She has written a handful of poetry books that creatively convey the journey of our emotions through thoughtful reflections and descriptions. She also writes non-fiction books that seek to elevate the modern woman's lifestyle through how-to advice on various discussions such as style, self-love, self-care, décor and other topics.

On a personal note, Mary-Lisa is a passionate reader and enjoys writing reviews she uploads on various platforms, (where applicable), such as her own website, as well as on Goodreads, NetGalley, TikTok and Amazon. Her home harbors a multitude of books she stores on many bookshelves and in every empty crevice she can find. (Yes, she trips over them from time to time.) Besides reading and writing, she enjoys rearranging her furniture and closet and believes living your best life involves creating a comfortable, luxurious living space that makes you happy.

Mary-Lisa is a proud Canadian with a weakness for potato chips, rose-gold fountain pens, and the scent of old, dusty books.

"Hello, Winter.
Here you are again...
your cold winds are knocking at my door.
Let's be friends... for this season
I want to be the epitome
of happiness, style & grace."

- Mary-Lisa Russo

Winter blues, chilly temperatures, gray skies, falling snow, slipping and sliding on ice, hibernating indoors...
I don't know about you, but I don't want to lose my sense of style, inner peace, and grace just because the winter season rolls along.

If we take a moment to listen, to close our eyes and feel the world communicate to us through sound and texture, wayward thoughts and naked emotions, we can feel the electricity that pulses beneath the surface of our skin ever so faintly... and this- is where poetry is born within the narrowest parts of our veins, igniting the quiet fire that lives within our hearts.
