It is essentially a holiday for ladies to celebrate ladies A holiday of friendship. In Parks and Recreation, it was usually celebrated over breakfast foods.

S’mores by the fire pit: Check. Sappy movies: Check. Board games and popcorn: Check. You an make it whatever night you want it to be. It’s Galentine’s day.

Girls Night Out

Why not go out? How often are you unattached to something or someone that you ACTUALLY GET TO GO OUT? Try something new! A new live music venue. That new brewery you heard about. Hit the clubs! Find new clubs, or graze on the old clubs for nostalgic reasons. Make a girls night scavenger hunt through your city, just for fun and bonding time. Galentine’s day has no rules.

Weekend Trip

Make Galentine’s a big deal! Get out of town. Whether it’s camping, or up the the mountains, or somewhere on the beach. Fly to Vegas for a girls weekend or if Vegas is not your style, try a city by a beach or mountain town. Girls trips are always unforgettable, even if you are just lunching by the pool the whole time with a cocktail gossiping.

Treat Yo’ Self

Don’t get this confused with a bridal shower, but a pamper party is the way to go. Make the day all about you and your girls. Get your nails done, go to the spa, or get a massage. Treat Yo’ Self! And your girls. Hanging out getting your nails done will spark conversation, memories or Prom or weddings and keep the friendship juices flowing. It’s Galentine’s Day. Live it up!

Stay-Cation

Much like the weekend away, pick a hotel in your city, have an awesome night getting dinner, drinks, cocktails and desserts all while chilling with no major plans than to hang tight, walk around the city, hit a few bars and then find the comforts of your hotel . One of my favorite memories is that one of the hotels where we stayed at for my friends Bachelorette party offers milk and cookies after 9 pm in the dining area. We didn’t plan on this but it was the best part of the night as we all went downstairs before we went to the club and sat around eating milk and cookies and sharing all the good gossip. Not every hotel is going to offer that, but it’s a cool idea to surprise your friends with when you get back to the hotel.

Be Complimentary

Galentine’s day is a day of celebration. Compliment each other , love each other and treat each other. Come up with some unique gifts that celebrate your friendship. Make everyone feel special. Like it’s everyone’s birthday including yours!

Whip Cream, strawberries, Nutella, jelly, you name it, the toppings are endless. Much like the milk and cookies, good conversation and good friendship can be accompanied by waffles. Galentine’s day waffles. Sounds pretty good to me.
