The Fit Frugal Foodie. Where fitness, food, and finances meet. So....why not take fitness, food, and finance into action when dating your significant other. Explore your surroundings. Eat Your Heart Out. Embrace the idea of saving money for your and your partner's future.

Let's just sum it up. Relationships are one hell of a rollercoaster ride in itself. You got the twists, the turns, the upside down loops. The start and hopefully a finish at some point.
