It's finally February folks and guess what that means--it's almost time for the greatest holiday of the year. What holiday is that you may ask? One that is filled with love, appreciation, and celebration of close relationships.

That's right: GALENTINE'S DAY.

Galentine's Day is all about embracing your fellow fantastic females and showing them what they mean to you. Time to get real: from overcoming everyday prejudice and shattering the glass ceiling to literally making other human beings, women are pretty freakin' amazing.

Wanna join in on the lady-loving fun but aren't really sure how? Look no further: there is no better way to learn than from the resident expert on respecting women, Leslie Knope.

1. First of all, embrace your own ~womanhood~.

In order to respect other women, you BEST be sure to respect yourself. Cut yourself some slack this Galentine's Day--you're working hard and kicking butt.

2. Give yourself a quick pep talk.

It's the perfect day to do the thing you're most afraid of.

3. Remind your fellow ladies of their worth.

Compliments can go a long way when they come from a genuine place.

4. Encourage those in your life who are also ~respecting women~ to keep on keepin' on.

You: "Women are so strong."

Me:

5. Show your ladies that you're there for them no matter what...

Even when they're not expecting it.

6...And that they have a really important place in your life.

Priorities, ladies.

7. Give a quick lesson if need be.

Feminism is difficult for some people to understand. Educate those in denial.

8. While you're at it, break those gender roles!!

Remember, a woman's place is anywhere she wants it to be.

9. Have fun!

After all, it is a celebration.

10. And always remember...

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
