Valentine’s Day — a day of candy hearts, red roses and unnecessarily large plush animals. This celebration of love costs Americans $25.9 billion a year, but does anyone actually know why?
As sweet as giving your date candy from CVS might seem, there are definitely ways to improve. Waco, despite its reputation for having mostly fast food and highway-accessible restaurants, does indeed have places to make your Feb. 14 a special and affordable one.
Love is in the air, and with Valentine’s Day on the horizon, the Martin Museum of Art’s annual Print-a-Valentine event is approaching. Allison Chew, director of the museum, said the event will include a series of six wood-cut design templates from which attendees can choose to create a print.
Sure, it’s true other people in public perceive your significant other. So, why is a video about it bad? Because social media material on subjects like this takes a simple thing and runs with it. It serves as a constant reminder of insecurities and encourages viewers to assume the worst of their partners.
“It’s just a sweet way to connect and kind of get to hear about who they’re making it for, why they’re making it, you know, even just ask how their day is going; get to form connections with people,” Starnes said.
If gushy indie music is your jam, you’ll love, well, really anything by Leith Ross. “(You) On My Arm” comes just in time for Valentine’s Day. It’s a soft, pretty song with lovely lyrics that just make the rest of us want to lie down in the street a little bit.
For a more unique experience, take your Valentine to the park, specifically Mouth of the Bosque. There are tons of trails and it’s next to the river. Grab yourself a picnic blanket or take a seat at the gazebo to create the perfect evening.

Valentine’s Day evokes images of passion, fun and love. All things are colored red, even the Texas dirt.
This Valentine’s Day, couples and singles alike can attend a special dinner and show hosted by Mission Waco and Jubilee Theatre.
Mission Waco’s World Cup Café and Jubilee Theatre are putting on an event called “Love Chronicles” on Friday.
When all you see are red roses, candy hearts and pink plush animals, you know it’s Valentine’s Day.
But for many busy students, Valentine’s Day this year will lack the chocolates and fancy dinner that make Valentine’s Day famously romantic.
Arlington sophomore Shelby Blue and Tyler junior Matthew Baldwin will spend Valentine’s Day performing at opening night for All-University Sing, leaving little room for celebrating the holiday. They have been dating for seven months.
I found this cute DIY project on Pinterest, though its original source was the blog House of Humble. I was looking for something to decorate my apartment for Valentine’s Day, and to take my mind off the fact that I’d be spending the day at work instead of being romanced, I decided to take on a project. To save myself some money, I adapted the project to incorporate things I already had in the house. I’d give the project a medium difficulty rating. It requires a basic knowledge of sewing, and I recommend being careful with the hot glue gun. Apart from that, it was pretty straightforward.
For those still searching for a Valentine’s Day gift, an arts and crafts event being held tonight by local Waco boutique Harts N Crafts may be the answer.
From 7 to 9 p.m., Harts N Crafts, located at 1125 S. Eighth St., next to Common Grounds, will host a Valentine’s Day party complete with free cupcakes and drinks where patrons will also have the opportunity to create handmade gifts for their loved ones.
My grandmother had this saying:
“A good cook never has a clean kitchen.”
Well, I like to think I’m a good cook, but I’m also a neat freak. I knew from the beginning that trying to make cookies from a cake mix had the potential to go horribly wrong. After all, cake mix is infinitely more runny than cookie dough.
Starbucks is being shot down — by a group of people who oppose guns. The National Gun Victims Action Council has begun a boycott of the coffee chain in an effort to convince Starbucks to adopt an anti-gun policy for all of its shops.
All across America, men gave their sweethearts flowers and chocolates for Valentine’s Day. Michael Jennings gave his girlfriend something more memorable, if less fragrant: a tour of a Brooklyn sewage plant.
Each year I feel like Valentine’s Day becomes less about showing your love and appreciation for loved ones and more about showing how deep your wallet is.
For thousands of people around America, Monday was a day full of pink and red balloons and bears, with flowers and vases and chocolate-covered sweet things. Laughter, hugging and excitement hovered around the millions of people experiencing “love”’ But the sweetest sound for many wasn’t a serenade or love song – it was the day Spring Training began.
There’s something about Valentine’s Day that seems to make people happier. With each box of chocolates, bouquet of flowers and heartfelt card bought during this time of year comes added emotional health benefits.
This Valentine’s Day, millions of Americans will exchange something sweet with that someone special without taking a moment to consider where that confectionary item was produced or ponder the ever-so-slight price increase.
