That is all, and good day!

"When and where does this real world occur?"

So right now I'm in LA doing some freelance work for a company out here. Apparently I do freelance work now. I'm helping launch a brand that is doing a crowd funding campaign with kickstarter and helping with social media to spread the word. It's really been a lot of fun just a lot of logged hours on the computer. This is the first time I've been back to LA since I moved too. It was weird but I was super anxious about it. I wasn't exactly sure why and then I realized that when I left it was so abruptly that I never fully dealt with anything. I had a bad living situation and with money and my happiness being compromised, I knew I had to come back home. 

  

Now it's ten days later and I'm getting ready to drive back to Vegas tomorrow.I've had such an amazing time here. I'm currently laying on my friend Hilary's couch and I'm realizing how much I miss LA. Now since I left the restaurant, I've been doing work for a marketing company in Las Vegas and I've definitely failed to get a real job. I'm lacking on not being apart of the regular work force. I have this constant battle in my head of living in Las Vegas or somewhere else. I have realized that I'm more motivated in LA. I definitely always have been and that's due to wherever you go, you see the hustle off millions of people trying to make it. So many people move here to follow their dreams and even though they aren't mine, (I'm sure people, me, an actress? LOLs) it's inspiring to me. I cannot and will not hate on the hustle. So with that being said, I must up my hustle. Stay tuned to see what happens.

Happy Friday the 13th, bitches!!

Hello lovely internet friends, 

today is one of my favorite days..Friday the 13th! which makes this weeks Babe Friday even better than normal. Just because this day brings special magic..duh. 

So I just finally decided to get serious with my life and give Breaking Bad another try. 

[I'm obsessed b.t.w]

So obvvvviously this weeks babe was bound to be the painfully adorable Jesse Pinkman a.k.a Aaron Paul.

Enjoy, lovies!

 xo,

Free Bird.

My head feels a lot like hurricane katrina is happening inside of it lately.

my life is a crazy mixed-up pile of things that are new and different. I'm learning so much about myself. For instance, I recently quit my job of 3.5 years to take a chance on a new and exciting opportunity with a new company. I never thought that would happen. especially not at this time in my life. It's scary. and challenging. and just what I need. 

So far the latter half of 2013 has pretty much decided to flip my world upside down. I can't decide most days if its the best thing thats ever happened to me, or the scariest. Maybe its both. I can't explain it, but...

All I know is I feel free. Free to make mistakes. Free to question everything. Free to just worry about only me and no one else right now. Free to date 22 yr olds and call myself a cougar for a couple weeks, and then get rejected by said 22 yr old for another girl. that's a story for the books, my friends. free to go to my friends weddings, drink so much that I question how I didn't spend the night puking, dance till I can't dance anymore, and hook up with a guy I just met and do the walk of shame in a hotel hallway at 8am, still drunk. And free to feel things for people I just met [at weddings] that I shouldn't!!! Because it's my fucking life and I don't have to answer to anyone but myself!!! 

I am truly terrified, and beyond excited to see where this life takes me. I am open to anything. I am cherishing every new experience, every new friend made, every situation I am in thats new to me, that ends up being amazing and making me feel grateful about the life I have. and the friends I have. and the opportunities that present themselves at the craziest times. 

Because even after all this time, i still/always will believe, no matter how rough things seem to be, that everything happens when and how its supposed to. always.

as Joe Dirt so eloquently put it..."Life's a garden, Dig it!"

Danielle.

Happy Baber Day weekend.

I must apologize, yet again, for missing Babe Friday. 

As i'm sure you are all aware...It's wedding season! So I spent my friday dancing my ass off, drinking wayyyy too much,  and crying tears of joy at my friends Jenny & Scott's amazing wedding. 

Lets get to the reason you all are here...

This weeks babe is my no-nonsense, kick-ass, wickedly funny, super sexy girl crush....Olivia Wilde.

Not only is this babe super successful, but she's pretty smart, too.  She is also quite the political activist and is a board member for Artists for Peace and Justice, which provides health and educations services to people in Haiti. AND she is engaged to my man crush, the hilarious and handsome Jason Sudeikis.

Girl does it all!!!*

And let us all never forget, she was Marissa Copper's hot girlfriend on The O.C.

*She also just did an AMA on Reddit that you should check out if you have a chance.

[ and she likes beer.. swoon]

*and wrote this perfect article about turning 30 for Glamour Magazine.

So cheers to you, Olivia Wilde.

Danielle

I don't know about you...

But I'm feeling 22. 

This is pretty much my most recent run in with the male species,in a nutshell.

DIY flower headband.

So i'm going to a wedding next weekend, and I wanted something fun to wear. I got a pretty plain black dress and decided I wanted to add the fun factor with a floral headband. So I scoured the internet for the best DIY tutorial, and got started...

Now that i'm finished, I decided to make my own tutorial to share with you what no other tutorial wants to share with you...THIS SHIT IS HARD!!!

Let's get started, shall we?!

