Ad: Did you know that mindful snacking can be an important part of your wellness journey? I’ve learned a ton about it recently. It involves pausing to assess how you’re feeling and why you’re hungry. Then, you eat according to what your body is craving while also paying attention to how you feel afterward. Listening to these cues, keeping the pantry stocked with good snacks and forward thinking your day takes practice but people swear that it’s one way to feel better. Give it a whirl. It can’t hurt to try it and I have more tips on the blog today. . To learn more about mindful snacking and yoga, tune into @goodnessKNOWS on Facebook live, June 21 at 3:00 p.m. ET. . Do you practice mindful snacking? #tryalittlegoodness

In the spirit of trying new things in 2017, I've set out to tackle one-day San Diego itineraries that a tourist might plan. The reason is because though I have the leisure of visiting San Diego attractions at my own pace, I help people put together itineraries on occasion and need to see what really is doable by hitting the pavement. This goal also gets me exercising in the outdoors, which is something I’d like to try to do more of this year to stay fit. . My daughter and I did Balboa Park's museums and the San Diego Zoo in one day. It's a lot of walking, and a realistic option for tweens and teens a well as kids in strollers. Then, I spent a day touring the USS Midway, lunch/walk on the Embarcadero, Seaport Village and other sightseeing downtown. I stopped to try out one of our new city bike share DECOBIKES even, which was great because my feet were getting tired and I wanted to maximize use of this amazing zoom lens I rented. . To power-sightsee in beautiful San Diego, you need good walking shoes, to pre-think your itinerary, a bottle of water and on-the-go snacks like @goodnessknows, whom I am an ambassador for throughout 2017. It's fun to be a tourist in your own town and I'd encourage you to try it! __________ GIVEAWAY: Now it’s your turn!

My friend from middle school and high school is visiting me in Austin for the ACL festival, all the way from Boston! We got some suuuuper late movie tickets and I snuck some @gksnacksquares inside 😏 #tryalittlegoodness We saw "Blair Witch" 🎥 It was scary. As. Hell. 😳 Now we're eating ice cream and listening to girly music to help get our minds off being 100% terrified 👌 (at Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar)

Falafel lettuce wraps 💪 - the perfect protein packed lunch for high school kids and adults alike! I try to make a big batch of my homemade falafel every month. I freeze the patties uncooked and cook them off as I need them making these lunches easy to prep and pack. I tuck a little cup of hummus underneath the lettuce leaves, veggies, fresh herbs, fruit and a pack of @gksnacksquares for munching throughout the day. I wish my lunches in high school looked like this!
