It’s Valentine’s week and its been a fun week of flowers, food, family and friends. I’ve been celebrating Valentine’s Day in many ways by planning a special dinner with the twins for V-Day with the family; I’ve also been meeting with friends over tea and brunch, while delivering flowers to others.

Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the unique love and bond that exists not only with family but with friends as well 💕.  It’s with this sentiment that my friends Joji and Rose hosted a Galentine’s brunch for their girlfriends. Think Valentine’s Day celebration with girlfriends.

Celebrating Galentine’s Day

There is a special bond that girlfriends have, maybe its because we’ve known them for a long time or maybe because we bond over similar interests, and though we may not see each other often, the conversations are always heartfelt and genuine. It’s this pleasant escape from our daily routine that friends give each other that we celebrate on Galentine’s Day.  Here is a look at a few pics from our Galentine’s Brunch at our friend Joji’s home.

Friends, conversation and laughter 😃🍸😘
