Meet: Daphnee Allen

There's only two people that I know who actually knew what they would grow up to be Jr and Daphnee. Daphnee knew she wanted to be in marketing for a big beauty brand company and she knew she wanted to be in New York City for that. So with a month to find an apartment, (its official, she is, finally, moving outta Queens, ha ha) I interviewed Daphnee about how its going so far. I have to tell you guys that I knew Daphnee since college, but we were never friends just a hello here and there. We only became dear friends a few years ago when we decided to brave New York City together. This was an experience that has been changing my life ever since and whenever I check in with Daphnee she seems to be going through the same changes, just living and loving the city.




Daphnee was always the girl who sends out holiday wishes to my hotmail account. She is prolly one of the most honest and caring individual I know. She will give her soul for the people she loves and  she never had a bad thing to say about anyone, well unless you are a guy, then, well "guys are just stupid". This is clearly her favorite sentence about the opposite sex. lol. She is one of the most hard working individual and her beauty extends throughout her whole system. She is kinda a big deal. She is one of those people that you can honestly say, is beautiful on the inside and gorgeous on the outside, as well. She makes me so proud of her everyday. It is like watching a river cascading into a waterfall and if you ever get the chance to have a chat with her, it is gonna be worth it. She will not only win over your heart but she will cherish your worth, forever.

Daphnee was totally on the basketball team in college. Go Bucs!!!

Come on, lets get to know her.....



Name: Daphnee Allen

Age: 30 :D

Status: SINGLE!!

Zodiac Sign: Capricorn

What do you do: Marketing for a beauty company - brand: Sally Hansen

Hail from: France

Where ya bed at: Clinton Hill

Why Nyc: Dream City - I set foot in NYC the first time when I was 14, I think. The energy I felt was unparalleled, I had never felt such a great, inner voice of wanting to be somewhere so badly. I knew I was eventually going to live in the great new york city... and that happened almost 4 years ago, the dream came true!!!

Best Place to eat in the city: West village - I love turning the corners of those gorgeous little streets, and finding amazing, adorable restaurants with delicious food.

When's bedtime: 10.30 ish (sometimes earlier) during the week - I'm getting old. Weekends are different, minimum 2am when I am out and about.

One thing you have to have with you at all times: Cell phone, I'm a phone person, and love to stay in touch with my friends through text or call...

How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are: 30 :D - I feel like my 20's were such a challenging chapter in my life, and even though very cliche, I told myself I was turning that page and opening a new door of success and happiness at 30.

If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich: World traveler - I love traveling, eating different foods, meeting new people from different cultures, and being in amazing, magical foreign places... I would just do that my whole life if I could.

Would you break the law to save a love: Yes - all my friends and family know that I would do anything for them.

Next 3 years: Happy, probably still in NYC, but who knows... I see myself growing more, and reaching career goals (marketing manager minimum) as well as personal goals.

Has your greatest fear ever came true: I think so... I want to live my life without fearing but risking situations and things and trying to live fully. My greatest fear would be if airplanes do not exist anymore, not allowing people to see the world - I don't think I will get to experience that in my lifetime ;-)


If you could tell the world one thing: Let's love each other, makes everything much simpler! I believe that positive vibes and love make all things just be.

Favorite thing you have ever done with a friend: Travel together - every time I have the opportunity to spend time with friends, especially abroad, it's like reliving our friendship again, enjoying all new things around. I did that last year in Italy with 2 great friends: Deniz from Istanbul, and Nathalie from Paris.

Where are you gonna be when you die: No idea - I don't want to think about that specific event.

If you could have sex with one person past or present: I really don't know.

If you could only have dinner with three people for the rest of your life: I would have picked my family members, but then again when I go home for a week, I'm annoyed, so rest of life, probably not! if it's that long, I would want to have dinner with the person I will eventually be in love with, and with 2 other great friends of my life (rotating, cause I have a few)... if I end up having kids, which I hope, I would want them at the table.
