Meet Gina Joy
Hey there, beautiful soul!
I’m Gina Joy — a vintage-loving,
cat-chasing, joy-spreading Mama
on a mission to make the world
feel a little lighter
and a lot more fabulous.
Why I’m Here
Because life is *wild*, messy, beautiful, and sometimes brutal — and we need each other to get through it. I’ve been through my share of storms: my husband’s Army deployment to Iraq just after we got married, two miscarriages, the loss of my brother to brain cancer, and years of finding my footing in a world that doesn’t slow down. But I’m still dancing. Still laughing. Still loving. And now, I want to help you do the same.
I believe in joy as a survival skill. Not the fake kind — the real, “I made it through and now I’m going to sparkle anyway” kind.
The Backstory
I'm a 45-year-old mom of a 5-year-old miracle, married nearly 20 years to a man I love (and still flirt with!).
I’m a singer, dancer, crafter, former opera hopeful, and garden newbie with a colorful home that’s still under construction (literally and figuratively).
I'm a first-generation Italian-American (shoutout to Palermo, Sicily!). I was raised in a multi-lingual, multi-cultural home full of big food, big feelings, and bigger family energy.
Our two Sphynx cats, Lilah and Olive, are our mischievous (and hairless) babies — perfect for my husband’s intense cat allergy.

With love, laughs, and a warm basket of laundry,
Gina Joy 💕
