Hi! My name is Galina. At almost 43 I’m not only a grandma to two beautiful grandchildren, but I’m also look and feel amazing.
We would like to thank you for supporting Galina Yklymova 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.
What I love about being over 40 is that it feels like life is truly in bloom. At 42, I’m a proud mom to two beautiful daughters and a grandmother to two amazing grandchildren. I feel more confident and beautiful than I ever have before. I’ve started a new business making the best French macarons in town, and the joy it brings me is incredible. This stage of life is filled with happiness, fulfillment, and a renewed sense of purpose, and I’m embracing every moment of it.
How do you stay fabulous?Staying fabulous is all about confidence, self-care, and embracing what makes you unique! For me, it’s important to take care of myself both inside and out. I prioritize healthy habits like eating well and staying active. I also make time for the things I love, like running my macaron business and spending time with my family, which brings me so much joy. Feeling fabulous is as much about mindset as it is about appearance—when you feel good on the inside, it shines through on the outside.
What would you do with the $40,000?If I win $40,000, I’d invest in my macaron business, possibly opening a storefront to reach more customers. I’d also allocate funds for marketing to expand my brand. Family is a priority, so I’d set aside money for my daughter and grandchildren’s future. Additionally, I’d donate a portion to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, as I’ve already participated in a donation event for them. Supporting their incredible work for children in need is important to me, and I’d love to contribute again.
