Meet the Maker

Hi, I’m Danielle, the accidental solopreneur that invented your favorite Aloe Vera Hair & Body Oil.

I am a Miami native (Go Canes!) and proud Afro-Carribean. I am a US and Dutch citizen, born to a Dutch Carribean mother and a Manhattanite of Dominican descent. They were both entrepreneurs, so naturally I despise authority.

I am creative through-and-through and consider all mediums a seamless continuum of self-expression. I draw, paint, write songs, poems and copy, take epic photos, sing, play guitar and 12-string, among other fleeting and lifelong passions. Creating is the most natural thing I do, besides falling in love easily.

I enjoy working and creating alone- in silence or to blaring music. My music tastes are eclectic and exquisite. I learn best when I teach myself.

I’ve taught myself cosmetic formulation, web and product design, SEO, sales, and so much more- it's been exhaustive AND exhausting. Over the past four years, I have used and continue to use all of these glorious skills to singlehandedly build my brand, Live Like You Green It. 

A lover of nature, music, matcha, Japan, donuts, night walks, rainy days, languages, hiking and other people's dogs.

My days are filled with creating scentscapes, delightful textures and color palettes that entice the senses and transport the user. My skincare brand is my dream world come to life- nostalgic, indulgent, bold, alluring, and always, pure.

💚,

Dani
