National Girlfriends Day

Where would you be without your girlfriends? On National Girlfriends Day, we take a moment to step back and appreciate these lifelong friends.

You can always depend on your girlfriends. Whether you call on them to share exciting news, to have a shoulder to cry on, or to just hang out, your girlfriends are always there for you. That's why today is a day to celebrate these women—friends, sisters, mothers, and daughters. They are all essential parts of our lives!

There are many things that you can do with your girlfriends today to celebrate. Head to the beach, go to a wine tasting, or spend a day in the park. Whatever you decide to do, enjoy the time you spend with each other!

Today is also National Raspberry Cream Pie Day & Lughnasadh & Ramadan
