There’s something so freeing about this age. I’m so comfortable in my skin and I’m finally able to see my scars as trophies instead of flaws. At this age, everything I need I can give to myself.

It’s more of a mindset than anything! Staying fabulous is about continuously evolving, being a present mother, being active, learning and growing personally and professionally. I stay fabulous by keeping a positive attitude and being a tough bitch. I’m always viewing myself as a warrior instead of a victim. I have the years of experience to back up my belief that I can overcome anything and come out even better.

I would use it to renovate my work studio and expand my business into the area of hair loss solutions. Women struggling with alopecia or hair loss from chemo therapy are usually limited to wigs, but I’d love to be able to offer them custom hairline toppers for their crowns along with the existing extensions that I offer. Next, I would invest in a college savings plan for my kids. Lastly, I would really love to renovate the front porch. It’s falling apart!
