When we think of the ideal relaxing Valentine's Day, whether single or coupled up, oftentimes the plan fo the night can involve a delightfully steamy bath. 

The obvious choice for making a bth extra special is a bath bomb from Lush – and for a night like Valentine's we would be tempted to reach fo the SexBomb bath bomb. 

However, Lush have just revealed their new Valentine's collection fo 2019 – and it's millennial perfection.

Included in the collection is a duo of bath bombs that have gotten everyone talking. 

Shaped like two very suggestive emojis, the Aubergine and Peachy are inspiring us to send some risky texts. 

The limited edition bath bombs are available online now, and will be rolling out in Lush stores from January 7th if you need to do the sniff test before purchasing.

The Aubergine boasts an uplifting scent, with bergamot, fruity ho wood and saucy litsea cubeba. 

With green, blue and purple bath swirls forming as it dissolves, it's damn pretty to watch. 

As for Peachy, the clue is on the name.  Essential notes of grapefruit, fresh peach juice and davana make for a sweet and citrusy bath scent. 

We#ll see you in the virtual queue picking up these bad boys for ourselves and the gal pals as the ideal Galentines Day gift.

So grab your nearest and dearest gal pals and settle in with some of these deliciously nostalgic and female friendship-filled flicks on February 14. And don't forget the wine. 

1. Bridesmaids

Bridesmaids is a classic girly movie with a literal laugh a minute. While it may get catty at times, the girl power in this movie is fierce. 

If you're a fan of Pitch Perfect, this one is for you. 

2. Eat Pray Love

Eat Pray Love follows the true story of a woman recovering from a tumultuous divorce as she discovers the wider world through her taste buds and her prayer beads.

If eschewing all men until "the one" makes an appearance is your game, this wanderlust of a movie will be right up your alley. 

3. The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants

This movie is a complete classic, and is as iconic for it's place on the totum pole of female friendship as the Spice Girls are.

The feel-good flick proves that the bonds of true friendship are unbreakable, so this film deserves a re-watch. 

4. Mean Girls

Another teenage classic, the clue is in the name with this one.

Watching Lindsay Lohan in her hey-day was a prerequisite for our secondary school sleepovers, so dusting off this DVD for Galentine's Day is a must. 

5. The Craft

A freaky, spooky flick, The Craft is all the 90s grunge fashion inspiration any girl could need.

A Hollywood high school movie with a twist, this is an oldie but a goodie.

6. He's Just Not That Into You

The ultimate single girls guide, He's Just Not That Into You divulges some classic secrets of the male mind. 

7. Never Been Kissed

This nostalgic film highlights the importance of your first ever kiss.

8. Obsessed

Obsessed stars Beyonce as the ultimate kick-ass woman defending her family from a psycho stalker who's out to destroy her life and steal her husband.

This film might actually be enough to put you of relationships forever, if that's what you're going for. 

9. Clueless

Image result for clueless

As classic as Mean Girls, Clueless was always a feature at our teenage sleepovers.

The hilarious quotes alone are enough reason to re-watch this 90s flick, but the complex friendships and relationships keep us hooked every time. 

10. The Bling Ring

Finally, one of Emma Watson's more grown up roles since Harry Potter, The Bling Ring follows the true story of a group of friends obsessed with the ult of Hollywood, who turn to theft to fuel their luxury obsessions.

While the crew eventually turn on one another, the dramatic film highlights the importance of sticking together, be it through a break up or, in this case, a serious crime.

If you are thoroughly lacking a signifigant other and have accepted the fact that no amount of Tinder swiping will cause you to acquire one before the big event, then it's time to gear up for Galentine's Day.

Galentines Day involves eschewing the shackles of romantic relationships and celebrating the annual day of love with your besties. 

But what to do when the restaurants are full of PDA-offending lovers and Instagram is full of pictures of Mchael Kors bags with the hashtag best boyfriend ever? 

1. The ultimate girls night out

 

A photo posted by modàfashion. (@glamxmoda) on

An obvious choice but a complete classic. 

Get your unattached ladies around for some predrinks and make some cocktail recipes you found on the internet, then paint the town red.

Everyone will be out for the shift, so if that's not your style, cackle in delight as you rebut the advances of the opposite sex. Or get the shift, you do you, girl. 

2. Have a date night with your favourite actor

Not literally unfortunately, George Clooney will probably be busy with Amal.

But settling in for the night with a handful of movies featuring your ultimate thespian crush is the next best thing.

Don't forget to stock up on popcorn, pizza and wine so you don't have to move for the night. 

3. Fifty Shades of Grey

Just like last year, the new Fifty Shades of Grey instalment is out around Valentines Day.

There is no better way to spend an evening than giggling at a rude movie with your best friends, and the experience will only be heightened by the fact that the cinema will be full of fellow females laughing at the cheesy romantic film. If BDSM can be considered romantic. 

Booking in advance is probably a good idea, as cinemas can get pretty busy on V-Day. 

4. Laugh until you cry…

…instead of just crying.

There are plenty of comedy gigs going on every night around the country, so if you and your girls need some cheering up on Galentine's, then a comedy show is a good way to get the laughs going. 

Plus it's Valentines Day, so the comedian will probably be taking the p*** out of couples and romance to please your bitter, single heart. 

5. Pamper day

 

A photo posted by L U N A (@nocomay) on

While this one is the ultimate cliche, getting a mani pedi with your best friend and then heading home to veg out wearing face masks is a pretty relaxing endeavour.

Meet up after work (V-Day lands on a Tuesday this year) for some evening treatments and then relax and reminisce on the ghosts of boyfriends past. 

After all, sometimes romance can be fleeting, but your girls are there for life.

Galentine’s Day is finally here and what better (or more obvious) way to spend it than with your best girlfriends!

What's Galentine's Day you ask? Here's the only explanation necessary, courtesy of Parks And Recreation's Leslie Knope:

Here some ideas on how you can spend the most loved-up weekend of the year with your most loved:

Afternoon tea
Is there anything more elegant and girly than macarons and triangular cucumber sandwiches? No, there isn’t! So, get your best tea dress on (elbow-length gloves are optional) and hit your best-loved afternoon tea hotspot.

Pampering session
No, you don’t have to spend lots of money just to have a girly day – chances are you have all you need on your bathroom shelf already. From homemade facials, mani/pedis to a proper tan sesh, you’re guaranteed to have someone there to get your back.

Romantic movie marathon
You know the ones you need; When Harry Met Sally, The Notebook, Casablanca and Pretty Woman. You’ll also need a major amount of popcorn, assorted confectionery, blankets and cushions.

Baking love
Make like Taylor and head to the kitchen. That’s where cookies come from, don’t cha know?! Fancy aprons are essentials as is the Power Of Love CD 1 and 2.  

Walk in the woods
Grab the dog and wrap up warm for a lovely day in the woods – or even a hike! Did you know you can get plastic prosecco glasses? Just sayin’…
