Earlier this week Dana of The Champagne Edit answered 73 questions about herself. She copied Elle and well now, I’m copying her. I had such a great time reading her answers (Elle’s as well), finding out more about her, and also seeing what were had in common. Hopefully, y’all will enjoy seeing my answers as well and further getting to know the gal behind Louella Reese.
