What I love most about being over 40 is that I’m more comfortable in my own skin and less worried about what others think. Of course, I care about my body and my health but the goal is to age with grace both physically and mentally. I also have developed a much broader perspective on life, and I’m better at prioritizing what truly matters: my Faith, my Family and my Friends. To the last point, friendships are richer and more meaningful because I focus on quality over quantity.

I try to walk through life with confidence and kindness—it’s the best combination for feeling fabulous inside and out. I truly believe what you put out in the universe is what you receive. I also invest in skincare, dress in a way that makes me feel confident, and add a bit of flair to my style—because I love expressing who I am. Finally, and most importantly, I make time for sleep and self-care because feeling good starts from within!

I’d allocate a portion to support a charity that’s close to my heart, which is the Red Cross who helped my family when I was a child following a house fire . It’s important to give back and make a positive impact that inspires a "pay it forward" mentality. I’d also invest it in travel and unforgettable experiences for me and my family, like exploring new countries or taking a dream vacation. I believe in creating memories that last a lifetime!
