February brings that time of year when the weather is unpredictable, awful and cold, and  all you want to do is snuggle up and watch TV and movies. It is also the unofficial (but we all know its official) month for watching ALL of the rom-coms.

Check out what is coming to Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime in February. Also, enjoy some of the cheesiest, most predicable, and lovingly best rom-coms on these services (nineties Sandy Bullock, anyone?)

Valentine's Day is almost here and that means romantic movies will be filling your TV screens. Romantic Comedies (Rom Com for short) are always entertaining especially when you are looking for a movie with a romantic story line but will also make you smile, laugh and sometimes cry. Rather than searching through your channels to find the best Valentine's Day themed TV shows and movies, I have put together a list of where you can find them. So grab your favorite blanket, some heart shaped candies, your snuggle buddy and maybe some wine to watch the love stories unfold.  

All Your Favorite Rom Coms:

Hallmark Channel:
Hallmark is the best for when you need a cheesy romantic comedy full of love and drama while you sit on your couch eating candy and trying to guess what flavor chocolate square you just ate. This year, Hallmark is on top of their game with a mix of new original movies and a few of the classic love stories everyone knows.

Watching TV is the absolute best especially when you are able to sit down, relax, and browse through your content with ease. On demand, fast forwarding through recorded TV, flipping through your favorites and browsing through the guide help make your TV watching experience that much better. All of those TV watching activities are made possible through your Fioptics TV Remote. Who knew such a tiny device could make your life that much simpler. Aren’t we all thankful we no longer have to get up to go change the channels? Although remotes make our lives easy, sometimes it feels like there are so many buttons that it can cause confusion on what they are actually meant to do. Everyone’s main question is “How do I program my Remote?” If you are ever confused on how to use your remote, setup your remote to have favorites, find information on the show you are watching or program your remote to the TV, this graphic will help.

Whether you are using the Fioptics TV Remote or the Fioptics TV - Large Button Remote, this will get you through so you can continue watching your favorite episodes and Fioptics content.

Wi-Fi Speed is something that we don’t always think about until Netflix…Won’t. Stop. Buffering. Or you are trying to upload your sister’s baby pictures to the cloud. Maybe you think about it when you web browser won’t refresh your page. Whenever you think about your Wi-Fi speed, you should feel comforted knowing there is a quick fix to your small issue so you can get back to your fast and reliable speed. The first step to speeding up your home wireless network is to troubleshoot.

“Okurrrrrt” It’s the day after the Super Bowl LIII and by now you should know the New England Patriots beat the L.A. Rams at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. You should also know that the game was not the most exciting and it was actually the lowest scoring Super Bowl game in history. The halftime show featured Maroon 5, Travis Scott, and SpongeBob SquarePants. That’s right. SpongeBob. Many fans begged to have the song “Sweet Victory” featured after SpongeBob’s creator/animator Stephen Hillenburg, passed away last year. SpongeBob did make a small cameo right before Travis Scott’s performance. The game finished with the Patriots winning and Tom Brady taking home another Super Bowl victory.

Super Bowl LIII (53)

Everyone knows the Super Bowl. Some people watch for the game, some for the halftime show, some for the commercials, and some just because it is on. Regardless of why you watch, and regardless of if you’re a football fan, the Super Bowl is a mecca of entertainment.

It’s almost February in Cincinnati which means the air is filled with cold temperatures but more importantly filled with love. Most people think to stay in during the chillier seasons, but I promise there are lots of activities that will warm your soul this February. Of course, mid-February is a time to celebrate Valentine’s Day with your significant other but there are also some lovely activities to do with your friends and loved ones in Cincinnati as well.

Here is a heart-y list of activities to do just in time for Valentine’s or Galentine’s Day: 

Cincinnati is known for a lot of things. Chili-cheese coneys, flying pigs, and of course, Geotta. Cincinnati has the crosstown basketball game, Fiona at the zoo, King’s Island amusement park, and Findlay Market. When you think of Cincinnati, though, do you think of nightlife?

When I think of cities with great nightlife, I think of cities like New York, Las Vegas, Chicago, and Los Angeles. In the past, I haven’t included Cincinnati in the group of major night life cities. However, that is about to change. 

Time is something we always want and need more of throughout the day. With a busy schedule, a full-time job, a family, all of your interests, distractions, and a million other little things, it’s hard to find extra time when you need it. Even just a few minutes can make a big difference. To try to make some extra time in my busy schedule, I use apps to keep my life simple and my day easy to manage. Whether you are looking for an app to help you save time on your morning commute, or an app to sync your connected home devices together, there is something for everyone.

I don’t want to waste your time (pun intended) so we will get right to it. Here are 19 apps that will save you the time you deserve!
