What do you love about being over 40?

The wisdom and things I’ve learned. My past has defined who I am now. We are all different characters throughout our life that teach us different things. They define who we become. Some don’t like getting older, I feel it’s a privilege! We get to be who and whatever we want to be now without caring what others think. It feels good to feel proud of myself, feel good in my own skin… and flaunt it !!

How do you stay fabulous?

I take great care of everything - my hair, my skin, my nails,, etc… I am a product junkie! Ha ha i use only the best products on my skin especially - we only get one face- we must take care of it. I stay out of the sun. I was born and raised in the south. Southern women are taught to dress up, and show up. So I own way more “fancy” clothes than anything else. I love to be all dressed up and put together…that’s when I feel the most fabulous !

What would you do with the $40,000?

I would take my husband and parents on a trip to Italy. We have always wanted to go. My parents have never traveled overseas and it would be an experience of a lifetime for them! Memories with them are my most treasured experiences! The remaining money I would use to add on to my kitchen, because my favorite thing in the world is to cook for my family. It’s my love language ! Big meals with the whole family makes my heart full! Adding more space to fill it with more love would be just the best!
