For as long as I can remember I have been interested in leading a healthy lifestyle that includes lots of outdoor activities, delicious, healthy food (I love to cook), and in experiencing as much as I can out of life. As a nature lover and hiker, my idea of the perfect vacation or local trek is to find a new nature adventure and explore the best hikes amongst all of the beauty! I was also interested in learning more about animal welfare and the issues of farmed animals. As I became more informed, I made the decision to change to a plant-based diet and lead a vegan lifestyle. This has been one of the best decisions that I have made for myself, the animals, and the environment. I also received my degree in Food and Nutrition. Another decision that I am very happy about making is launching my own vegan skincare line, Liz Carolina Skin Care. I decided to start my company after years of being frustrated with the available skincare options. Being a label reader and looking for vegan skincare was not easy, and if I did come across a few vegan products they were either not rich enough, too greasy or had a sticky feel, and usually contained fragrances and questionable ingredients that I was not keen on putting on my skin. So I decided to do the hard work and provide cruelty-free, fragrance-free, vegan skincare with responsibly sourced, high-quality ingredients that feel great on and are wonderful for the skin. I feel that each one of us can make a difference in some way.
