Galentine’s Day
BY LUCY STOFER REPORTER
What’s Galentine’s Day? Oh, it’s only the best day of the year, according to NBC’s Parks and Recreation character Leslie Knope played by Amy Poehler. Galentine’s Day is a holiday created by Knope, celebrated on Feb. 13. The holiday was introduced in Season two in an episode titled “Galentine’s Day.”
In the show it is celebrated as a day when you go out with your girlfriends, celebrate each other and forget about the guys in your life whether you have one or not. Le Journal is celebrating Galentine’s day this year and we are here to give you ideas of what to do with your gals on the best day of the year.
“Why would anybody ever eat anything besides breakfast food?”
Do the classic Galentine’s day tradition and go to brunch with your best gals to catch up and celebrate. Try out a new restaurant and go to Succotash near Crown Center for a hearty American eat with a fun, quirky vibe. Meals range from $3-$10.
“Uteruses before duderuses.”
Make homemade masks, paint each others nails, and take some much needed you- time. Try out a fun new nail polish color from Essie for $8.50.
