As the month of love passes it is evident that more and more, women are embracing a shift away from traditional Valentine’s Day customs and focusing on celebrating the connections they have with those they are closest to – their \u2018galentines\u2019. <\/strong><\/h4>\n

In fact, the endorphins generated from an evening out with your bestie or group of friends are immense.<\/p>\n

Here are a few ideas to spark the idea bank when next you\u2019re planning a galentines get together:<\/p>\n

Bestie Brunch
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Start the day off right with a delicious brunch spread and a gaggle of gorgeous mates. Whip up some pancakes, avocado toast, or indulge in pastries from your local bakery. After all, nothing says love like a belly full of good food accompanied by great company.<\/p>\n

Dance Therapy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Silent discos are all the rage but let us not forget a simple get together to let loose and bust out your best dance moves. Try out the aptly named \u2018Best Friends\u2019 playlist<\/a> for maximum enjoyment. It’s a fantastic way to bond, burn calories and have an absolute blast!<\/p>\n

Glam Squad<\/strong><\/p>\n

Transform your living room into a makeshift salon and indulge in some glam time with your gal-entine squad. Set up a makeup station complete with mirrors, brushes, and your favourite beauty products. Don’t forget to include a wash and blow station using the newly launched shampoo and conditioner range from Shower to Shower. Their Shea Butter & Milk Extract Shampoo and Conditioner makes the ideal add on for a pre-party hair revival! Plus, it’s the perfect opportunity for an impromptu photoshoot to capture the glam.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mates Movie Marathon<\/strong><\/p>\n

After pampering yourselves, settle in for a cosy movie marathon featuring the best chick flicks. Whether you’re into classic rom-coms like The Notebook<\/em> or action-packed adventures like Mr and Mrs Smith<\/em>, make sure to have plenty of popcorn and snacks on hand.<\/p>\n

Divine Dessert<\/strong><\/p>\n

It might seem cliched to invite your mates over for a kitchen-related activity, but give it a try. Nothing says \u2018I love you bestie\u2019 like creating a delicious dessert together with good music to set the scene. Settle in for a long-overdue catch up whilst you devour your heavenly creation on the couch.<\/p>\n

As Leslie Knope from “Parks and Recreation” famously said, “What’s Galentine’s Day? It’s only the best day of the year.” So, let’s make every day a Gal-entine’s Day and celebrate the power of love and friendship throughout the month!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
