When asked about her best beauty habits, Venita didn’t skip a beat. She maintains it is “drinking lots of water,” she told Charleston Magazine. “Trust me; it works!” According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

2. She Does Yoga

Venita is also a yogi. “I take yoga at Still Soul Studio,” she told Charleston Magazine. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

3. She Drinks Juice

As for her diet, juicing is one of her favorite things. “Food-wise, drinking at least two Eternal Juices a day keeps me balanced,” she told the publication. “Just because you don’t have a juicer doesn’t mean you still can’t make fresh juice at home! ​​I made a very simple Watermelon + Lime Juice with a few easy steps,” she added in a social media post, sharing her recipe.

Venita trains at Exemplar Fitness, and goes to HIIT classes at Fit Culture, she told Charleston Magazine. There is lots of research backing up the benefits of HIIT workouts, including body fat reduction, improved cardiovascular function, and mental health. It is also time effective.

5. She Drinks Coffee

Venita is a coffee drinker. “Photo description: Venita sipping coffee from a teal mug, wearing a white short-sleeve tie front top and orange sunglasses,” she captioned a post. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

1. She Drinks Spirits in the AM

Sutton does not restrict herself when it comes to drinking. “I have a drinking regimen that I do," she told Behind the Velvet Rope. "At around 10 [a.m.], I think that's OK for your first cocktail of the day. And then ... I try to ... it's just consistency through the day. Then I'm nicer." She added: "You know what they say: When you monitor what time you're allowed to drink, that means you have a drinking problem. Why can't you have a drink at 10? What makes 5 o'clock so special? Give 10 a.m. the love, too! ... Just have it. Don't deny yourself right now, no." Just remember: "Drinking alcohol in moderation generally is not a cause for concern. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, drinking is considered to be in the moderate or low-risk range for women at no more than three drinks in any one day and no more than seven drinks per week. For men, it is no more than four drinks a day and no more than 14 drinks per week," says the Mayo Clinic.

The device has a rotating head covered with 24 tourmaline stones to help improve skin tone and texture.

4. She Believes True Beauty Comes From Within

She tries not to obsess over aging and instead, inner beauty. “We can get so fixated on that. I mean, we all want to look good and we all want to stay young,” Sutton told Page Six Style. “But really, I think our youthfulness comes from our heart.” She tries to teach her daughter these types of lessons. “I have a daughter and so I want to make sure that she learns from me. The biggest lesson is that looks are secondary. Who you are as a person is first and how you live your life, being a leader and leading by example is what’s most important,” she continued. “Because you can look amazing, but it doesn’t matter if you’re a terrible person.”

5. She Golfs

While Sutton doesn’t discuss her exercise routine, she does like a certain outdoor sport: Golf. “Finally! A day off. Golf lesson Oceanside. Happy #humpday,” she captioned this photo from an oceanfront course.

I was inspired by that and wanted to spend more time with these amazing kids, some of whom were my age at the time.”

3. She Has A Slower Pace

Sims and her husband, Brooks Koepka, moved from Los Angeles to Jupiter, Florida. And Sims is enjoying the change in lifestyle. “I like the slower pace, especially after living in L.A. for almost nine years,” she says to Jupiter Magazine. “It feels like a vacation here.”

Living in Florida means Sims is surrounded by water. And she takes advantage of it. Sims loves to go to the beach or pool and swim. She has posted several photos on Instagram of herself swimming. Sims posted this photo of herself in the pool, captioning it, “Black velvet, if you please.”

5. She Skis

Both Sims and Koepka love to go skiing. Sims posted this set of photos on Instagram of them skiing in Big Sky, Montana. She captioned the post, “I love you snow much.” "The physical aspect is obvious, however many individuals, especially those that have never skied before, may not realize how much brain power goes into the sport. Skiing is a proprioceptive activity. Proprioception is an aspect of fitness that is defined as one’s ability to feel the position of different body parts and the effort that goes into moving them. This is almost defines skiing because skiing involves quite a bit of balance and coordination. There are so many slight movements and positions of your body that you must be conscious of to ski well. The more you ski the more you strengthen your ability to be aware of the movement of your body parts. This is important because proprioception weakens with age so the more you are involved in proprioceptive activities the less it will diminish," says the University of New Hampshire.
