Who says Valentine's Day has to be strictly reserved for happy couples? In today's forward-thinking society, there's less pressure to be in a relationship, create the “perfect” life with somebody or rush to put a ring on it. Instead, women are owning their independence and embracing their female friendships first; And nobody knows this better than the girls of ‘Sex and the City.' Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha go through all the ups and downs of dating (in endless re-runs and two feature-length films) so that we don’t have to. They’ve taught us about everything from love and heartbreak to how to rock a sequin tube top and find your signature drink at the club (a cosmopolitan, obviously). More importantly, SATC shows us that our friendships will be there for us through it all, always.
This month, show your girls the love they deserve by looking to the original #squadgoals for inspiration.
1. They answer life's toughest questions
