Bags Quote by Sandra Cisneros
![“My trainer taught me, because he's Iranian, and that's a beautiful snack [pistachios]. I have some with me, actually, in my bag. You could eat that on a plane instead of the salted nuts. And a serving size a day is the size of your hand, not the size of your head!” quote by Sandra Cisneros](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/017/sandra-cisneros-862_bags_my-trainer-taught-me-because-he-s-irania_1509140.jpg)
