about

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 like all the other blogs I read daily, but I held myself back for a long time before proceeding with making one. 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 alot of thinking 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. 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 27

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'm a Vanilla Person, I so have a Vanilla Life! I’m a Vanilla Girl and I’m 100% okay with that. I thought that would 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 represent 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.

Lifestyle Section, what can I expect from this section of the blog? I am choosing to post anything I am feeling passionate on writing about at that time in my life. (E.g.), life memories, goals, dreams, aspirations, lessons learned, motivation, “girl talk”, traveling, family, “real life chats” and day to day happenings. I hope this section to be the heart of my blog where I can express myself in an open forum and share my life and thoughts. Please feel free to comment on these postings as I would love to hear from you and make myself some cyber friends! Thanks for reading & stopping by.
