If you’re still looking for some Valentine’s Day plans to make with your besties, the perfect Galentine’s Day awaits you!
Step 1: Coffee date ☕️
Start your day with a coffee date at a local coffee shop! I have plenty of favorite coffee shops in Columbus, some of them being Stauf’s on Neil Avenue, Freedom a la Cart and Parable Coffee for their iced lavender hibiscus matcha. I’d also recommend visiting Gata Mágica for their dirty chai that is *chef’s kiss*, Fox in the Snow for their to-die-for pastries and Dada Matcha for their life-changing iced strawberry matcha latte.
Step 2: Make flower bouquets at home!💐
Alexa, play “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus 🎶 Who doesn’t like to have flowers on Valentine’s Day? Pro tip: Trader Joe’s has a wonderful selection of flowers! I like buying three to four different types of flowers and making my own floral arrangements. Plus, it’s only $12 to $20 to make three to five small bouquets!
Step 3: Put together a tasty charcuterie board🍯🧀
We all know the girlies LOVE a tasty charcuterie board, and making a charcuterie board with your friends is an experience like no other! Combining food materials from Trader Joe’s and Aldi makes for the ultimate, budget-friendly grazing board for you and your friends on this fun night.
Step 4: Paint and Sip 🎨
Everyone loves a good craft and fun beverage! All you need is Pinterest, paper, a paintbrush and some paint to get the creativity flowing. Queue some of your favorite tunes and pour your favorite beveragino into a fun glass; I personally love the strawberry vanilla Olipop.🍓 Bring out your inner artist and paint away!
Step 5: Grab a sweet treat 🍪
What’s a good night without a sweet treat? We all know it hasn’t truly been a girls’ night until the indulgence of sweet treats has occurred! For me, making cookies at home is my favorite thing ever; they smell great and taste even better!
Step 6: wrap up the night with a girls’ movie 🎥🩷
Whether it’s Barbie, your favorite Rom-Com, or a Nicholas Sparks film, we love to kick back and take a break from reality with a good flick!
This is your sign to put Galentine’s Day on your calendar and celebrate girlhood with your besties!
