Martha Reveals Her Secrets!
How is she able to be so damn perfect and do it all???
Well, she's telling us - in her own words!
"Martha Stewart: How Martha retains her Martha-ness
SEVERAL TIMES a day I'm asked to describe the daily routine that permits me to do all I do - maintaining a very busy schedule while still feeling good. I thought I would, once and for all, attempt to write it all down and share it with you here.
1. SKIN CARE: Skin care is vital, and my routine includes a thorough cleansing every morning and night. Toners, enriching day and night creams, and serums keep my skin elastic and supple and glowing. Sunblocks, balms and skin healers are also necessary as preventive treatments.
2. GYM: My home gym is furnished with aerobic machines, weights and Cybex machines, and has a lovely view of the farm, a television so I can watch the news while running on the treadmill, and yoga equipment. The importance of aerobic exercise cannot be overemphasized. Aerobics keep weight down and stamina up.
3. MORNING JUICE: Every morning I drink about 8 ounces of what I call "green juice." I use a juicer to make a blend of spinach, celery, cucumber, carrot and some fruit - pear, apple, pomegranate, plum, peach, a bit of orange peel and a small piece of ginger. The more of these ingredients that come from my organic garden, the better. I actually feel a jolt of energy when I imbibe these drinks.
4. CALENDAR: An organized calendar with every meeting, trip and appointment carefully listed and timed enables me to accomplish a lot each day. Each appointment is listed with phone numbers of all the principals. Addresses include cross streets so no time is wasted in finding a location.
5. WALKING: My favorite outdoor activity has always been hiking or walking. Good footwear, good socks and a jacket with pockets (for water and a cell phone) are crucial items of clothing.
6. EXERCISE: Weights are all-important for bone health and body toning, and yoga is essential for calming the mind and strengthening the body's core. I love weights for arms and shoulders, and my Pilates ring for strengthening thighs, arms and chest. A yoga block, a ring and a yoga strap come with me wherever I go, so I can at least get a bit of a workout when I'm on the road.
7. WATER: I have three offices in addition to my home office. Alongside every one of my computers I keep a pitcher of mineral water infused with lemon, lime, orange, or cucumber and mint. I find that I drink more if the pitcher is there as a reminder.
8. HAIR CARE: Because I have my hair styled so often, I wash it almost every day. I use a variety of shampoos and conditioners to keep my hair from becoming dry or brittle. Sometimes I visit my colorist for a glossing, which seems to infuse my hair with a new vitality.
9. DAILY MAINTENANCE: Skin care is not the only daily routine one must adhere to. An electric toothbrush is essential for gum care and shiny white teeth, along with a good dental-care program (twice a year cleanings and checkups). Mouthwash and salt-water gargles are also helpful in keeping colds and sore throats from developing. Feet, hands, arms and legs should also be cared for.
10. RELAXATION: I do try to find some time, perhaps not every day but as often as possible, to curl up with a new book - often downloaded onto my Kindle - or to watch a movie. A great cup of tea or even a homemade cappuccino (one shot of espresso only) is an added perk and pleasure.
Last but not least, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of children, spouses, significant others and pets in our daily lives. They are the real reason we do what we do outside the home, in our work and in our play. And a few minutes of every day are spent on the phone catching up with close friends."
Good tips!

Chris Brown is a lady magnet - 
You're still and old ugly bitch.
Give us some of the tips that you learned while in jail. That would be worth reading.
She's so much better than gwyneth Goop Paltrow
Hey Martha, I got some " Morning Juice" for ya, it's loaded with protein!You don't need 8 ounces either, 10cc's will do ya!
Perez only posted this cause she had him on his show.
All great ideas. I think Martha has changed a lot since she was in jail. She seems fun and happy now whereas before she seemed uppity and mean.
I want her money fecking old hag.
She takes good care of that orange peel complextion.
COMPLEXION!
MARTHA IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT ABOUT ALL HER REGIMENS..SHE DOES LOOK GOOD FOR SOMEONE WHO IS 63….IF I WAS RICH LIKE HER THEN MAY BE I WOULD FOLLOW HER DAILY RITUALS DITTO BUT THAT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL SO WE CAN STRIVE FOR IT…HOWEVER, I WISH SHE WOULD TALK ALSO ABOUT HOW GIVING TO CHARITABLE CAUSES AND HELPING OTHERS IN NEED CAN ALSO ENRICH OUR SPIRITS AS WELL..ESPECIALLY FOR SOMEONE LIKE HER WHO HAS SO MUCHC MONEY AND HAS BEEN HUMBLED W. IMPRISONMENT
Much has been written about how she is such a bitch and abuses her staff but I do believe that essentially Martha is a good person. She appears to learn from her mistakes and doesn't keep herself relevent through ridiculous and negative self promotion. At least she has a touch of class despite being a very type A personality! Other celebs a generation her junior should watch and learn!
