Mark your calendar and get excited, because February 13 is a special holiday just for us ladies - Galentine's Day! We all know that quality time with our best friends feeds the soul better than anything else in life. So on this very special occasion, let’s raise a toast to female friendships everywhere. No matter what your relationship status may be or how you plan to spend Valentine’s Day, nothing can ever compare with the bond we share with our closest girlfriends—and it sure deserves celebrating every single year.
As a woman, you may feel like you’re constantly juggling – home, work, social events and beyond. With so many demands in life, it's important for women to prioritize taking time for themselves and connecting with those who can provide love and understanding. For those of us facing extra challenges such as separation or divorce, it's even more important to set time aside to nurture yourself.
Galentine's Day has been gaining traction in real life ever since it was made famous in 2010 by Amy Poehler's character, Leslie Knope, on Parks and Recreation. It continues to be a special occasion for women all around the world. Although a fancy brunch is the “traditional” way to spend Galentine's Day, it has changed over time to become whatever feels right for you. The best part about this “holiday” is that there are no rules! Celebrate your special day however you please – whether it's an ultra-luxurious staycation at a fancy hotel with all the bells and whistles, or a cozy night in with PJs, a classic rom-com and some fun snacks. Whatever activity you choose, make sure to focus on reconnecting with each other so that everyone can benefit from some quality time together.
Celebrate your femininity and show yourself some love this Galentine's Day. Reconnect with old friends, spoil yourself a little, and spend time away from the kids. Most of all, take joy in feeling supported by those close to you while forgetting any difficulties that may be clouding your horizon.
So go out there and celebrate yourself with other like-minded women. Spoil yourselves, have fun - you deserve it! And don't forget to spread the love this Galentine's Day.
