Hi Y'all, I'm Elisa Anne
I'm at 20-something year old Floridian that currently resides in the Tampa Bay area.
I say "y'all", and "reckon", and can cook any Southern delicacy you can imagine.
My boyfriend Ian and I (you'll meet him later on) lived in New Orleans for a year but then moved back to the Sunshine state since I'm a huge baby and I was incredibly homesick. Hey, I'm Southern which means I'm VERY close with my Momma.
It was actually a blessing in disguise moving back, because just a few months after moving back and starting my first big-girl job I was diagnosed with Gastroparesis.
Gastroparesis is a Chronic Illness that directly affects how quickly your stomach digests your food. In my case in takes my stomach over 8 hours to digest what the normal person's stomach can digest in 45 minutes. It can cause extreme nausea, dizziness, malnutrition and a whole long list of problems.
I have been a makeup enthusiast for many years but I've been doing freelance work since 2011. My boyfriend will vouch that in the last couple of years my enthusiasm has grown, or even out-grown!
Since being diagnosed with a chronic illness I've had to change my beauty routine as my symptoms change. With this blog I hope to share how I adapt to the change. I plan to share beauty and fashion looks that will work for my Spoonie sisters (Google the Spoon Theory if you're not familiar) and all my healthy sistas out there too.
I am VERY involved with my Pinterest. We have a very close relationship, I am on my app at least once a day....or all day. I am constantly testing GP friendly recipes that my boyfriend will also enjoy and I am always crafting or piddling around with DIYs. I'll be sure to bring you along on those adventures.
Please make sure you stay tuned because there will soon be makeup tutorials filmed by yours truly. Have you ever tried talking to a camera? You feel like a nut job, so please be patient. xoxo
