Darlene Waller
Hey Mamas! My name is Darlene Waller. I am a 40 year old single mom of 3 girls, Dayna Ashley is 20, Faith Marie is 16, and Elaina Rose is 2 and they are my world. I've lived in Detroit all my life and love it. I'm currently building my own business. I make handmade glass and crystal jewelry when I'm not giving makeup advice to my oldest, checking my middle kid's homework, or chasing my two year old through a store. I enjoy making beauty and hair products from scratch, shopping at Eastern Market on Saturdays, and rediscovering the beauty of the city I grew up in. So many exciting things are happening in Detroit!
