February 13th is National Galentine’s Day! Ok, ok…not officially, but UNOFFICIALLY,  Galentine’s Day is celebrated on February 13th, the day before Valentine’s Day. 

February is the month of love and Galentine’s Day fits right in! We shower our significant others with gifts and cards on the 14th, but 24 hours earlier is all about our equally important relationships: our girlfriends! Galentine’s Day brings together the ladies in our lives we love and lean on the most - our ride or die BFF’s (you know who you are…)

You may recall that last year’s Beauty Beat focussed on self-care. Well, we’ve made the executive decision that hanging with your besties is the best self-care there is! 

We were actually inspired to write a Galentine’s Day Beauty Beat when two best friends recently booked a facial day together at our b.LUXE studio. Estheticians, Colleen and Monique took such great care to pamper and beautify these two lovelies, the smiles on their faces said it all. They’d thoroughly enjoyed a day of self-care made all the more amazing by doing it together.  

This holiday is the perfect opportunity to indulge in the YOU-time you need with the people who always have your back, the people who keep you laughing and who never let you down. Whether you’re single or in a relationship, the best things in life are better with friends, and isn’t that worth celebrating?

As much as we’d love to, not all of us are in the position to book a crazy girls trip to Paris (sorry SJP) or even a weekend away, but there are many fun and unique ways to celebrate your friendship that, with a little planning, can be almost as fabulous as Paris! 

Here are a few ideas for you and your queens to kick up your heels and celebrate! 

• Mimosas and pancakes - Have all the toppings and break out the crystal!

• Slumber party - Tell the gents they need to scoot and queue up your favorite films.

• Plan the perfect hike - Map out a new and exciting route and pack a lunch of your favorite munchies to snack at the summit.

• Zoom Happy Hour - No time to go out?  Put the kids to bed and dial in!

• Friends Facial Day - Well, of course this is a b.LUXE favorite!! Our spa loves when friends book together!  Facials are so great, why not bring a friend?? Tandem facials are a double shot of fun and leave you feeling like you’re taking care of yourself, as well as your bestie!
