What do you love about being over 40?

I love that the older I get the more I’m able to thrive because I genuinely care less and less about what other people think of me. When I was younger I was so focused on what others thought and would allow their opinions and judgements to influence my every decision. Now with age I’m finally confident in the person I’ve become and am finally in a place where I feel beautiful inside and outside and I believe that it’s in finding the beauty within that allows me to shine.

How do you stay fabulous?

I stay fabulous by always lending an ear to anyone in need and putting others feelings first. You’ll never hear me be mean or judgmental of anyone. I think everyone is so beautiful in their own way and with age one of the main things that has allowed me to be at peace with myself is the fundamental belief that the world is such a beautiful place because of the fact that we’re all so unique and that if you truly listen to each persons story there’s always something you can take away and learn.

What would you do with the $40,000?

If I were to win the $40 000 I would probably do the most normal thing first which is to pay off all my debts. Secondly, I sadly recently lost both of my parents in the last 4 years. My mom happened to pass away while on vacation in Mexico and I promised my dad when he passed not long after that I would make my way back to Mexico to scatter some of his ashes with her there, so I would definitely do that with the money as well.
