'Welcome Aboard Danica's Forty'Danica went all-out for her 40th birthday bash, getting the ladies coordinated swimwear – plain-colored bikinis and one-pieces worn underneath white tank tops. The tank tops read, "Welcome Aboard Danica's Forty", while their accompanying hats read "AHOY". Danica also had a red and blue towel that read, "Danica's 40th Like a Fine Wine, She gets better with time." The group included water activities in their itinerary and switched their tanks to another one that said, "Boats N Hoes."
More Than A Party
Apart from her 40th birthday, the businesswoman celebrated her breast implant removal and new health journey. Although she was apprehensive about sharing her journey on the internet, Danica felt it necessary to help other women dealing with similar issues.
Three years after getting her implants in 2014, they started attacking her internal organs and outward appearance. She suffered organ failures, bloating, and hair loss, so she researched the cause and removed the implants last April when she discovered they were the culprits.
Encouraging Body PositivityAbout two weeks after sharing her implant removal story, Danica showed off her new and healthy body in a blue bikini. Although her boobs were significantly smaller, she didn't mind because it meant she was healthier. She urged women to love their bodies and avoid body enhancement surgeries unless they were necessary because it's always about fixing something that's not broken. She ended her caption by saying,
"However, all I’m saying is, if we don’t have an insecurity issue… any potential risk or danger go away." ]]>The Inquisitr
