The story behindStrictly the Good Stuff

Hi, I'm Denna!

I started Strictly the Good Stuff out of my love for travel, food, fashion, and all things beautiful and good. Before every trip, I’d spend hours scouring reviews and the web for the places actually worth it — not just the popular ones, but the “life-changing” spots you can’t stop talking about.

So I started keeping lists — obsessively detailed, highly opinionated lists of every restaurant, hotel, coffee shop, and hidden gem I found. Friends started texting me for recs, so I made a website, then started sharing on Instagram, TikTok, and Substack. Something clicked, and Strictly became a trusted source for curated, personal recommendations over algorithm-driven noise (thank you for being here!!!!).

With Strictly Concierge, I want to make it all more actionable and personalized for you. Tell me where you’re going, what you love, and who you’re with, and I’ll build you a detailed day-by-day itinerary from my highly curated database. And soon, a direct line to me as if I were your personal concierge in your pocket — ask me anything, from the best croissant in Paris to which hotel is worth the splurge, like texting the friend who’s already been.

My philosophy is simple: I only recommend places I’ve been to or extensively vetted — and loved. Just the good stuff — strictly! Happy adventuring and I can’t wait to hear what you think!
