February 13th is coming just around the corner. During this season, you may be thinking about that special someone and the perfect gift to get them. However, on February 13th, we set aside romance and think about the women in our lives and ways to show our appreciation for them.

You may be thinking, what is the world is Galentine's day? Well, you can thank episode sixteen of season two of Parks and Recreation. This is the episode where Leslie gathers all of her gal pals to lunch and celebrates each of them. It's a day for ladies to celebrate ladies.

In a time where there is so much division in politics regarding women whether it be reproductive rights, equal pay, the #MeToo movement, and so on, Galentine's day is needed more than ever. It's a time to look at the ladies in your life and appreciate them for who they are, just like Valentine's day, but platonic.

Never celebrated Galentine's day or just don't know what to get your friends? Fret not! Below you will find a list of 13 ideas for you to show your friends how much you appreciate them in your life.

1. Personalized note.

What better way to show your friends how much you care than by actually taking the time to write down reasons why you do? You know your friend the best. You know if this means a long drawn out letter or just a funny post-it note. Either option will show your friends some love this Galentine's day through words of affirmation.

2. Face masks.

3. Painted wooden pannel.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day.
