With summer soon approaching, I know that I’ve been trying to be more careful about what I’m eating. One of my biggest struggles is to kick eating chips. So far, I’ve been successfully staying away from my salty guilty pleasure with these substitutes and I thought that I’d share them with you!


Annie Chun's Seaweed Crisps

While the name may turn you off, don’t write off these crispy crackers. Made with popped brown rice layered with thin cut dried seaweed, these crackers pack the crunch of chips without the guilt! Annie Chun’s Seaweed Crisps come in several flavors to choose from and with just 80 calories a serving, they are the perfect fix to satisfy you.


Peas Please

Peas Please is a great way to get your daily serving of veggies with these fun puffed green peas. With five grams of protein, four grams of fiber and 130 calories a serving, these puffed green peas are a great substitute for chips! They are puffed and salted perfectly. They even come in a variety of flavors!


Skinny Girl Popcorn

Skinny Girl Popcorn snacks are single serving packages of popcorn that are low in calories and come in a variety of flavors from classic butter & sea salt to lime & salt. Each serving is only 160 calories and it leaves you satisfying your salty craving!


Pretzel Crisps

These fun twists on pretzels are a great way to kick your salty craving! These flattened and baked pretzel crisps are thin and easy to take on the go. You can even pair them with cheese, hummus, or your favorite deli meats. Pretzel Crisps come in several flavors/seasonings and contain about 100 calories per serving.


Sun-Maid Dried Fruit

Dehydrated fruits are a healthy substitute for chips. My personal favorites are dried mangos, bananas, and apples. They are thin and crispy enough to trick you into thinking that they are a guilty pleasure while they are actually good for you! With about 130 calories, give or take depending on the type of fruit, these are a great snack to take on the go.

I hope that you find these healthy eating alternatives helpful!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
