The Importance of Galentine's Day
In case you didn’t know, this Thursday, February 13th, is Galentine’s Day! While Valentine’s Day is traditionally meant for romantic partners, the day prior is now reserved for another very important love in your life, the love of the women in your life! Why is it so great? See below.
You can celebrate literally any woman in your life.
You would probably reserve this day for your girl friends, but don’t forget about the others! Your mom, grandma, aunt, daughter, cousin, classmates, co-workers, neighbors, customers, clients, whoever! Be sure to send some love and you will likely get it right back at ya.
Friendship is good for your mental health - celebrate it!
For real! Just when you thought friends couldn’t get any better, it appears as though that bond between you and a friend is linked to a longer lifespan (check out Blue Zone studies!), lower blood pressure, and a sharp brain!
If your love language is gift giving, Galentine’s Day is the PERFECT time to set up a little girl’s night out and/or gift exchange.
Not like you need an excuse to see the loved ones in your life, but gifting your gals is always fun! What’s more fun than spreading some holiday cheer than with some vibrators?? At Voodoo we have our Limited Edition Treat Yourself Gift Box that’s sure to please all of your gal pals. This shows love not only for your girlfriends, but also their mental health and physical health.
Women need support and uplifting!
Not that this is new news, but it’s tough to be a woman! While our marches are wonderful and so important, it’s also important to have some fun and a mini break from the cat-calling, sexism, misogyny, under paying jobs, government control, etc... Wake up on the 14th with some more energy to fight the patriarchy coming off of a estrogen high from your fun Galentine’s Day! Reserve the 13th for some light-hearted girl time. Your mind, body, and soul with thank you.
Happy Galentine’s Day! We love you!
