International Women’s Day seems to have got us all talking and thinking about the role we have in society and the impact other women have on us. If you haven’t seen your college friends in weeks or you haven’t taken a trip home to catch up with the girls you grew up with, it’s time to start making more of an effort to celebrate your gal pals. 
The importance of friendship
In this day and age, we tend to caught up in a tangled online web, which can make us question the true meaning of friendship. Facebook may tell you that you’ve got 407 friends, but how many real friends have you got? How many of your online friends would you even stop and talk to if you passed them on the subway, let alone fly across the country to help out in a crisis? Friendship is not about who likes your photos or invites you to random events. It’s about who is there for you when it really matters, who you have that special connection with and who you’d anything for and vice-versa.
Simple ways to celebrate your gal pals
Every girl should have a tribe. Even if it only consists of 3 or 4 members, it’s better to have a couple of lifelong friends than people that come and go. If you’re keen to do more to celebrate your female friends, here are some simple suggestions.
Make the call
You don’t have to spend all day, every day on the phone to your friends, but the odd call or text from time to time will never go amiss. It’s good to check-in from time to time, and ensure you know what’s going on the real world not just on social media. If you’re having a bad day or your best bud is stressed out, even a 5-minute call could do you both the world of good.
Make them feel special
Every girl loves to feel special, and when your friends do something for you, it can lift your spirits for days. Send a card just because you miss her or surprise her with a visit and a gift from www.elf925.com on her birthday. Tag her in that video you know she’ll find hilarious or ask her to take up a role that will mean the world to both of you. If you’re getting married, for example, you may be on the hunt for a maid of honor and some bridesmaids.
Plan a reunion….now!
There’s nothing like catching up in person. If you don’t get the opportunity to hang out as much as you’d like, make the most of the time you do get together. Plan weekends away for birthdays and always get together before the holidays. Take a mini vacation together or just spend a weekend chilling out at home, catching up on the gossip and re-watching all the films you’ve seen together a million times.
