National Banana Bread Day is held on 2/23. Banana bread became popular during America’s Great Depression era when bananas were introduced as an ingredient for homemade cakes and quick bread.

Today, banana bread is enjoyed globally. Its appeal lies in its comforting taste and aroma that reminds us of childhood baking memories with loved ones while also being a healthy, cost-effective dessert that can be tweaked for dietary needs or preferences.

Valentine's Day is a day of showing the people in your life — your spouse, your siblings, kids, parents, friends and other relatives — just how much you love them. And while a homemade Valentine with a heartfelt message, homecooked meal or stunningly luxurious gift can help you do that, sharing a photo of your activities with a sweet caption is also a great idea. Who says Valentine's Day has to be all lovey-dovey? Share a meme, or create some light-hearted antics, and suddenly you're more relatable than a heart-shaped pizza.

International Epilepsy Day is February 12 this year. Epilepsy, also known as seizure disorder, is the fourth most common neurological disorder and one of the oldest-known medical conditions. The condition causes electrical activity in the brain to stop for a short time, which leads to recurrent seizures. Even though 65 million people in the world live with epilepsy, there is still some stigma around the disease. International Epilepsy Day exists to educate the general public about epilepsy and to teach people how to provide better care for people living with the disorder.
