This goes far beyond standards like home gyms, mud rooms and hand washing. Rather, it’s about creating an environment at home that’s part of a holistic approach to a more optimal lifestyle.

Ali Levine X Taja Smudge Kit

I know for myself as a mama, I have to constantly remind myself to love on myself, and how important it is.”
