As my favorite holiday inches closer and closer, I cannot help but be overly excited to celebrate. No one quite understands why I love Valentine's Day so much, except my mother, who feels the same way about the holiday as I do.

All I know is that as a 22-year-old with my own apartment, I am starting to build my own Valentine's collection (and luckily, my mother still shares hers).
