By Felicia Czochanski Bisaro<\/em> \"Picture With Pretty in Pink on the screen, a handful of conversation hearts and your favorite drinks on the table, you\u2019ve set the scene for a cozy Galentine\u2019s night in with your best friends. Celebrating your love and appreciation for all things girly and the great friendships in your life is the perfect way to mark the festive February holiday. But what happens when Galentine\u2019s Day is over, and it\u2019s back to regular life? What if there was something you could create during your Galentine\u2019s Day celebration that you could take with you into the rest of the month? When I think about some of the friendships in my life that I\u2019m most grateful for, it\u2019s the women who really get me and the things I love \u2014 like writing, thrifting and baking sweet treats for the special people in my life. Some of these friends live nearby, but some are a plane ride away. Which means, whenever we are all together, it\u2019s really special and something we want to make the most of. While Galentine\u2019s Day is a fun holiday to celebrate in person, you can also celebrate it with friends near and far with a little bit of creativity! A lot of my friends, like me, love shopping at Goodwill and finding unexpected treasures that inspire new projects. My most recent trip to Goodwill sparked an idea that I could do with friends, no matter where they lived. All they needed was a trip to Goodwill, a few different types of flowers and Internet access. \"\" Shopping at Goodwill is fun for so many reasons. I love walking into the store and knowing that I\u2019m about to find items that are just a fraction of what they\u2019d cost in a regular retail store. I also love knowing that by shopping there, I\u2019m not only reducing the demand for overproduction of new goods, but I\u2019m also supporting the local community through the skills training programs Goodwill stores fund. It\u2019s a win-win, and with Goodwill stores all around the country, this is something I can do in New Jersey, while my friends in New York, California, Tennessee and Florida can all do the same. This trip to Goodwill is where I came across the most beautiful crystal vases sitting on the shelf for just a few bucks each. I just knew that they\u2019d have to come home with me and that I\u2019d be able to decorate my home with them by filling them with pink, red and purple flowers. And my friends could do it too. \"\" I set up a virtual video call with my besties and gave them the instructions \u2014 we were going to all go thrift a pretty vase at Goodwill, grab a bunch of flowers (depending on where you live, you might even have some in your backyard) and get together for a few hours over the phone as we put together our festive floral arrangements. I was so happy with how mine came out! They might not last forever, but the memory of spending quality time with my best friends certainly will. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n
