Look Good, Feel Good

Ramona shares why she's not going under the knife any time soon!

April 28, 2009

I want to apologize for not blogging last week. We taped the reunion show last Tuesday and it took me several days to recover. I felt as though I was beaten up (verbally that is) and I am scared to see the footage. So fans, GET READY!

My daughter is my pride and joy and has turned out to be a remarkable young lady. I have always treated her with respect. I've spoken with her about my trials and tribulations in business so that she can learn from my experiences. That is why when I was doing the tape for HSN she was making me nervous. I knew I would be taking long pauses, but would eventually pick up my momentum again, and of course being my daughter, she noticed it immediately. I would expect nothing less from her, as she has learned well. There is a lot of truth in the saying: "The apple does not fall from the tree." The tape came out great and I am looking forward to my upcoming show on HSN in the beginning of June.

I think many people are too quick to go under the knife. There are so many alternatives to plastic surgery. I always pursue subjects that interest me, and I have researched anti-aging skincare and methods to maintaining a youthful face and body. Working out regularly is important, but a little help from the vela smooth machine is a great way to tone and eliminate cellulite. The vela smooth method works with a laser and has replaced the Endomology machine. In this episode I visit Dr. Sharon Giese, who recently made the top cosmetic surgeon list in the New York Times. She is a plastic surgeon who also offers many procedures that do not involve cutting. I think that plastic surgery should be held off as long as possible. I have already reached fifty years old, and I am proud to say that I have yet to go under the knife, and maybe never will. Maintaining the overall quality of your skin is so important - that's why I developed Tru Renewal anti-aging skin care. I worked and consulted with Dr. Sharon Giese on my skin care line.https://www.ramonasinger.com/tru-renewal-landing.aspx

Everyone gets brown spots on their face, no matter how much sunblock they use. That is why the IPL machine or the newer Matrix machine is so great. I could go on and on about the alternatives to plastic surgery and the importance of keeping your body and skin healthy. Some people like buying expensive gowns or purses, but I enjoy spending my money on ways to stop the aging clock as long as possible, or rather be in the best physical shape that I can for my age.

I think you are a very real person and I love your personality. I don't think people have to wonder where they stand with you and you take care of what is most important in life and that's your family first.

Ramona--
How do you feel about hyulronic acid for skin care. I know I misspelled that word, but I have been using skin care products for years and I know that I am not nearly as wrinkled as I would have been without it. I started using eye care products in my thirties and I have no crows feet as a result. I know a big part of how you age is also hereditary but I am a firm believer in doing what it takes to slow the clock. Your face is very impressive. How long have you used skin care products?
Sally

Ramona

I had no idea your chronological age
but I never thought you were 50.
You are Gorgeous Girl !

Suzanne

There is a part of me that does not understand why you must pick people apart. Underdog, married to a much older man, Jill likes underdogs. Don't you think Jill liked Bethenny for being herself? You have no filter. Even your friends at the party you had was trying to smooth things with the comment of Bethenny being an underdog. Did you not see the look on Bethenny face showing how hurt she felt with the comment? I don't understand why people just want to hurt others. Since you seem to do it all the time my question is what do you get from saying the hurtful things that you do and why do you do it? Wouldn't it be better to keep some thoughts to yourself? With friends like you who needs an enemy.

I think that you are the rudest person I have ever seen. You think that putting people down makes you look good and you don't you look like a jerk. Also you have said a number of times that you don't like alex and simon. so you are not friends so why would they tell you that alex might have a nude picture coming out in a paper. You have been nothing but rude and bitchy so why would they say anything to you. You are one of the only housewives that i think really needs to grow up and maybe learn some manners so have a talk with luann

Hi, Ramona.

I think you look great, but I wish you would consider a hair makeover. I think you should go a little shorter and change the color. On tv, the hair color is not complimenting your skin tone. I think you should give it a go for next season.

In fact, only LuAnn has a hairstyle that is complimentary of her face. Betheny, Kelly and Jill and you wear hair that is too long and stragley. I thought New York women were more stylish.
Don't get me wrong, you are all beautiful women. I just think that a hair makeover day would be a good move.

Hi Ramona,

All the housewives have beautiful skin. Do they use your product line? Would love a free sample? I love beautiful skin, but am never sure what to buy. Are you hiring any help. Love the show You are a hoot!!!!

