Galentine’s Day Celebrations
As some individuals are counting down the days for the upcoming mushy, gushy holiday, others are feeling like their relationship status, or lack thereof, is being plastered on their forehead. So for all the “single,” “it’s complicated,” “exclusive but not dating,” and “exclusively going on dates but still not calling it dating” women out there, don’t fret. There’s a way to celebrate that is way less nauseating: Galentine’s Day! For those who do not know the origin of Galentine’s Day, it was coined by leading lady Leslie Knope on “Parks and Recreation,” and she explained that it is a day for “women celebrating women.”
Romantic relationships are great or whatever, but let’s continue her Galentine’s Day movement by celebrating the relationships she is talking about. The ones who do not come with candies and flowers, but the ones with the girls that keep you sane.
So grab your gals and enjoy a night on the town as you celebrate the friendships that have outlasted and gotten you through the psycho ex-boyfriends (or -girlfriends), poor wardrobe choices, horrible jobs, bad jokes, questionable dance moves and moments of utter embarrassment. The ones who have been there through the ugly and the sad and still would have a #WCW Instagram post dedicated to you and to your accomplishments.
Here are a couple ideas for you and your babes:
Top Golf
With dreamy golf pros still on the brain from last week’s Open, keep the theme going by sippin’ and swingin’ your day away at Top Golf. With a fabulous assortment of shareable cuisine selections, yummy cocktails, and a little friendly competition, Topgolf is the perfect Galentine’s Day destination to share laughs and make memories.

Sleepover at the Biltmore
Splurge a little this Galentine’s Day and book a staycation with you and your besties as you treat yourselves to the luxurious amenities of a resort while also enjoying the playful innocence of a good old-fashioned sleepover. And if you are going to splurge, you might as well do it right at the five-star, world-renowned Arizona Biltmore, A Waldorf Astoria Resort, right in the middle of Phoenix. With the delicious menus of the restaurants on site, a beautiful pool area and a state-of-the-art spa, you and your friends won’t ever want to leave. Another perk this hotel offers is that they are beginning their Valentine’s Day specials early, so use that to your advantage and book a cabana by the pool for a fraction of the price!
