Galentine’s Day In Lockdown
Happy Galentine’s Day Fanola babes! Galentine’s day is all about celebrating yourself and the special ladies in your life, because after all, we are amazing! It is why we love this unofficial holiday even more than Valentine’s Day.
As Carrie Bradshaw once said, “Maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates, and guys are just people to have fun with.”
Amen sister. So, that is why we aren’t letting lockdown ruin our usual Galentine’s day fun. Normally we would be attending a bottomless brunch with our favourite ladies or hitting the club. However, not to worry, all you need to do is schedule a Galentine’s zoom with your besties, and you can leave the rest to us!

Food
You can’t have a Galentine’s zoom without food, of course! Now you have two options. You can either decide on a takeaway that you all like and have a virtual pizza party, for example. Or you could all put your culinary skills the test. Why not decide on a food category such as Mexican, and then you can all make your favourite dish from that theme. If you want to make it even more fun, you could make it into a competition. For instance, you could judge each other’s dishes on their presentation, name, etc.

Alcohol
Galentine’s Day wouldn’t be complete without your favourite alcohol, of course. So pop open that prosecco, unscrew that wine, or pour yourself a gin. It’s time to celebrate! If you and your besties are feeling extra fancy, you could even try to make your favourite cocktail. Head over to Pinterest to find some tasty recipes.

Pamper Party
A day filled with self-care and pampering yourself sounds like heaven. Right? Correct. Galentine’s Day calls for a bubble bath, hair mask, and face mask. This year we are pulling out all the stops.
Treat Your Self
We don’t think there is a better way to celebrate yourself than treating yourself to something new. Whether that be a pair of shoes, you have been eyeing up for a while or a new book. Whatever that makes you happy. If you want to step up your hair care game, then check out our half-price Duo Sets.
