Brunch and Bubbly at Home
Nothing says Galentine’s like a gorgeous brunch spread right in your luxury apartment. Set the table with fresh flowers, soft linens, and gold-rimmed glassware to create a stylish setup. Try a DIY mimosa bar with fresh juices, berries, and a touch of edible glitter for sparkle. Pair it with heart-shaped waffles, avocado toast, and sweet treats like chocolate-dipped strawberries.

Girls’ Night In: Spa & Movie Marathon
Transform your apartment into a chic, relaxing retreat for the ultimate girls’ night in. Set up a DIY spa station with plush robes, sheet masks, and lavender-infused foot soaks. Light a few candles and play some soft music for a cozy ambiance.
Follow it up with a movie night in the theater room, featuring classic rom-coms or your favorite binge-worthy series. Pop some gourmet popcorn—think white chocolate drizzle or truffle parmesan—and sip on homemade pink hot cocoa for a sweet touch.
