Being confident in my own skin and finally giving myself permission to love and accept myself for who I am! I feel very lucky to be alive and thriving at this age having experienced the loss of my mother at an early age. It is a privilege for me to be healthy at this age and that’s why I enjoy life and take really good care of my physical, emotional and mental well being. Being fab comes from within and it comes with age as well. I’ve never felt more confident about myself as I am now.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay active and maintain a healthy diet. I do yoga 4-5 times per week and I’m in a high protein, fruits and vegetables diet. I surround myself with likeminded friends and people who share the same interests as me. I like to travel, stay on top of my career, set goals and also enjoy life as much as I can! My mental, emotional and physical wellbeing are the top priorities for me. I also like to advocate a healthy lifestyle for my family and friends. Beauty radiates from the inside out.
What would you do with the $40,000?If I win $40,000, first off, I would like to donate to Breast & Colon Cancer Research to find hope and cure . I also would like the opportunity to write a book that empowers women to become the best version of herself. It is my hope to make an impact to many women who have struggled to find her inner strength because of the many limiting beliefs about herself. I would also like to encourage women to prioritize herself and stay fabulous despite the many challenges that life throws at her.
