Looking to build up a sweat for Valentine’s Day? Check out IFGfit like Fuller House’s John Brotherton did. The athleticwear company says their clothing has been proven to facilitate rapid muscle and joint recovery.

Going for the glamour look? Pia Gladys Perey was on hand to show off some of her most romantic gowns.

Of course, what’s all the glitz and glam mean without something sweet to enjoy it with? We loved the idea of sharing award-winning True Gold Honey with our own Valentine honey, in keeping with the holiday theme. Or if you’re single, you can share it with all you love or even get to enjoy it all yourself.

The play brings together Greta (Golden Globe nominee Marilu Henner), a longtime ACLU donor on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, and Tanner (Emmy nominee Shannon Purser), the young representative sent to secure a substantial contribution. While initially united by progressive values, their conversation quickly exposes a widening generational and ideological rift.

Henner and Purser deliver performances that keep an ideological debate grounded in recognizable human emotion.
