With all of the pressure of Valentine's Day fast approaching, I wanted to get some perspective on the Hallmark holiday from my funny Valentine: The coolest single lady on the planet, my 72-year-old aunt.

From aphrodisiacs to advice for single people, Auntie's got a sweet and hilarious outlook on modern love, and I captured it all on video.

Plus, she weighs in on where to find cheap cards, online dating and Tom Brady. Natch.

So whether you're single or in a relationship, we hope you have a wonderful day on Friday.

And if you're interested in Auntie, all she really wants for Valentine's Day is R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Oh, and maybe some dark chocolate from Trader Joe's.
