My name is Danasia. I’m a fun loving girl from the East Coast. I have an amazing boyfriend named David, and a beautiful puppy named Terror Jane.
I vowed that when I turned 25, it would be the year I’d truly start living life to the fullest. I vowed to learn something new as often as possible, and to find the beauty in everything. What better way to stay accountable to that than writing a blog about it?
In addition to blogging, I’ll be posting videos, articles and images that are at times somber and evocative, other times beautiful and hopeful.
Pictures on this blog are my own personal images, unless otherwise stated at the end of the post. If you want to use an image, just ask, I promise I will not bite:)
Also, if I have used one of your images and didn’t cite you properly, please let me know and I will fix it ASAP.
Nice to meet you, I absolutely love your hair. I am thinking of cutting mine again. I am adding you to my blog roll, looking forward to reading your post.
Cheryl
Thanks Cheryl! My boyfriend was the one who convinced me to shave it and I like it more than I ever thought I would. I’m glad I came across your site! Keep in touch,
Danasia
Awesome, he see your beauty from the inside out! Most def, lets keep in touch.
Some days I can’t write because I get very forgetful, and have bad headaches.
I definitely will!
Danasia (such a beautiful name), thank you for visiting my site and deciding to follow along. It’s lovely to find bread crumbs back to you.
Aww thanks Sandy! I really enjoy your blog! I can’t wait to see what you post next.
Love your blog Danasia – look forward to reading more from you! 🙂
Hi Danasia!
I love your vow, and your tag line ‘searching for the beauty in everything’, I believe it is the best way to find beauty. I’ll be happy to see the beauty you find 🙂
The Buddhist’s believe is to smile, it will bring positive thinking with it…
You’ve got an awesome smile
Thanks! I’m looking forward to following you!
Dear Danasia,
What a delight to stumble upon your lovely blog. I am enjoying reading it. Thanks for following mine and carpe diem!
Lorna
I’m glad you enjoy it! Good luck with the cross training!
Love the premise of your blog, you seem so positive! YAY! Cute pics too, btw.
I’m glad you like my blog!
Such a beautiful young lady! 25 is a magickal time, isn’t it? Hope to see you around St. Augustine soon. And when you come down, let me know so I can show you around.
Thanks! I’ll definitely let you know when we go there!
Hi Danasia! Nice hair, you’re just like my sister. 🙂
Anyway, thanks for visiting my site, because of that I discovered yours and I love it. Looking forward for more posts from you! 🙂
Thanks Marjorie! I really liked your site and I can’t wait to read more of your posts!
Gosh! To be 25 again with your spirit! I really like your vow and with your positivity I look forward to reading more. Also, thanks for stopping by my blog.
Thanks so much! Blogging has been awesome. I really loved your post on gratitude!
Thanks.
Hi Danasia, I’m so glad you stopped by oceannah! Hope you’ll visit again. I love that you are working at finding the beauty in each day. What a wise thing to do at a young age. Blessings on your journey. BTW…you have a gorgeous smile!! Keep in touch.

Thanks so much Anna! I really enjoyed reading your posts!
Hi Danasia, Thanks for liking my blog post! Glad you connected with it. It’s fun to discover your beautiful blog! Cheers
Thanks so much! I’m glad you like it!
You’re so young, only 25. I’m 35 (let’s keep that a secret) :+) but I remember feeling old at 25. As I said in my blog response to one of your posts, when you get closer to 40 you’ll gain even more confidence and put things into perspective, and the things that bothered you in your 20’s will seem like nothing.
I’ve heard that. I also believe the 30’s are the new 20’s and that 40 is a great age! I feel young and old all at once! Glad to know things truly do get better with age!
Thanks for the “like” on my incredibly LONG post “First Date Life and Death Drama”! 🙂
You caught my attention with talking about the first place you and your wife met. 🙂
I’m just glad that it wasn’t the first and last place that we met! Lol
Haha your life would probably be different if it was so its a good thing!
Hey thanks for following…I truly appreciate it. Best wishes to you, David, and Terror Jane (which your goin hafta share more about that name).
Be encouraged!
Of course! I can’t wait to read more of your posts! We rescued her and when we picked her up, they told us her name was Terror. Well although she doesn’t look it in the photo she’s 75 pounds and a force to be reckoned with. When we started introducing her as Terror people would get freaked out, so we decided to soften the blow by calling her Terror Jane… at this point she mostly just answers to Jane. It’s like she knows her original name was a fail. lol.
Hi Danasia, thank you so much for visiting my blog and liking it! ^^ I really appreciate. You have such a nice blog. I’m reading it and it’s makes me so happy. I hope to read lots and lots more about you! Keep up the good work. I’m following you on wordpress and also one your facebook fanpage! ^^
P.S. You look so much like a Dutch celebrity. You should google here Sylvana Simons 😉
Lots of love,
Daw
Aww thank you! And your site is too cute! I hope you post images of your dresses on there! I see that you have a facebook fan page! I liked it and from the dresses you have posted, I’m sure your business will do great, They are adorable! I googled Sylvana and thanks for saying I resemble her! She is gorgeous! I could only hope to look a little bit like her. How long have you been working in fashion?
Aaaww that is really sweet of you. You are so nice! I think you look a lot like her! Beauty is not only the outside but also the inside. And as I can read in your blog. You got it all!
I’m a newbie in the fashion. I always wanted my own company. With the idea in my head for over 3 years, I was a little scared to make something out of it. But last year july 2011 I just went and did it. I just did…with no plans, no money, no idea of how to handle all of this. But it just turning out good for now. You know what they say: “Life is full of chances and opportunities, but befor you can acomplish it you must dare to take risks” And so I did. I know that nobody could make your dreams come true beside yourself. You just need to take the risk, what do you have to lose 😉
Hi Danasia! So glad I found your site after you “liked” my post on Easy Does It packing for travel. I look forward to reading more of what you have to say, and I hope you will post often!
I’m glad I found your site!
Hi Danasia! So glad I found your site after you “liked” my Insider Travel Tip post on Easy Does It packing for travel.

Thank you for liking my post about image placement in WordPress. I enjoyed visiting your blog. I can really relate to your post about slacking on the blog posts. I find it difficult to take a moment to write a post when I am busy doing many other things at the same time.
It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who slacks on posting! Thanks for stopping by!
