11 Ways To Spoil Your BFF This Galentine’s Day

Oh Ann, you are a beautiful tropical fish. Smart as a whip, and cool under pressure. – Leslie Knope

What is Galentine’s Day?

“Galentine’s Day” was coined by Amy Poehler’s character on Parks And Rec, Leslie Knope as an addition to Valentine’s Day to honor her best friend Ann Perkins. Galentine’s Day is when, before one delves into the usual mushy romantic stuff with your partner on Feb 14th (or not, if you are single), you first celebrate your best lady friend(s) on Feb 13th!

It’s a Holiday that goes beyond its catchy name, resonating with all of us women who have been fortunate enough to have a badass BFF in our lives. It’s a day to honor them, and all things girl power!
