How To Have The Ultimate Galentine's Day
Galantines day is a day celebrated on February 13th and it is dedicated to all your best gal pals and the love you have for them, whether they are single or not. The beauty of celebrating on 13th is that you get to avoid all the mushy couples staring into each other’s eyes over candlelight and you can actually get a seat at a bar so you can gossip and laugh all night long!
The bond between gal pals is super strong, you have seen each other in the worst possible ways and yet you are still friends - that is saying something. You have shared memories and laughter that no one else will truly understand, and you know that you can tell them absolutely anything with absolutely no judgement.
The idea actually came from the series Parks and Recreation. Leslie Knope, played by Amy Poehler, explains it’s meaning while throwing an annual Galentine's Day bash for her friends. "Every February 13th, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home and we just come and kick it breakfast style. Ladies celebrating ladies."
With galantines day just around the corner, here is how you can have the ultimate celebration…
Treat yo’ self - PAMPER NIGHT
First things first, hair up, bra off and get those jimmy jams on. Who cares that you look like a mess because nothing says relaxation like comfies and a dressing gown, and let's face it, your gal pals are not going to judge! Facemasks, nails and hair – Treat Yo Self! You can even set up a little circuit of pampering – first stop relaxation station! The greatest love is self-love with a combination of the love of your sisters!
Crappy films and a movie – Must include CHOCOLATE
Its girl’s night, and the last thing you want is an intense, elaborate and serious plotline. You need a light-hearted fluffy movie to whack on in the background while you gossip here and there. Try bridesmaids if you’re after something funny, or maybe something more notebook-esque if you want a little cry. Either way, you ladies are in it together. And we all know the worst part of a girls night is flicking through all of the various films, so make sure you plan your movie options. Have backups at the ready so you don’t waste precious snacking time!
Ladies night - BEST PLACES TO EAT AND DRINK)
If you want to venture out, then strut your stuff! Paint the town red, pink, yellow, and blue – whatever! Fill it with colour and love for the sisterhood. If you fancy a drink then check out some of the best bars Liverpool has to offer here. Why not dance the night away and make memories to last a lifetime. Memories like avoiding anyone else that isn’t in your squad and leaving early to get cheesy chips before bed. Ideal!
Brunch - BEST MEAL EVER
Ahhhhh brunch! What a glorious meal, and a perfect excuse to catch up and discuss the night before. Brunch allows you to step into a realm of unlimited possibility. Pancakes, bacon, eggs, sausage, granola (weird), sandwiches, burritos, tacos, coffee, tea, prosecco, you name it… brunch allows you to have it. Brunch between besties is the perfect combination; you can even make it a bottomless brunch and perhaps throw a little bit of prosecco into the mix. Check out our top brunch spots here.
Dine in - PICK A THEME
There is nothing better than a good old theme, and running wild with it. Why not get your gals together and have a Mexican theme? Fajitas, nachos, enchiladas, the lot! Or perhaps a curry night...A pizza night...A Greek night, whatever tickles your fancy, make a night of it! The options are endless. All you need is a plan, your gal pals, and some super stretchy sweatpants for all the delicious delicacies you’re going to consume!
