Meet Alicia Wood of The Lush List - A Dallas Lifestyle Expert

Meet Alicia

Alicia Wood Lifestyle is a lifestyle destination with classic flair for everyday living written by Alicia Wood. Alicia’s goal is to create a timeless yet fresh way to approach personal style, entertaining, beauty, design and even travel.

A self-described “List Maker Extraordinaire,” Alicia Wood Lifestyle is where Alicia shares her lists of style ideas, recipes, entertaining ideas, travel tips and great sales.

For years friends said, “You should start a blog about ____!” (Fill in the blank with Travel, Personal Style, Cooking, Entertaining, Food Allergies/Gluten Free Options, Interior Design, Clean Beauty products that enhance our lives not harm our health, etc). In 2014, I finally stepped out on faith that I should share all my thoughts on these topics.

I love creating opportunities for family time and sweet memories. Entertaining at home and family travel are my favorite ways to do this for my family. I hope that what I share inspires you to do the same.

I would not be able to do what I do without my wonderful team that helps me with so many aspects of running Alicia Wood Lifestyle! I’m excited to introduce then to you below.

My heart has always been to help others – through volunteering in my community, researching a topic and sharing information. I hope this space does just that while allowing me to use my gifts from the Lord of hospitality and administration and fulfills my passions, too.
