Everything! The freedom I feel now to just go for what I want and not really worry about anyone else’s opinions has been amazing. I also feel like I have found my own voice and am able to advocate for the things I want. I also feel like is the most fulfilled I have ever been with my family and work. Mostly I am just more at peace and I think that comes with age and wisdom.
How do you stay fabulous?It’s natural! Just kidding. Kind of. 😁 Since turning 40 I have really invested the time into taking better care of myself, inside and out. Morning and night time skincare routine. I have just discovered the miracle that is tumeric soap and my skin is smoother than it has ever been. I hydrate and moisturize daily. I have become a lot more mindful of what is going into my body, but also what goes into my mind, if that makes sense. Staying away from negativity. Traveling and loving on my family!
What would you do with the $40,000?Travel!! I would love to take my babies to Europe and really give them the experience. My husband and I recently built our dream home and there are a few projects we would love to complete, like creating a backyard oasis to create even more amazing memories. Put a lot of it into saving so my kids’ futures will have a secure financial head start whether they choose to go to college or not. And pinch myself because I would have won $40,000!!! 😁😁
