My age does not define me. At 43 I feel blessed to be independent, active, and able to enjoy life with friends and family!

Being over 40 means embracing my true self. I’ve learned to live without others' expectations and found genuine happiness. My bonds, especially with my sister and my niece and nephew, are stronger than ever. Completing my master’s degree showed me my potential. Returning to school later in life and earning my degree made me realize just how much I’m capable of, regardless of age. I know what I want, and I am confident enough not to settle for anything less.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by practicing self-care, staying active, and indulging in what brings me joy. Running keeps me physically and mentally strong, and I treat myself with skincare and fun routines. I also prioritize quality time with my family, my lifelong best friend (we’re totally like Will and Grace!), and my Bravo obsessions. This decade is about self-acceptance, growth, and loving where I am.
What would you do with the $40,000?Winning $40,000 would help me achieve my dream of owning a home. After moving around a lot, I want a place to put down roots, close to my family, my niece, nephew, and my best friend. I imagine hosting family dinners, Bravo watch parties, and creating a space filled with love. Having my own home would be the foundation for all the beautiful memories I’m excited to create.
