Happy February! The month we all either adore or dread for one specific reason, Valentine’s Day. It’s either an excuse to go on a special date with your significant other or a humbling reminder that you’re very…very single. However, there’s no rule ever that states who you have to celebrate with…just that you celebrate love! And because of that, I think it is the perfect excuse to grab your girlfriends and celebrate Galentine’s! Here is the essential guide to celebrating Galentine’s Day in South Jersey with your gal pals all month long!
