Girl Power: Last Minute Ideas to Celebrate Your Best Gals for National Girlfriends Day
1. Binge Iconic Movies Dedicated to Female Friendships
Make stovetop popcorn, pour the wine and let your friends help themselves to a fun candy bar – movie theater candy style! Include the best classic movie candies, like Sno-Caps, Milk Duds, Twizzlers, M&M’S®, and MIKE AND IKE®. Then decide on some movies to watch. Whether you like comedies, teen movies, musicals, 80s movies, or sweet and sappy dramas, this list has something for everyone and every friendship:
-Bridesmaids
-Mean Girls
-Pitch Perfect (the trilogy)
-Clueless
-The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (the original and the sequel)
-Thelma & Louise
-Beaches
-Steel Magnolias
-Sex & The City (the original and the sequel)
-Spice World
2. Indulge in a Decadent Spa Day
Because you and your girls deserve it! Get hot stone massages, deluxe manicures and pedicures, body wraps and scrubs, and hydrating and glow-inducing facials – the works! Spend the day relaxing and enjoying each other’s company – then go out to a local wine bar for some cocktails to toast to a wonderful day and amazing, life-long friendships.
3. Shop Till You Drop, Then Enjoy a Fabulous Brunch
Hit the local mall early and go store to store, leaving no shopping stone unturned, checking out the latest fashions and must-haves – everything from clothes to shoes to accessories to beauty. After you’ve worked up an appetite, head to your favorite restaurant for a huge spread of the best brunch foods – decadent French toast, warm cinnamon rolls, fresh avocado toast, super fruit smoothies, and make-your-own omelets. Spring for mimosas to make your brunch celebration extra-special.
