I wanted to write a blog post about who I am because I haven’t really done that; especially since I’ve expanded my blog to a bigger audience! My name is Jenna LeeAnn D’Amico (hence the name of my blog!) and I am a 25 year old blogger (soon to be 26) who has had a lot of experience in the fashion industry in many different roles.
I started my blog in 2012 as a place to style my own clothing that I was selling at my online clothing store (closed in 2013). It wanted to be able to show how versatile my clothes from my store were. I ended up closing my store down just a few short months after my Dad passed away, and I was working on finishing college and the pressure got to be too much. However, I did continue my blog…
Back then, there weren’t a whole lot of bloggers. It was a nice small community back then with everyone supporting everyone. I have made so many good friends from blogging and I’m so thankful! Even though this industry is growing so fast, the good thing is that there’s enough room for everyone!
I also have a few different side hustles besides my blog. I work a day job at a hospital, but I also own an Etsy store that sells resources and online help for bloggers or entrepreneurs and their websites (see it HERE). My store offers help with blog transfers, blog design installation, and many printable resources. On top of those few projects, I also have a HUGE project I’m working on that I don’t want to talk about just yet! This project will by far be my favorite though…
I am a HUGE family girl. Family is so important to me and I don’t know where I would be without them. I’m thankful to have a boyfriend, Chris, who is the same way with his family. It’s nice having two big families surrounding you with love! Speaking of him, he is awesome. I wish I could have a camera on me all of the time around him because he is the funniest person I’ve ever met. We’ve been dating for just about two years, and I truly can’t picture life without him and his corny jokes! Also… Oscar (my dog), gets really upset when he’s not around… so I guess Chris is stuck with us.
Speaking of Oscar, I LOVE HIM! He is a mini long-haired dachshund that I got in 2011 and is so loving and fun and always wants to cuddle. Oscar has gotten me through the worst times in my life and truly has saved me. Being a huge dog person, I’m so thankful to have found him.
I have dealt with a LOT of loss in my life, but the hardest was of course my Dad who passed away from cancer in 2013. I definitely fell into depression with some added anxiety while I have been trying to figure out how to go on with life without him for these past 5 years. Read more about him HERE. Over the years I have tried many different ways to control my mind, but most recent, I have been working on Law of Attraction. Since I have begun my studies with this topic, I have come really far in learning how to control my emotions and continue motivation!

I have an amazing group of friends that took me a long time to get to. I wish I could’ve told my high school and college self that you do not need anyone in your life that doesn’t belong. It’s always hard at first to lose a friend, but worth the happiness in the long run. Once you’re able to find a good group of friends who are truly there to support you and treat you with respect, you realize how much time and effort you gave to the wrong people. Lessons are learned, and life long friendships are growing.
I blog because it makes me happy. Yes, it’s nice to have that income as well, but I can’t imagine not blogging. Even when I try to take a week off… I think about it. My blog is a space for me to get creative while being a go to resource for people. My favorite thing in the world is when people message me asking for styling or clothing advice. I seriously love it to death.
So it’s super nice to meet you. Thank you for following my blog, I appreciate it more than you know. I can’t wait to continue to put out great quality and useful content for you all! Let me know in the comments why you read and/or follow my blog!
