February is upon us and we all know what that means: candy, chocolates, pink hearts and bunches of red roses with happy, perfect couples everywhere.

Now, I have nothing against having a day to celebrate love (call me a romantic), but I have to say, being single can be especially hard on Valentine's Day. I personally have spent my fair share of only getting cards from my family (thanks mom and dad). But Valentine's doesn't have to be an unhappy holiday for single people anymore!

The great thing about a holiday dedicated to love means that any type of love can be celebrated. That includes the love of friends and family. So, after asking around, me and my single ladies came up with some super fun ways to celebrate Valentine's day without the "lovey dovey couple stuff involved."


"My friends and I have always had a waffle bar, laid roses around the room, and watched horror movies with sparkling grape juice for Galentines, and then buy cheap chocolate on February 15."


"One year my friends and I made homemade pizzas and had a High School Musical marathon... Fave Valentine's Ever!!!"


"Me and my friends would all find recipes from Pinterest and make a bunch of yummy desserts together before we have a Disney movie marathon in our pajamas! Most comfortable, hassle-free Valentine's I've ever had!"


"The best way to spend Valentine's day is to go to a Humane Society and spread some love to the puppies and kittens. That will give you the most fun and cutest Galentine's plan evah!"


"All my single friends and I would dedicate the holiday to ourselves and have a relaxing Spa/Treat Yo' Self Day. It is always very much needed and a great way to catch up and spend time with the greatest people you know."


I hope that these Galentine's Day memories will help you come up with some great ideas on your own that you and your group of gals can do! And remember: you don't have to be in a relationship to enjoy the cheap chocolate that Valentine's Day provides!

XOXO

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.
