Welcome!

Hi! Welcome to the very first post for Striving for Clean!

Do you ever wander the aisles of Sprouts, Whole Foods, or the healthy aisles in your favorite grocery store and think, “It appears there’s a lot of good stuff here, I sure wish I knew what I should buy and how to use it.” I do too! I mean, do I need hemp seeds, flax seeds or chia seeds? Do I need a collagen mask, a collagen powder, or water with collagen?

Maybe you bought all of the above, put them on your pantry shelf, and then are reminded of them every time you enter the pantry to get another couple of the special-edition Halloween Oreos. I have no idea who might do that!

Here’s the deal. There are five things I spend a lot time thinking about: my family, healthy cooking & eating, how to stay fit & strong, how to defy the aging process for my skin, how to stay positive & energized, and my dogs. Okay, that’s six things but six things seems like a lot and there’s not much to say about my dogs except maybe insert a cute photo of them here and there.

If you spend a lot of time thinking about one or more of these areas, I hope you find this blog interesting and helpful. Maybe I’ll make you smile or even laugh. My goal is to make you feel better informed and save you some time in your day. Maybe you have a better idea or something to add–I’d love that too!

Thanks for reading!