Dear, Dear Ramona:

I have known women like you in my life, fortunately that was twenty years ago in high school. Does is really make you feel better about yourself to be so rude and bash everyone else. I just don't get it. I have a feeling you are an extremely insecure person striving to come off as confident at everyone else's expense. So sad. I hope one day you figure out what true kindness and confidence is. Good luck!

Ramona, I admire that you take care of yourself so well. But, I must warn you about Duzoxin. It contains very harmful and dangerous stimulants. I urge you to stop taking it (if you are currently) and implore you to stop selling this dangerous supplement to others whom may look to you for advice on looking so good at your age. It is one thing to sell face cream, another to peddle dangerous and harmful stimulants.

Ramona, you are a very verbal person, I like you, but sometimes you should think before you say somethings, however I loved it when you made the comment to Luann about her and husbands age difference. She should have never opened her mouth, you were talking to Bethenny anyway.

i liked you a lot better before you decided you were an expert at everything. you sound like a walking commercial.

ramona, i think you look wonderfull for 50 wow..also i like your personality you say it like it is and you dont need to talk behind others back..at least i havent saw that, you seem to be monitoring more of what you say witch is a good think, also you have a great family you and mario seem to be truly in love and dont have the need to be together 24/7 like others we know and avrey is so beautiful and smart, she also seems down to earth and generaly a kind heart...seems like you have it all and you did it yourself!!!! awsome...keep it up anna

Ramona,

I hope we see more of you and your family next season! You are my favorite of all the housewives, you're the most genuine and don't pretend for the cameras.

It's too bad how you are held to a different standard than the other women. It seems like you are bashed for anything you say and they are praised while they trash everyone.

You look great and it's nice that you share with the viewers how you stay so young looking. It seems some folks don't understand that a quality face cream is necessary, having a treatment with your dermatologist doesn't mean you no longer need to use face cream! Duh...

There will always be people that love to judge and point fingers, just remember that living well is the best revenge. It's clear you have a wonderful marriage and family life, it's nice to see on this type of show.

Ramona,

On Saturdays, episodes of NY Housewives are usually on back to back for hours. I have seen every episode but have the show on while I'm doing my work around the house. As I watch these episodes I am amazed at how you find it necessary to criticize all the other housewives, especially Jill. You berate and belittle them all and then tell anyone who will listen how wonderful and smart you are. You are a friend to no one. I watched a clip of you and Mario at an outdoor restaurant and you were just ripping on everyone. A minute later the waitress spilled a drink on you. All I could think was KARMA. Maybe if you weren't so self absorbed you could see the good in people. I'm sure if you had to say just nice things about people you would never speak - I would like that.

Ramona,

I love you and your sense of fashion, but can you maybe lighten up? That goes for you and your husband.

Hi Ramona,

I think you look great for 50! I was surprised to hear that you were 50 also. Good luck with your skin care line. I just turned 49 and people think I am 42. I had to actually show one co-worker my license! I have very few wrinkles, and use nothing. When I wear makeup it is very light, and I try to minimize my face to sun exposure. Maybe we are just blessed with good genes!

Ramona,

First let me say you are a beautiful and ambitious woman who has a lovely daughter. It is quite obvious she is the smile in your heart.

Having said that, you need to stop taking yourself so seriously and think before you speak. Some of your comments are so insulting I have a hard time believing you didn't know what you were saying was offensive. I give you credit for being more intelligent than that so I don't buy the widen eyes as a sign of true confusion on your part. You are definitely an instigator in life which must be very tiring for those around you.

And, is Mario such a fashion expert and ignorant that he feels compelled to criticized (attempting to humiliate Simon on air) someone's attire? Mario is a nice looking guy, but his obnoxious personality cancels out the looks. He makes Bobby positively handsome in comparison. You don't see these outburts coming from Bobby and I would expect better from Mario who appears to be a successful business man. You need to tone him down BIG TIME!!!

To end on an up note, if you are using your skin products, you are an excellent advertisement for your products. Good luck with your new skin care products. I agree with Bethany, however, in keeping the same logo for all your products so they are associated with you. Tru? True? Pick one and stick with it across the board.

All I can say is stop bashing everyone. It is enough already. Mario acts like he is twelve and your bulging eyes with every comment are so odd.

Ramona:

Are you familiar with Linda Rodin's Olio Lusso?

What do you think of it?

