I’m Maria Dale, a lifelong creator with a passion for turning everyday moments into something extraordinary.

Born and raised in the South, I learned the art of gardening with my paw paw, hunted and fished with my brothers, and made my first batch of cat head biscuits under my granny’s guidance.

Today, I blend my southern roots with years of experience as a licensed cosmetologist, aromatherapist, and reflexologist to bring you insights into gourmet cooking, DIY beauty, and holistic wellness.

Whether I’m in the kitchen whipping up a decadent cake, carving a one-of-a-kind Hitty doll, or exploring how essential oils can help balance our bodies, I bring authenticity, heart, and a love for life to every endeavor.

MariaDale.com is a reflection of all the things that bring me joy—cooking that comforts, crafts that inspire, and wellness that nourishes.
