Teresa Giudice needs an arsenal of accessories to tame her mane. “I have a lot of hair,” says the Real Housewives of New Jersey star, 44, who carries “hair ties, scrunchies and a big fat clip” in her black Furla handbag. The mom of Gia, Gabriella, Milania and Audriana (with husband Joe), shares her other essentials with Us Weekly.
Higher Power
“On my key chain, I have a red Italian hand with the pinkie and the index finger up [a mano cornuto]. It wards off the evil eye. I don’t have a house key — I always go through the garage.”
Shady Lady
“I love, love, love my Tom Ford sunglasses. I have them in black, gold and silver, depending on the outfit I’m wearing.”
Going Nuts
“I throw a bottle of water in my bag. I’m very healthy right now, so I have carrots, raw almonds and a Kind bar.”
Kiss and Makeup
“You know how people have their thing? My thing is lip gloss, lip liner and lipstick. Whenever I go to the cosmetics counter I buy MAC, NARS, NYX, Stila and Sisley Paris. I love all shades of nudes.”
Neat Freak
“I have to make sure I clean my girls’ hands. I have hand sanitizer and wipeys with me because I get grossed out!”
