Last week I posted about essentials for a night in with the guy, and while I love my bf and celebrating Valentine’s Day together (we met right around Vday two years ago), I love a good Galentine’s Day, too. For the past few years I’ve had all of the best girls I know in Chicago over to my house to celebrate, so I thought I’d share some ingredients to a great night together.
1) Sure, Love Actually is traditionally a Christmas movie, but there’s still snow outside and I’ll take any excuse to “awwww” at the “To Me, You Are Perfect” moment.
2) Even if you’re just staying in, you should still allow yourself a new pair of cute shoes. These playful and pink pointed flats from Express just embody Galentine’s Day.
3) Before you settle in for the movie, add a cookie decorating portion to the party with heart cookie cutters.
4) Stock your bar for your gals with these Valentine’s Day-themed straws.
5) Whether you’re going out or cozying up on the couch, a little daquiri never hurt anyone, right?
Have a happy Galentine’s Day.
