I love the way yoga makes me feel and sharing that with other people so they can feel the way I do.

For anyone who wants to do yoga at any studio anywhere, check out TheYogaPass.com... it's fantastic!

I want to spend time with family and friends who make me happy and don't try to hurt me or my family.

I don't think there's any better present than something passed down from your mama, no matter what it is.

I have the most amazing fans in the world and just want to tell you that I love, love, love, love you all!

I have always said that 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' has the most amazing and loyal fans on the planet.

I keep an open mind and try and make my opinions after I meet someone based on their actions toward me personally.

When there is an issue, I approach it and hit it head on. I speak the truth. If I do something wrong, then I own it.

I'm really, truly, deep down happy for my friends when they do well. I want them to all succeed and be billionaires.

I've always been very open about how my mother taught me to cook and how I'm delighted to share my family's recipes.

When you're famous and you're young then you go partying, and you go to all the parties and stuff, I wasn't into that.

I've had - after my mom passed away - like a lot of resentment, a lot of things that just happened after I lost my mom.

It's one of the best parts of being on the 'Real Housewives' and why I love it: getting to talk to so many great people.

There's no reason for me to lie. If I did something, I'll admit to it. I don't want to be accused of something I didn't do.

Since my family is in the public eye, we've got to be strong, we've got to support each other, and we've got to stand united.

I try to look at things in a positive way. If someone says something negative to me, I'll just turn it around into a positive.

Those who know me well know that I don't wear my emotions on my sleeve like other people do. That's just the way I was raised.

I get it that lots of people want to get on TV. If you can get cast, God bless you. Just please don't do it by bashing my family.

Like some people they're into nannies and the whole social life and they don't spend time with their kids. I'm always with my kids.

When it's hot, there's no hiding. You have to face yourself and your neighbors and your body... and that's an amazing, happy thing!

I'm always switching up my foundation. I like good coverage. I figure if you're going to wear foundation, it might as well have coverage.

I am an entrepreneur and I wanted everyone to see the business side of me, and everyone will get to see that on 'The Celebrity Apprentice.'

Someone once described being a Housewife to me as being one big chess game, and in many ways, I guess it is for some people, but not for me.

Families have ups and downs, we all fight about stupid things, but at the end of the day, we're blood, and we love each other and we always will.

It's hard to keep moving forward, keep working, and keep your head up, but that's what strong women do. Especially being a mom, I can't fall apart.

Normally when you meet a person you don't like, you might have words with them, but then you walk away. When you're filming a show, you can't walk away.

I have a fashion degree and worked as a buyer for Calvin Klein and Macy's before I had kids. I've always worked. I love to work. But my family comes first.

Everything about Italy is hot: the climate, the people, the fashion, even the shape of the country - how much hotter can you get than a tall boot with a high heel?

If you've seen me on 'The Celebrity Apprentice' or 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey,' you know that I find myself in hot situations far more often than I'd like.

Please hug your parents while you have them, tell your children how much you love them every second of the day, and don't let the petty things in life separate you.

I know everyone is busy in life and for them to take out the time to still think about me and send me a card or a letter, that really meant the world to me. I'm grateful for that.

You see, one of the things about being a Housewife, and a New Jersey Housewife in particular, is that most of the drama seems to happen behind the scenes when the cameras aren't around.

My best friends - the people I trust the most - are Catholic, Jewish, African-American, gay, tall, short, blonde... you name it. I love people for their hearts, not their appearance or lifestyle.

Everyone loves my sayings like, 'happy wife, happy life,' 'delicious and juicy,' 'love love love,' 'fabulous.' So I've made T shirts with that and hats and I've started a custom-made jewelry line.

Housewives' is real, yes. We say what we're thinking at the time. But filming our real lives is a huge production that takes a long time. Sometimes you have to sit there for hours and hours while the show is being produced.

Reality TV is hard. You put yourself out there and you have no control over which parts they show (and don't show). And you are shooting sometimes 15 hour-days for months and months. It's exhausting - physically and mentally.

I don't live with my head in the sand - I see people's flaws. I don't like everything my friends do or say. But one, I don't judge or reprimand them to their face because it's not my job to tell them they're screwing up; it's just my job to love them.

I will describe the choices I made, continue to take responsibility for my decisions, and express my remorse to Judge Salas and the public. I am heartbroken that this is affecting my family - especially my four young daughters, who mean more to me than anything in the world.

I have to say 'Celebrity Apprentice' is an eye-opener - what people call each other, what people say about each other. This is different - because this is a business atmosphere, you would never expect it. There was a lot of cattiness going on. It was something that I wasn't used to.

Demons frighten us because we set ourselves up to be frightened. We are overly attached to our reputations and possessions. When we love and desire what we should be rejecting, we are in conflict with our true selves. That's when the negative energies catch us and use our weapons against us. Instead of taking up what we have to defend ourselves, we put our swords in the hands of our enemies and make them attack us.
