Inspiring women to live well, eat beautifully, and embrace the sweetness of life.

Hello!

I’m Donna

My mission is to inspire women to live life on their own terms, rekindle their dreams, feel vibrant and healthy, and look absolutely fabulous doing it.

I’m the author of The Big Book of Mediterranean Diet Cooking and Flexitarian Cookbook for Beginners. Before that, I spent years as an automotive journalist, managing editor, and actress — chasing success, working long hours, and ticking all the boxes . . . until I realized I was neglecting the most important parts of my life.

Eventually, burnout hit hard. I gained weight, developed high blood pressure, and felt completely disconnected from myself. With the help of my doctor, I discovered the Mediterranean diet and lifestyle, and it truly changed everything. I learned to slow down, savor life, and find joy in simple, nourishing moments.

Now, at 60, I feel healthier, more vibrant, and more alive than ever. And I’m here to help you do the same: to rediscover your spark, embrace your health, and live la dolce vita every single day.

 

La Dolce Vita

On these pages, you’ll find inspiration for Mediterranean living, elegance, beauty, and the art of living well. If you love good food, timeless style, and the sweetness of life, you’re in the right place.

Let’s live la dolce vita together.

I’m so happy you’re here.

Donna xoxo
