There is a special holiday coming up for loved ones. A day filled with love, candy hearts, and frantic, last-minute gift shopping.
Of course, we are talking about Galentine's Day, because friendships are everything.
What is Galentine's Day, you ask? Well, it is Leslie Knope's favorite, self-invented holiday. In her own words, "It's only the best day of the year."
On the day before Valentine's Day, Galentine's Day means you celebrate the love you have for your closest girls. Bring your coworker, mom, roommates, or even your favorite Starbucks barista. It is a day to celebrate your fellow women.
1. Brunch
Leslie Knope spends her Galentine's Day at JJ's Diner. Keke's or Metro Diner serve as sufficient substitutes.
2. Eat waffles
For any great Galentine's day, eating breakfast is pretty much an unwritten rule. Make sure to settle in with a pile of waffles in front of you. It is a must.
3. Exchange gifts
A simple card will do. It shows your thoughtfulness. But, I know I would not mind one of those stuffed animals that are entirely unnecessary and bigger than me.
4. Take a road trip
Since the day should be dedicated to your friends, a girl's trip to St. Augustine or Disney is the perfect way to spend this special holiday.
5. Shower each other with love
This day is the perfect time to reflect on memories and start planning new ones.
6. Capture the memories
Of course, you will want to capture this day and all its cuteness. Take pictures of your adventures and share on social media.
7. Watch a movie
Hint: "Fifty Shades Freed."
8. TV show marathon
It is a given that you should watch where it all started. Spend the night binge-watching "Parks and Recreation," witnessing Leslie Knope create this much-celebrated holiday - my president.
9. Throw a party
The only way to truly celebrate with the girls is to celebrate with the girls.
10. Karaoke
Include karaoke at your party and end the night embarrassing yourself among friends. Spice Girl's "Wannabe" and Shania Twain's Man, I Feel Like A Woman!" are acceptable choices.
