Whether you’re head-over-heels or burnt out on love, Galentine’s Day is something we all need a little more of.
So, what the heck is Galentine’s Day? It’s understandable you’d ask, especially if you’ve never watched the show Parks and Recreation. Simply put, Galentine’s Day is a holiday invented by Parks and Rec character Leslie Knope (played by Amy Poehler). This can’t-be-missed holiday happens every year, exactly one day before Valentine’s Day—so don’t worry, you can still enjoy that candlelit dinner with your significant other.
Still confused? Leslie Knope weighs in:
"Oh, it's only the best day of the year. Every February 13th, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies. It's like Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus frittatas."
It’s basically like Valentine’s Day, but celebrated with your best gal pals. Because your girlfriends deserve a holiday that’s not you sending a last-minute card two days after their birthday. And since Galentine’s Day is becoming more and more popular as each year passes, we thought you should know about it! Not sure how to celebrate? We’ve got your back.
