5 Ways To Celebrate Galentine's Day

Are you bummed about being single this February 14th? Don't be since February 13th is known as Galentine's Day! If you're new to Galentine's Day don't fret, here are 5 ways how to have the best Galentine's Day Ever.


Have A Girl’s Night

Sound the alarms and get all your girlfriends together, the more the merrier! Wear something that makes you feel confident & sexy, and make sure your makeup is on point! Your girls notice what you’re wearing more than anyone else ever will, so dress up for yourself and to impress them! Make plans with your girlfriends to either host a Galentine's Day party at your place or have a night out on the town!

Have Chocolate Amenities

I’m pretty sure it’s against the law to not eat chocolate during the Valentine's Day season, so don’t be the only person who doesn’t have some! Chocolate calories don't count on Galentine's Day. Get some of your favorite candy, or go out and try a new delicious chocolaty dessert!


Watch Something Funny

How To Be Single is making its debut February 12th, and this would be the perfect comedy to go see with your girlfriends. Whether you binge watch your favorite tv shows on Netflix, or watch a classic like Mean Girls, Bridesmaids or Trainwreck, make sure you watch something funny with your girlfriends! Crying is not allowed on Galentine's Day, unless it's from laughter!

Treat Yo Self!

If everyone else is getting showered with love on February 14th, why shouldn’t you shower yourself with some love on Galentine's Day? “Treat yo self” originated from the amazing Amy Poehler on her show Parks And Recreation. "Treat yo self" is the idea that you indulge in whatever your heart desires; shopping splurge, delicious guilty foods, or a mani/pedi spa day...TREAT YO SELF!

Don’t Talk About Exes

Chicks before d*cks! Galentine’s Day is all about appreciating your girlfriends, so don’t waste a single second talking about your exes! Instead of reminiscing about old relationships and what went wrong, reminisce with your girlfriends about all your funny adventures and memories you have with them! At the end of the day, your girlfriends are the only ones who will let you know you when your outfit doesn’t look right, tell you when you’re acting like a crazy person, and be there for you if you just need to ugly cry.

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.

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.
