Hi lovelies,
Thank you all for bearing with me! As you can see, after five years of "polkadani" I've decided it's time to rebrand a little...
Polkadani was a terribly random choice - I think my first URL was all-unicorns.blogspot.com, that didn't really catch on! At the time I was 22, obsessed with the 1950s and polkadots, so polkadani seemed to perfectly encapsulate my style and identity. I'm now 27 and feel like a different person; a lot has changed since I was at university, I work full-time, I'm more confident, assured of what I like and what I want, and of course the biggest change of all, in a matter of weeks I will be entering a new stage of life when I get married!
It just felt like the right time to make a change. I was growing uncomfortable with the correlation between my blog's content and the name. It's evolved since it began as a beauty blog, I now post about all sorts of things that take my fancy and I felt the name of the blog ought to reflect that.
I pondered long and hard over a new blog name; I thought of all sorts of whimsical blogger-style names, I considered my favourite French words, names involving lipstick, pet names, old nicknames... But none of them seemed to accurately portray who I am now and more importantly, who I might become as I grow older. Finally, after hours of tearing my hair out, I decided to keep it simple and adopt my new name. Privately I will be Dani Lodhi-Dunne (when my new passport is sorted!), but for the sake of simplicity and alliteration, my blog and social media will all be Dani Dunne. A blog by me, about me and all my thoughts and passions!

If I've managed to code everything correctly then my old blog links should all redirect here to danidunne.co.uk, my Instagram and Twitter have been renamed @danidunnexo, and I have a new email address of dani.dunne@outlook.com!
I'm also tentatively venturing into the frankly terrifying new landscape that is YouTube with a series of wedding-themed vlogs and other rambles, so hopefully you will see fewer pointless rambles on here! I'll hopefully be popping a few videos up in the next couple of weeks, so watch this space...
Most of all, I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone reading - I hope you enjoy, I hope you can still find my content and I look forward to creating more exciting posts for this little space!
