Ever since Leslie Knope endorsed the importance of girl time and waffles, Galentine's Day has become an increasingly popular holiday. Because, honestly, who needs boys when you have plenty of crazy, weird, hilarious, beautiful girlfriends??? The answer is nobody.

I encourage everyone to take some time this year and throw a Galentine's Day party. It's so important to show your friends in life how much they mean to you, and this is the perfect opportunity! So, for all of your Galentine's Day needs, here are a few ideas to get the party started.

1. FLOWERS. EVERYWHERE.


Personally, I think that this is the most important part of any party. Place flower arrangements on the tables, on the counters, on flower crowns...basically everywhere that you can. My favorite thing to do is tie ribbon around a mason jar, add some little roses and babies' breath, and voilà! You have a picture-perfect arrangement.

2. Personalized place cards.


A personal touch is sure to WOW your girlfriends. Super simple, but super cute!!!

3. Photo Booth.


Yes, this is essential. Document your friends lookin' super fresh. Add a cute backdrop and props if you're feeling crafty!

4. Heart garland.

A heart-shaped garland is the perfect decoration to spice up your Galentine's Day. Not only do they serve as a festive touch, but they're extremely easy to DIY as well!

5. Balloons, duh!

Balloons are great, because after you're done admiring them, you can suck out all of the helium and talk like The Chipmunks.

6. Chalkboard signs.

Chalkboards can double as decorations and photo booth props! Make a sign with pretty handwriting, and your guests will love it.

7. FOOD!!! Lots of it.

This is where you should go absolutely crazy. Make heart-shaped EVERYTHING! There are tons of delicious recipes on Pinterest that are sure to inspire your chef side.

8. CHAMPAGNE!!! Lots of it.

Does this really need an explanation?

9. Eat tons and tons and tons of chocolate.

Because you deserve it.

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

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.
