It’s National Girlfriend’s Day and don’t you think you should celebrate the female friends in your life? They’ve probably seen you through breakups, new jobs, lost jobs, fights with your mom, some terrible haircuts, and those times you almost got sucked into a cult that you just thought was a yoga group (oh, just me on that one?) We celebrate anniversaries with our romantic partners, but shouldn’t we celebrate our platonic girlfriends? They may not be our significant other but they are certainly significant. Life would feel pretty empty without them. I mean—who would you text selfies to from the store changing room to get approval on some outfits? Or disapproval (remember when they saved you from those pants you thought were chic but looked like scrubs?) Here’s to our lady friends. Here are ways to celebrate National Girlfriends Day.
Do a slideshow and wine night
Grab your besties and ask everyone to put their favorite photos of all of you on a thumb drive. Get a projector, or hook up your laptop to your big screen, and look over all of your memories together. You can each write up anecdotes, about what you remember from each photo.
