GET TO KNOW

I’m Dani Leigh, fashion, beauty and blog obsessed, but mostly I just watch Netflix on the couch.

 

My personal resume would read:

Total goober when I'm overtired

Fluent in “Movie Quotes”

Totally obsessed over protective auntie and sister

Movie and Music enthusiast ….and…Dinosaur obsessed

Comedian (my family disagrees)

Worrier and sometimes procrastinator……… (the sometimes part was a lie)

Day Dreamer and Star Gazer

 

I started The Vanilla Life after being blog obsessed for years, I wanted to express myself in a blog too, but I held myself back for a long time before going through with it. I looked at all of these beautifully artistic and successful blogs and thought why would I even try, I am nothing compared to their amazing life styles. After a long process of thinking and learning many life lessons I decided my blog didn’t have to be like the others I loved so much, it could just be mine and if anyone happened to read it and like it, that would make my day, but in the end it’s okay to be, as long as I tried to do things I love. I lead a very normal (Vanilla) Life and its worth sharing because that is something I love to do (sharing). I love my Vanilla Life, and I hope you will too.

 

FAQ:

Full Name: Danica, Nickname: Dani Leigh

Where do you live? I live in Alberta, Canada in a town with snow over 7 months of the year!

How old are you? I am 26

Are you married? Kids? Siblings? No I am not married, but in a committed long-time relationship to my best friend, that’s all I’ll say for now as he’s shy. No, no children. Yes siblings, I have two beautiful sisters.

What does The Vanilla Life mean? Where did the name stem from? Time to fess up, years ago watching the TV Show “The Hills” (plz. tell me I’m not alone in loving it at a time) and hearing Kristin say the term “Vanilla” in reference to someone not as exciting as others. I always said I so have a Vanilla Life! I’m a Vanilla Girl and I’m 100% okay with that. I thought that be the perfect way to keep my blog true to who I am by using that as its name, as I want my blog to read as me in hopes to let other girls know, just because you live a very normal life or “Vanilla Life”, doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with that. I have learned to try not to compare but embrace and enjoy my life, (I’m trying). I hope you will too.
