Summary

Rachel Zoe is officially in her Housewives era — and she’s not holding back. The fashion icon, celebrity stylist, and newest cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills gets candid about stepping back into reality television, navigating divorce, dating after marriage, and reclaiming her identity in the most public way possible. Rachel reveals what really happened when Andy Cohen called, why she chose to enter RHOBH unfiltered, and what it feels like to re-enter the spotlight as a newly single woman. She opens up about the emotional aftermath of her divorce, the realities of co-parenting, and the freedom that comes with rediscovering who you are after decades in a long-term relationship. Rachel shares what it is like being “the new girl” in an already fiery cast, how she handles intense personalities and shifting friendships, and what fans won’t see on camera. Rachel also spills her real-life beauty routine, cat-eye secrets, glow rituals, and what it actually takes to look effortlessly flawless at 52 — from skincare must-haves to behind-the-scenes glam reality. Expect Real Housewives of Beverly Hills tea, celebrity divorce honesty, fashion industry insight, behind-the-scenes glam stories, and the raw reality of starting over with humor, honesty, and iconic style. This is Rachel Zoe in her boldest chapter yet — and you’ll want every minute.

You know how some people swear by their 12-step routine? Yeah, I'm more of a five minutes and

let's go kind of person. That's why I love Merit Beauty, simple, clean essentials that actually

0:09.1

make you look polished without the extra fuss. Merit is a minimalist beauty brand that makes

0:13.9

elevated makeup in skincare design to help you look put together in minutes. I've been using their

0:19.1

products for about a year, and I am obsessed. The flush bomb

0:22.8

is probably my favorite. It gives that perfect natural glow like you just came back from a walk

outside. It's buildable, creamy, and never cakey. There's a reason one is sold every 30 seconds.

It's that good. Then there's a minimalist, which I keep in every single one of my bags. It works double duty as a both a foundation and a concealer. So you can do your whole face in about two minutes, a little under the eyes, a quick swipe for any redness on your cheeks, blend it in with your fingers, and you're done. It's what I reach for when I want to look fresh, but not overdone. And on the days I don't feel like wearing makeup at all, Merritt's great skin serum is my absolute go-to. It gives that hydrated, plumpy, dewy look. Like you've had eight hours of sleep and a green juice, even if you haven't. What I love most is that everything from Merritt feels effortless and wearable. Clean formulas, beautiful packaging, and products that make getting ready simple again. Right now, Merritt Beauty is

offering our listeners, their Santer Makeup Bag with your first order at Meritbeautcom. That's M-E-R-I-T-Beautcom to get your

free signature makeup bag with your first order, Meritbeautcom. Here's the thing about being a great gift

giver. When you find something truly perfect for everyone on your list,

you almost don't want to give it away. That's exactly what happened with my first Quinn's order.

1:32.7

Everything is so soft, so beautifully made, I was genuinely tempted to just keep it all for myself.

1:38.4

Quinn's has basically taken over my holiday shopping list this year. They've got those Mongolian

1:42.7

cashmere sweaters that are buttery soft,

and only $50, when they'd normally cost at least $200 or more, the kind you'll wear over and over

again. Then there's the denim that somehow goes with everything, silk tops and skirts for when you

1:56.0

need to look a little more pulled together, cozy beanies and scarves and down jackets that actually

2:00.2

keep you warm without

2:01.3

feeling bulky. But the Italian wool coats? Those are my absolute top pick. They look totally

2:06.7

designer, chic, structured, and luxurious, but the price won't make you panic. And that's the magic

of quids. They work directly with trusted factories that meet high standards for craftsmanship
