Actually, yes. There is. I looked it up.

It’s like Valentines Day, except for girls. It may not be an official “holiday” but for millions of gals (women, ladies, girls, whatever you prefer to call you and your female friends), it really is a thing.

Now over the years, many single women used to dread Valentine’s Day because it reminded a lot of them that weren’t in a relationship, whether through no fault of their own, or they’d just had a terrible breakup or worse, their husband had passed away, or they just weren’t interested in a relationship at that point in time.

Right now the “official” Galentines Day is February 13. It’s a day for celebrating the platonic love between women, and friends of all genders. It can be with mothers, daughters, sisters, friends. Many women actually schedule Galentines Day and go out with their female friends while leaving their own husbands or significant others to fend for themselves.

It’s actually got some traditions already started. Like getting a bunch of friends lined up to go out and then drawing names to get that person a special gift to open that night from their “galentine”. I sort of like that idea.  It’s sort of like a secret Santa,only a “Secret Cupid”.

You can have the Galentines celebration at a restaurant or at someone’s home. With special indulgent sweet treats, like brownie heart cupcakes, pink champagne truffles, raspberry velvet cake, etc., forget the main course and go straight to the dessert.

After some special cocktails or champagne, of course. Or with those yummy desserts. Who cares? It’s a celebration!

In fact, you can make it an all day celebration, with a spa day, including mani-pedis, hair color and styling, massages, wine tasting…you name it.

So what do you think? Are you ready for something different this year? 

Let your imagination take flight, and let us know what you come up with!

Actually it sounds like a lot of fun!
