Age is nothing but a number. What makes me fabulous over 40 is my desire to stay active and love myself everyday for who I am.
We would like to thank you for supporting Jennifer Pelaez 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 40 is not allowing negative perceptions about my age dictate how I go about my life. I live life to the fullest extent and I embrace new opportunities and challenges that come my way everyday. I am still learning new things about myself and use my past experiences as a way to navigate the way I want to live. I still have fun the way I used to and love dancing the way I used to. I believe 40 is when you begin to appreciate what life is and how it is meant to be.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by staying true to myself and not worry about what I cannot control. I do not spend time worrying about what others may think on how to live life. I stay true to my values and the ones that I love and continue to spread good vibes and energy around them. I wear my heart on my sleeve and the only way I am able to spread love with others is to love myself above all. I love the person I see in the mirror everyday and remind myself that self-love and care is a top priority for me.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would make sure my mother would get the best gift I could possibly buy her. At the end of the day, she is the reason for me being on this earth and ever since I was a little girl, I always wanted to make sure she was happy and I want to make sure she got the best gift she could possibly ask for. I would then spread some of the rest among my 3 kids and make sure they use their money wisely. If there is anything left over, I would love to use it towards a trip with my husband to an island.
