Hello and welcome! I’m Dominique, and I’m thrilled to have you here. I figured if you were going to read all about my life and experiences, you should know a little about me. I am a 24 year old girl that grew up and lives in a small town in Ohio. I graduated from Youngstown State University in December of 2023 with a bachelors in Accounting. I have two wonderful parents and the best little brother. My favorite color is blue, but I’m really starting to love pink. My favorite food is ribs and my favorite vacation spot is Anna Maria Island, FL. I can’t wait to share my life with you and explore new ideas together. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy the ride as much as I do!
Why I write
I made the decision to start a blog because it’s a platform where I can share my passions and connect with others who have similar interests. Travel, fitness, food and fashion are not just topics to me- they’re integral parts of my life that inspire and energize me. Through my blog, I aim to offer insights and inspiration that encourage my readers to explore new places, maintain a healthy lifestyle, enjoy delicious food, and express their unique style. Writing allows me to express my creativity, document my experiences, and foster a community of like-minded individuals. Ultimately, it’s about creating a space where we can all find motivation, ideas, and joy in the everyday adventures of life.
How I chose the name
On July 8, 2022, I captured a screenshot of a powerful tattoo I saw on social media that read, “How lucky are we?” That simple phrase has stayed with me ever since. I’ve always said that if I ever decided to get a tattoo, it would be this one. It serves as a constant reminder that, no matter the circumstances, we are incredibly lucky. Even on our toughest days—when it feels like things can’t get worse—we are still fortunate. We are lucky to be alive, to face challenges, and even to have a job, no matter how stressful it may be. Our mindset is the one thing we can control, and when we shift our perspective, life transforms. This four-word quote means so much to me. It’s a mantra that resonates with me daily. Whenever I’m feeling down or overwhelmed, I pause and ask myself, “How lucky are we?” I hope to share this powerful feeling with you and inspire a shift in perspective, just as it transformed mine.
What I hope for
I hope to create a space where everyone feels welcome and valued. It’s important to me that readers know their thoughts and opinions are valid, and that this is a judgment-free zone. Whether you’re here to read my random thoughts, seeking advice on fashion, fitness tips, healthy food ideas, or travel inspiration, I want my blog to be a place you can turn to. I believe everyone deserves a community where they can feel heard, inspired, and supported in their journey, no matter where they are in life.
Where I am currently
Right now, I am located in a small town in Ohio and am working a 9-5 accounting job in a city near me – if anyone is here from Ohio, hello :). Being that I graduated college in December of 2023, I started my first big girl job in October of 2024, therefore I am still transitioning from being in school for the last 23 years to being in the corporate world. Lately, I’m feeling both excited and nervous as I embark on this new chapter in my life. Starting is the hardest part, but once we get past that stage we’re opening ourselves up to so much more. I am focused on learning the ins and outs of blogging and hope to go from knowing nothing about it to mastering it. I’m excited to start this journey and can’t wait to see where it takes us.
