At 48, I thrive in my career, solo travel the world, and cherish every change. Confident, independent, and loving who I am—fabulous over 40!

What I love most about being over 40 is the deep sense of independence I’ve gained. At 48, I feel unshakeable confidence in who I am. I embrace my beauty in all its forms, from the changes in my body to the wisdom in my skin and the stories in my hair. Every change reflects my journey, and I cherish each one. There’s a unique freedom that comes from truly loving and accepting yourself, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. This is the most beautiful version of me yet.
How do you stay fabulous?Staying fabulous over 40 means embracing life with passion and purpose. I work hard and play hard, from traveling the world to meeting new people and discovering new experiences. I care for myself inside and out—mentally, physically, and emotionally—because true beauty starts within. Staying close to those I love and nurturing those connections fills my life with joy. I live fully, love deeply, and take on every adventure with confidence, and that’s what keeps me thriving.
What would you do with the $40,000?If I had $40,000, I would use it to give back and support causes close to my heart. I’d donate to organizations like the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association, which are committed to saving lives and advancing research. I would also give to the poor, because I believe in uplifting others. Giving is something we should all do—it’s self-fulfilling and brings true joy. Knowing that my contributions could change lives makes me feel even more grateful and purposeful.
