Meet the Maker

Hi, I’m Danielle, the accidental solopreneur that invented your favorite Aloe Vera Hair 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 and crave solving problems.

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

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

My inner world is rich and nuanced. From this dynamic space, I create scentscapes, delightful textures and color palettes that entice the senses and transport the user. My skincare brand is my fantasy world come to life- nostalgic, indulgent, bold, alluring, and always, pure.

💚,

Dani
