Galentine's Day

Valentine’s Day is less than a week away, but there’s another holiday we cannot forget to celebrate, Galentine’s Day! Some of us, including myself, don’t have that special someone who we’ll be canoodling with over a candlelit dinner or cozying up to afterwards. What I do have though is a great circle of girlfriends, and we’re close enough to canoodle and cuddle together if we want!

Last year, my friends and I celebrated the occasion by going out to dinner and then enjoying red velvet cake dessert back in my room. I’m pretty sure I ate 2/3 of that heart shaped dessert, but it was a holiday, so calories don’t exist! We also sent each other candy grams and other little presents leading up to the day. It was like recreating elementary school Valentine’s Days, when everyone got cards and candy. 

So, if you don’t have a date, make Valentine’s Day a fun day with cake, cards, and candy! Invite your closest friends or family to share in the festivities or if you really want, you can stay in by yourself; that’s cool too. Take Galentines’ Day as a day to do what you want, but either way I highly recommend you start by watching the Parks and Recreation episode of “Galentines’ Day” to celebrate it the best way possible.
