Boketto Moment with Elizabeth Thomas of Elizabeth Eats
I remember meeting Elizabeth for the first time when her and a friend drove down from Virginia Beach for facials. Elizabeth's bright smile, shining hair, and sweet demeanor brought light into the shop— and she continues to do so every time she graces us with a visit. Don't be fooled by her youth, Elizabeth is a business-minded entrepreneur at Virginia Tech who is well into her wellness journey, recently having launched her nut-butter company, Elizabeth Eats. Elizabeth has truly found her niche, making a healthy and active lifestyle fun and accessible for all. We wouldn't be surprised to find Elizabeth in the footsteps of other health gurus, as she reminds us of Rachelle Robinett and the girls behind LAKA Living!...
