Ditch Valentine’s Day and Embrace Galentine’s Day #

Who needs the pressure to pack all your love into one day? This year, why not lean into a less pressure-filled holiday and embrace Galentine’s Day? Born from the sitcom ‘Parks and Recreation,’ the ‘Galentine’s Day’ episode first aired on February 11, 2010. The tradition has since grown into a commercially viable and widely practiced holiday. Galentine’s Day, which falls on the day before Valentine’s Day, is all about celebrating yourself and your friendships. It typically involves brunching with your gal pals and enjoying some good company. Whether you’re single or simply need a break from your significant other, Galentine’s Day can be a day to turn inward and show yourself some love and tender care.
