What do you love about being over 40?

I think as you get older, you begin to understand what truly matters to you. Happiness, health, family, unconditional love for yourself first and foremost. Knowing your past mistakes and learning and growing from them! Truly feeling comfortable living in your own skin is the only way to live. Embrace your individuality and what makes you, YOU!

How do you stay fabulous?

By always being true to myself and never letting anyone ever dim my light again! I will truly shine always. Working out, making healthy lifestyle choices and staying active makes me feel fabulous. Wearing beautiful dresses does not hurt either and a nice pair of stilettos! Surrounding myself with happiness and loved ones makes me feel loved, fulfilled and happy. Which in turns makes me feel fabulous and truly blessed!

What would you do with the $40,000?

I would set aside a fair amount to invest in retirement. My son and I have big milestone birthdays next year. I turn 50 and my son turns 18 in August. I want to take him on a fabulous trip and treat some friends as well. Definitely do a little retail therapy and stash away the rest.
