What is Fab Over 40?

What do you love about being over 40?

After a year-long battle with illness, countless tests and doctor visits, I was diagnosed with Colon Cancer due to my Lynch Syndrome 8 years ago. Surgery was the best option, which found a mass that was hidden, and if not found, would have progressed to stage 3 or 4, within the very week of my surgery. Because of Lynch, I was given a full hysterotomy. I have lost one still and one live birth, to lupus, been in a house fire that could have taken my life, and yet, I stand here today at 55.

How do you stay fabulous?

I stay fabulous by knowing the value of life, and the meaning of seeing the glass half full. I surround myself with positive people and energy. Life is truly too short to focus on the negative and waste your time being angry or bitter, it shortens the lifespan and tears my mind and body down. I've been fortunate to have abundant love, support, and unwavering faith that helped me through. Sadly, not everyone is as fortunate, and that's why we strive to make a positive difference.

What would you do with the $40,000?

I look to expand TresLeBon Lifecation & I.M.I.B, both looking for ways to give back. IN ME IC BEAUTY is cosmetics and health, the products are meant and designed, especially for those whose skin has been affected by illness. Between Lupus and Cancer, I understand the need for specialized products. Above all, creating a supportive community, featuring a Doctor's Q&A, a Mommy Corner, a Mental Health Line, and so much more. I am happy to say, that I have several doctors ready to assist.
