Here’s to Our Real Ones: The Ultimate Galentine’s Day Guide

Life as a Kenyan woman can be a lot—from juggling careers and relationships to the rising cost of skincare and the ever-chaotic Nairobi dating scene. If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that sometimes we just need a break—a chance to let loose, be ourselves, and enjoy the company of our Real Ones.

There’s something special about sisterhood—that tight-knit circle of women who uplift, inspire, and have your back no matter what. And what better time to celebrate the beauty of female friendships than on Galentine’s Day? Whether you are a brunch babe, an adventure seeker, or a homebody, here are six fun ways to make this day one to remember!

1. Brunch with the Girls

There is nothing quite like a bougie brunch with your besties at that cute café you have been eyeing. Get dressed up, enjoy good food, sip on mimosas, and take tons of pictures for the gram. Let your content-creator friend capture the moment while you soak in the good vibes. And, of course, remind each other “we need to do this more often!”

2. Girls’ Night Out

If brunch is not your thing but a night of dancing and cocktails sounds like your vibe, plan a girls’ night out! Start with a dinner date, then hit the club or lounge of your choice. You could even meet up at someone’s house to get glammed up together—because half the fun is in the pre-game!

🔥 Don’t forget: Stick together, stay safe, and let loose responsibly.

3. Cozy Girls’ Night In

For the homebodies or those on a budget, a pajama party is the perfect way to celebrate Galentine’s Day. Grab some matching PJs, order your favorite takeout, and binge-watch movies. Add in some board games, girl talk, and an impromptu intervention session (lol), and you’ve got yourself a wholesome night.

✨ Make it fun: Split responsibilities—one friend handles the drinks, another picks the movie, and someone takes charge of food!

 

4. Outdoor Adventure & Picnic

If your girl gang loves adventure and fresh air, ditch the city and head outdoors for a nature escape. Whether it’s a hiking trip to Ngong Hills, a bike ride in Karura Forest, or a zip-lining experience in Limuru, there are plenty of affordable options to bond while enjoying nature. Pack a picnic basket, find a scenic spot, and toast to friendship and fresh air.

5. Gift Exchange

You don’t need to wait for birthdays to spoil your girls! This Galentine’s, swap wish lists and surprise each other with thoughtful gifts. It doesn’t have to be expensive—just something meaningful that shows you care.

🎁 Gift Ideas:

  • That cute mouse Cindy keeps forgetting to buy
  • A journal or book for your writer friend
  • A ticket to a play for your theater-loving bestie

A small gesture goes a long way in making your Real Ones feel appreciated.
