Something I've been really getting into this past year is taking better care of my skin. From moisturizers to sun screen, I'm trying to prevent my skin the natural way from the aging process! I know I know, I'm only 22 but I believe in preventing now so that when I'm older I don't run into any issues that could have been prevented along the way!
When I was younger, if the sun didn't feel too hot, you better believe I didn't have sunscreen on! Yikes. I also have family history of all sorts of cancers so I honestly have been really trying to prevent any future health issues by taking care of my body now. Anyway, the sun is an amazing thing and vitamin d is SO great however, not protecting our skin can cause harmful effects down the road!
I recently have been trying out the
Clarins 50 SPF UV PLUS Anti-Pollution Sunscreen and really love the light-weight and oil free formula! Sunscreen is also great to wear on a daily basis. I run outside at least 5 days a week and I never realized how much sun I get on my face! I'm crossing my fingers for youthful looking skin for many years to come!

SPRANGGG BREAKK!
woohoo! YAS. Today I have put together for y'all a compilation of all my favorite spring break photos from my recent Florida vacation!
It's a bit of an understatement to say where we stayed in FL was nice. It was seriously a dream. If you have every visited / plan to visit northern Florida, Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach is the place to be! I think I fell in love with the town -- It was almost like we weren't even in the USA. To give you a small example of how nice this area was -- they covered the construction zones / fences with walls of grass and florals to make it look nice. This place was as cohesive and aesthetically pleasing as it gets!
Anyway, Tyler and I along with 14 of our friends, rented a gigantic 24 person house right near the beach and had the best time! We spent most of our days by the pool / hot tub, bbq'ing lots of yummy food, tanning, making delicious drinks, riding bikes, eating seafood, and exploring the town! As you can tell we did lots of eating LOL -- no shame!
One of Tyler and I's go-to's while there was the coffee shop and cafe called Fonville Press. Seriously the dreamiest coffee shop I have ever stepped foot in. It was only about 1.5 miles from our house and not even a 5 minute bike ride. I think we stopped there at least 4 or 5 of the 7 days we were there!
Besides all the amazing views, scenery, and architecture, Tyler and I ate at a Forbes 4 star restaurant called the Havana! We met his cousin and her boyfriend their for lunch one of the days and didn't realize where we were until we saw the sign on our way out! It's always been on Tyler's bucket list to go to a place like that!
Visiting a sunny state and coming home to snow is never fun however, has me excited to plan the next exciting adventure!

Weather in Michigan has been as low as 20 this week and as high as 60 -- Can you believe it?! I guess you can call that "spring" for Michigan! One thing that is always great to have handy for the changing spring temps is a few pairs of go-to denim!
Today I'm teaming up with Topshop to showcase two of my favorite denim styles from their site! As y'all know, I'm all about comfort -- These Moto mom jeans and straight jeans are literally AMAZING! & better yet, they are just $60 a pair! WIN!
LOOK 1: I've been on the hunt for a pair of black denim that have no holes. About 90% of my denim in my closet have holes, so these are an absolute score! The vintage vibe and relaxed fit are paired perfect with a graphic tee but can also be styled for a night out simply by adding a blouse or sequin tank!
LOOK 2: Last but not least, these Vintage Bleach Straight jeans are SO COMFORTABLE! I think I have worn these 3 of the 5 days this week -- the hem, fit and color scream spring! Again, these are also a great pair of denim to dress up or down. I choose to go for the total spring vibe by pairing then with a fun greenish floral top!
xoxo Lisa!

Happy Valentine's Day you beautiful people!
Today I wanted to share a few random facts / things with you guys instead of doing a more sappy / romantic Valentine's Day post with y'all! 1st - Of course, today I'm SO thankful for all of you who take the time to read my posts and encourage me on a daily basis! Last night I hit 30k on Instagram and I'm still in complete shock to the amount of people who chose to follow along! I love that you all are so supportive! And 2nd - I can't forget to give a little V-Day shoutout to Tyler! We have been dating for about 6 years and two months and I look forward to many many more!
Now on the the 5 random things!
1. I LOVE MEXICAN FOOD!
I think I could live off of it for the rest of my life if I had to -- Maybe that is too extreme? lol! But the random thing is, I CAN'T STAND TOMATOES. Weird, I know. Don't get me wrong I'm a huge fan of salsa, ketchup, guacamole, etc. Basically I just don't like tomatoes by themselves. Like I can't do diced tomatoes on a dish, and ughhh, definitely not by themselves. Oh and also refried beans. I can't do it!! You're probably thinking Lisa, if you don't like tomatoes and you don't like refried beans, how the heck do you like Mexican food!? haha! I could eat chicken fajitas for every meal if I had too. The funny thing is, I eat the chicken, peppers and onions by themselves and mix it up with the lettuce and guaq. It's basically heaven! And yes, I don't typically eat the tortillas because yet again, I'm a weirdo! However, at my local Mexican restaurant (where my family is known by the staff), they make an amazing fajita quesadilla that is probably one of the yummiest things I've ever eaten! If you are ever in Michigan, find a Cancun Mexican Grill, AMAZING (not sponsored)!
2. I LOVE FLOWY PANTS!
Give me all the flowy pants and I'm set! I do have a few pairs of jeans that I love however, I've never met a pair of jeans yet that I honestly 110% can't live without! Jeans are so suffocating to me. Anyone else feel that way?! I'll of course wear them but I prefer me some flattering flowy pants instead! I mostly think it's because I can find endless amounts of flowy pants that fit me perfect in the waist AND the thighs! That's my issues with jeans. I'm a huge high-waisted gal and it's really rare that I find a pair that aren't so baggy in the waist and tight in the legs! I grew up playing sports and I've been a runner for the past 4-5 years of my life so I blame my muscular legs on that! However, I would take being in shape any day over not finding the perfect pair of jeans! So thank goodness for flowy pants. lol! I told y'all this would be random.. haha!
3. I LOVE COOKING!
I guess this one kind of goes with #1 however, I feel like this is something I don't talk about often! I would say over the past 5 years I adapted to healthy / clean eating lifestyle and I absolutely love to find ways to make some of my favorite dishes more healthy and nutritious! Something my mom made growing up all the time was lasagna. I sure do love hers however, I created my own fun way to make a version that is extra healthy and full of veggies / superfoods! If you guys want me to share more recipes, please let me know! I'm always making new things up in the kitchen for my dad and I. Him and I are really similar when it comes to most things but mainly, very similar when it comes to our taste buds! We seem to love the same foods with lots of flavor that are also nutrient dense!
Those are just a few random things I love!
