Feeling single? Celebrate galentines with your pals this Valentine’s Day

Create the most magical galentines experiences with your close friends this February. Gather your friends and celebrate the ultimate day that is meant to highlight and celebrate the true beauty of platonic friendships. Before we continue, this day is gender-neutral and applies to individuals of all genders and orientations.

Regardless of your relationship status, this day is dedicated simply to gushing over your friends and showing them the appreciation that they deserve. Galentines follows the same concept as Valentine’s Day but focuses on all the bonds we form with our friends.

Whether you use this day to gift your girls or dress up and catch the sunset while sipping on mimosas, the mandate remains that the day should be used to show gratitude to your friends and just catch up as girls. The day is celebrated annually across the world and falls on the 14th of February.

According to Cosmopolitan – a women’s magazine dedicated to fashion, love, and celebrity news – “Galentine’s Day is dedicated to showing the most important people in your life how much you care about them. It’s corny. It’s cheesy. And that’s what makes it great.”

If you are not all boo’ed up and keen on this year’s Valentine’s Day then worry not because this day will close that void as it strengthens platonic relations and can be used to empower friendships and individuals. If this sounds like quite a strange concept to you then don’t be too quick to bash it before giving it a fair chance. You might just become addicted and hop onto the bandwagon.

If you are a group of girls who prefer being indoors then be sure to spice up your space and host your girls on a romantic indoor movie night or even a themed girls brunch. Dress up or down, it’s just a preference, the vital part is to have your pals around. For those groups of friends who are often too busy or scattered across the world then be sure to have an online date or send one another cute gifts and parcels.
