About the blog:
Simply, Liv is a community and blog inspiring slow, mindful, and ethical living curated by Olivia Youngs, a wife, mom to three, coffee shop owner, and ethical fashion advocate. I love working with brands that create ethical, empowering products, promote sustainability, and embody a "less is more" mentality. Think we'd be a good fit? I'd love to work with you and get your product in the hands of my (equally passionate) readers!
