20 questions | Get to know Danielle #1

I've been back blogging for about 2 months now and I'm really enjoying it. So I thought it's time for you to get to know me a little bit. Let's get started on these questions.

Favorite Coffee Table Books

I love coffee table books. They are pretty to look at and they add a bit of flair to your coffee table. Actually, you can put them wherever you want not just on your coffee table. They have all types: art, places around the world, entertainment, photography, fashion even about animals. Even Kim Kardashian has a selfie coffee table book. My favorites are fashion, animals, and travel.

2017 Fall Paris Fashion Week: Elie Saab - Poetry In Motion

This weekend in Paris Elie Saab had his Paris Fashion Week runway show. All I can say is WOW! Sometimes I can be a girly-girl and this show really pulled it out of me. So many beautiful  pieces. I wish I was there to see them. One day Danielle.  The mix of super feminine with the furs & lace and a bit of rocker with the leather. Can't forget about the capes and the handbags. It really was poetry in motion. But anyway! Here are a few of my favorites:

Home decor Ideas

For the past few months I've been planning my move. I've been looking at SO many apartments around LA but my goal is to move downtown. I love downtown. You're literally in the city. There is so many restaurants, stores, etc to explore. I can't wait. Just writing this and imagining my life down there is getting me super excited.

So with planning my move of course I'm decorating my apartment in my head and on my Pinterest board haha. In my last apartment I wanted a blueish grey walls, with chrome and glass. I still kind of want that but now since rose gold has gotten popular with home decor I want that.

Favorite Rainy Day Activities

Hey

It's been storming like crazy in LA this weekend. They say more rain is coming too. I love rainy days when I can stay home. Especially on my days off. Here are some of my favorite activities I like to do when it's raining.

Super Easy DIY Brush Cleaner

Hey!

I'm a big fan of Pinterest. I love looking at the DIY hacks. I came across this pin about cleaning your make-up brushes. It's so easy and fast. Every time I need to clean my brushes I do this method.

Handbag Wishlist Feb 2017

I'm a handbag lover. For as long as I remember going into stores and going straight to the purse section. In 8th grade my love for handbags really blossomed.

Is emotional vulnerability a bad thing?

Hey!

Have you ever hid your feelings for someone that you really really like so you wouldn't be vulnerable making you think you lost your power? I have. I have feelings for someone but I haven't been able to express them because of fear of vulnerability. I didn't know I had this problem.

Looking back I was really shut off to this person. I was scared they would reject me like so many in the past. So when this special person came around I was completely shut off / scared to show how I really felt. So I ran or just acted like they didn't mean much to me. But in reality they mean a lot to me. When I look back I wish I could have changed a lot of things. I would have gave bigger and tighter hugs or a nice smile and a hello. From now on I will be in the moment and not carry the weight of the past. And allow myself to be vulnerable because it can open the door to great things and greater love.

I love: Rose Gold

Hey!

My love for rose gold goes deep. I have loved it ever since I first saw it. Now that rose gold is so trendy it's everywhere and I am so happy. I have a few pieces of rose gold jewelry. But this past season I saw it everywhere! In shoes, clothes, home decor, even hair color.

I love to be comfortable and I love my sneakers. So when I saw that the have sneakers in rose gold I was so happy! Next time I go shoe shopping I know what i'm going to get! Imagine a black shirt and jeans with a pop of rose gold on your feet whoo! How many times have I said rose gold in this post? Probably a lot hahaha

How to get e-books for free or really cheap

I love to read and over the summer I got a e-reader. I don't know why I didn't get one earlier. But anyway. I love how easy it is to find and get new books without having to lug them around. Plus e-books are cheaper than print books most the time.

Now I love a deal so when I found Bookbub I was so happy because they have thousands of books for free or extremely cheap. I have been using them since I got my e-reader and I have not regret it. I get e-mails daily about what books are free or on sale and I love looking through it.

There books are compatible with most e-readers if not all e-readers. They have all types of book categories from "chick lit" to "science fiction"  This post is not sponsored I just love this site and wanted to tell my readers about it.
