Chapter 42......Happy Birthday To Me!!

July 30, 2021

Today is my birthday! I am now 42 years old! And yessssssss...... I am a Leo Queen!!! You know we Leos are extra. Every year I try to do it big. What can I say??!! I enjoy life and I love celebrating my born day with close family and friends. I'm getting older, and I must say that I'm okay with it. I'm aging gracefully. 

In my Aaliyah's voice, "Age ain't nothing but a number." Society sets these expectations of what we're suppose to feel and have by a certain age. And quite frankly, I think it's a bunch of bull. I feel every bit of 30. I know I'm not where I truly want to be right now, but I know in due time its mine. I'll continue to work hard. I'm on my own schedule. I wont pressure myself to feel like by this day and age, everything should be perfect and in order. There is no time limit on the things that I want to achieve. My life gets better daily. Each day I become older and wiser. I have a roof over my head, food in the fridge, my kids are happy and healthy, I have an amazing man/best-friend, I work a full time job, and I'm a part-time blogger. Life is good!

Today I reflect on all of my life experiences and the stages that I've gone through. It's amazing how far I've come. Every single thing that was done, got me where I am right now, and I'm loving it. I wouldn't change anything. I'm more confident now than I've ever been. I made the choice years ago to never fit into anyone's box. I am me and only me! I would never conform to what others may want me to be. 

I have some pretty amazing family and friends that has been riding shot gun with me through this life of mine.. They have supported me through everything. Words can not describe how grateful I am to have them in my life. Although I must say ladies, I need more ladies night out and brunches in this next chapter......OKAY!!! I know I have some fault in this with my busy schedule and all, but this year the time will be set aside. 










The most memorable part of the past year, are you my readers and followers. Being able to share parts of my life with you has brought me so much joy and fulfillment. A lot of you have been there from the beginning of my Life and Glamour days. Each day I wake up thinking of what content I can create, what pictures to share, or what video to record so that you have new post from me all the time. You guys sliding in my DM's or meeting you personally is a constant reminder of how lucky I am. 

I'm so excited to share this next chapter with you. Thank you for giving me the best birthday gift ever!! Your love and support means the world to me. I am forever grateful!


With Love Always, 

Dana Capri

Kyrzayda Rodriquez....My Style Icon

Kyrzayda Rodriquez was someone that inspired so many people around the world, including myself. I was one of her biggest fans, always in the back ground cheering at her success. I began following Kyrzayda’s blog and social media pages mid 2014. She inspired me by her love for fashion, hair, and the love she had for every family member and friend. We never met, but we conversed a few times thru social media. She became a part of my life in a major way. Her love and hustle for what she did truly inspired me.  Because of her, I finally took the leap in starting my own blog.  Over time, she became my inspiration for fashion and more.  I can’t count how many times I’ve screen shot a picture of her to take to my stylist for inspirational hair cuts! She's definitely my hair crush and goal.  I wanted my hair just like hers. My first time running across Kyrzayda was on Pinterest. I found several pixie cuts I thought was so freaking cute! ...

This is 44...........The Self-Love Era!

 This past July 30th, I celebrated my 44th birthday. I swear, once I turned 35, these birthdays started coming around fast as hell. But I thank the most high for allowing me to see them all. Giving me the opportunity to be here for my beautiful children, as well as my family and close friends.  A part of my brand is encouraging self-love and improvement. Daily I strive to evaluate myself inside and out, as well as where I am in life. After much reflecting, there is a lot that I'm truly proud and grateful for. But there's also things that I must continue to work on daily to enhance my inner being. While there's room for improvement, I also thank my current self for becoming the woman I currently am. I will continue to celebrate all wins in life no matter how big or small. This past year was filled with so many small wins that I've prayed for a long time. We owe it to ourselves to acknowledge and celebrate those wins too. 44 is my era of self-love, my healing of progress ...

RH Rooftop Restaurant Birthday Celebration

This past weekend I celebrated my 44th birthday with close family and friends. My birthday isn't until July 30, (LEO GANG) but due to me being out of town then, I wanted to pre-celebrate with them before leaving. I've heard so much about RH that I just had to see what all the fuss was about. RH Charlotte is a luxury home furnishing store located in South Park's Phillips Place shopping center, with a rooftop restaurant and wine bar.  RH Rooftop was such a vibe!! The ambiance and staff were great. Walking thru the doors on the first floor was such a dramatic entrance. There's 14ft high ceilings with chandeliers and a golden stairwell that leads up to the second and third floors. But of course, I came cute, so your girl took the elevators instead! RH rooftop restaurant is located on the third floor. This restaurant is so glamorous. It's a luxurious greenhouse filled with beautiful waterfalls, chandeliers, and marble tabletops. The restaurant is opened all day for break...
