I try to make my own snacks so I know what goes in them. It’s a little more effort, but barely, and I can feel better knowing there isn’t any added sugar or sodium.

For me, adulting comes in stages – particularly when it comes to food. Stage one of adulting is to buy your own groceries. Stage two is the realization of how incredibly ridiculous the price of produce is. Stage three is a stern negotiation with yourself as to what you actually need and stage four is deciding whether or not organic foods are worth it. Once you get over the initial shock of what it actually takes to…
