**Hi, I’m Paulina!**

*educator, motivator, & full-time foodie*
I'm a midwest girl through & through. Born in Texas, raised in Iowa, & living in Kansas! Sharing healthy living, educating others on the clean beauty industry, recipe developing, creating community wherever I go, & mid-century modern anything are all things that set my heart on fire! On any given day, you might find me dancing in my kitchen baking warm chocolate chip cookies & you’re more than welcome to join me!
I met my husband & best friend, Ben, playing intramural volleyball at Iowa State University & we've been married since 2016. You could say it was love at first *spike!* You can see some of my favorite photos of us below! My relationship with Jesus is the most life-giving & transformational & I hope to share His love & hope through all I do on here & in real-life!

Here’s a few rapid fire questions for ya!

What are you most likely streaming on Netflix? The Office, Parks & Rec, or The Great British Baking Show.

How do you take your coffee? This is a very important question! At home: with a hefty scoop of collagen & a splash of cream. At a coffee shop: oak milk latte or flat white.

What’s your favorite country you’ve visited? Austria because of the Alps, spätzel, & my family heritage.

Why did you start Paulina Comes Clean? I have been dreaming of starting a blog/ online website for over 2 years now & finally decided it was time! For too long I let fear hold me back (and sometimes still do!), but I decided it was time to move forward anyways and I’m excited to be on-line. My hope is to use this as a community builder & creative outlet.

What Bible verse is giving you life & hope right now? “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” -Romans 15:13
