If you're like me, and have watched every season of "Parks and Recreation" (or just look around on the Internet before Valentine's Day), you've surely heard of a new type of holiday: Galentine's Day, one day out of the year to celebrate how amazing you and your best friend(s) are, and you make no excuses. You have to treat yo'self.

Now whether you're a sure believer of the phenomenon, or a skeptic of why everything has to have a weird hybrid holiday name, just hear me out for a second.

First of all, Galentine's Day is awesome. It's one day of the year solely dedicated to you and your absolute best friends on the planet, celebrating what awesome, completely badass ladies you are.

Second, if you celebrate it in a belated fashion, there are so many upsides.

For starters, Valentine's Day candy is already on sale. So, you can stock up, grab some mud masks and head over to your best friend's house for some spa treatments, junk-food overload and a 10 hour marathon of watching "The Office."

In the midst of all of this, you can order Chinese food (or pizza, whatever you're feeling that evening) and can proceed to vent about life and discuss your equal levels of awesomeness.

Then, you can pass around your Galentine's Day cards and absolutely revel in your belated day of ladies celebrating ladies.

Isn't that awesome?

I'm fully an advocate for celebrating Galentine's Day, belated or not.

So get out there ladies, and tell your Galentines how amazing they are!
