Movies that are perfect for a Galentine’s night in.
There’s nothing quite like a movie night with your besties, and this is exactly how me and mine will be spending this Galentine’s season.
Valentine’s day is nearly here but this year we’re not stressing about dates, instead we’re taking a different approach and celebrating the friendships in our life, yep that’s right, it’s all about Galentine’s.
So, grab your girls, your favourite bottle of wine, order your favourite pizza and settle in to celebrate Galentine’s day in style with one of our favourite movies, coincidentally (I think not), all about female friendships!

Stand out moment: Aqua turning the blue top into a dress, all I’ve ever wanted in life is to be able to do that!
I know it says stand out moment, but I only think it’s fair this movie gets another, after all the starfish earrings can’t go unmentioned.
