Earlier this month, I joined a number of fellow bloggers at the stunning Ritz Carlton hotel as we kicked off the Stream Team blogger program with a lavish Oscar viewing party. Dressed up in evening wear, we enjoyed fabulous food and complimentary hair and makeup touch-ups by celebrity stylists. The event was hosted by Jenny McCabe, Director of Global Media Relations at Netflix, who shared the inside scoop at Netflix and answered questions.

Having been a Netflix subscriber for several years, I was more than delighted to join the Netflix Canada Stream Team. A few months ago, we cancelled our cable service in our home since Netflix offers an expansive array of movies, documentaries and TV shows which we can enjoy at home or while traveling. We access Netflix on our iPhones, iPad, laptop and desktop computers as well as on our TV via Nintendo Wii and now Roku. And yes, I'm guilty of binge watching! In fact, it was thanks to Netflix that I decided to watch The Vampire Diaries by catching up on the earlier seasons and now I'm hooked. Over the holidays, I watched the entire Rocky collection and in February, I watched the first two seasons of House of Cards. My latest obsession? Breaking Bad. Such a bad habit to break!

Over the next year, I will be sharing with you the latest Netflix news and exciting announcements such as the addition of King Julien in his very own show and Puss in Boots. Veggie Tales in the House and Turbo and his Fast Action Stunt Team will be returning to Netflix, too! All new episodes from the first season of Turbo FAST will be available for streaming on April 4.
