Welcome, I'm Donna!

Writer | Traveler | foodie | Mother

I’m a Gen X mom of four, a Marvel geek, wine nerd, writer, and creator of Dangerous Cupcake, a Southern California lifestyle blog about wellness in midlife. As my kids enter different stages of their lives, I get to do the same — learn a new instrument, get out and have fun, love Disney, try new adventures, and not let my age define anything. This stage of life is pretty amazing. I love being mom, wife AND Grammy, and midlife isn’t a bad word. Join me in changing focus and enjoying life during our next phase, without totally starting over. However you do it, life is short, live a little dangerously.

Have you seen Netflix’s kids and family summer s Have you seen Netflix’s kids and family summer slate? They’ve got you covered, whether you’re watching TV on a day that’s too hot to go outside or if you’re watching on the road during a long day of travel. There are things for the whole family to watch (like The Wild Robot), options for teenagers and young adults (like F1: The Academy), a long list for kids (like Pokemon Horizons and Barbie Mysteries, for starters) and your littles will be happy with new seasons of Paw Patrol, Peppa Pig and more. The adult in me is looking forward to Wednesday: Season 2 Part 1, and when I’m being Grammy, I’ll be watching some Cocomelon Lane and 7 Bears. Age is just a number — watch whatever you want!

Thanks to @NetflixFamily for this fun box of summer goodies! We’re going to have a blast making crafts, taking and printing pictures, and packing for a picnic with all this cool gear. Enjoy your summer! #NetflixPartner #NetflixFamily #SummerTV #netflix #travelfun #roadtrip #peppapig #wednesday
Congratulations on Rodrigo’s in Corona on their Congratulations on Rodrigo’s in Corona on their renovations! Same amazing menu with some new additions, including incredible cocktails and entrees. 
Thanks to Rodrigo’s, we were hosted on Saturday night for a full (and I mean FULL) meal, starting with cocktails and their guacamole, onto entrees, and another round of cocktails with my personal favorite: the churros with Mexican chocolate dipping sauce. We were seated in Monica’s section, and she took fantastic care of us, from recommendations to refills and restaurant info…and I got the best cup with my Paloma! Check it out in the video; I really want to add a few of these to my cocktail collection at home. The first three drinks you see are the Cadillac Margarita with a float, the Hibiscus Diablo (Blanco, lime, and ginger, topped with ginger beer) and a Jala Berry (Blanco, lime, Strawberry Re’al Puree, Cucumber Monin and bitters). I am up for anything spicy and that Jala Berry definitely has a kick…so good! 
Steve got the Steak Picado (big serving, beware, you will be blessed with leftovers for lunch the next day) and I got the Shrimp Tacos. 
Our second round of drinks include the Paloma in that beautiful cup (Patron Silver, grapefruit, lime, agave and Pamplemousse) and a Spicy Pina (Cazadores Blanco, Pineapple Re’al Puree and bitters). 
Then those CHURROS. It’s okay to take your entree home and eat these first. DO IT. Rodrigo’s is celebrating today at 4pm with a ribbon cutting with the Corona Chamber of Commerce. (And there will be free apps!) Head on in and check out their new interior, complete with three murals by SoCal artist @dayofthedeadskullz (Ross Boss), spacious seating, a gorgeous color palette and a wide open bar. Live music on the patio some weekend evenings, and Your Guilty Pleasure @ygpband was there on Sat night, so we hung out until they finished their set. A really fun evening. Thanks, @rodrigosmexicangrill Corona! #mexicanfood #churros #corona #cocktails #rodrigos #mexicanrestaurant #tacos #tequila #paloma #guacamole #californiafood #socalfoodie
Women in midlife are often finding they’re happi Women in midlife are often finding they’re happier than ever before — but we also face some health changes as we get older. Bone loss, memory slowness, dry skin, weight gain, the list goes on. Chances are, if you’re a woman in midlife, you know what I’m talking about, but getting a doctor to address it all is not always easy, because symptoms are all over the map. Finding a doctor willing to address it as a possible hormone balance issue can be an additional challenge, but thanks to Hone Health, you can now get the help you need, and it’s all at home! It’s as easy as signing up online, where you’ll get blood test orders (which you can have someone take at home, should you prefer that over going to a local lab), and when results come back in, you have a Telehealth appointment with a board-certified MD. Your doctor will go over the results with you and you can share your concerns, symptoms and goals. In under an hour, you’ll get the prescriptions that fit your health profile. These doctors are trained specifically to help focus on women’s (and men’s) wellness in the big picture, so your entire health history is considered. Why did no one do this before? 
I’m 45+ days into my Hone Health program on HRT, or hormone replacement therapy as of today. I already feel better, and I’m not just talking about the sleep. (Did you know that taking progesterone has the huge benefit of improving sleep quality?) I’m on three different prescriptions, all combined to help balance my hormone level, and I’m hoping to see positive effects on future DEXA scans. My meds are refilled monthly and I see the doctor every few months to see how things are going. Finally, women’s health addressed in a convenient and affordable way! Thanks, Hone Health, for offering me the chance to so easily knock this stuff off my list and helping me live better and longer! #HoneHealthPartner @hone.health #HRT #HormoneReplacementTherapy #Midlife #MidlifeWoman #Over50 #Wellness #HormoneBalance #Telehealth #Sponsored
Who else will be walking in the Disney California Who else will be walking in the Disney California parks with me on August 3, raising money for the Children’s Hospital of Orange County? There’s still time to sign up, and if you do so by July 25 AND raise $375, you’ll get a park hopper ticket to stay in the park and enjoy BOTH Disneyland and Disney California Adventure for the rest of the day! We got to attend a launch party for this year’s CHOC Walk at @ParksideMarketLA in Downtown Disney earlier this week, where we got to see this year’s Choc Walk ambassador, ItsBellieBelle, whose amazing energy and bright smile inspired us all to get fundraising. And if you’re a Magic Key Holder and don’t want to start your own team, you can join a team of other pass holders! This is such a fun opportunity to get a special walk through the park before it’s open to the public! And check out these fun mocktails the amazing bartenders at Parkside, Randell and Aaron, made us, complete with the Choco the Bear on top! Thanks for another fun night, CHOC Walk team and @MrTOdayGroup! @CHOCChildrens @CHOCFoundation #CHOCWalk #CHOC #Disneyland #DisneyCalifornia #Disney #ChildrensHospital #ChildrensHospitalOfOrangeCounty #chocwalkinthepark
