Galentine's Day Get Together

Rebecca Jackson • February 15, 2022

Today's the best day to stock up on discounted Valentine's goodies for a Galentine's Get Together!

If you have never taken time to celebrate "Gal"entine's Day instead of Valentine's Day, you should consider it this year! Get some of your gal friends together & have a little pamper session to show yourselves a little self-love! I have done this twice in my life, once in highschool as a bitter, single teenager & once 5 years ago, in the middle of my thirties, as a happily married woman and overextended mother of 4. Both times I hosted "Gal"entine's Day get togethers, I was motivated by different desires & feelings; both times I achieved the enjoyable, relaxing evening of fun & memory making that I had set out for. I shifted the focus of the day from "Romantic Love" to "Personal Love" and it made ALL the difference.

Personal love allows you to fill yourself up, with the care, kindness & attention you crave, so that you can Fill Your Cup First & worry LESS about how others make you feel.

Your value lies in YOU after all, not their opinions or feelings OF you!

7Ways to

Show Yourself Some Love

Practice reciting affirmations into a mirror
Treat yourself to a sweet treat you miss.
Take time to do meditation or breathwork.
Soak in the tub or try a face mask.
Get glammed up just because!
Have a Dance Party, NO love songs!
Invite a few close friends over to join!

Here are a few of the things I considered & prepared for my

"Galentine's Get Togethers"

Sweet Treats & Decadence: let yourself enjoy some treats and don't be afraid to make them decadent! Share a recipe card or two, or three with friends so they can take home!
Fun & Frills: plan a game or activity that is just fun, maybe even silly, and frill it up a little to add to the fun! Consider picking up a few goofy prizes or sample products as favors.
Affirming Reminders To Go: put together some notecards with affirmations written. Give a stack to each guest and encourage them to read them one at a time as they need.
Pampering & Playing: think of a couple mini pamper session tasks, maybe a mask, manicures, or how about a masseuse? Don't forget to play some relaxing music too!

Now WHO are you going to celebrate with?

Now, procrastinate no more, hit the discount section of the store tonight where all the clearanced Valentine's sweets & decorations have gone to pick up some cheap supplies & start creating a plan!

So, text or call a few gals & shoot for this weekend!!!
