My name is Lisa P. I live in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. I’m 40 something, married to my high-school sweetheart. I have a 20 year old daughter and an 18 year
old son. These three are my absolute
pride and joy!!
I work in the Government for an incredible leader who
inspires me daily. Work is not a chore
for me, although it can seem like it is on those long stressful days!
I try to exercise regularly and eat as well as I can. I’m by no means perfect but I try to do the
best I can for my body, cause it ain’t gettin’ any younger! I’m lucky my family regularly joins me at the
gym and I have an amazing group of gym buddies that challenge and inspire me!

quite by surprise
What will my blog be
about?
Things that I love… I’m obsessed about heaps of things and go
through obsessive phases. But it always seems to be about how things are styled
and presented. I care about my skin, how
my makeup looks, how my hair looks and how I put a look together. Basically I just want to be the best I can. When you’re in your 40s essentially
it’s now or never. I also care about how
I do things and how my house and my workspace is organised.
Who inspires me?
I watch a lot of YouTube, follow a lot of people on Instagram
and Facebook, read a lot of books, watch great movies (generally only Oscar
nominated ones) and follow beauty blogs.
My first (and foremost) obsession is skincare. For that I follow Caroline Hirons. I have learnt oodles from reading her blogs
and watching her YouTube channel. And
what I have learnt from her has improved the appearance and condition of skin
beyond measure. My only wish of course was
that I had started earlier.
My second obsession is makeup. For that I have quite a few people that I
follow – Sharon the Makeup Artist (Sharon Farrell)
Shameless Fripperies (Karima) and Miss Tango2 (Mel) and many,
many more. What I love most is that these
chicks are Aussie – go girls!
So what will I talk
about?
So I have a few ideas - wardrobe organisation
skincare routines and products
makeup I have
some of my photography
some of my photography
my love of travel and organising travel itineraries
diet and lifestyle tips
my parenting philosophies, my love of cars, how I feel about fitness and health, how to be IT organised and my love of storage. A bit of an eclectic list really.

Why am I doing all of
this?
I’m not at all focused on the number of followers I have but
rather I feel that I need a space to express myself, and how I live my
life. Perhaps it’s a journal or diary
but hopefully like-minded people will be interested and hopefully I can learn
something new from others. I’m not the
best photographer and certainly not the most experienced writer but I know that
what I will present will be honest and from the heart.
Why ‘Style by Lisa P’?
It’s hard to find a word that sums up my lifestyle or a view
on how I live my life but some people have said that I have a certain style, be
that colourful, courageous, out-there or just plain ridiculous – but it’s just
that – my style. It may be a copy of
this and a copy of that but when it’s all put together on me, it’s uniquely me!
I hope you enjoy.
