Taking to his Instagram page, the reality TV star shared pictures of himself and his wife, Heather Rae, sporting matching black outfits, sporty shoes, and safety hair nets. The pair smiled happily at the camera, with the blonde beauty wrapping her arms around Tarek's waist. 

Standing in what looked like a production warehouse, the couple took on a more serious persona as they presumably discussed the production process. In a fun end to their excursion, the pair showed off their humorous sides in the last image as they posed with two bottles from their home fragrance line. Alongside the pictures, Tarek revealed:

"Just a few months ago, @theheatherraeelmoussa and I launched @homebythem."

The "Entertainment Tonight" guest star shared that they had discussed the idea for years and were thrilled to witness the positive response to their products. The father-of-three noted that the duo "genuinely care about each product, especially its process." The "Flip or Flop" co-host further stated

"It's been a priority for us to be hands-on with everything… from the concept, design, fragrance, & how it's made. And we especially care what you all think! So tell me, what scents and products would you like to see added to the collection next? ?."

As expected, the suggestions flowed in from enthusiastic fans: "Perhaps a seasonal holiday edition that includes peppermint and/or an evergreen scent." One supporter expressed, "Please not pine or pumpkin more like a soft sage or sandalwood scents."

Heartfelt congratulations echoed as another netizen applauded, "?❤️nice! Congratulations on the new biz! ??," while someone else chimed in with, "Congrats on the project. ?." 

Because of how much the El Moussas share with their followers, it was no surprise when the business-oriented couple brought them along on a tour of their production factory. To illustrate their commitment, Heather posted a video showcasing the duo donning matching all-black outfits and protective gear inside the processing plant.

The "Brother vs. Brother" judge mentioned their desire for a "boutique feel" in their products, sharing that they would "only be putting things on our site that we love." Continuing their inspection, they interacted with their staff and even shared affectionate moments.
