I turned 40 earlier this year and changed my life. I changed careers and am in esthetician school in NYC. I graduate next week!
We would like to thank you for supporting Lara Battema 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.
There’s something unique and freeing about turning 40. I love the fact that I have more mental freedom. I feel more confident, empowered, and comfortable in my own skin. I feel like I can do anything with a lot less fear than I used to have. For a long time, I felt suffocated by fear and now I feel more confident in my life. Finally!
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by taking care of myself from the inside out. I make time to exercise, eat healthfully, and hang out with friends and family. I love to travel and try to a couple new countries every year. I think it’s important to learn new things. Traveling teaches you a lot about other cultures and also yourself.
What would you do with the $40,000?Wow, I would be so grateful if I ever won. With $40,000 I would invest in future esthetics training to learn more techniques, build a beautiful skincare studio in my community, and hire a great team with wonderful human beings.
