About

Welcome to my blog Historically Obsessed! My name is Lizzie, I am a mother of three. I went to college for computer science, graphic design and I am a state licensed nail technician. I enjoy posting about fine art, music, royals, and anything else that catches my interest. My obsession with historical fiction started with the Tudor's and spread like wildfire to The War of the Roses, Revolutionary France, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Charles II, Mary Queen of Scots, and the Savoy Sisters just to name a few.
