Welcome back! It’s refreshing to see and hear you 😊 I hope your time away from youtube was healing! I recently watched a video where they reviewed Allure’s Best of Beauty 2022 hair products. Apparently the Colorwow+Chris Appleton ‘Money Mask Deep Hydrating & Strengthening Hair Treatment’ is really good! I would love to see you review it 🥰 Excited to have you back, we welcome you with open arms 💕

[@DanielleRenee321]

Thank you!!!!!! And Hhmmm. I may need to try that because that’s a pretty bold claim!

[@faithsmith5042]

Hey, love! I've missed your notifications being in my feed, but I completely understand being human, not feeling up to doing anything outside of taking care of you and that sweet baby girl who is now a toddler. A whole toddler. I just can't. 🥹😄❤️ Love seeing you again, though! Looking forward to whatever you may post next. ❤️

Hello! So happy to be back!

[@ngwhite6251]

I'm glad to see you are doing well and you were taking the time necessary for your mental health 😊 I have been wearing my hair straight for some months now too. Just was spending too much money on products from washing every week with curly hair and too much time. I'm on week 3 right now, not washing my hair 😏 I'll get around to it before the 4th week lol. Could you do a hair video with your straight hair when you're up to it? What products do you use after washing and conditioning?

[@DanielleRenee321]

I definitely can. I’ve been using the exact same products so that will be super easy lol!

@@DanielleRenee321 you asked about things we like to do…sis, are you a foodie? Lol cuz. It’s food and coffee and donut shops for me! Go exploring in the city! I’m from Augusta, Ga, and I’m slightly familiar with things in Atlanta but I already know there’s so many places up there that i would like to visit as far as the things I just named. That’s like the best way for me to romanticize normal things lol….

[@demetriaf6595]

Hey Boo, glad to see you are back!!! I just came back in December because of all the reasons you mentioned…man being a mom and working is HARD. I haven’t been consistent on KZbin since 2018 when I had my son, I just didn’t have the time. Doing hair videos gives me anxiety now because they’re so time consuming, people just don’t understand. I prefer vlogging regardless of the amount of views I’m getting, I’m shifting my content for me, so do what’s best for you!!! Again welcome back mama❤

[@DanielleRenee321]

Exactly! The hair videos take FOREVER! I feel like vlogging helps you take your day back lol.

[@laurenraymond9219]

Oh em gee!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ I have missed you sooooooo much!!!!!! You look beautiful. 😍🥰 We are so happy to have you back. Congrats on motherhood again! Tell your husband he is projecting his black thumb on you. Lol this plant will survive but we are sooooo here for the vlogs! We can’t wait to see the baby. Ps I live in Atlanta too!!!!

[@DanielleRenee321]

You look sssssoooo familiar!!!!!

[@bronzefire5404]

Welcome Back gorgeous!! Good to see you again!! Listen...life happens to EVERYONE, okay. So we roll with it. There will be some things to happen that's completely out of our control, and that's okay too. Step back, learn the lesson , dust yourself off and try again. Give yourself the same measure of grace that you would give anyone else. Because what's important is that you survived it and you're here to talk about it. Perhaps your experience might help someone else. Take small steps to the road of recovery because there's victory in THAT! Before you know it,everything will look and feel brand new. So when I need to bounce back, I go back to the basics. Taking time out to do my hair. Maybe buy a new lipstick to wear. Get a relaxing massage or facial. Manicure and pedicure. A beautiful floral arrangement just because. Simply reading a book and enjoying a glass of wine. Keeping a journal is therapeutic. Cooking a new recipe. A walk around your neighborhood or a walking trail does wonders. Let's go to the museum. Just whatever floats your boat sis. Remember to take your time and look after yourself without feeling guilty. It 👏will👏 be 👏alright!! Love you. It's great having you back. See you in the next video.♥️

[@DanielleRenee321]

TYSM 🥹. I will definitely be going to a museum soon. I love stuff like that. And I’ve never tried journaling but I may need to start 😊

[@bharvey4290]

Yay! You're back! Lol You and your family come first for sure. Squeeze us in whenever you have time. How is Dash? You are still bubbly and your nails are still 10 out of 10 lol. I want to go to the IMAX theater. I think that's what's called. It seems like an experience. I liked your favorite things videos you used to do. Whatever you are willing to share I'm here for it 🙂

[@DanielleRenee321]

Dash is still living his very best life as my bossy assistant! And I definitely would recommend imax! It’s such an immersive experience!!!

