I am 51 and fabulous because I now embrace wisdom, self confidence, strength, and a clear sense of who I am.
We would like to thank you for supporting Carla Ascione in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
I love being over 40 because it’s a time of confidence and self-assurance. I’ve learned to embrace who I am, letting go of unnecessary doubts and insecurities. I prioritize what truly matters—whether it's relationships, career, or personal growth—and feel empowered to say no to things that don’t serve me. Life has given me valuable experiences, and now I live with more freedom and joy, celebrating my journey and the strength that comes with it. Being over 40 feels like living in my prime!
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous at 51 by embracing a healthy mindset, focusing on self-care, and staying active. I prioritize my mental and physical well-being, by taking long walks with my dog & eating more of a well balanced diet. I do my best to maintain a positive outlook even with all the challenges that life throws at me. I love spending time with people that matter, laughing as much as possible and dressing in ways that make me feel beautiful. I embrace my age and continue to live life at the fullest.
What would you do with the $40,000?If I were lucky enough to win, I would invest some it in to a small business that I plan on opening, donate some of it to Dana Farber Cancer Institute (organization very near and dear to me) and use some of it on beauty treatments that will continue to make me look and feel fabulous at 51! Thank you for the opportunity to enter. Sending strength and empowerment to all the women over 40 out there!
