Where My Girls At? Be Mine, Galentine!
Galentine’s Day has officially become a “thing.” And, it is one of our favorite times of the year. In case you haven’t heard, Galentine’s Day is the unofficial (but totally official) celebration of friendship, and an awesome excuse to show your tribe just how much they mean to you. In case you need a little background, Galentine’s Day is celebrated the day before Valentine’s Day and took off in popularity after the idea was featured on an episode of Parks and Recreation.
We have hosted our fair share of Galentine’s Day events over the past few years. From game nights, to hikes, we enjoyed getting all of our best girls together to chill, chat and have a good ki-ki with each other. There is truly no limit to how big or small you can go. Need some thought starters? Here are some fun ideas, Fit with Finesse style!
A throwback to Galentine’s Day 2016. We led our friends on a hike through our favorite trail, Solstice Canyon in Malibu, then we headed out to brunch for some mimosas.
Hike & Picnic:
Hiking is one of our favorite past times. This activity makes for a great Galentine’s because taking long walks on the trail provides lots of time to catch up and laugh with your favorite girls. Want to make the most out of your rest breaks? Download a Fit with Finesse playlist, pack a small speaker, and turn your hike into a party. I mean who doesn’t love a good twerk session? Cue: Money by Cardi B.
Dance the Day Away
Speaking of dancing, it’s Black History Month, so why not do it for the culture one good time by taking an African Dance, Soca, or any other class with live drums. Throw caution into the wind with your tribe and have a fun, carefree class that is sure to lift your spirits.
Punch & Brunch
If you are anything like us, there is something oh so therapeutic about hitting the bags. Grab your girls and sign up for a boxing class. Not only will you get a fantastic workout, but you can also relax, relate, and release at your favorite brunch spots!
Primp and Prep
Does your crew love to get in the kitchen? Set up a meal prep party. Have everyone bring their favorite healthy recipes, or open up your kitchen, and plan to set yourselves up for a week full of healthy meals and snacks.
Walk on the Wild Side
If your crew lives for the thrill of life, celebrate that. Find your local rock climbing gym, obstacle course, paintball field, and throw caution to the wind for an afternoon. You’ll burn some calories, rev up everyone’s competitive spirit and let go of some steam together.
Keep it Cute
There is one Galentine’s Day idea that we had, but never had a chance to execute. So, we are sharing it with you. If your circle is small, or you’d rather not break a sweat during the occasion, take a drive! We’ve always wanted to grab our best girls, rent a convertible and take a long drive down California’s PCH.
