Galentine's Day. The day you gather your girlfriends together to hangout on one of the most celebrated days out of the year...Valentine's Day aka Single Awareness Day!

No matter whether you're single, in a "it's complicated" relationship, or happily attached, setting aside time to celebrate love is always wonderful. Okay so maybe I don't need a special day to watch romance movies but why not take advantage of my singlehood and grab my girls to enjoy a night to ourselves. Since there are a vast amount of movies to go through, I made it a bit easier by breaking them up into categories. Happy Galentine's Day to all my single ladies out there!

If you're in the mood for... Romantic Comedy

1. Bridget Jones Diary

A quirky, hilarious spoof of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Plus there's Colin Firth playing Darcy again!

2. Return to Me

Such a classic in our household. I mean when you quote half of the movie lines within your everyday conversation than it must be memorable.

3. Crazy, Stupid, Love

The pairing up of Ryan Gosling & Emma Stone was genius. Absolute HILARIOUS film that brings out the comedic chops of the great Steve Carrell.

If you're in the mood for... Classic 90's Romance

4. While You Were Sleeping

While I prefer the other Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan pairing more, this movie is a 90's classic that I just couldn't leave out.

5. You've Got Mail

Probably my #1 romantic movie of life. Every Valentine's Day this movie is on my list of must watch.

6. My Best Friend's Wedding

Julia Roberts was in her prime during the 90's and this is just one of my other classic romance films by her.

7. The Wedding Singer

Hands down one of Adam Sandler's best movies. He's not the most attractive lead but will charm your socks off with "I Wanna Grow Old With You."

If you're in the mood for...Period Romance

8. Pride and Prejudice

Gahhh I just LOVE Jane Austen and the movies credited from her masterpiece of novels are almost as good as the books.

9. Far From The Maddening Crowd

Such a lovely romantic film. I never get tired of watching it. If you're in the mood for something classy, simple, and downright gorgeous scenery, watch this gem.

10. The Young Victoria

The type of movie you get so wrapped up in you forget the inevitable ending to it. Based on the epic love story of Queen Victoria and Albert.

If you're in the mood for...Fantasy Romance

11. The Age of Adaline

Sure it might be Blake Lively playing Serena van der Woodsen in a fantasy romance movie but the movie is actually quite beautiful tinged with slight bittersweetness.

12. The Princess Bride

First saw this movie when I was a child and it still brings a smile to my face. Such a classic fantasy romance but the characters and storyline just make it cuter.

13. Kate & Leopold

Hugh Jackman dressed up in 19th century clothing in a era where they still had actual formal dances. Be still my heart.

If you're in the mood for...Teenage Romance

14. A Walk to Remember

It'll make you laugh, cry, and scream at the screen but this movie is such a dream.

15. 10 Things I Hate About You

2 words: HEATH LEDGER.

16. Clueless

What you thought I would forget about this classic film? As IF?

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
