IF MOTHERHOOD TEACHES anything it’s that life needs balance, and our July Guest Editor, Nicole Richie, nails it on her own terms. Making time for her fam and running a fashion brand is no easy feat. But in spite of constantly being in the spotlight and on the go, this mama of two still manages to stay playful, poised and real – and we’re all about her approach.
From healthy breakfast smoothies to heavy metal music, Nicole’s daily wellness and sanity-strategies are uniquely her own – and we love her for it. We spent a morning at casa del Richie to see how things flow; scroll on to learn what Nicole eats to start her day, how she finds time for herself and what she thinks about “the universe”…
