It’s that time of year again - Christmas and New Year’s have passed, which means pink and red decor, heart-shaped goodies, and balloons are hitting the TV ads and the store shelves alike. It’s the day of love, but not only for romantic relationships - also for your best lady friends!
Galentine’s Traditions have increased in popularity over the past few years. You may have girlfriends that live near or far - but, if there’s anyone who can make the most out of a FaceTime, a Zoom Happy Hour, or a multi-way phone call, it’s the girls.
Whether you’re celebrating this Galentine’s with your closest besties, or a fully virtual reunion, here’s a few ways to get you in the spirit of the season and making memories with your favorite gal pals.
Make Your Own Cocktail (Or MockTail) + Watch Party!
Step 1: Plan a night where you and your girls can each order these cute DIY Cocktail kits and make them together, or over video chat, and enjoy the experience of being mixologists to prep for your cozy night in.
Step 2: Get comfortable on your respective couch(es) and zoom-binge your favorite Netflix series, bachelorette episode, or feel-good movie marathon together.
Step 3: Sip and relax.
