We love a hard-working fitness class, but our wallet would beg to differ. Many gyms or studios have free guest passes or will give you your first class for free, some gyms even have free trials lasting up to a week. If you’re in a walkable city or one with a bike share program, turn your commute into your own personal workout. These are just a few of the many options available to get fit on a budget — read on to find more of our faves. [Swirled]

For most people, that morning cup of joe at a local cafe is part of a beloved ritual, but those lattes and cups of cold brew add up. So it’s not a bad idea to have a few DIY tricks up your sleeve when you’re making that rushed cup of coffee at home. Condensed milk gives coffee a Vietnamese flair, maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness, while cocoa powder and cinnamon will add a touch of spice. Try these ideas and more to save money and time a few days a week without having to give up your coffee shop habit altogether. [Swirled]
Recipe Of The Day: Braised Pork Belly Tacos aren’t your typical tacos. Topped off with a zesty yet fresh salsa of watermelon, jicama and jalapeno, this savory classic takes on a summer spin. Start by soaking the pork in a brine of honey, bay leaves and peppercorns for seven hours before slicing into taco-sized strips and searing them on a stovetop dutch oven. Add your juicy meat to a tortilla and top it off with the spicy sweet salsa! Though this recipe might seem time-intensive, this taco certainly rivals anything you’ve picked up from a streetside truck. [Food52]
A tip from yours truly: Flip around your cupcake pan and pinch a soft tortilla in between the ridges! Throw the pan in the oven for crispy taco shells any time.
