/Faffing/ v: Don’t be embarrassed if someone catches you faffing – it’s part of human nature and everyone does it when there’s too much build-up. Faffing, or wasting time doing nothing in particular, lets us disconnect from our busy schedule and find some calm during the day. With experts now suggesting it’s good for us, feel free to blame it on your health.

We may be saying “so long” to summer produce and barbecues (sigh), but we’re looking forward to fall with these yummy tips in mind:

Jazz up your salad with healthy add-ons. Experiment with fresh farmer cheese, diced avocado, coconut flakes (great over a spinach and strawberry salad), goji berries and flax seeds, which add crunch and fiber.

Make a “smart” burger by using brain-boosting, omega-3-rich salmon instead of beef. Try it out with this yummy recipe.

Scope out local menus and you’ll never find yourself in a healthy diner’s dilemma. To find the spots with the best dishes, try MenuPages.com or AllMenus.com.

Freeze! Sticking small fruit in the freezer makes for a great all-weather snack (it’ll also keep it fresh for next season). Also try dropping some yogurt with a topping into popsicle molds.

Drink smart by sticking with healthy, low-cal cocktails. For an easy one, combine your favorite liquor with a low-calorie mixer like club soda, diet soda or sugar-free lemonade.
