What do you love about being over 40?

I love being over 40 as I lived through so many life experiences. I have the ability to see my children grow through so many different stages in their lives. After living through so much in my life I love having the ability to have personal and spiritual growth.

How do you stay fabulous?

I enjoy taking care of my skin and body as being older that tends to be important. I enjoy staying on trends and infusing my own style.

What would you do with the $40,000?

I would use the money to purchase safe & reliable transportation that I need to travel back and forth for cancer treatment. I would also pay off debt we have incurred since my cancer diagnosis.
