About Me
Hi, I’m Daniella! Firstly I am filled with gratitude for your presence here and I love that you’ve stopped by to get to know me a little more. I’m not good at keeping it short and sweet, regardless of how much I’ve tried, I’m a talker, blame it on my gemini moon! I started blogging over ten years ago, right in the middle of the blogging boom and I found some success in doing so, mostly because it gave me a sense of purpose, something I hadn’t really ever felt before. But then about three years ago, I decided to have a break, I’m a mum to a beautiful girl but I’m also her carer, she has autism and has a lot of care needs. I was tired and lacking in motivation for my blog, so I took a break but continued posting to instagram and Pinterest. Recently I began longing for a space, that I could put a little more of my soul into and so I have decided to begin blogging again. A little more about me, life has been far from stereotypical, at the age of eleven I had to leave education due to being diagnosed with M.E, I was really very sick with it and had no idea how it would continue to play a significant role in almost every area of my life. For a long time I really wanted to escape this, refusing to be defined by what is considered a disability but now I’m more comfortable and accepting in this part of me and how it has actually served a fundamental role in healing parts of me, that would have undoubtedly continued on for yet at least another generation. Living and managing a condition like this has been and continues to be learning process, full of ups, downs and unpredictable moments but I believe what it has taught me, is a part of my life purpose and I hope I can pay some of that knowledge forward here on my blog.
Due to the condition I have learned to live and move with, having the privilege of having a job of a career hasn’t, as of yet, been part of Gods plan, I think this reflected my sense of purpose for a long time. One of the first things that gave me a sense of purpose was my interest in fashion and style. I loved clothes, always have and I enjoyed creating looks and soon enough I began documenting them with a camera, and it was this that eventually lead me to blogging. Curating my style and putting together outfits has and continues to be something close to my heart. It’s a creative outlet for me, a joy that I look forward to as and when I have the energy for it and though my style isn’t particularly unique or showy, learning my style has been what I consider to be a craft that I have loved developing, nurturing and discovering. Though style is personal and whether it is considered “good” or not is subjective, using this blog as a platform to share my outfits, my taste and the wisdom I have learnt along the way, feels instinctive and serendipitous to me right now.
More about me, as I briefly mentioned, I’m a mummy to a beautiful little girl, who came into our lives and turned me upside down and inside out. Before I became a mum, I became a young, hands on auntie (we lived together) and having my two nephews and then my daughter changed me forever, I know that sounds cliche but it really did imapact my life, in ways I couldn’t even imagine before them. I’ve learned a lot through my experience with nurturing my nephews and daughter and I undoubtedly am yet to learn a lot more.
