hi! my name is liv!!

Hey Lemon8 fam! So glad you stopped by! As you saw from my first post, I'm Liv, and I'm beyond excited to start sharing more of my life with all of you. It truly makes me happy to think we can connect and become friends here. I've been seeing so many amazing creators sharing their journeys, and I felt it was finally time for me to jump in and say hi, properly! Life has been a whirlwind lately, in the best possible way. One of the biggest updates is that I recently got married to my best friend! Seriously, he's my everything, and starting this new chapter with him has been an absolute dream. From quiet evenings at home to planning little adventures, every day feels special. It's that kind of joy that really fuels everything else I do. Speaking of 'everything else,' let's talk about my other big passion: nursing. I’m currently an LPN student, and wow, what a journey it's been! I actually took a semester off recently to breathe and regroup, but I can't wait to go back. The medical field is incredibly demanding, but it's also so rewarding. There's nothing quite like knowing you're making a difference in someone's life. It's a challenging path, balancing studies, clinicals, and personal life, but I’m committed to it. If any of you are in nursing school or have tips for staying sane, please drop them below! Beyond my studies and my wonderful husband, I have a few other things that bring a lot of happiness into my world. You know those people who love to craft, workout, and clean? Yep, that's me! There’s something incredibly therapeutic about getting lost in a creative project, feeling strong after a good workout, or having a sparkling clean home. These aren't just 'hobbies' for me; they're essential parts of my self-care routine that help me recharge and show up as my best self, both as a wife and a nursing student. And of course, I have to mention my absolute favorite tiny humans: my niece and nephew. Like, c'mon! They truly are some of my favorite people, and spending time with them fills my heart with so much joy. Whether we're building blanket forts or exploring outdoors, their laughter is simply the best sound. I know some of you might be looking for specific content, perhaps even some beauty tips (as I’ve seen some of you searching for Olivia Wright and beauty products!). While this post is all about getting to know the real me and my everyday life, I believe that feeling good on the inside – through a happy marriage, a meaningful career path, and fulfilling hobbies – is the ultimate beauty secret. I'm excited to share more of my personal journey here, and who knows, maybe my self-care routines or even a peek into my favorite everyday essentials will make an appearance down the line. For now, I just wanted to properly introduce myself and invite you to be part of my Lemon8 adventure. What makes your life shine? Let's chat in the comments!
