Get your Galentine’s Day on with these gorgeous at-home spa treatments!
We love a romantic Valentine's Day date, but let's be real…it's all about Galentine's Day.
Celebrated February 13th, Galentine's Day has it's origins in the 'Parks and Recreation' sitcom, where enthusiastic Leslie Knope organises a Valentine's Day brunch on February 13th for all her female friends to celebrate their friendships and womanhood.
Born of a truly hilarious scene, the tradition captured the imaginations of women everywhere, and so Galentine's Day was born. Some gals celebrate it with brunch, some with a night out, but our absolute favourite way to spend our Galentines is with a spa night in with plenty of rosé and lots of chats!
The perfect chance for not only a little pampering and self-care, but also to catch up, talk shite and really reconnect with your girl gang. Make the time this Galentines to hit up your crew and host a cosy night in together full of laughs and selfcare with these stunning and luxurious little treatments!
