Let’s Raise a Toast to Our Real Ones: A Galentine’s Day Guide

by Daily Trends February 12, 2025

written by Daily Trends

Like every Kenyan girl lately, we are going through a lot. Between adulting, costly skin care prices and the Nairobi dating scene, we can all agree we need an escape, somewhere we can let our hair down, or take our wigs off and just relax. And there’s no safer space than with our girls.

There’s something about having a dependable community of girlfriends, another woman (or more) who despite your varied backgrounds, you have forged a closeknit relationship that allows you to be yourself. A sisterhood that supports, affirms, inspires and has your back.

We draw so much from our female friendships and bonds, which is why we need to replenish them constantly, and what better time to do that than on Galentine’s day.

So here’s a list of fun ways to celebrate your Real Ones on this special day:

Brunch Date
Treat yourselves to a delicious brunch at that cute cafe that you’ve all been eyeing. Y’all work too hard to not take a moment to enjoy the perks. So dress up and show up to that date. And while you’re at it take lots of photos for the gram and let your content creator friend take videos for her followers. Soak in the finery and remind each other that “we need to do this more often.”
Girls Night Out
If y’all are not brunch people but like to turn up, you could get together for a girls’ night. Start off with dinner then head out for the party. Or you could all meet up at one of your places to get all dressed up, help each other out with your make up and head out together. Remember to have fun and stay safe while you’re at it.
Girls Night In
Girlies on a budget? Or just homebodies, no worries, you can stay indoors and still have fun with a pajama party. Agree on a host, and you can go full on with the matching pajamas or not. Create a list of fun things to do to make it a memorable one.
If you’re anything like my crew, you’ll split the duties amongst yourselves, have someone(s) on dinner duty (or order takeout), have another pick out a movie, and another on the drinks, or you could do everything together.
You can enjoy the rest of the night playing board games, having girl talk, or your sleepover could double up as an intervention for whoever needs it, lol.
Connect with Nature
Another one for the outdoor girlies. You can enjoy a quick escape from the city at Karura Forest, Ngong Hills or any other nature trail within or around the city. These places offer pocket-friendly outdoor activities such as hiking, bike riding, zip lining etc. that allow you to bond with your girls and nature at the same time. You can put together a picnic basket and find a spot for you and your girls to just chill and enjoy the scenery.
Gifting
You don’t have to wait for birthdays to get your girl a gift, you could swap wish lists and gifts for Galentine’s.
And because it’s your girls you know they don’t expect you to break the bank (we’re barely out of Njaanuary). It could be that mouse Cindy is always mentioning but forgetting to buy for her computer, or a ticket to a play you know Marion would love. A thoughtful gesture that tells them you love and value your friendship.
Tusker Cider Galentine’s Celebration
If you and your girls are looking for something extra special to do this Galentine’s, Tusker Cider has a host of fun activities lined up for you and your girls including offers and surprise treats with every purchase of their crisp refreshing cider available in select stores and on ke.thebar.com. *T’s & C’s apply

Valentine’s Day, or is it Men’s Conference? Yes! February 14 is just around the corner, and you all know it is Valentine’s Day.

But what is it all about? Love is one of the most precious things to have in life. Love is epidemic, delightful and hurts at times.

Different people consider celebrating this day in different ways.some choose to give their loved ones flowers, jewelries ,chocolates,cards with strong and appealing love messages, romantic dates and many other things associated with love.

Expression of love is unique to every individual.

The history of Valentine’s Day–and the story of its patron saint–is shrouded in mystery.

We do know that February has long been celebrated as a month of romance, and that St. Valentine’s Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition.

But who was Saint Valentine, and how did he become associated with this ancient rite?

The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.

One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men.

Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret.

When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. Still others insist that it was Saint Valentine of Terni, a bishop, who was the true namesake of the holiday. He, too, was beheaded by Claudius II outside Rome.

Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons, where they were often beaten and tortured.

According to one legend, an imprisoned Valentine actually sent the first “valentine” greeting himself after he fell in love with a young girl–possibly his jailor’s daughter–who visited him during his confinement.

Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter signed “From your Valentine,” an expression that is still in use today.

The nature of Valentine’s varies from one lover to the other. Valentine’s day is a good day for lovers to spend time together.

Someone’s Company is very important for lovers. How will you spend your Valentine’s day ?

It is during this festival that people send love messages to their loved ones to express their feelings towards them.

Some even send video or audio clips with love content .it is also a nice day for one to propose to their loved ones. Whether young or old ,the joy of celebrating love is all the same.

During this day,people dress presentably and romantically to please their loved ones.

The red Color commonly used during this festival is believed to be a symbol love.

Most classic hotels and pubs are normally booked during this festival.

These days Valentine’s day has been extended to parents , close friends,siblings or anyone close .

You will find these days people want to spend Valentine’s day with their parents maybe after not having seen them for some time.

Different people have a different understanding of Valentine’s day. Some see it as day sharing love ,some see it as day for prosperity in their businesses as people will tend to buy so many gifts and items during this day.