I'm a buyer for a major retailer and I gotta tell you that you don't have a clue! I'm guessing HSN or QVC is where you're going first, right? So many have tried and so many have failed. Luck to you.

Ramona,

Tell them to give you more air time! We love you and would like to see more of you.

Ramona, you look hot .... I wish I could look like you!

Anyways, make them give you more air time.

Love,
Karin

It's weird, I like you but I don't. Sometimes I think you are a bit of a witch and other times I think you are funny cause I like your truthfulness. I don't however agree with the things you said to Bethenny at all. I mean seriously, who the heck do you think you are?? Bethenny is way better than all of you women and she doesn't need to marry a man for his money so that she can start her own businesses like the rest of you. She is doing very well for herself all on her own. You other ladies could learn from her.

Ramona,
Why are you renting out your house in the Hamptons for the summer. I think I read you are renting it for $295,000.00 for 3 months. Where are going to be all summer?

Hi Ramona,

I've been reading the posts after this episode and am enjoying all the comments immensely. I too have had a problem with excessive perspiration as does my teenage daughter. Her pediatrician wrote her a prescription for a drug called Hypercare. It works amazingly well and there is a significant decrease in under one week. Anyway thought I'd throw in my 2cents. My regards to all!

Way to go Ramona!!! Do you have skincare for men too?

Today the FDA recalled Hydroxycut.

Aren't the ingrediants similar to the Duzoxin being pushed by you Housewives?

Why oh why must you be so jealous of Jill? You have a nice enough life. You and your husband Mario are showing your daughter a bad example by always looking for someone to bash! Are you that miserable that you have to harrass Jill or Alex or Luann any chance you get? I wonder how many more people the two of you harrass that the cameras don't see!

Ramona,

I have to say at first you were a bit much to take in but you have grown on me and I think that you are a pretty cool lady, maybe a little crazy, but who isn’t these days. I also have the same problem with perspiring like you and like you said it is very embarrassing and I ruin almost all of my shirts. I have never come out to talk about it with a doctor or even my family even though they do notice, I just say I have menopausal hot flashes at 25 years old. It has made a huge impact on my life and not in a good way. I am very insecure about it and I feel like I have no control over it. HELP!! What was the secret???

If your skin care line is so great - why do you need to visit the plastic surgeon for laser and botox treatments? You're just another hypocrite out to take advanantage of people. I'm sure this won't be used.

Ramona,
I am so astonished to see the fantastic results I have achieved on my thighs (especially the back of my thighs)!!
The back of my thighs have always been so embarrassing (they look like Turkey necks). No matter how much I weigh (101 lbs for 5'4")or how much I exercised (I have used Pilates for over 30 years)(I am 57)nothing helped !! Your insistance on trying the sliding up and down the wall with a ball has achieved miracles !!!! Thank you so very much!!! I am so excited to be able to wear shorts again and shorter skirts and skorts. You are an angel to share your secret!!! Forever in your debt !!! Enthusiasticaly yours,
Janie

Ramona,
You truly seem to have a genuine heart. You sometimes may not say things in the best way, but you seem to mean well. You hit the nail on the head with Kelly, she is so confusing to me. She absolutely does not know how to express herself and comes off not only misunderstood but as a narcissistic immature airhead, which may or may not be true. I am continuously baffled by her. But you Ramona, you go girl!

Ramona, I really enjoyed you in this post. You came across intelligent and gracious. All of that cattiness and snide remarks that I see on the show demeans you and steals your credibility and likability.

I am shocked that you are in your fifties. You look absolutely fabulous.

Romona, where did you get the dress you wore to the plastic surgeon in last weeks episode?? I love it!

Ramona,
You're 50? You do look VERY good!

I'm going to be looking for your product! I was shocked that you were 50! Hope the show gives us more of your visits to the plastic surgeon doctor. Learned a lot during that session!

~Lady Singer,

I just wanted to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for being so bold as to share with the world about your “sweat issue”, if you will. I too, have the same problem and until I saw the last episode I thought I was the only one who had this problem. I’ve had it my entire life and it is SO bad that I am forced to ware tank tops 24/7. This last winter was hard, I was ill ten times, no joke, because I can’t ware warmer tops. It felt like I was pretty much ill all winter. I’m 24 and veryveryvery feminine and this curse of ours really just holds me back from daily life and makes me feel so self cautious to the point that I hardly ever go out. It’s so beyond embarrassing, especially for a girl, to have fountains of ickyness pouring down your arms and what makes it worse is there is nothing I can do about it.
Anyways, I just wanted to let you know that I am very grateful that you had the balls to share your curse and for making me feel not so alone. Thank you Lady Singer, you rock!

