Galentine's Day Ideas

-

Happy Valentine's Day! Remember it is not just for couples, it is a day to celebrate love in all forms and here I am sharing some ideas for how you could celebrate Galentine's day. No that isn't a typo, Galentine's day is a real thing. 

It was inspired by an episode of the popular television show, Parks and Recreation, in which the lead character gathers all her female friends every February 13th to celebrate their friendship. This day is complete with delicious food, positive conversation, thoughtful gifts and fun activities.




With the pandemic and restrictions still around, I am including some activities you can do at home.


Spa day

After a busy week, you deserve to relax and feel rejuvenated  so host a spa day at home. Put on light, calming music, wear robes and face masks, and just enjoy the day.


Cooking club

This one is for a group that enjoys cooking. Select a recipe book and have everyone bring a dish from it. This is a fun way to try out your skills in the kitchen and taste multiple dishes.


Game night

Games are fun for all ages. Invite your girl friends over to play board or card games you have or they bring. It will be a fun night of healthy competition with you best friends.


Beach day

If it is summer where you live and there are no restrictions, spend the day at the beach. Take a picnic basket of snacks to eat. Enjoy the sunshine, warmth, and swimming.


Road Trip

Plan a road trip with a few friends to celebrate Galentine’s Day. Create a playlist of all your favorite tunes that you can sing along to while en route.


DIY Day

Gather your friends for an afternoon of arts and crafts. 


Galentine's Day High Tea

Buy or make some little sandwiches, macarons, cakes,  and scones for a high tea. 


Go shopping with the girls

Spend the day at the shopping centre. You could look for a new outfit, buy gifts for each other or just look around.


Movie marathon

Who doesn't love a movie marathon? Weall do this sometimes and it's more fun when you have people with you. You could binge on a TV series or a particular movie genre. Watching movies with your celebrity crushes is particularly great on Valentine's day!


So there are a few ways you can celebrate the day of love with your friends. Once again. happy Valentine's day! No matter what your relationship status is, I hope you know that you are loved.

                                           Photo credit to @Justicecrewofficial Instagram Justice Crew are a dance and music group who won Australia's Got Talent in 2010 and went on to release many amazing songs including number one hits Boom Boom and Que Sera . After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back!  I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend. There was a huge crowd there to see them, which surprised a few people, including maybe the guys themselves. After six years, they probably felt rusty, but they were actually amazing as always. It was so cool to see them on stage again and here all the hit songs the number ones and  Everybody. It's so crazy how even now, after six year...

Time To Break Away

In 2018, I introduced you all to an incredible singer from St Lucia, D.B.L, who I found while scrolling through Instagram. I have quietly kept up with all his news, he has done so many amazing things. In October 2025, D.B.L released a single called Time To Break Away and, in this post, I am going to share my thoughts on the song and video with you.  Time To Break Away by D.B.L Image from Genius Time To Break Away explores the themes of rebellion, overcoming struggle and escaping negativity and talks about serious conflict we see happening in the world. Listening to the lyrics makes me feel emotional, and I think everyone who listens to it will feel something.  "You have to go to sleep with one eye open The rebel’s on the prowl to search for victim You got to know the rules or else it’s the end Now look at what’s around you all the bloodshed The propaganda spread the lies that dem spread The bigotry deceit to hide the problem Hypocrisy me me can’t understand I think about the c...

Reflective Essay - Michael

I’ve been a huge fan of the Jackson Five, Michael Jackson, and the entire Jackson family for as long as I can remember. Their music has been woven through my childhood, my teens, and my adult life. I was twenty when Michael passed in 2009, and like so many others, I still remember exactly where I was when the news broke. I watched every tribute, interview, documentary, and the public memorial. I’ve listened to their music, watched their reality shows, and read their books. So walking into the cinema to watch Michael wasn’t just going to see a movie. It felt like returning to a story I’ve carried with me almost my whole life. I saw the film on the Saturday of the ANZAC Day long weekend. The shopping centre wasclosed except for the cinema, which gave the whole morning a calm, almost sacred feeling. I was the first person to walk into VMax Cinema 1. Originally, I had booked my usual back‑row seat, but while waiting outside, something made me change my mind. I wanted to be closer. I ...
