Fabulous Over 50

Hello Fabulous!

Jen Hardy here. Wow, what a journey it's been! Let me take you back a bit to 2018—a time my doctors believed would be my final year on this beautiful planet. They told me I'd need a ventilator to breathe, basically predicting I'd be walking around with what felt like a giant backpack. Well, guess what? Here I am, breathing and walking on my own, almost hitting 2025! If that's not a miracle, I don't know what is.

Hey there, fabulous friends!

Welcome back to the blog where I spill the tea on everything that's boosting our energy, spirit, and overall fabulousness! Today, I had an absolute blast chatting with the one and only Beth from "Beth's Best Hair" (BB Hair for the insiders). If you've ever dreamt of switching up your look with wigs or are dealing with that dreaded hair loss, buckle up because Beth is serving up all the deets on wig wearing.

Hello Fabulous!

It’s Jen, back with another chat with Judge Boyd!  And did we cover a lot of ground in this chat - everything from the trials of parenting to the timeless joy of snapping Polaroid pictures!

Judge Boyd had us laughing and nodding in agreement as she shared her love for gardening, future travel dreams, and a wish for singing abilities that sadly don't extend past the shower. (I can relate, there's a reason Shower Thoughts are only spoken) 

But her love for reading and advocating for bringing back good old-fashioned kindness made love her even more.

On a more profound note, Judge Boyd’s journey through the legal labyrinth was truly inspiring. She spoke candidly about her choice to attend Saint Mary's in San Antonio (despite a tempting offer from Pepperdine) and how her faith guided every pivotal life decision. Judge Boyd Texas is exactly the perfect courtroom for her. Her reflections on representing clients against all odds and maintaining decorum in the courtroom were eye-opening. 

And she had some fabulous advice for those who need to go to court, be sure to listen and find out!
