We really should. But everyone has their guilty pleasure, the one or two (or three or four) things we crave.

Today, we celebrate. We indulge. Because it is not only Friday, it is National Junk Food Day.

In honor of this happy day, we had a few of us here at Explore Rexburg volunteer their favorite splurge items.
