I feel I have become a kinder, more patient and more giving woman being over 40. I'm a better Mom, wife and I'm at peace in my life.
We would like to thank you for supporting Val DeShazer in this year's competition. Your support helps us contribute to the National Breast Cancer Foundation who provides early detection, education, and support services to those affected by breast cancer.
What I love most about being over 40 is that I know who I am as a woman. I am very comfortable in my own skin. I love the confidence I have when I walk into any room that I didn't have as a younger woman! Everyone has their little insecurities and I am no different but I don't allow them to define who I am or how I feel about myself!
How do you stay fabulous?I try really hard to take care of myself. While my health issues(rheumatoid arthritis & fibromyalgia) prevent me from being as active as i used to be I do try to stay busy. I love being around my kids and grandkids and that keeps me going! I keep up with the latest trends and styles and try to incorporate them into my looks, fashion, design etc. My husband and I try to do fun things together and travel as we are able!
What would you do with the $40,000?5 years ago my husband and I set out to become debt free. We started building a tiny home and have done all of the finishing process ourselves out of our own pockets! The 40k would allow us to finish it completely and be debt free for our retirement years! Also we would take our family on a trip to spend time together and make memories!!
