Danielle shared a behind-the-scenes look at her glam process and showed off her stunning new darker hair in the process. 

In her mirror selfie, we could see Danielle was rocking a deep chestnut color with a few lighter blonde pieces strewn throughout. Then, we she grabbed a video of the full, glammed-up look, we got an even better picture of how she recently colored her hair.

"So, I got a tummy tuck — they call it a 'mommy makeover' — a tummy tuck and lipo[suction], and it changed my whole body," Danielle shared. "It changed my confidence, and I'm really happy. So yeah, I did that glow-up."

Danielle went on to reveal that she didn't have plans to change her face anytime soon. "This is the same," she quipped, pointing to her facial features. "I'm done here. This is done."
