LIZLIZWILD. YOUR ULTIMATE TRAVEL, FASHION, AND LIFESTYLE INSPIRATION.
Lizlizwild (adapted from my name, Elizabeth Wilding) is what I nicknamed my life and my own personal brand. On this blog, I share travel stories, outfit ideas, and lifestyle content to help you feel inspired to create your own brand for your life. My goal is to help you romanticize every moment so that you wake up and go to bed feeling inspired.

Take the road less traveled
Be spontaneous. My friends and I decided last minute while in Colorado to take a day trip to Wyoming to cross another state off our bucket list. It was such a surreal experience driving through mountains and plains, with nothing but the open road ahead of us. We pulled over to the side of the road to take pictures because we couldn't believe the view was real!! You don't always have to have every aspect of life planned out, sometimes the best of things come when you don't plan at all.
Get creative
Allow yourself the space to be creative, whether that is baking, painting, writing. I have always struggled with anxiety and engaging in hobbies that involve using my hands has helped me tremendously focus on the moment at hand, instead of worrying about the future.
Connect with one another
God intended for us to live in community with others. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 says this, "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken". Human connection is what keeps us going, through the good days and bad.
Try new things
A character trait I prayed my future spouse would have is to love to try new things - food being one of them! I got so lucky that my boyfriend wants to have new experiences just as I do, and one of my favorite days together was eating our way through Chinatown in Chicago! Always go through life with an open mind and a willingness to learn from one another.
Love with all your heart
John 15:12 says this, "My command to you is this: Love each other as I have loved you". Loneliness is an epidemic, but love is free. Have grace with everyone for you do not know what one another has heavy on their mind and heart. If you get the chance to sit it out or dance....I hope you dance. Be quick to forgive and don't be afraid to love.
Make memories
The day I stopped caring about what other people thought of me is the day I laughed harder, set higher goals and actually achieved them, and lived life with a passion to make memories. My friend Maddie and I always dreamed of dancing in the streets of Barcelona to the song Barcelona by Ed Sheeran (here is a picture of us practicing!), and in 2023, we made that dream a reality. I don't have a picture or video evidence of us dancing in the streets of Barcelona, but I have the best memory of it. Memories are something that no one can take from you.
Find yourself and be exactly that
It took me a long time to find who I was, what made me happy, and the distance between who I am now and who I want to be. I gave myself such high expectations and felt disappointed when life didn't turn out exactly how I thought it would. Give yourself some grace and allow yourself to dream in the now - what is in my control now and what can I pray for in the future? Do some soul searching to figure out what YOU are passionate about. Set goals that YOU want to achieve.
The year of 'yes'
Make this the year of yes! Say yes to plans, say yes to new adventures, say yes to trying new things. I want my kids to look at pictures of me when I was young and say, "wow, mom was so cool!!". I want to look back at my life and have no regrets, because I do have a lot of regrets from how I lived my life in high school, in college. I wish I would've done more and gotten more involved.
Live life to the fullest
Everyday is a blessing and every season in life is to be enjoyed because you will never get the chance to experience it again. Quinn XCII sings, "we can't make a little more time the way we can make money". Book. The. Trip.
