My friends call me…
Taylr
I grew up…
in California, near the ocean.
I am expecting…
a baby boy in November.
The first thing I do when I wake is…
admire my sleeping husband, love on my dog that is usually at my feet and then drink a glass of water & check my phone for incoming emails and updates. I always take a warm shower to start my day.
You will usually find me…
working at home, especially this past year.
The best morning is…
a hot cup of coffee and a book, with the sun rising.
The best evening is…
cozy at home with my husband.
I feel my happiest when…
I make time for myself and enjoying simple pleasures. I love exploring new settings and spending the weekends surrounded by loved ones.
When I need space…
I like to go on a walk or take myself on a date to get coffee or tea.
My favourite place in the world is…
Somewhere near the ocean— or my bed, especially with fresh sheets.
Before becoming pregnant, I was…
more mobile! I am looking forward to being able to take long walks and surf again. :)
Right now I am…
anticipating the arrival of our baby boy!
Etto Oil is…
nourishing to my skin and an aroma I now crave after bathing.
Etto came about…
last year, while simplifying my beauty routine.
My daily rituals…
coffee, applying oil to my belly, lighting candles, stretching & checking off to-do lists.
I am inspired by…
nature, traveling, natural fibers in garments, interiors and sculptures.
I can’t live without…
My family.
The person I admire most…
My husband. And my mama.
The best lesson I’ve learnt…
To work hard and trust the process.
Something most people don’t know about me is…
I’m very indecisive.
The perfect scent is…
My husband, a cup of brewing coffee, fresh air on an autumn morning.
I find balance…
when I wake up early and have a few extra moments to myself.
I feel womanly when…
I look in the mirror. Watching my changing body has amazed me and has given me a new appreciation for my womanhood.
What makes me dance…
anything with a good tune!
My favourite body part is…
Hands— I think hands are beautiful the way they are able to express emotion and hold the ones we love.
My favourite snack is…
currently, dates with walnuts and a cup of tea.
I believe in…
a beautiful life that is filled with family, friends and simple pleasures.
I am looking forward to…
this new chapter of motherhood.
