While Ryan from The Office knows this is, perhaps, the worst night of the year to hook up with someone new, it just so happens to be one of the best calendar days to celebrate love with your besties.Given that Galentine’s Day was invented by Leslie Knope… It seems only fitting that her brilliant quotes make an appearance. Really, is there anyone better to help celebrate your lady friends? [From PeachyApricot on Etsy] Notorious RBG Tee One of the many wonderful things about celebrating Galentine's Day is the opportunity it gives us to lift each other up. Think of this day as one giant wave of YOU GO GIRL and channel that kind of energy into your Galentine's Day card. You can do this by complimenting something about your gal pals. Think of specific examples in each of their lives where they've shined and lift them up by pointing them out. You can also point to a quality or example of an action in their lives that doesn't get enough praise. If you want to take Miss Knope's lead, you can go hard on the compliments by compounding them one on top of the other ("beautiful, naive, sophisticated, newborn baby" for example) or do something that's more aligned with your own way of complimenting. However it is you choose to lift up your gals, be specific, sincere, and personal to each one of them. A little love day humour perfect for the gal who loves a good glass of wine.
