Galentines Header Image

It’s that time of the year again to celebrate love and friendships. We’re talking about Galentine’s Day, of course! Whether you’re keeping it low-key or making a day of it, we’ve put together a list of five ways to celebrate the day in the comfort of your own home. We got you covered to be the hostess with the mostest. 

Movie Marathon

Who doesn’t love a good movie marathon? Text all your gal pals and ask for their recommendations of which guilty pleasure rom-coms you should all tune into. Then, turn your home into the ultimate mini-movie theater by hanging string lights, scattering accent pillows around and of course, keep it cozy with blankets! No expensive movie ticket required. 

Outfit + food suggestion: Your favorite pair of PJs and popcorn! (Extra butter, please) 

Crafts Day

Remember when you were a kid and how happy you were to create something so artistic? Let your creative flag fly with a day of arts and crafts. Capture your memories and put together that scrapbook you’ve put off for so long or better yet, test out your green thumb and create your own terrarium. 

Outfit + food suggestion:  Let your outfit be as colorful as the work you’re about to create. From the neon green to the radiant pink, no color is ever too much. 

Self-Care Night

We all know how important self-care is. Rally up the girls and pamper yourselves, you deserve it! While a good face mask is important, a good scented candle can set the relaxing mood. Whatever self-care means to you, today is that day to do it with friends!

Outfit + food suggestion: Sweats, slips, robes, you name it. Think of anything that makes you say, “Ah” and feeling the most relaxed to help you kick off self-care night! As for food, might we suggest a good charcuterie board? Yes, please.  

Mimosa Brunch

Save money by skipping the restaurant and host a brunch at home instead! Enjoy good food with good company while pouring the bottomless mimosas. Guaranteed always a good time. 

Outfit + food suggestion: Don’t save that amazing #OOTD you would’ve worn outdoors! Rock your best #PoshStyle and create your own photoshoot at home. Top it off with all the best brunch dishes, eggs benedict and mimosas anyone?  

Bake Off

Being a #PoshBoss is great but now it’s time to find the next Cake Boss. Whether you’re a fan of baking or you just love sweets, host a friendly competition in your kitchen to find the winner of the Great Posher Bake Off. But let’s be honest, we’re all winners here. 

Outfit suggestion: Channel your inner baker but make sure to wear clothing that you won’t have a hard time moving around in. You need to make sure you can get easily make your way to the oven to the sink in less than a few seconds! It is a bake off, remember?

Posh Tip: How to Take Your Home Covershots to the Next Level

Covershots are a first impression of your closet and style because they’re the first thing a buyer sees as they’re scrolling through Poshmark. Set your Posh Home Covershots apart from the rest by following this simple guide that will have you leveling up your Covershots in no time.


Lighting

Do take advantage of the natural light in your home! Open up all the curtains or blinds and let that natural shine through. This will make your Covershot come to life. Lacking the natural light? Try out a ring light to get that light just right.

Don’t take photos in dark areas that will create shadows on your listings.

Background

Do get creative and use home decor like plants, coffee table books, etc. to make the shot feel homier and show how the pieces fit into a larger space. 

Don’t overcrowd your Covershot. Although adding additional decor to your Covershot makes it more visually appealing, make sure you aren’t overcrowding an image with too many items that will make the buyer do guesswork on what’s actually for sale.

Styling

Do style your items. For a Home listing, similar to clothing, buyers look to sellers for inspiration on how to style, and giving a glimpse of what an item looks like in your home will do just the trick. Have fun with styling your item and be sure to include detailed shots of the item itself.

Don’t leave room for imagination. This photo is great as an additional detail shot, but there’s nothing in this photo that gives reference to the pillow’s size. Help your potential buyers envision how they can see this in their home with your Covershot.

Editing

Do use minimal editing on your Home listings. If your space was too dark make sure to bring up the brightness and make that photo Covershot-worthy.

Don’t use harsh filters on your images that could misrepresent the item you’re selling.

Listing

Do get descriptive with your listings. When crafting a description, think about how you would describe the item if your buyer couldn’t see it. Posh Tip: when your listing’s description contains more than 100 words, the likelihood of a sale increases by 40%.

Don’t write a five-word or less description. Add ideas on how you’d style the item, or share a personal anecdote about it. Poshmark is inherently social and adding these details will build a stronger connection between you and your buyers.