Ok, so for the materials I went to Michaels. They had everything I needed and a pretty good selection of fake flowers. 

Here's what you need:

1. Whatever fake flowers you want.

2. Floral Tape.

3. Floral Wire.

4. Pliers. (not pictured cause i'm an IDIOT and didn't use them.)

5. Wire Cutters.

 This project took me about 1.5 hours to complete, and $20 for materials. 

Step 1:

measure the wire to fit your head how you'd want to wear it. [headband, crown, etc.]  then times that by about 3 so you have enough wire to wrap around the circle.* 

*this part fucking SUCKS. they don't tell you this in those super easy sounding DIY tutorials. It took me about an hour to wrap the wire, and my fingers now feel like I was just holding hands with Edward Scissorhands at a middle school dance.

Step 2:

cut down the fake flowers  to be just under the flower  part with a little extra plastic to wrap. Layer the flowers however looks good to you. wrap each flower with the floral wire. [if you don't want to repeatedly stab yourself the whole time, use pliers.]

Step 3:

Once you have all the flowers wrapped and looking how want, use the floral tape to wrap the ends of the wires.

*you can wrap the tape all the way around if you want to make it look a little cleaner.

Step 4:

You're done! try it on for size and to see if you need to add any flowers in.

I'll blog some pics from the wedding and my outfit all together for you guys next weekend!!

Have a good week!

xo,

Danielle.

         

Sometimes you gotta just jump back out there...

 You guys...I'm starting to date again and it's getting serious. We've been hanging out a lot,pretty consistenly. 4 nights a week and we stay the night together sometimes too. We laugh,cry and enjoy music together which is super important to me. It seems like for once in my life, I'm really being understood and I never feel like I'm let down....HBO Go, thank you for being there for me and giving me Entourage,The Wire,How to Make it America and Big Love. I really feel like this could go somewhere. I'm excited to see our future together. 

xo,

Kat

TGIB...S?

Obviously my life has been a litttttle bit hectic as of late, so hectic in fact, that Friday came, and went, and I honestly wouldn't have even thought twice about it if Kat hadn't texted me and said "D..babe friday? its almost Sunday!"

I apologize for slacking on the eye candy, my friends.

This weeks babe is someone who is my current leg workout inspiration..

Her legs are about to be gracing my vision board...

and as I've tweeted before...they should have their own cult following...Not only does this country babe have the best gams in all the land...she's real easy on the eyes...so enjoy yourselves some Carrie Underwood on this early Sunday morning.

remember 2005 American Idol Carrie?!

girl sure has stepped it up in the past 8 years!

Now let's all take a moment to admire the perfection that is Carrie Underwoods legs...

oh yeah, lets not forget the lady can sing, too...

xo,

Danielle.

People suck

I'm on one.

   I realize more and more how much I really don't like people. Most of them my friends. Ok, if you're reading this and you're my friend, chill the fuck out,I like you.....if we are true friends. But being born and raised in this small ass city,(believe me, we are all one degree away of having slept with each other), I know waaay too many people and I really don't care for half of them. I think in my old age of 29, I know I'm not old but in my sober state I've been enduring the past two months, I've realized that I am waaaay too nice to people who do not deserve it. I also am waaay too giving to people who smile at my face and talk shit about me behind my back. Believe me I know what you say people, other people love to tell me and I'm better at it then you are!! It stems from being a bitch for so many years. I've recently have slowly backed away and removed myself from toxic relationships and group settings that lack substance because I just don't care about these people or things anymore. I also stay off of social media. Which is the number one way to make you feel like shit about yourself when you should be telling yourself how fucking awesome you are!! I mean, I will post a pic here and there but I don't scroll through the bullshit to see people's whack ass lives. Life is not a popularity contest people. If you are my friend, you talk to me and I talk to you. Simple as that. Communication and upholding the friendship. Just wanted to share some things that have been on my mind lately and it makes me grateful for the wonderful people I do have in my life. Which honestly,I have way more than anyone ever should. Also, I need to start smoking weed again. Good day.

Clear eyes, babe hearts..

I decided on whim after Kat shared a link with me of Matt Saracen's real life wedding (you should really check it out here ) to re-watch Friday Night Lights.

So I am dedicating this weeks Babe Friday to the one and only Taylor Kitsch, better known as Tim Riggins. If you haven't had the pleasure of watching Taylor in all his babeliness on FNL, you should probably start that, like, yesterday! its on Netflix streaming...you're welcome.

Babetown U.S.A.

This friday I wanna take some time to introduce you all to my favorite babe of the moment. 

L.A. based pop-princess BANKS.

Not only is she fun to look at, but she has the voice of an angel. Her breathy tunes have been on constant rotation for the past couple months in my house, and if you haven't had the pleasure of listening to her yet...today is you lucky day..

[Here is her just released single 'Warm Water']

[and my personal fave, and current anthem 'Before I Ever Met You']

You can also follow her on pretty much every social media outlet, if your little heart desires.
