The thing about the cold is that there are no scars to remind us of the things we’ve endured. That’s why, more often than

Valentine's Day can be fun!...if you have a significant other to spend it with. Being surrounded by couples does not make it any better either, but thankfully, Galentine's Day is a day before and one hundred times better!  Thanks to Leslie Knope and her desperate need for love on Valentine's Day, we now have Galentine's Day! This is a day dedicated to kicking it with your girl friends and appreciating the most important people in your life before the boyfriends and husbands. This has turned me from a Valentine hater to a Galentine lover! You get to spend a whole day with the better halves of  all  relationships and it helps remind those "drowning in love," that their friends come first and are willing to save them if need be.
