At Thanksgiving, I always start at the top of my list and say I'm grateful for friends, family, and good health. Then I get more superficial... like being thankful for my Louboutins.Collection: Thanksgiving
Some people think happiness is a luxury, but it's a necessity. You need to make space for it in your life.Collection: Space
I like coffee in the morning and decaf green tea throughout the day... When I was younger and modeling, to kick-start a diet I would do a juice cleanse.Collection: Diet
My work makes me a better mom. It gives me a little door to step out of my parenting and bring the excitement from my day back home.Collection: Parenting
Adopting a really positive attitude can work wonders to adding years to your life, a spring to your step, a sparkle to your eye, and all of that.Collection: Attitude
I've always believed in a rainbow diet. As many colors and foods as you can eat, the better, because if you focus on one food, there's bound to be a report that comes out that says, 'Broccoli actually... ' So I mix it up a lot. And I take vitamins, like Biosil, which I take for my hair, skin, and nails.Collection: Diet
Share your smile with the world. It's a symbol of friendship and peace.Collection: Peace
I love musicians. I think artists are the most amazing people because they're constantly creating beauty for the world. With all the crazy stuff going on in the world, then there's artists reminding us of our humanity and reminding us of our heart and soul and what really matters.Collection: Beauty
After the first miscarriage, I tried to take the attitude that it was my body's way of telling me that this pregnancy wasn't meant to be.Collection: Attitude
No matter what your age is, you only have now. So it's always about living in the moment and being in the moment... I refuse to let those numbers define me, and I just try to face each day positively.Collection: Age
Smile. It instantly lifts the face, and it just lights up the room.Collection: Smile
I believe in true love, and I believe in happy endings. And I believe.Collection: Love
We decided to try in vitro, because both Peter and I felt we couldn't handle another failure. When I miscarried after that, we had to come to terms with the possibility that this wasn't meant to be.Collection: Failure
Because I'm an older mom, I have a responsibility to my kids as well as myself. I want to be there for them.Collection: Mom
A smile is like an instant facelift and an instant mood lift.Collection: Smile
My smile has been my ticket to the world. Smiling releases the same feel-good hormones you get jogging. Caring for your lips and gums is important. I brush my teeth morning and night, alternating toothpaste brands. In addition to flossing, I use a Water Pik to massage my gums and remove food particles.Collection: Smile
I had a gorgeous mom. She was beautiful, so I lucked out there.Collection: Mom
I think that ultimately your age is determined by your attitude. It's not the number; it's not how many wrinkles you have on your face. It's the energy that you project.Collection: Attitude
I'd rather have a broken arm than a broken heart.
The more you give, the more you get - it's a cliche, but it's really true.
When you turn 60, the key is to not stop moving. Once you start to stop moving, you rust. You got to just keep going.
I must've got whacked on the head. He presented a totally false person for me to fall in love with.
I would be remiss when talking about beauty secrets to not say that one of the best is to care about the world around you. That's what really matters.
I liberally apply sunscreen and wear hats.
I think many people can relate to that excruciating pain of love gone wrong. I'd rather have a broken arm than a broken heart.
Life is too short to not have oysters and champagne sometimes.
All I ever wanted was a big, happy family.
Most of the time, I've got my kids with me, so I'm not as prone to meeting people. And then, you never really know if someone is talking to you because you're a celebrity.
Some days I don't have time for a full workout, but I do have to dry my hair, right? So rather than just stand there blow-drying, I do several kinds of leg squats at the same time. I believe in multitasking.
I just found out that I'm one inch taller than I thought.
People say, 'You look so great for your age,' and I say, 'OK, you can leave off the 'for your age' part. Can we all stop qualifying it?'
I wish my butt did not go sideways, but I guess I have to face that.
Life is short. Ricky and I realize how lucky we were. We want to be together all the time.
Just because people can express themselves through their art doesn't mean they are great communicators in person.
I have this helicopter crash, and I fall in love with this man who was in the crash with me. I must have been suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome.
I don't count that relationship with Ricky. It's just like a blip at this point. I had to fall in love with the devil himself to get this sweet angel, Jack.
Four months is a lot of living with that little life in you-thinking about it, eating right for it, nurturing it and all of a sudden, it dies.
Basically he never went to work and didn't have a job. Of course I thought he did. I thought he was on the phone doing business deals instead of borrowing money from people.
If a person lies to you about what's in their bank account, they'll lie to you about other things as well.
Go ahead and have the Kit Kat at the movies. If you don't satisfy an urge sometimes, you often substitute less-satisfying things and end up eating more.
I've been a vegetarian since I was about 12 years old. When I became a vegetarian, I got my mom and dad to become vegetarian, and my brother became a vegetarian.
Lunch is a big huge salad with every color in it. From leafy greens to purple to herbs, fresh cut herbs mixed into it for flavors. I vary what I toss into it. Sometimes it might be lentils and chopped tomatoes, other days it could be garbanzo beans, some days I might have just a salad and have some lentil soup on the side.
My age has so little to do with my image of myself because at a certain point, the number just didn't fit how I felt. It has become irrelevant to me. I just don't feel like that number is representative of my spirit, of my energy or my anything!
I get bored if I do the same thing. The only constant that I have in my life is that I start whatever I do with my Total Gym, because I believe it helps keep me from getting injured.
My biggest deterrent to getting the workout I need is just that my days are so full and so busy.
I think variety is the spice of sticking with an exercise routine, whether it's getting a dance tape one day, or getting a tape with those stretchy things to work with resistance on a different day.
Your job as a parent is to listen. And to dole out as much love as you can. That includes tough love.
I don't really seek out vegetarian spots... but mainly, I know how to work a menu no matter where I am.
We're the generation that says 60 is the new 30. We don't let the numbers shape us; we're reshaping the numbers.
I really believe that being flexible and grateful contributes a lot to your happiness, which contributes to your health and contributes to your look.
