Taylor Smith

Taylor was born and raised in South Carolina, and after a few years in Raleigh, NC now calls the beautiful city of Greenville, South Carolina home. She met her husband, Neal at the University of South Carolina and they have been married for almost four years. They laugh a lot, stay up way too late every night (it's basically college all over again but with a husband and no homework) and have a miniature poodle, Jet, who thinks he is a human child. If she had it her way, the food pyramid would primarily consist of tacos, chocolate ice cream, and breakfast food (She know's what you're thinking and the answer is yes, she WILL be your personal trainer). She loves mornings, reading a good book she can get lost in, and spending quality time with her husband, friends, and family. She can quote way too much of the TV show The Office, and her favorite movie is When Harry Met Sally. She's passionate about men, women, and children across the globe experiencing freedom, and is the founder + owner of Milk & Honey Market, an online fair trade boutique.
