Luisa Morrone

I am more confident than I was in my 20's and 30's. I was a people pleaser, always doing for others but not for myself. I would say "Yes" when I really wanted to say "No" driven by the fear of rejection or disappointing others. Now I take care of me first. As well, I love fashion but I was obese and couldn't fit into the clothes I am now able to wear. I now enjoy wearing all sorts of different styles, and fabulous outfits in various colors (I used to only wear black or navy).

I have always been curious and will ask a thousand questions. I am always reading, learning, staying active and creating new recipes. As a diabetic, I enjoy cooking and creating amazing meals and desserts that don't impact my blood sugars or my husband's who is also a diabetic. I was someone who never cared for exercise but now I do weight training and HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training). I also love dancing; my husband and I will spend the entire night on the dance floor!

I would use a portion of the money to take my family on a vacation as we haven't been away for a while. I would donate some of the money to the Breast Cancer Foundation as I lost one of my favorite cousins to this disease and have another cousin and a friend who have beaten the disease. I would also spend some of it on a new outfit! My late father was a big fan of Gianni Versace so to honor my dad I would get a fabulous Versace dress and wear it the next time I go dancing with my husband!
