How to EAT CLEAN on vacation

Story of my life. Hi!

Have you ever shown up to an event overdressed? As in, you got the same invitation everyone else did, however you completely misunderstood the dress code. That's been my entire life. I'm the girl that showed up in her prom dress to the BBQ- The girl who took so long getting ready that she wound up putting three layers of make up on only to walk out the door to go to the movie theater with her family.

Being this caught up in vanity you would think would be completely time-consuming. Well, there are 24 hours in a day and in those 24 hours I have spent most of them wondering why I have to try so hard to fit into a world that is made for others.  “Nice to meet you. I'm a bubbly energetic blonde with a pretty smile and a knack for humor. I'm witty and sarcastic and have been told that I'm charismatic.”  I sound pretty great don't I? A lot of people think so. However, behind all of that bronzer and rouge is a very sad girl.  I've spent my life trying to figure out why everyone else got the instruction manual for life but I didn't.

This website is dedicated to sharing my story not just for the therapeutic purposes that it gives me to finally say “hi, I'm Lisa, and I'm doing my best I can,” but also for all those other people who didn't get the instruction manual. For all those girls who are putting on make up for the purpose of hiding themselves and trying to create someone else. This is for them because I am them.
