Allow Me To Introduce Myself

I figured since I’m starting this thing I should probably take a minute to introduce myself. My name is Danica, yes, like the race car driver. I grew up in San Diego and have moved quite bit since I was 21 but now reside in Phoenix, Arizona.  I feel I’ve lived a pretty interesting life with all the normal bumps and bruises and then some, but also, I’ve had some amazing experiences. Something I’m working on and will share more of is how I’ve struggled to walk that fine line of being cocky and confident and not giving a flying you know what about what anyone else thinks of me. I’ll talk about  my body issues and how I know I’m a work in progress, like we all are, and to let others know they are not alone.

This blog is really a place for me to get down n dirty, a little personal, and share the good and the bad in hopes of touching another and finding others to relate with. I’ll be sharing stories of growing up with a single mom, to becoming a single mom. From abusive relationships and figuring my way out of them to living in the LDS bubble for a short time and really discovering who and what I am. I know it sounds like I'm potentially throwing a pity party but I promise I always add a positive spin and what I've learned from it. Because without hope and a positive perspective, what can we really get out of life?

Amongst personal life experiences I want to share some fashion, beauty, maybe books I’ve come to love and let’s be honest, above alllll else I’m a huge foodie so I’ll be sharing the best local spots around. After all, my 9-5 job is in the food industry so I should know a little somethin’!

So with that all being said, please subscribe, please leave comments along the way, share with me your experiences, ideas, testimonials etc. This is not just about me but about bringing people together.
