Eloping, incredibly romantic or incredibly selfish?
My boyfriend and I have wanted to get married for a while but because we are broke we have postponed an engagement and wedding until after we graduate and get real jobs.

a non-nasty tasting fish oil supplement?
I've added some vitamins to my daily routine, including a fish oil pill because omega 3s are important.

I hope I'm not the only one! I've been staying at my parent's house since Thursday and we have relatives from S. Carolina visiting and I completely destroyed my good eating plan yesterday.

turkey bacon?
So I really enjoy eating bacon and obviously its not a great choice for a variety of health reasons. I've heard that switching to turkey bacon is a good option but the one time I tried that it was awful! My bf basically threw a tantrum because it was so yucky. I want to try eating turkey bacon again but was wondering what…
