Naturally Nurturing Morning Routine | Clay Treatment, Ashwagandha In The Garden | VLOG

Time…it’s one of the first things that comes up when many of us either think about nurturing ourselves, whether it’s stepping up our skin-or-hair care routine, eating better, getting more movement in, reading that book, or starting some other healthy habit.

Vegetable Broth recipe, Shak Shak Seeds & Raised Bed Garden Prep | Vlog

Gardening is a moving meditation and workout but it’s also healthy for the mind.
