Product gifted to SobeSavvy.com by Bedlam Vodka, Hard Candy and Lit Cosmetics
I have never celebrated Galentine’s Day before until this past Saturday when the lovely Nekeyeta Newkirk (Raleigh’s BBU Director, Stylist & Blogger @the_key2style) invited me along with some fellow bloggers and closest friends to a Galentine’s Day Pajama Jam Brunch. I love a great theme party as well as a chance to fellowship with other creatives, so I found me some PJs (shout out Carolina Thrift) and was ready to network and party! But first, I got in a quick mini photoshoot at home because that’s what we bloggers do!
Pajama Set: Soma Intimates, Embraceable Pajama Pants + Top French Scroll Black | Lipstick: Hard Candy Fierce Effects Matte , Crave
If you are like me and never celebrated Galentine’s Day before, it occurs on February 13 and its a chance for women to get together with their friends and celebrate sisterhood, friendship, Valentine’s Day and self-love! It’s a chance to connect with your tribe and support each other. We did all of that over some amazing food and drink of course. Take a look:
THE FOOD + DRINK
The Brunch menu was an amazing fusion of island and southern cuisine with buttermilk waffles including donut, blueberry and red waffle flavors and savory chicken wings sponsored by Big C Waffles + delicious strawberry cupcakes provided by Southern Lady Sweets ! Cohost Laing of Laing & Co., @justlaing, brought the vibes of the island with her saltfish and jerk chicken. Other brunch items like grits, andouille sausage, dumplings, eggs were also on the buffet style spread.
Sangria and speciality cocktails made with Durham’s own Bedlam Vodka were available to enjoy. I highly suggest when you are going to a party and asked to bring an adult beverage, #BringTheBedlam! And feel free to make this Galentine Martini aka Galentini to celebrate on Galentine’s Day or anytime!

I never heard of Galentine’s Day before, but it sounds like fun! Brunch is my favorite meal, and brunch in pajamas sounds even better! I just moved to the area, so still need to meet new gals to be able to celebrate Galentine’s Day. Maybe next year 🙂

I loveeee Bedlam vodka! So delicious, and gluten-free! Me and my gal pals celebrated Galentine’s Day before it was an actual thing. Back in high school, we would all buy each other candy for Valentine’s Day. We didn’t even realize back then how lucky we were to have each other!

Thank you. If I had to guess(because I don’t remember) my bedding probably came from Ross,Marshalls. We had single, married, seperated, recently divorced women there. It was gun celebrating US.
