I feel I’m a fab “ 48 “ not due to material/ physical milestones but by learning to accept my flaws and teaching my children to do the same.
We would like to thank you for supporting Melissa Cappello 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.
I feel I can finally be honest with myself and my convictions as s woman ,nurse, wife, mother, artist / musician . In your 20’s you may believe in something, ( but not really feel free to express it)not speaking for everyone, I know this to be true for myself . I finally know who I am “ completely “ in this world. I am not wondering about my past , or future. I am finally truly in the “ present “ . And that feels incredible. Tommorow is not guaranteed so we need to live life to the “ fullest “
How do you stay fabulous?I feel that staying “ fabulous “ means having your own personal style , despite the trends . Enjoying your own forms of art, music , literature, fashion . Whatever speaks to your soul. Treating others how you want to be treated. Having your own signature scent, aesthetic, Instilling values in my daughters, and my son that they can be anyone they want to be . I’ve never been one to let societal norms define me . I also stay fabulous by staying “ unique”, and “ humble “ and by respecting others.
What would you do with the $40,000?I would use the money to further my children’s education, and pay part of my home.would also give some money to women/ and children who have endured sexual/ domestic/abuse.Also I would donate to and research to autoimmune/ inflammatory disorders like mine ( yao’s syndrome) as well as to mental health disorders and substance abuse / ptsd to veterans .And.,as this competition continues to support breast cancer research, and victims. I would honestly be so happy and grateful to win!
