Connect What do you love about being over 40?

I love the wisdom and freedom that comes with being a bit older. Also, confidence definitely comes with age. As women, we worry too much about what others think and constantly compare ourselves to them. As you age you no longer care (or care as much) and most women are there to uplift and support each other. You definitely are more comfortable in your own skin!

How do you stay fabulous?

By working out daily, eating healthy (most of the time) staying up on trends and taking care of myself. Connecting with nature on a morning walk is a great way to start the day. Having beautiful and awesome friends and family keeps me positive and I thoroughly enjoy being around them. I also think it's important to surround yourself with fabulous people! Positivity is contagious! I also have learned to respond and not react - its a game changer.

What would you do with the $40,000?

I am starting my own business and would love to have this cash to jump-start it. My jewelry business and my passion is to help women feel good about themselves and have a little bling. Not to mention I am helping put my son through college and the tuition is very costly. These funds would allow me to help my son graduate with minimal debt and also be part of something fun for women!
