Galentines: The Ultimate Self-care Guide

"She's my friend because we both know what it's like for people to be jealous of us." — Cher Horowitz, Clueless

Quite often our friends are like our family and safe the say that is the case for me. We are there for each other through thick and thin, the good the bad and the sometimes ugly. We don't tell each other what we WANT to hear but what we NEED to hear and I couldn't be more grateful. With that in mind and the universal theme of  February being love and relationships its only right that I start with the most important people in my life...and how you too can celebrate with your besties!

Self-Care activities don't always have to be face masks and prosecco (although we will come to that later on) but can be things you as a group or pair like to do together and brings you joy and happiness. 

The one thing that is quite universal is...

Friends coffee date: Now this doesn't have to be to a large coffee chain it could be somewhere local. An independent coffee shop or a library? Something more suited to your friend group. While this might not be traditional self-care, taking a break from everyday life and the worries and stresses that come with it is certainly good for the soul.  

Out for Lunch: Again this doesn't have to be a large chain but somewhere you go often, most friend groups have a usual place or two...or three that they eat at and maybe heading to your favourite and have a good old catch isn't necessarily very 'Galentines' but I'm sure given the atmosphere you will very much be having a fabulous time!

Be a local Tourist: Now you might be thinking...a what? But trust me, go around your local area and visit all the tourist attractions. Museums, Art galleries, historical sites quite often these places are free or cost very little so perfect with the current cost of living crisis. Exploring your city or a city from on of your friends group 

Pamper night in: I did say we would come back to this. Grab your besties, get some prosecco and whack on a face mask and get on a good film. Get cosy and get pampered...it is quite simple. You could even order food in or get some chocolate the combinations are endless! 

So there you have it. The ultimate self-care guide for Galentines...I hope this inspires you to have a great day and spend time with your besties
