Hi all! Welcome to my blog “LivingLiz” I’m so excited to set off on this new experience.

My main focus of LivingLiz is to have a public space to share my experiences in this lovely life and (hopefully), simultaneously, entertain my readers. I’ll post tips from my adventures & feedback on fun new experiences that I try. I’m naturally a curious person, so I’ll try new things and let my readers know how I felt about the product, event, experience, whatever it may be.

Just a little bit about me: I grew up in the south shore of Massachusetts. I had a job at a hand-dipped chocolate shoppe throughout high school, so I’m a chocolate snob. This summer I’m a manager at a local “farm” where we sell heathy products and comfort foods like subs and pizza. I’m an undergraduate & incoming senior at Westfield State University where I study communication and business management. At the end of this month I start on a new journey to Florence, Italy where I’ll be spending the semester abroad (& blogging my every adventure)

I’ve been wanting to start this blog since the beginning of the summer but haven’t gotten around to it due to the juggling of work, social life, fitness and health, my boyfriend, blah blah blah & other lame excuses. For whatever reason, on this muggy Monday evening I found some time… & I started.

Start now. Start where you are. Start with fear. Start with pain. Start with doubt. Start with hands shaking. Start with voice trembling but start. Start and don’t stop. Start where you are, with what you have. Just… Start. – Ijeoma Umebinyuo
