Gal-entine's Day. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, Gal-entine's Day takes place on February 13th, the day before Valentine's Day, where you ditch the boys and take a day to hang out with your gal pals. So here are a few ideas.
1. Netflix and Chill- but for real.
Pull out the remote and put on some "Friends" or "Gossip Girl" and just chillax.
2. Go out dancing.
Salsa, Swing, or just plain dancing. Go out with some friends and dance the night away.
3. Go on a picnic
Who says picnics have to be romantic? Find the best park, roll out a blanket and pack a delicious lunch (or, ya know, order something from Chipotle and bring it with you).
4. Fancy Dinner
Make-up on, dressed to the nines and treat yo self to an amazing dinner with your best girl friends.
5. Secret Sister
Pull names and send your girl a package. This is especially great because then you don't have to get anything for everyone, just one person.
6. Give Each Other Makeovers
Nothing feels better than getting all dolled up even if you have nowhere to go. It is also fun to make over friends in ways that they would never do themselves.
7. Go out to coffee
Coffee is always a good choice. Even if you don't like coffee, get a chai or italian soda and catch up with your girls.
8. Pinterest Party
These are the best. Either set a craft that everyone can do together, or have everyone do their own and bring their supplies so that you can all just craft in each others presence.
9. Panty Exchange
Similar to Secret Santa, but not quite. Have each person put their name, panty size and 2-3 adjectives about what they would like. You then exchange and see what hilarity ensues.
10. Watch a Female Empowerment Movie
No better way to proclaim how much you love your girl friends than by watching a movie that reaffirms your badassery.
11. Baking Contest
Whip out the flour and sugar and have everyone bake their favorite sweet. Have a taste test. Then eat it all.
12. Eat Ben & Jerry's and Gab
Or the good old classic, minus the break up crying. Just sit, talk, catch up and laugh because your friends are the best and we all dont admit that enough.
