Hi there! My name is Danielle (or D), and I am a 33-year-old, UNnatural blonde (don’t tell anyone though). Through years of experimenting with hair color, I have determined that I absolutely do have more fun as a blonde…or at least a partial blonde.

My husband Vinnie (or V) and I met on 12/12/2020 and got married on 02/20/22. (Two definitely seems to be a lucky number for us.) V is genuinely the kindest soul I have ever met, and it blows my mind that my sassy little southern ass gets to call him mine. It took us a very long time to find each other (I was 30 and V was 28 when we met), but it was totally worth the wait. I’m sure he’ll be showing his face around here every now and then. He’s got a pretty cute face if I do say so myself.

We live in a little country cottage (Belle Hue Cottage) in the Southern US that belonged to my grandparents. It’s really Koko’s house…we just live here. Koko Marie a.k.a “Puff” is our Pomeranian diva. She is SASSY and very antisocial like her Mama, but her bark is definitely worse than her bite. Her love can be bought in the form of snacks. You’ll be seeing (and probably hearing) a lot of her if you follow along on Instagram and/or TikTok.

I suffer from both anxiety and depression, which is actually the reason I was inspired to start this blog. Unfortunately dealing with these illnesses can involve a lot of trial and error, but I have an amazing doctor who has worked with me over the past several years to find just the right combination of medications. I’ll be sharing the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to my mental health because I think it’s SO important.

I’m an Enneagram Type 4 and probably the biggest introvert you’ll ever meet. I’m a Gemini through and through and very proud of it. I love organizing and decorating and of course writing. I also love reading and watching reality TV…I’ll never understand why I have to pay for cable with all these channels, when I only want one (Bravo). Lastly, french fries are my favorite food and queso is my love language. I actually recently discovered it’s words of affirmation, but with a side of queso? Yes, please.

I’m so happy you’re here!!