Peace and Love,

Abigail.

Hi Ramona,
I also suffered from the same underarm problem you're having for years until I found Certain Dry. I ruined enough dresses and sweaters to fill any closet. It is easy to find and even easier to use. I now use it a couple of times a month and never need a deodorant or any other underarm product. It's miraculous. Give it a try.

Ramona,
I enjoy watching you on the show. I like to hear what your opinions are on beauty procedures, etc.
Each person will have their own opinion about Kelly... I tend to think that she's a Space Cadet, and she wanted to make Bethenny look bad on TV. She made herself look bad instead.
Speaking of looking bad... I liked your husband until he just posted his nasty little blog. Not very nice. You should ban him from blogging.
Lots of luck to you with your skin care line. 'Hope to see you ladies back next season!

you are not my favorite but... goodness... you are 50? you look so much younger! kudos!

you are starting to grow on me. Now tell you hubby to shut up.

Ramona, I just wanted to say you do have beautiful skin! Your product seems to really work.

I love watching you with Mario and your daughter - I wondered how you can get along with your family members looking at your confrontations with Jill (which honestly you don't come across well)but you are so lovely and caring when it comes to your family. that's the most basic but important thing and it's good to see a family like yours. You have a great life :) enjoy it and be generous (not only in money but in words too) in your dealing with others!

Hi Ramona,

I recently watched episode 11 where you visited the plastic surgeon and complained about profuse sweating. I am a medical student and I wanted to know if you have had your thyroid hormones checked? Symptoms of hyperthyroidism include sweating, eye protrusion (exopthalmos), neurotic anxiety, fine tremos, brisk reflexes, weight loss and/or increased appetitie. If you think you have some of these symptoms I would suggest haveing your throid hormones checked either by your regular doctor or an endocrinologist. Hope this helps.

Natalie Wessel

I love you and Mario. You guys are not the best at expressing your thoughts to say the least but I love how you stick by and care for each other. I love how Mario came to your rescue (whether that was intended or not) to combat Jill hhhh. though honestly you guys are no match for Jill - did you see how well she took on the offending questions thrown by BBC interviewers? she knows how to make herself likable by putting in those mature grownup comments. Whereas you guys in comparison are immature at expressing your thoughts - filter them for the show! though it won't be as fun to watch if you do that hh.

Anyhow, I think you are the luckiest woman on this show. You are a successful woman with your own business (not like Jill who works for her husband and just spends his money). You are gorgeous. Have a hot husband. Lovely daughter and a luxurious life ...despite having imperfect personality. Now, that's a life to be envied. :) cheers,

Wow,I can't believe you are fifty!!! I would have never guessed!Deffinatly thought you were early forties. I am hitting forty in September and am looking a little haggard. I am not wealthy by any means but last week spent a fortune for me on a skin care line at kohler spa here in wi. So not happy with it. I think it's making me break out. The second ingrediant in the cleanser is sodium lural sulfate isn't that really bad for you? Any advice and where can I get your skin care line?

Ramona,
I have to tell you that I was honestly surprised to hear that you were fifty years old. I am impressed! You go girl!

Your skin care line must be amazing! If I could look as good as you do at your age--- I will be buying all of your skin care line. It is astonishing that you have not had cosmetic work, you give us women hope that there is life after a certain age. My aunt is your age and she looks every bit of her sixty one years- and you look at least ten years younger. I guess you have to when you are married to a much younger tennis player!!- You go girl!! can't wait to buy your skin cream!

Ur amainzg and the only real one on this show besides B-you look stunning and have a fabulous husband and child! God i love you and Tamara! The only real ladies out there...

Ramona,

You have a lovely family. Avery is a great testament to your parenting skills. You are also an inspiration to women from all walks of life, by proving that hard work and dedication do pay off. Jill should really take a few pages from your book. Perhaps you should write an inspiration/motivation book.

By the way, love your jewelry.

You are so great on the show, Ramona! You have a great personality and an amazing business sense. I cannot believe how young you look for your age, too. What an inspiration you are! Looking forward to the finale and seeing you again on season 3!
