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.

Welcome back Justice Crew!

                                           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...

Light in the Darkness

  We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly.   But that doesn’t mean our light is gone.   Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky.   No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do.   Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...
