“It’s important to have [a space] thats just mine.”
Bailey is sitting on the first of three stories in her Sandy Springs, Georgia, home.
Behind her, a wall of glass is painted with the surrounding forest and lake.
Lake Bailey, she calls it, but that is an unofficial title.
“I’m a Pisces.
Water makes me happy,” she says.
Lake Bailey sits just beyond the trees.
“And lots of light.
This is basically a glass house.”
“just do not throw stones.”
Housewivesfans will see it immediately: A bottle of La Dame by Karen Huger, aReal Housewife of Potomac.
My glam usually goes down, honestly, at my kitchen counter."
“It’s where I take a bath, where I meditate.
I start my day in my bathroom, right after I get out of bed.
Bailey’s second-floor glam room is stocked with wigs and gowns and outfitted with its own modular vanity.
I need it to be a peaceful place.
How you start is how you finish.”
Again, I just need some sense of, this is just for me.
The last place I am at night is my bedroom, so that area’s very sacred.
I have a room upstairs where I can get glam done as well, my wardrobe room.
But pretty much my bedroom and the bathroom is off-limits."
On the house:“I’m in Atlanta Georgia, an area called Sandy Springs.
Right next to Buckhead, most people know that.
This house is basically a glass house.
just do not throw stones.
And I do not throw stones at other people, because I do live in a glass house.
It’s on a lake Lake Bailey, if you know.
The lake was what attracted me to the house.
Water feeds me spiritually.
I can’t live in a dark house.
Windows, light, and water.”
I had to incorporate the shelves and organize it.
So there’s a dental box, for example, and anything that has to do withteethgoes in it.
In first aid, I have neti pots and bladder-infection pills."
On beauty, generally:“My approach is pretty simple.
I’m 53 years old.
I embrace my age, I talk about it all of the time.
I just want to look…
I don’t want to look 23, but I don’t want to look 53.
I want to look as good as I can look at my age.
My approach is taking care of my skin.
I doBotox and fillersprobably three times a year, but still very conservatively.
I don’t want to overdo it.
That’s gonna be worse than if you didnt do anything at all.
But I’m transparent about it.
I love the education behind it.
I feel like women want to get things done but don’t know how much to get.
Whos going to do that for you?
I get sent a lot of free products and I love playing around and trying new things.
Im not loyal to any products.”