[@jackinthe.making2948]

Heyyyy!!! Sooo awesome to see you back on this platform, you've been missed. I'll keep my comment short-ish,lol and say that there is no way to fully prepare for the life upheaval that is Motherhood.

[@DanielleRenee321]

Yes!!! Definitely a package deal! And I’m so happy to have such a warm welcome back! 🥹

[@Latriise]

Welcome back! I was just thinking of you the other day and missing your videos. I think your straight hair bun in this video is cute (and congrats on no heat damage). And I'm here for whatever content you put up. Even if that's straight hair natural content. Or non hair content. And I'm a big believer in not only letting tourists do the fun stuff in your city. I visit local monuments (like memorials, statues or fountains), tour a local brewery, go to historical museums, go to the Saturday morning city market where people sell home grown produce or other handmade items, go to an outdoor play/musical, visit large parks where people go to take their wedding photos, etc. And my city doesn't have nearly the stuff available that Atlanta would. One thing I haven't done yet, but want to, is take an official tour on one of those tourist buses or trolleys (to see the city through the eyes of people not from here).

[@DanielleRenee321]

I’m so happy to be back and omg those ideas are so good! I NEVER thought about touring the city! And I never go to any of the markets either and I love that kind of stuff. I will definitely be trying and vlogging those ideas 😊☺️

[@yourfavpersuasion9385]

If you do not really wear your hair curly anymore it def doesn't make sense to keep the products. Also, how are you and hubby doing?

[@DanielleRenee321]

I still use them on my daughter, and I will go back to wearing my hair curly. I just haven’t felt like it for months! And we’re doing great!

[@johnjohnrn8655]

I have a 3 year old and man ……my hair, myself have been neglected, I hate stuff and his birthday is on New Year’s Eve so he gets Christmas and his birthday gifts all at once. It’s so much STUFF, it drives me insane. I hated stuff before and even worse now. I love him but man is it easy to ignore yourself along the way!

[@DanielleRenee321]

OMG SAME. I literally have to warn people that there is a strong chance she may not get a chance to play with all the gifts they give her. I feel like she gets overwhelmed with too many things, and then I’m overwhelmed, and then I just want to throw everything away. She would literally rather play with the pillows on our couch!

[@sjewell3923]

Hey, I am not a regular. I found you looking for help with my hair betrayal, being very dry and losing my natural, easy curls and waves. Now it's all dry and frizz. So 1st be kind to yourself! It almost sounds like you were experiencing some postpartum depression. I wish you well and remember to take care of you!

[@DanielleRenee321]

TYSM 🥹. And hopefully my previous videos can help. I unexpectedly will be filming another hair video soon lol, so hopefully that will help too ❤️

[@marlamorris2869]

I got my notification. Yay! Did you just accidentally rename your channel Pressed for Time? Anyway I went to the MLK Dream Center (I think that's the name). My cousins who live there has never been. I also remember the first time I went to ATL we went to a fruit stand that had apples almost as big as a toddler's head. Maybe family-friendly activities that are free to cheap or duplicatable in any locale. In all honesty, I have gotten away from the FOMO driven consumerism that is the natural hair care world. I'm still natural, but buying 20 DCs in one year aren't my thing anymore. I'm an author and a diamond painter. So, if I've changed, then it stands to reason others around me, even the friends in my head on YT (like u) are changing and evolving too. Glad u r back. 💜💜💜🤩🤩🤩

[@DanielleRenee321]

Thank you so much! The excessive amounts of consumption just overwhelm me now. I don’t even purchase back up of anything. If it’s not there when I go to repurchase, I’ll just find something else! 🤷🏽‍♀️
