Welcome to Life with Lisa!

This past few weeks have been absolutely crazy, busy and fun! My birthday was the end of October and was amazing; even though I did have school.

Waking up on your birthday at six in the morning, to a chocolate peanut butter ice cream cake, and your favourite coffee is the best thing I could even ask for.

With my mom not feeling well on my actually birthday, I didn’t do too much. She did have breakfast with me, and stayed on the phone when my dad called to wish me a happy birthday. Instead, I spent the day with my close friends, and Joshua, with his family. I had a delicious dinner (stuffed peppers, yum!) and fun day!

The next day, my mom was feeling a bit better, so we decided to make it a girl day, and go out to shop. When I’m not reading, or doing homework, I’m
usually shopping, or thinking about shopping; so yes, I was excited to go! Afterwards we headed to one of my favourite Italian restaurants and had an amazing dinner!

In the end of the day, I had the best birthday, and wouldn’t change a thing if I could! I spent it doing some of my favourite things with some of my favourite people. I love them all, and thank you if you wished me a happy birthday, it means the world to me! 🙂

Welcome to Life with Lisa!

This weekend, I visited a local pumpkin patch, just a few miles away! I’ve never really been to onesince I usually just pick up my pumpkin at the nearest grocery store. But after going to this farm, and doing all the fun things we did, I’ll never just be “picking up a pumpkin real quick”.

While searching up a few farms online (I mean I had absolutely no idea where one was), I did find that a few different farms had different things to offer such as a corn maze, a haunted corn maze, a petting farm, a hay ride, a pumpkin patch, a place for the kids, and a store to buy other things. The farm with the haunted corn maze was almost thirty minutes away.

(But I still really want to go!)

On arrival at the farm, we had to buy wrist bands, that basically let the workers there know what package of activities we bought, and what we were allowed to do.

First thing we did was hope on the hay ride, which wasn’t too long, but it was still nice because it took us all around the farm, and it was pretty chilly out. After about ten or fifteen minutes it took us to the corn maze, where inside we had to find the meaning of nine hieroglyphics, which were each placed throughout this HUGE corn maze!

Since the farm was closing at six, and we got there at five we did have to a bit of hurry, so right after the corn maze, we headed to the pumpkin patch, and choose our pumpkins. In the end we bought two big pumpkins, and two small ones, and only payed around 11 dollars.

This was the first year of going to a farm and doing things like this, but I hope to do it every year from now on. It is so much fun, for anyone of any age, and there is so much to do!

Welcome to another Life with Lisa!

Growing up, I would always look forward to October, not only because of my Birthday, but because of the best holiday ever! What is better than dressing up as whatever you could possibly imagine, walking from door to door, with a group of your closest friends, saying nothing but three words, and receiving a hand full of candy!

Around the age of ten, I remember having dinner early (usually something healthy, since I’d be stuffing my face with candy later that night), and hurrying to finish my entire plate. I would quickly change into my costume (one year a alien, another a cow girl, and the most recent a lady bug), and grab my treat bag. Around five or six, I would dash out of my house and start with with my neighbour.

As soon as the door open I would simply shout “Trick or Treaaaat!”, and my neighbour would hand me four or five pieces of candy!

What’s better than that?!

So I hope you all have a great Halloween! And be safe!

Welcome to another episode of Liiiiiife with Liiiisa!! Hosted by Lisa herself!

Thank you, thank you!

We all know that the holidays are coming up fast, and that means, delicious food, family and friends, fun, gifts, decorations, and so much more! I LOVE the summer, I love laying out in the middle of the day reading a book, with my two dogs right next two me, enjoying the warm sun, and just being outside. But I also really enjoy the fall and winter time! There is so much to look forward to, and this month I’m letting you in on all the things I have planned, with the fall, Halloween and my birthday coming up!

(And this post itself, is just to let you know of the fun things and Life with Lisas coming up!)

Usually I wouldn’t plan out all the things I do, because usually they’re just a spur of the moment. But this year I did, so I could share with you guys, and maybe give you a few ideas for the holidays (:

So here are the posts and what I hope to include in each:

-Trick or Treating/Costume (The meaning of Halloween, Trick or Treating, and Costume Ideas)

-Haunted House (Haunted Houses and possibly Pumpkin Patches, I plan on going to)

-Carving Pumpkins/Decorating (Pumpkin purchasing, carving, designs, and decorating my back porch!)

-Baking/Goodies (3 Dessert Recipes, possibly goodie bags!)

–My Birthday (Anything! My cake, dinner, gifts, what my family, friends and boyfriend has planned, etc)

I hope you’ll be joining me in this crazy busy month, and maybe get a few ideas from these next few Life with Lisa segments! If you have any other ideas, for posts, or things I could add to posts, please let me know down in the comments!

October is here and if you go to high school you know what that means…Football and Homecoming! It doesn’t matter if you have a date to Homecoming or not, just go, have fun, and dance!! Here’s a simple check-list and a few ideas, for any girl planning on going to Homecoming!

Dress: There are tons of dresses, in all colours, sizes and price ranges! I recommend going shopping early to get the best selection. I know dress shopping can be difficult and frustrating, but keep calm, and try on as many dresses as possible. That way you’ll know what you want and what you don’t want in a dress.

Shoes: Shoes are the second most important thing about your entire look, it pulls everything together! But what kind of shoes should you wear? Heels? Flats? Well, if you’ve never wore any heels, I would recommend either flats or small heels. You’re going to be dancing you behind off, you don’t want to ruin the fun with not being able to walk or your feet hurting and blistering.

Accessories: Are another large part of your outfit. If you want a statement piece, wear a big necklace, or big earrings. If you want to keep things simple, wear studs and a small meaningful chain! Accessories are perfect to fancy up a plain dress!

Hair: Have fun or just keep it simple, it’s up to you! You could straighten or curl it or even do something different like this!

Make-up: The biggest tip I can give you, is don’t wait til the last minute to think of or do your make up. Decide what you want to do ahead of time, and practice!

Nails: I recommend doing something cute with your nails. You can get them done, do them at home, make them match your dress, or even have them stand out by making them a different colour. As long as you have something done with them, it will really take your look to the next level!

And lastly, Shaving and Scent: You’ll have a short dress on, you want to have smooth and silky legs, especially when taking pictures! And you’ll be on the dance floor all night, its important to wear some deodorant, and stay smelling fresh!
