First made popular by the NBC show Parks and Recreation 15 years ago, Galentine’s Day has become an unofficial celebration of sorts. Every February 13, women and girls are encouraged to celebrate female friendships. Here are some ideas to spend your Galentine’s Day in D.C. this year.

Grab your best friend and head to GLO30’s Wharf or National Landing locations for “La Vie en Rose FreshGLO,” a facial that includes rose and Belgian cacao. GLO30’s Parisian-inspired décor are the perfect romantic, seasonally appropriate decorations too. During the month of February, if a friend/loved one becomes a GLO30 member, they will receive $50 off their first treatment and you will get $50 in “glow points” to spend at the studio. Through February.
