Sonja Morgan's Secrets to Ageless Beauty: It's All About Friends and Diet!
SONJA MORGAN'S SECRET TO YOUTHFUL PERFECTION REVEALED!
The queen of Real Housewives of New York City, Sonja Morgan, is still slaying the game at 61, and we can't help but wonder what her secret to eternal youthfulness is. While some might attribute it to a pricey face cream or a string of facelifts (which she did admit to getting in 2021), the reality TV star swears by a much more holistic approach.
In an exclusive interview with TheScholarlyNote.com, Sonja dished out her secrets to maintaining her radiant complexion and how she's been able to keep it that way for all these years. And trust us, you'll want to take notes!
"Doing the show was definitely drama-filled," Sonja confessed, "But I think if you live your life truthfully, with a good conscience, and get enough sleep, that will always show." She emphasized the importance of having healthy relationships in her life, which she credits for her glowing skin. "I learned when I was modeling in Europe to just let go of drama and keep moving on," she shared.
But it's not all about letting bygones be bygones; Sonja also stressed the significance of prioritizing quality relationships. "The latest science shows that people who live the longest have good relationships, and the more the better!" she exclaimed.
So, what's Sonja's secret to a good night's sleep? It's not just about getting enough rest; it's about eating well too! The fashion icon swears by the Mediterranean diet, which she says helps her maintain her youthful appearance. "I follow the Mediterranean diet, but I also do the MIND diet, and every now and then, I'll indulge in some red meat," Sonja revealed.
But here's the thing: it's not about indulging all the time; it's about balance. "The latest science shows that eating red meat once a week is perfectly fine, and that's what I do," she said with a smile. And we have to say, her Instagram posts showcasing her healthy plates of lettuce wrap tacos and refreshing lemon-topped beverages are seriously inspiring.
Of course, Sonja's also talked about the importance of downtime for oneself. "Besides sleeping well, which keeps your cortisol levels down and stress at bay, make sure you have time for yourself," she advised. And we're guessing that's exactly what she's doing right now, sipping champagne and lounging by the pool at Canyon Ranch.
In fact, Sonja is currently relaxing at the luxury spa in Tucson, Arizona, where she's been indulging in non-stop classes and enjoying healthy meals (because, you know, self-care). And it looks like her hard work is paying off – we're talking seriously fit physique, folks!
But let's get back to those friendships. Sonja's always talked about how the Real Housewives castmates became more than just co-stars; they became a family. "We were all friends before the show," she said, "And I think that was the key to our success." The OG Beauties (as they lovingly call themselves) still keep in touch through their private text chain, where Kelly Bensimon is the mastermind behind it all.
"We're still close today," Sonja shared. "I ran into Bethenny at a Ryan Murphy premiere and we were both so excited to see each other." And as for Dorinda Medley? Well, let's just say they had an emotional reunion backstage at a women's empowerment event. "It's real, guys – our friendships are genuine," Sonja emphasized.
In fact, the cast is so close that they even keep track of each other's whereabouts. When Ramona Singer went missing for three hours, her friends were worried sick – but then she turned up playing golf! "We're like a family dealing with drama and getting through it because we have too much to lose," Sonja said.
And let's be real; we've all seen the drama-filled moments on RHONY. But Sonja swears that their genuine friendships are what made the show so successful in the first place. "Andy Cohen wrote in his book that the best franchises are the ones where you really are friends," she shared. And we couldn't agree more.
So there you have it, folks – Sonja Morgan's secrets to youthfulness and happiness. It's not about a quick fix or a pricey face cream; it's about living your life truthfully, having healthy relationships, eating well, getting enough sleep, and taking time for yourself. And if all else fails, just remember: the OG Beauties have got your back!
