In my case, fabulously over 50 (almost!) is loving who I am, and building other woman up so they also feel plenty and fabulous.

Accumulated mistakes & life experiences have helped me develop my inner worth & pure positive energy. Losing my mom to cancer at an early age shifted things for me and then caring for my husband during his cancer shifted things for me – I quit a corporate job I had for nearly 20 years & started a skincare business. Went back to school, got a university degree in health, clinical certifications and developed two small skincare businesses. I am now the Goddess of my own domain.
How do you stay fabulous?Staying fabulous to me means personal fulfillment. This means, which was very difficult for me to do, was to stop worrying about the opinion of others, trying to challenge myself every day and working on accepting what I cannot change - including aging! I enjoy plant-based lifestyle, world travel, exercise, lots of skincare & yoga for inner peace. Small things like smiling at a stranger, having a little laugh every day and love lots. Beautiful things happen when I channel my feminine divine.
What would you do with the $40,000?It is not easy to talk positively about myself - but focussing on my positive aspects sure makes life more grand. With the money, I would love to use for a trip to Bali for a woman's retreat to continue my personal growth and inner peace, as it's been something I've always wished to do. Being around strong women who build each other up is important. In addition, I volunteer for both cancer organizations and low income assisting organizations, which I would love to give a charitable donation to.
