This week I decided to include one of my favorite desserts for special events and holidays.  The great thing about this dessert, is that it is super easy and fast to make and tastes absolutely delicious!  It is always a crowd favorite and based on the ingredients, I don't think it's that terrible on the waistline either.  I found this recipe from an Oreo ad in a magazine several years ago and I'm sure glad I did!  What I'm submitting here is an altered version that I think tastes better.  The original recipe called for using 1/2 cup of hot fudge spread on top of the pie crust, but in my opinion, that is just way too chocolate-y.  I leave that part out and I think the result is much better!  Maybe when you make this, try half of the Oreo pie with the fudge spread on the bottom and the other half without the fudge, and you be the judge as to which tastes the best!

Bullying is something that many associate with elementary school; however, it is a form of harassment that can continue well past high school into college. Bullying most often occurs where adult supervision is low or absent. Categorizing bullying at the college level becomes a bit different, but it is still defined as any deliberate act of intimidating or abuse in any form, of another person.

Bullying in college has historically been defined as “hazing,” harassing behavior targeting students seeking membership to Greek organizations, sports teams, academic societies, military-related programs and other clubs.

 However, bullying is not limited to organized groups. It could happen to anyone, of any age, race, color, religion, sexual orientation or national origin. Some forms of bullying, such as harassment of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students or harassment of members of religious groups, may violate antidiscrimination laws.

Hazing or bullying does not always involve physical contact. Social media, email and texting are all outlets through which bullying occurs.

The effects of bullying can be devastating. Students who are bullied often avoid classes, cafeterias and social events, are often emotionally and physically harmed and tragically can turn to suicide.

Bullying in college can also fall into the following forms according to BullySolutions.com:

Here are a few tips on how to lose stomach fat in a healthy way: drink plenty of water, fruits and veggies; engage in aerobic exercise; do some weight training; have a proper nutrition and diet.

Belly fats can be very annoying. And, to get rid of them fast is one major concern of almost all women who gained weight through time. What to do and how to do it effectively is the big question. Below are some helpful ways that you can follow to achieve your goal:

Drink Plenty of Water and Eat Plenty of Fruits & Veggies

Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily. Water will eliminate toxins from your body making it very important for your health. Drinking plenty of it can basically aid you in controlling your diet. Drinking vegetable and fruit juice is another healthy way of eliminating fat since they are rich in fiber. Fiber will naturally push calories out of your body.

Engage in Aerobic Exercise

Aerobic exercise includes bicycling, jogging, walking, swimming, dancing and stair climbing. These exercises are great for burning belly fat. Any of these exercises should be done for about 30 minutes or more. Anything less than that would be considered as exercises contributing to plainly cardiovascular benefits, but not in burning the fats in your abdominal area.

Do Some Weight Training

Weight training need not be strenuous for you. Choose a program that fits your body structure and need. This is a very good way to sculpt and tone your muscles. Weight training is able to burn fats fast and easier because of its capability to increase metabolism rate.

Utilize Proper Nutrition & Diet

In order to succeed in your fat elimination program, the key here is to integrate exercise and good nutrition and proper diet. You should have less intake of calories to expedite in getting rid of the fat in your belly. Eating in smaller portions of about 4 to 5 times per day is better that overeating in one or maybe two meal times. Choose natural and or organic food too.

Take vitamins and supplements for a healthier you. Lastly, have a large amount of fiber and protein in your food intake.  Foods rich in monounsaturated fats like beans, nuts and avocado can give you a feeling of being full, thus decreasing you cravings for more food.

Belly fat is caused not only by lack of exercise and increase in food intake. Studies show that stress can play a devastating role in your tummy. But, then again, with enough rest and exercise combined with a proper nutrition like that of Jillian Michaels diet, you know you have better chances of having the flat belly you so desire.

Return policies for some merchants are more complex than income tax laws. Buy online and you'll spend umpteen hours working your way through phone trees and waiting on hold to talk to a customer "service" representative. If you're lucky, you'll get a refund. Otherwise, it's a store credit from a store you may not wish to patronize again.

Humorously, many of these merchants claim to offer "hassle free" returns. Some retailers, on the other hand, genuinely believe in making the process as pain-free as possible. FreeShipping did some research and came up with the following top 10 online return policies.
