THE LILYA MUSE | MEET LIZ

We first spotted Liz wearing a LILYA bucket hat in a photo shoot on the beach, and we were instantly drawn to her, a true LILYA muse, we knew we had to feature her in our own campaign. We loved meeting Liz whose natural beauty shines, a real girl who’s values align with the kind of woman, we at LILYA identify with. We sat down with Liz and asked her some questions after our AMOUR shoot. Read on and get to know the gorgeous Liz, we know you’ll love her as much as we do.

 I was born and raised in the small city of Lincoln, Nebraska in the United States. I began my modeling journey my senior year in high school at the suggestion of my cousin, ever since then I fell in love with modeling and it’s taken me around the world. One of my favorite places to visit would be South Dakota, a state in the Midwest of the United States. Visiting here connects me with my family and my culture, as a Native American, indigenous to the states, returning to South Dakota reconnects me to my roots. I always leave here feeling refreshed and at peace.

Another one of my favorite places to visit is Bali, Indonesia where I currently live. This country is full of beautiful nature, from the mountains to the beaches you can find it all. India is another place I’ve visited and fell in love with. Everywhere we went the food was absolutely divine, and everyone there is so kind and welcoming. 
I have been to Australia before, I went on a holiday to visit my cousin who was living there at the time. We traveled to Sydney and to Cairns. My favorite place I visited was Cairns, we went to scuba dive the Great Barrier Reef which is stunning, even though I got incredibly sea sick. My favorite thing I did while I was there is visit a local market in Cairns where I got to try lots of different local fruits. I had durian for the first time, and also had a peanut butter fruit, which did taste exactly like peanut butter!
Fitness and health is an ever changing journey for me, one thing that is most important to me is to get my body moving in some way every day. I love to go for daily walks on the beach, and on the days I can’t make it there I’ll go to the gym and do some light weight training. I make sure to do yoga every day, it keeps my body energised and my mind refreshed. Health is also a key factor in my life, I love to eat fresh and natural foods throughout my day. But I do love a good burger and fries, so you’ll often see those in my meals as well.
Skincare is very important to me, I do my skincare routine morning and night. In my routine I use Cerave face wash, moisturizer and sunscreen during the day. I also use an all natural 24k gold serum morning and night, and an all natural cleansing balm from Acaya Care. 
My current favorite scent is Daisy by Marc Jacobs, I also like to wear amber oil as a fragrance. 
I can’t live without my water bottle. My water bottle comes with me everywhere I go! 
My family is very important to me, I have 4 sisters who mean the world to me. My extended family is very big as well, no matter where I am in the world I always find time to video chat with them all. I'm so grateful!
