Hey Friends! Once again, we are posing like this because we support this campaign. I am doing this because I believe in this campaign and I believe that organizations based on love and hope can make a positive difference. I gain nothing financially from this campaign, but what I do gain is being able to see the impact created in people's lives. By now, you’ve probably heard the story of the “hope” bracelet that I wear every day. It’s a simple reminder; encouraging me to never give up. It’s also become a symbol of hope for an incredible group of people in Honduras. When I think about the campaign we launched with @humanityandhope less than a year ago, I’m amazed and inspired by all that you guys have done. Together we raised over $50,000 for job initiatives and community development in the villages of La Corosa and Remolino! Men and women are escaping poverty by going to work and providing for their families. Kids of all ages are finally able to attend school. For the first time in their lives, people feel that they have value and worth. This has been an amazing campaign — and we’re not done yet! · Today I’m so excited to announce the next phase of “Get Hope. Give Hope.” We’re launching a pineapple farm! Why pineapple? Well, besides it being delicious and just looking cool, pineapple is one of the strongest crops in Remolino. Launching this new farm will provide even more people with jobs and strengthen the local economy in brand new ways. Communities will be rejuvenated, and families will prosper. · To celebrate, my friends at @mudlove have launched a new fundraising campaign with some beautiful, handcrafted products. We’ve got a new bracelet, a necklace, and a mug! Each piece incorporates an illustrated pineapple design featuring the word “hope”. Since we’re working with MudLOVE again, every product will also provide 1 week of clean water to someone in the Central African Republic through their nonprofit partner, @water_for_good. · Visit the link in my profile (https://mudlove.com/hope) to read the full story, view photos, and watch a video. I hope you’ll also consider making a purchase or donation to support the cause.

The emotional Ben Higgins profusely thanked Lauren, who he called the brains of the operation of their home makeover, of which Lauren reciprocated by saying that Ben's gratitude is the best anniversary gift she could ask for. Did Lauren somehow forgot that Ben Higgins just recently called off their wedding?

It seems celebrating their one-year anniversary doing charitable works didn't keep Ben from surprising Lauren even more. Over the romantic dinner, Ben prepared for Lauren, the couple shared the highs and lows of their year.

Ben said one of the lows for him was when he fell in love with Lauren and his preconceived notion that life with Lauren would be easy is harder than he thinks. He acknowledges that he has been jerking Lauren around by how confusing he was for the past year.

In the end, Ben takes back his word on canceling their wedding. He says, "I made a big mistake by pushing off the wedding. I don't want to lose this girl". Well, it seems Ben and Lauren indeed will get their happily ever after.

But does this sudden turn of events seem fake to you? Well, a lot of viewers think so too. Rumors are going around that "Ben And Lauren: Happily Ever After" are suffering a decline of viewership and ratings. Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell need the cash flow from their reality show to pay for their wedding.

The sudden cancellation of their wedding and now it being back on again has gotten people to think that it was scripted to get the viewers interest back on their reality show. Even if there is a spike in viewership and ratings, most are still finding "Ben And Lauren: Happily Ever After" boring.

Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell should not cross their fingers that their reality show would be renewed. Their fifteen minutes of fame are running out. And with the latest season of "Bachelor" coming in January, people will soon forget something like "Ben And Lauren: Happily Ever After" even aired.
