5 ways to celebrate galentine’s day

February 11, 2022      10 Comments

We celebrate Galentine’s Day on February 13, as a way to honor female friendships. The day was created by Leslie Knope, of Parks and Recreation fame, whose enthusiasm for girl power led to the annual commemoration.

“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.”

Leslie Knope

Schedule A Workout With Friends

Obviously, the best way to star any holiday is with some fitness. Gather up one girlfriend or your entire sisterhood and go for a run or bike ride, hit the gym, or take a class. There’s no better way to set the tone for the rest of the day.

Get Yourself The Flowers

No matter your relationship status, sometimes you just have to get the flowers for yourself. While you don’t ever need a special occasion for them, Galentine’s is the perfect time to treat yourself.

Treat Your Friends

Galentine’s Day is a great time to show your friends how much you love and appreciate them. Make them a little goodie bag with mini bottles of champagne (I glittered mine), and a waffle-themed treat (Honey Stinger Waffles are a great option) with a little Galentine’s themed note!

Eat Waffles! And Frittatas!

You cannot have Galentine’s Day without waffles! And frittatas! I very highly recommend warm waffles with all the toppings: strawberries, blueberries, whipped cream, chocolate chips, maple syrup, sprinkles and whatever else puts a smile in your heart. Serve with an egg dish (if a frittata isn’t your style, make egg cups with cheese, bacon, and some sautéed, chopped veggies). Serve with some prosecco and enjoy!

Be Good To Yourself

On this day, recognize yourself for the “poetic and noble land-mermaid” you are and do something nice for yourself. Get a manicure, rock a new outfit, register for a race, or take yourself to do something you’ve been wanting to try. For bonus points, do it with your besties.

Remember: “We need to remember what’s important in life: friends, waffles, work. Or waffles, friends, work. Doesn’t matter, but work is third.” How are you celebration Galentine’s Day?

    I admittedly forgot to plan something for galentines day. We do have a group run on Sunday so that will be a nice way to hang with my crew. Finding your people is everything!

    As a,ways, you are so creative Jenn! You are obviously a great friend. I think my gift to myself will just be resting! It’s been a super busy week. Maybe I can find a new to me movie to watch, too.

      oooh, I hope you find a good movie! We watched The Power Of The Dog, The Last Duel, and The Green Knight most recently. I also watched I Want You Back, which was silly, but fun.

Drinking in that sunshine for sure! It was a bea Drinking in that sunshine for sure! 

It was a beautiful morning that turned quickly into a beautiful day. Sundays are hard because they are immediately  followed by Mondays, and Mondays are hard.

Lots to catch up on this week! April is chock full of holidays, birthdays, days off, and events, so let’s get to it!

About this morning… I was up and out early to d About this morning…

I was up and out early to drive to Flagler Beach for the #Missionpossible5k.

It was a small, well organized event, with an easy-to-follow course (the last mile was almost exclusively an ocean view), with great shirts and swag.

I was really pleased with my performance, and even more pleased with this beach sunrise. I’ll share more on the #RunnersRundown on Wednesday, so stay tuned!

Where did you run or race this weekend?

Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it. So goo Oh, hello long sleeves. I’m here for it.

So good to stretch the legs today. I was super sore after a @runsmartofficial cross training session last night, and needed to just get out there and let the fresh air work its magic.

What are you up to today? I really need to take a moment with my calendar and get some plans locked into place.

Check out those blue skies! I got to sleep in AND Check out those blue skies!

I got to sleep in AND take advantage of some cooler temps. It really didn’t warm up until my last mile and that was just fine.

I feel like this month and next are really just flying by. So much is going on, and I want so badly to enjoy it all, including the crisp, sunny days where we find them!

Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and Kind of a meh day. I got in some walking miles and some balance and strength work through @runsmartofficial.

Tomorrow will be cooler and more productive for sure!

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you all, but y Happy Monday!

I don’t know about you all, but your girl is TIRED. It is so hard to roll out of bed some mornings. Ugh. 

I managed (finally) and banked six miles in some gross humidity. And now it’s time for some self care and then back to work.

Also. We have somehow acquired a pecan tree? Any tips on the growth and care of this would be greatly appreciated!

Sunday fun day! Just a short walk to start the da Sunday fun day!

Just a short walk to start the day and work out some stiffness. Some days, my ankle just doesn’t want to cooperate 🫤

I have been making graphics and content all day for a client, and now I’m about to do hair and makeup for a little event. Wheee! 

This week is going to be BUSY! There’s a lot of changes to the regular routines (nails, a digital learning day, after school and weekend programming) and I have a race on Saturday and bocce ball on Sunday! 

Who else is ready to dive in?!
