What is Fab Over 40?

What do you love about being over 40?

The confidence that comes with it. The I don’t give a cr@p what others think attitude:) As well as the wisdom that comes along, how we can manage our emotions and admit and heal from any trauma we may have experienced.

How do you stay fabulous?

I do not think I am fabulous however I do try to be healthy and be my own best version of myself for my two boys aged 20 and 16 by trying to go to gym, eat healthy, spend time with loved ones and work hard.

What would you do with the $40,000?

Sleep on it for the first night :) It will absolutely change my life and my kids’ life. My oldest is in third year in McGill university and my youngest one is in grade 11. They come from a broken marriage so financially they have been aware of what they can ask for. I would love to treat them to a special trip so they can see a small part this world. Would also help them with their school fees & if anything is left, I want to treat myself to a shopping spree either in New York or London.
