Hey Fab Friends,

Guess what? It's my birthday month, and I am really excited. I'm even more excited that I've stepped into 51, kicking off a brand-new chapter with my Fab at Fifty Plus brand. There's something truly special about celebrating another year of life, especially when embracing all the beautiful things that come with being over 50.

Reflecting on the Journey So Far

As I turn 51, I can't help but look back at the journey that brought me here. I wouldn't trade any of the highs, the lows, and the lessons, but let's get real. I'm ready for some pure joy. Each year has added a new layer to who I am today, and I'm so grateful for all the experiences that have shaped me. I know many of you can relate, whether you're just entering your 50s or you've been on this path for a while.

For most of my adult life, I've struggled to truly enjoy life and be happy with who I am and where I am. It's been a journey that's deeply connected to my experience of emigration and the often overwhelming feelings of not fitting in.

For years, I wrestled with the sense that I was always on the outside looking in, trying to find my place in a world that often felt foreign and unfamiliar. Those feelings took a toll on my confidence and ability to embrace life fully. But as I approached my 50s, something inside me shifted. I realized I didn't want to spend another decade feeling out of place or questioning my worth. I knew it was time for a change, and that's when the idea for Fab at Fifty Plus was born.

Starting Fab at Fifty Plus is all about reclaiming my joy, embracing who I am, and celebrating the beauty of life after 50. It's about creating a space where women like me—who may have felt lost, out of place, or unsure of themselves—can come together, share their stories, and support one another as we navigate this incredible stage of life. It's a space where we can be real, have fun, and, most importantly, focus on what makes us feel fabulous—inside and out.

Join Me for a Month of Self-Care Challenges

I'm kicking off my birthday month with something extra special: a self-care challenge! Many of us often neglect to take care of ourselves. That's why every day this month, I'll share simple, easy-to-follow self-care challenges and tips. Whether it's taking a few minutes to meditate, enjoying a long walk in nature, or treating ourselves to something we love, self-care is essential. And what better time to focus on it than during my birthday month? Let's make a pact to put ourselves first, even if it's just for a little while each day.

I'd love for you to join me on this journey, whether you're here for the stories, the self-care challenge, or just to share in the joy of turning 51 with me. Life is meant to be celebrated, and what better way to do it than together?
