It's that time of the year again. No not Valentine's day, Galentine's day also known as the best day of the year! Valentine's day is great and all, I'm not dissing it by celebrating Galentine's day, but I'm more excited to embrace my independence and the cool as cucumbers' women in my life. Female empowerment is more important now than ever and what better way to do that than to celebrate your lady friends? Here are six fun things to do with your gals on Galentine's day:

1. Go on a shopping spree

Treat yo self 2017! Go out to Target, Ulta, Forever 21, Sephora or whatever store is your vice and go crazy, you deserve it.

2. Go out to a movie

Just grab some popcorn and sneak in some reasonably priced candy from Walgreen's and you're all set! Besides, what better way to spend Galentine's day than seeing Christian Grey's butt on the big screen? Or being scarred for life after seeing The Ring or Split?! It's up to you! Either way, you and your gals will have a blast.

3. Get some grub

Go out and eat all of your favorite things! You are all awesome and deserve as many fries as you want. Don't forget to have some waffles with those fries. It wouldn't be Galentine's day without Leslie Knope's favorite food. It's your day, go nuts!

4. Play some games

Have some good old-fashioned fun and play some Monopoly, Twister, Clue or whatever board game you can find in your closet. Don't have any board games? Play some charades! There's little chance of you and your gals getting bored playing these games!

5. Binge watch your favorite shows

Put on your comfiest PJ's and pick a show to binge-watch with your girlfriends. See how long you can go before Netflix asks you if you're still okay, you might surprise yourself! Go for the gold, see how many seasons of a show you can watch in one day. Get some Ben & Jerry's and some takeout to up your binge watching game.

6. Praise each other

Spend the day reminding each other that you are all fierce, amazing people! Happy Galentine's day!
