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.

So when you’re in your 50s, many people want you So when you’re in your 50s, many people want you to step back. Let the younger generation take over….but we’re not retired and we’re better than ever. We’re active, we’re traveling, and our businesses are thriving. Why be quiet? I’m several months into a major weight loss (37+ pounds) and I’m not selling diddly squat. I’m freely telling people what worked for me: no shots, no meds, all calorie counting and increasing activity. There are no shortcuts but you CAN do it. Is it easy? No…but it’s doable, and I feel fantastic. No more tummy-tuck layers, holding my breath for pics or going without the food I want. I’m not selling anything but I can tell you what I did…for free. I don’t believe in gatekeeping, but I will send you a link to my blog post. I used Noom…and a freaking ton of willpower and looking forward to the future. You CAN do it, even in menopause. You can enjoy whatever you want while being mindful. Wellness is easier than it looks. (And throw in some affordable and convenenient at-home HRT help and related guidance with @hone.health, and you'll cover all your bases!) #noompartner #HoneHealthPartner @noom #wellness #midlife #goalweight #womenover50
Midlife is the time to pick those brushes back up Midlife is the time to pick those brushes back up and get creative! I signed up for a paint and sip night at Solorio Brewing and had a blast! For only $5 (and the cost of a beer…or two), Jennifer led us through a tutorial to paint a beach scene worthy of hanging on my wall! (Art is subjective so no judgment 😂😂) I haven’t painted on canvas in forever but this has motivated me to pick up the hobby that was once my college major. Joining the military, having kids, starting a career…these things all pull us in multiple directions and we sometimes have to put aside an interest we once loved. That doesn’t mean it’s permanent though! What have you delayed doing? Go out and do it! Take the time for yourself, get out of your brain and stop thinking about what’s stressing you out, even if only for a few hours. It makes you better in the end! @soloriobrewingco #ranchocucamonga #paintnight #painting #craftnight #painttutorial #paintandsip #beer #localbrewery #sourbeer #stout #midlife #midlifemom #midlifemotivation #midlifewoman #womenover50
Dinner and a movie = fun family night. Tacos and b Dinner and a movie = fun family night. Tacos and bevs at Sancho’s Tacos Claremont followed by Close Encounters of the Third Kind at the Laemmle. Don’t wait until the weekend to get out and do the things! It’s easy to get into the habit of Monday through Friday being a work week but those are too many days to just focus on one thing. Life’s short, cram in as many family moments as you can. @sanchostacos #sanchostacos #tacos #margarita #mezcal #claremont #claremontca #downtownclaremont #familyfun #movienight #closeencountersofthethirdkind #laemmle #veggietacos #shrimptacos
