Galentine's Day - celebrating lady love and friendship with extra sparkle!

Ladies, mark your calendars for Galentine's Day, a fabulous holiday straight out of the hit show Parks and Recreation! It's all about sisterhood and honouring the amazing women in your life, celebrated on February 13th, just before Valentine's Day.

Picture this: brunch dates, pampering sessions, movie marathons, and gift swaps with your besties - that's how Galentine's Day rolls! This up and coming holiday has been spreading like wildfire, highlighting the magic of female friendships and their super positive vibes on mental health.

Big bash or cosy hangout, Galentine's Day is your chance to shower your gal pals with love and gratitude. So, rally your squad and let the friendship fiesta begin!

Here are five Galentine’s Day ideas to celebrate with your girlfriends:

1. Host a brunch: Gather your girlfriends for a fun and delicious brunch. Serve some of your favourite foods and drinks, and encourage everyone to bring a dish to share. You can decorate the table with flowers and balloons, and play some music to set the mood.

2. Have a spa day: Treat yourselves to a day of relaxation and pampering. You can book a spa day at a local salon or create your own DIY spa day at home. Set up a manicure and pedicure station, facial masks, and massages. Don’t forget the wine and chocolate!

3. Plan a movie night: Choose some of your favourite chick flicks and comedies, and settle in for a cosy movie night. Provide plenty of snacks and drinks, and make sure everyone is comfortable with pillows and blankets. You can even set up a photo booth with props to capture some fun memories.

4. Take a class: Sign up for a fun class together, like cooking, painting, or dancing. This is a great way to try something new and bond with your friends over a shared experience. You can also turn it into a regular event and try a new class each month.

5. Volunteer together: Give back to your community by volunteering together. You can choose a cause that’s important to all of you, like animal welfare, the environment, or education. Not only will you be doing something good, but you’ll also be strengthening your friendships by working together towards a common goal.
