Hi! My name is Liz and I live in NC with my husband Tom, our son, and our adorable labradoodle named Daisy. I work full-time for an incredible company that I love that allows me to help improve the lives of others. In my spare time I enjoy creating different outfits to inspire others while also exploring makeup trends and testing out new products. My love for fashion and makeup started early on despite having a low self-esteem it was through my clothes and makeup that I learned to feel beautiful. To better explain let me take you back to my elementary school days where I started being bullied by several boys in my class. As a young girl I was muscular and overweight which made me an easy target for boys to pick on. What started as teasing grew to an every day torture that still haunts me to this day. From there I went to a private Catholic Middle School that required everyone to wear uniforms; the skirts we had to wear weren’t flattering on any body type especially my muscular legs. The boys would laugh and say I had man legs/calves or call me fat and some of the “popular” girls would say really nasty things about me. I believe all those experiences caused me to feel ugly and self-conscious. I remember feeling like I would never have a boyfriend like the other girls in my grade or ever be asked to a school dance. During my adulthood I know that subconsciously the affects of being bullied is still with me to this day making me more guarded and reluctant to trust other people. Studies show that being bullied as a child can haunt you for the rest of your life, especially when it began at an age when no child is equipped mentally to deal with it. Which is why I have created Blush with Liz to share my love for fashion, beauty and skincare while empowering other women and teens to feel beautiful inside and out.
