Mahdi & LaNaiza Gaines on Instagram: "Creating Christmas traditions & our first home together feels so special. 🥹 Ngl, I used to hate the holidays before meeting my husband and having kids…now its my favorite time of the year. I can truly FEEL the magic. & I hope our boy remembers every single Christmas together when he’s older ✨ What fun Christmas traditions are yall creating with your family? . . . #christmastraditions"

let’s talk about the misogi ritual! disclaimer: I fully recognize this is a historic Shinto tradition, and I am applying this methodology in a way that works for my life. I am, in no way, trying to appropriate this practice or be disrespectful in using this term, but am applying the practice as a tool of self-discovery and growth. ✨ #misogi #goals #goalsetting #newyearsresolution #resolutions
