About

Hi there!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I’m Maurianna—founder and creator of Anna Elle Liz, a space dedicated to embracing the beauty of real life: the highs, the lows, and all the in-between moments that shape us. At 30, I’ve come to appreciate that life isn’t about perfection—it’s about growth, resilience, and finding meaning in both the joyful and the challenging seasons.

Here, you’ll find a thoughtful mix of style, beauty, wellness, and faith—each woven together with the intention of helping us live more authentically and fully. From fashion and beauty that spark confidence and self-expression, to faith reflections that offer grounding and perspective, this is a space for inspiration that speaks to both the inner and outer self.

But it’s more than that. Anna Elle Liz is about living with intention—creating a lifestyle that feels aligned with who we truly are. It’s about prioritizing wellness in ways that nourish both body and mind, celebrating small everyday joys, and learning from the bigger lessons life sends our way. Through personal stories, encouragement, and practical tips, I hope to offer content that resonates with where you are, while reminding you that growth and grace can coexist with ambition and self-discovery.

At its core, this space is about honoring life’s imperfect progress. It’s not about having it all figured out—it’s about showing up for ourselves, embracing the journey, and finding peace, purpose, and joy along the way.

So pour yourself a cup of coffee (or tea) and settle in. I’m glad you’re here, and I can’t wait to share this journey with you—one real, intentional, and beautiful step at a time.. 💖

A little bit about me…

• I’m NYC born and raised, but a big piece of my heart belongs to North Carolina, thanks to my college days at UNC-Chapel Hill (Go Heels! 🐏) and family spread across the South.

• I’m 30, though some days I feel like I’m 40—where does the time go? That’s part of the beauty of life: we’re all just figuring out the in-between moments, which is exactly why I started this blog.

• I love romanticizing life and celebrating small moments: a quiet sunrise, a cozy cup of tea, or a handwritten note that makes my day feel a little brighter.

• Currently, my hobbies are a bit all over the place (but isn’t that life?). You’ll catch me blogging my heart out, working on my fitness goals, deepening my spiritual journey with God, and hunting down the perfect home decor deals. Yep, if anyone from @Target, @HomeGoods, or @Marshalls is reading this – I’m more than happy to be your brand ambassador. Sponsorships always welcome!

• I embrace the hard moments—the “suck”—and look inward when the world gets too loud, journaling, reflecting, or just taking time to reset and reconnect..

• I keep a “life list” of experiences I can’t wait to try—focused on living in the moment, from quiet adventures to thrilling firsts like skydiving or ziplining (totally out of character for me, but c’est la vie!).

• I’m a believer in progress over perfection—finding joy in the journey, learning from the twists and turns, and celebrating growth in all its imperfect forms.
