A little sneak peek into history of Valentine’s day:
Valentine’s Day is a set date on the calendar that was combined with Lupercalia, a mid-February holiday on the ancient Roman calendar, which some historians say is how Valentine’s Day came to be associated with love.

Even if you are the best person in the world, your appearance is usually what people notice first. Since humans are visual beings, it only makes sense to display your best self if you want to charm others. Here are some suggestions to assist you:

Other customs involve people showing each other appreciation in small ways, such as by leaving lollipops and gifts for the kids. Although the foundation was previously there, Valentine’s Day is likely now more widespread and toxic because to social media.
