“First Impressions Are Everything” The Bachelorette Season Premiere

Our bachleorette is 26-year-old Real-estate agent, and (as host Chris Harrison reminds us) America’s sweetheart DeAnna Pappas. After she was left heartbroken by former Season 11 Bachelor Brad Womack, Deanna is optimistic about finding her true love among a mansion full of suitors.

The New York Daily News reports the Orgasmic Diet by Marrena Lindberg.

Ok, so the diet wants you to eat dark chocolate every day, take LOTS of fish oil supplements (which increases blood flow) and cut down on carbs. Not bad. You’ll probably lose weight while boosting your libido. But, you have to give up coffee. Yikes.

The NY Daily News journalist who wrote the article was bold enough to try the diet out and give her own account first hand. She wrote:

“…keen to discover the New and Improved Libidinous Me, I stuck to the rest of the diet as best I could for three weeks. With growing excitement I waited for the wakeup call to my senses, the hormonal reveille. Read More »
