Getting informed

The beach is the BEST place for reading (in my humble opinion). It's a big deal to my sister, my mom, and myself to go to the library and check out books. This year I checked out 14 and brought about 6 from home. I mean, I am obviously going to read 20 books in 14 days, of course I didn't overpack!

Anyway, my reading list this year has been extremely different than in years past. I've read 1 book for pleasure, but these 3 beauties have been my main companions on the beach:

I started with The Honest Life because Katie had it with her (I have clearly since ordered my own copy and written/highlighted/post-it(ed?) everywhere in it). That book is great for getting toxic chemicals out of your life taking baby steps. Letting you know the big ones to avoid and simple swaps that will make the biggest impact. 

Next up came the Complete Idiot's Guide to Eating Clean. I love this book. It explains the benefits of the lifestyle change. It gives you great tips for making little changes or helping you go cold turkey. The last 12ish chapters are dedicated to awesome clean recipes. My book is seriously dog-eared, because lets face it...I love food!

I finished reading The Everything Eating Clean Cookbook yesterday. And if I thought the idiot's guide was dog-eared, I'm not sure how to describe this one. There are amazing sounding recipes in this book! 

I cannot wait to get home and make my first trips to Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Costco (just to see what they have in bulk that I can use). I think I'm getting my mom excited about eating clean, too. 

I love cooking and I love eating, and this lifestyle lets me do that 5 times a day! Winner winner :) Please don't worry, I'll post pictures of my cooking on insta @kathryncleansup