Are you fucking serious!
Shit, Shower and Shave would have done the trick Martha.
What a frightening thought to think that people need to be told to cleanse their face and brush their teeth everyday. Wow really….thanks for the amazing tip.
Pul…ease!!!!
very,Very,VERY HIGHT MAINTANENCE!!!
I thought the old hag would be dead by now.
Ah, that why they call it Martha Stewart living.
She learned this in jail?
Whatever, Martha! I'm not reading all that!
Re: harrybalsac – Drink more water and stop wearing these tight jeans, and you will have more "cc's" for martha in the morning!
Sheeeshus Criminy! Who, but a stuck-up celebrity has the time and money to maintain a regimen like this?
Gaaaaawd! ::gagging::
Re: tigger – No, that's all the ball gravy this bitch is gettin' from me!
Re: harrybalsac – lol
Re: harrybalsac – I bet the secret ingredient in her morning juice is tiger jizz.
Just reading her damn list makes me feel exhausted. Did she ever stop to think about the children of the world who die of starvation every day ?
Honestly, She sounds like a self absorbed tool. and all those "juices", exercise (ha ha) and mineral waters arent helping much! when is the last time you got laid Martha?
Her outfit is so ugly.
I already do that! Nothing new. Tell me something new. It's call taking care of yourself. Hi Harry and all!!
Sheba,
As well as plenty of ass to mouth throughout the day!
She is 67, over-educates America, lives all alone and waits for her heart attack. While she is waiting for her heart attack she is raking in more money she will never spend. Time well waisted, Martha. "A few minutes" are all you have for your old friends? Ha! How dare you educating us how to lead our lives !!!!
They're good tips, but she sounds like a complete tool…
Just give me a bottle of Grey Goose and Diet Coke and I'm good. Good God where in the hell does this woman find time to do all of this.
Most of what she says makes sense, but her bragging and arrogance are offensive. Do we really need to know that she has three offices in addition to her home office? Or that "her" gym has a nice view of the farm? So full of her self, ugh.
Oh yeah, we can do that too…if we had money….for a staff to help us with everything too. Disgusting c*nt!
HarryBalsac, you always have me LOL! Crude bastard. hahaha
and what about washing our butt crack martha? every day? every other day? twice a day with lemon-infused mineral water? don't leave us hanging.
Whatever that green juice is, she should bottle it and sell it. I'd buy it ! It sounds healthy.
Okay, so is it just me, or is Martha Stewart a Dick?
i actually like these tips…she's obviously a wise woman; whether you like her or not.
TRY AND BE POSITIVE AND SHINE IN 2009 PEOPLE!! SOME OF THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS BELOW ARE SO UNNECESSARY… peace.
What is wrong with her hands!? Uckies…!
…..and… 11/ a 12 pack of bud light
she forgot the last one:
11. Sell ur soul to Satan at an early age.
Good tips…agreed.
Re: LiveItLoveItKC – Oh please spare us the sarcasm.
Re: LiveItLoveItKC – Lame sarcasm
People need to understand that a year is not a long time…you are all going to be 50, 60, 70 before you know it. Stop bashing people because they age. Everyone ages.
Re: moxiecrimefighter – Perhaps, because life's hard knocks teach empathy. Everyone learns empathy sooner or later….better sooner!
This was a relatively worthy post.
Moron
Who exactly has time for all that crap in the real world????
Nice life Martha! Martha is also a star in the Cheech and Chong roast. Don't miss it! quite funny
Yeah….but
blah blah blah
SHE'S F-A-T
She is as big as a house….
AND I agree with lots of you
When you are rich (because I used to be and now I'm not) it is easy to have and do all of this because Other people are doing all the dirty work and not trying to scrape dinner together etc….pick up after everyone and keep a smile on my face….
Oh wow! For some crazy reason I want to jump Martha, tie her up and spank her ass until it's red! She is hot for an old lady…
More aging people should follow her regimen instead of getting nasty facelifts; which make you look ridiculous and could possibly kill you.
gym, walkin, exercise???????? isn't that pretty much the same sh!%? …….I mean, you wouldn't even need to walk if you just put your fatass on the treadmill for 30 min. or more. This list is for the severely retarded——–just sayin'
i absolutely adore this woman.
I BELIEVE IN SONICARE TOO MARTHA!!
WOOP WOOOOPPP!!!!!
