Celebrate Galentine’s Day With Your Friends! 

Valentine’s Day: A day to celebrate our significant others via grand declarations of love, usually over a scrumptious meal and perhaps a bottle of wine.  

Taking a day to celebrate the love we share with our partners is great. But what about a day to celebrate the love we have for our friends?  

In a world focused on romantic relationships, it’s easy to overlook the value of friendship. This year, consider taking a page from the beloved TV show Parks and Recreation by celebrating Galentine’s Day instead (or in addition to) Valentine’s Day. 

Galentine’s Day, coined by the fabulous and quirky Leslie Knope, is a day dedicated to celebrating the bonds of friendship with your closest pals. Remember the days when we eagerly exchanged Valentine’s Day cards with all of our classmates? Those youthful gestures were simple yet profound expressions of friendship. Galentine’s Day offers us the perfect opportunity to revisit that feeling and shower our friends with appreciation! Whether it’s a heartfelt message, a thoughtful gift, or a simple hug, let’s take the time to show our friends how much they mean to us.

Galentine’s day spa session

Outdoor adventure 

Take advantage of the great outdoors and plan a fun-filled day of hiking, picnicking, or exploring a nearby park. Enjoy the beauty of nature and the company of good friends as you embark on an adventure together. 

Coffee date catch-up  

Life can get busy, and sometimes we forget to check in on our friends as often as we should. Galentine’s Day serves as a gentle reminder to reach out and reconnect with those who hold a special place in our hearts. Even if your schedules don’t align for a full day together, a quick catch-up over a cup of coffee can mean the world to a friend. And if you have friends who don’t live nearby, making the time for a phone call or virtual chat can give you the boost of friendly warm fuzzies you both need.  

Let’s prioritize these moments of connection and make them a regular part of our lives. 

This Galentine’s Day, let’s celebrate the incredible friendships that enrich our lives by showering our friends with love, laughter, and appreciation. Whether it’s a simple gesture or a grand celebration, make sure our friends know just how much they mean to us.  

Happy Galentine’s Day to all the amazing gals out there! 👩‍❤️‍👩
