The Vanderpump Rules for Life

When Lisa Vanderpump descended on American television screens in 2010 with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the Brit quickly became a fan favorite. Using her posh accent to both charm and take costars to task, the restaurateur provided a window into what it takes to run successful businesses in an unforgiving L.A. - all while being a wife and mother. "There weren't really any rules," Vanderpump, 63, recalls. "It was just 'Be yourself."

Since leaving the reality series in 2019, her mostly titular empire has blown up: The Vanderpump Rules executive producer opened TomTom in West Hollywood, Wolf in Lake Tahoe, Vanderpump Cocktail Garden in Las Vegas and Château Rosabelle in the south of France - the setting of her latest Bravo reality series, Vanderpump Villa. And then there's her L.A. pet adoption service, Vanderpump Dogs. Her latest passion project: curating bouquets for the new Vanderpump Blooms x Bloom Haus collection, available at Kroger stores. "Flowers bring such a beautiful energy to life," she says. "Even if it's one rose in a bud vase, it somehow changes everything." Here, Vanderpump gives Us the breakdown on how to have it all.
