About The Founder

hello! i’m dannia

Engineer, Cat Lover, & Lifestyle blogger

Welcome to Renovated Lifestyle!

I started this blog out of pure desperation, I’ll be perfectly honest. After graduating college, I had racked up so much debt from school and medical bills while still managing daily living expenses. Something had to change, and I was willing to try blogging as a risk. Man, I sure am glad I took that risk.

Starting this blog has not only allowed me to pursue financial freedom but also allowed me to do what I love, which is helping others! One thing I always wish I had in college and as a new graduate entering the scary real world was constant, reliable advice. Allow me to serve as your big sister online and share the lessons I learned, mistakes I made, and things I wish I knew.

Just a little bit about me…

1. I am well on my way to becoming a crazy cat lady. I have an army of two chubby black cats, Nyx and Mischief, and a little spunky tabby, Muse.
2. I have an older sister, Noria (peep her on the left in my graduation pic)! We have a 10-year age gap, and life is never not beautifully chaotic when we are in the same room.
3. I’m a music and band nerd! I played euphonium (no one knows what this is, so don’t worry) all throughout middle and high school, and still do for fun to this day.
4. One of my favorite places to travel is South Korea! I’d honestly love to move there someday or at least have a vacation home there.
