Subject: Hot Girl Summer!
Hey Fab Fam,
As summer is here, I can’t help but feel that familiar excitement. Being from the Caribbean, summer always feels like home to me. I know many of us who are originally from the islands or from Latin America really look forward to this season, especially after those long, chilly months that can sometimes bring on that seasonal slump.
But let’s be honest: summer in our 50s has a different flavor than summer in our 20s and 30s. Back then, we were all about the late nights, the wild adventures, the spontaneous road trips, and some hard partying. Now, we find joy in a different kind of summer magic.
Instead of chasing the next thrill, we’re creating experiences that nourish our souls. Maybe it’s a peaceful morning gym session on the beach, a leisurely wine tour, or brunch with friends. Now don’t get me wrong. It’s not about slowing down; it’s about savoring the moments and honoring what our minds and bodies need.
So, here’s to a fabulous summer, filled with all the joy, relaxation, and self-care that we deserve. Cheers to making this summer just as unforgettable as any other!
With love and sunshine, Izzie

Let’s Talk About Money
Here’s something a lot more women are saying after 50:
“I want my money working for me, not the other way around.”
We’ve spent decades showing up—for family, careers, everybody else. But now? It’s our turn. And no, that doesn’t mean hustling harder. It means getting smarter.
Smarter about where our money sits. Smarter about investing—not the Wall Street chaos kind, but the “let’s grow this steadily” kind. Dividends. Passive income. Real returns. Quiet power moves that let us build wealth without burning out.
