  • WELCOME!

    When my son started having allergic reactions to multiple foods, I tried to find reasons to explain what was happening. After much research, I discovered that our food system is broken. Beyond that discovery, I also learned that we are exposed to toxic chemicals in almost every aspect of our daily lives. I was overwhelmed with information and frustrated by the things I couldn't control. One day I found myself crying in the grocery store, reading label after label, knowing that I didn't want to feed my family this way any longer.

    And so began my journey to research, learn, and find a way to live a cleaner life. It's still a work in progress but, using the 80/20 rule, I very much enjoy the challenge. Finding Clean is a way for me to share my discoveries with the world, and to show people that change doesn't have to be so hard.

    "Be the change you want to see in the world." -Mahatma Ghandi

    So here I am, hopefully changing the world (or at least my little corner of it). If you want to join in, start HERE at the beginning.

    Love,
    Crystal

Enjoying Time

I often have to remind myself that it’s not “wasting” time when I’m doing something I enjoy.  When I spend time cleaning my office space, or decorating, or even leisurely reading a book, I often feel like I’m wasting time because I could be doing something more productive.   But, sometimes I think my brain […]

Grocery Shopping

Many people have asked me how I grocery shop, so I thought I would share.  When we began this transition to “real” food and non-GMO, I was very overwhelmed at the grocery store (namely, Publix).  Everything that was familiar to me was no longer something I wanted to consume.  I still wanted to have bread, […]

Natali - Funny, I shop almost exactly the same way! Chicken at Costco, once a month (or twice) TJ’s stock up, etc. etc.! Nice, *clean* looking blog :) Found you through Danielle Bryson’s recommendation.
