Tip Tuesday :: 7 Snacks that taste fatty, but keep you skinny! :: TotalBeauty

7 SNACKS THAT TASTE FATTY BUT KEEP YOU SKINNYThere's no denying it: Snacking is fun. Look at Pringles. "Once you pop, the fun don't stop." Oreos provide endless entertainment with all that cookie twisting. And Chester the Cheetah? Such an exciting guy. When is snacking not fun? When you reach the bottom of an empty bag. When you wipe a greasy hand down your pants and feel immediate guilt and regret. When you notice you've mindlessly eaten so much that the top button of your jeans has made a distinct red indent above your belly button. Skip to see 7 tasty -- yet healthy -- snack recipes now. Unfortunately, many of the snacks we love so much -- chips, popcorn, cookies, the list goes on -- are anything but...

MyFitBeauty.com

I know how confusing this all could be with the blog switches and what not (trust me, i'm confused myself LOL).. but during the switch there were so many glitches, that I had no idea who transferred where and what did lol.. so beautyandthebrute.com has moved to myfitbeauty.com (all previous blog followers of myfitbeauty.com did not have to do anything, just the name had changed).. however, if you subbed to this blog, it was beautyandthebrute.com (but for some reason, google glitched and changed myfitbeauty, so myfitbeauty.com was without a home) I still wanted to keep MyFitBeauty.com because that was how everyone originally knew me! :) so although i will be posting more at BeautyAndTheBrute.com I still have decided to keep this blog, and myfitbeauty.com :) I'm not sure what i'll do with...
