A Letter From the Editor: The Beauty of Becoming — Why I’m Proud to Be Fabulous Over 40

There’s something magical about reaching a stage in life where you no longer need validation — you embody it.

Stepping into my 40s has been a journey of unlearning, rediscovering, and fully embracing the woman I’ve become. And being a part of the Fabulous Over 40 Contest has reminded me that our beauty doesn’t fade — it deepens.

From the Top 20 to the Top 10, this journey has been more than a competition; it’s been a celebration of every woman who’s ever rebuilt, redefined, and risen with grace.

Because life after 40 isn’t about slowing down — it’s about stepping up, glowing harder, and owning every inch of your evolution.

Read the full letter and cast your daily vote to help me represent what fabulous truly looks like after 40.

Thoughts of a Blog Queen: “Rise, Shine, & Mind Your Damn Business” (a.k.a. Your Self-Care)

Let’s be honest: mornings can feel like a setup. The alarm clock is rude, your group chat is already a mess, and your to-do list is giving side-eye. But what if your mornings weren’t chaos? What if they were calm, sacred, and just a little bougie?

In this post, I’m breaking down how a morning routine isn’t about perfection—it’s about preserving your peace. Plus, I’m putting you on to my top 3 ride-or-die products that kickstart my day: my green goddess chlorophyll shot, a glow-boosting vitamin C serum, and my non-negotiable self-care journal tracker.

Because if I’m not moisturized, detoxed, and mindfully journaling… I’m not available. 😌✨
