Today is National Girlfriend's Day, an annual event celebrated every August. Created in 2006 by Allie Savarino Kline and Sally Rodgers, it is often mistaken for a day celebrating romantic female partners.
However, unlike National Boyfriend's Day, National Girlfriend's Day is about women supporting women.
It celebrates the special bond of friendship between girls, whether they are sisters, mothers, classmates, or co-workers.
Here are some delightful ways to celebrate National Girlfriend Day with your gal pals:
Girls’ Night In: Host a cozy night at home with your besties. Watch your favorite movies, play board games, and indulge in homemade snacks. Don’t forget the face masks and comfy PJs!
Spa Day: Treat yourselves to a spa day. Visit a local spa or create your own DIY spa experience at home with facials, massages, and manicures. Relax and rejuvenate together.
Cooking or Baking Party: Gather in the kitchen and cook up a storm. Try out new recipes, bake cookies, or even have a friendly cooking competition. The best part? Enjoying the delicious results!
Outdoor Adventure: If you’re an adventurous bunch, plan a day outdoors. Go hiking, have a picnic in the park, or explore a nearby nature reserve for fresh air and good company.
Memory Lane: Reminisce about your friendship journey. Look through old photos, share stories, and laugh about the good times. Create a scrapbook or write heartfelt letters to each other.
Craft Night: Set up a crafting station with supplies for painting, knitting, or making friendship bracelets. You’ll bond over your artistic endeavors.
Wine Tasting: Visit a local winery or organize a wine tasting at home. Pair wines with cheese and chocolates, and enjoy each other’s company.
Karaoke Night: Belt out your favorite tunes together. Whether you’re pitch-perfect or hilariously off-key, it’s all about having fun.
Random Acts of Kindness: Spread love by performing random acts of kindness. Pay for someone’s coffee, leave uplifting notes around town, or volunteer together.
Plan a Future Adventure: Discuss travel destinations you’d like to explore together. Research flights, accommodations, and create a bucket list.
