Galentine’s Day is celebrated tomorrow, February 13. This holiday is about female friendships and celebrating those special friends you have in your life. The term Galentine’s Day came from the show Parks and Recreation. On the show Leslie Knope defines Galentine's Day as "the best day of the year." What I love most about this day is that it’s not an anti-Valentine's Day…no bitter Betty, it's a positive day to celebrate friendships.
Being single can be hard around this holiday (if you don’t want to be single) so it’s nice to have a day to celebrate with friends and going out on a work night means you will be pooped the next day so you won’t have to worry about what everyone is doing on Valentine’s Day because you’ll be sleeping. LOL!
Today, I want to share a few ways you can celebrate with your girls:
· Create a Galentine Day goody bag! The bag can include wine, chocolate, face mask, a gift card, etc.
· Go have a nice dinner.
· Have a facial or massage or both.
· Have a potluck dinner and watch Rom-coms.
· Indulge in lots of sweet treats. Calories do not count on Galentine’s Day
· Have a brainstorm or a vision board session. Have you, or your bestie been thinking about starting a part-time hustle, a company or even a new book? In this session hype each other up and share all the reasons why y’all should just do it.
· Send each other uplifting female-empowering songs all day. Ex. Run the World by Beyoncé, Beautiful by Christina Aguilera or Good as Hell by Lizzo to name a few.
These are just a few things feel free to add to my list.
Tomorrow or this weekend grab your girls and celebrate your friendship and all the amazing things you all are doing.
Are you planning to celebrate Galentine’s Day? If so, what’s your plan?
Happy Galentine’s Day,
