Making Spaces allisajacobs.com Hello Reader, You ever feel like you're so great at giving advice...but not always the best at applying it to yourself? 🙋 Yeah, so that totally applies to me. Whether we're talking about relationships, time management, or, ahem, home styling I don't always take my own medicine. Let's take my own home for instance.
