About.
My name is Dani and I am the girl behind Life’s a Journal. I have a full-time gig working from home as an information & social media manager for a publishing company. In my spare moments I love to write, design, read and collaborate with other creative individuals. You will find my daily ramblings here at Life’s a Journal, and my daily pages and other products in my Etsy Shop. I also moonlight as a contributing writer over at Beauty Bets, where you’ll find me chatting about my love for Bare Escentuals. In 2010 I was honored to spend a year capturing the wedding planning process through a blog for Minneapolis-St.Paul Magazine.
I was born and raised in rural southeastern Minnesota, attended college in Iowa, spent a few years living in Minneapolis and recently relocated to Madison, Wi, with my husband, Josh.
You can find information about advertising & sponsorship here and information about graphic design, personal shopping and other services here. I also love to hear from readers and fellow bloggers— send me your questions or just say hi! You can reach me at dani@lifes-a-journal.com or leave a comment on the blog.
Be sure to also follow me on Twitter and find my fan page on Facebook!
Happy Reading!
Dani

Hello Dani,
Too bad I didn’t keep it all because now I’m buying it again and spending twice as much as I did the first time! You’ve got great style and your zest for life shines through your writing. In case you’re wondering how I got here, I’m a friend of Aly’s — she’s adorable, too, so it would make sense that you two are great friends.
I just read your whole blog and I love it! I think I would have been writing all the same things thirty years ago — of course, all the ‘vintage’ stuff would have been fairly new then.
I’m a fan and will certainly be a regular follower. Incidentally, I love all your fashion posts and if I were twenty years younger, I’d wear it all!
Cheers!
Karen
Thank you so much for your kind words, Karen. Greatly appreciated. <3
Hello!

I’m a new follower, and this is too funny, but— my name is Dani, and my husband’s name is Josh! Haha. Love it!
Hi! I just found your blog and am hooked!! I will definitely be added to my list of blogs to read!! I love your style and blog! I hope you check out mine as well (see address above)! Happy blogging
Just started checking out your blog b/c I was linked to it from a list of organizing tools. Anyway, I noticed you are moving to Madison, WI. Turns out that I live in Madison! If I can be of help with questions about the city, etc. Let me know!
Good luck with your move!

Aww, so sweet <3 We move in a few weeks. I'm really excited, I love Madison! Where is your favorite place to shop?!? I'm nervous about leaving a city with *such* phenomenal shopping…although it will likely be good for my savings account!
