I just turned 50 on New Year’s Eve. I’ve been married for 30 years with 2 wonderful daughters, a beautiful two year old granddaughter, a son-in-law, 2 rescue dachshund mixes, and 2 grandpuppies. My cup is full! I grew up in New Orleans and have called Minneapolis my home for the past 30 years. I love God, people, animals, food, fun, fashion, beauty, fitness, health, and living your best life and I’m here to share it all with you. I fully embrace the journey of life with all of its ups and downs and truly believe that the best is always yet to come. 

Dressed Up Dana is a space to talk about the journey of being a woman through every stage of life. From playing dress up, to getting dressed up, to feeling blessed to be able to get up and get dressed! Sharing what I’ve learned, what I’ve taught my daughters, what I am still learning, and what they are teaching me. I want to leave you feeling like you just had a girls’ weekend. You feel seen, heard, included, and encouraged. You laughed, cried, got some new recipes and a few fashion and beauty tips, and discussed your relationships. You feel refreshed and inspired to go back to your family and pour from a full cup.
