Lisa Barlow turns 50 — but she knows age is just a number!
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star told PEOPLE at last month’s Bravo Fan Fest that while she was initially hesitant to reveal her age, she now embraces the Dec. 14 birthday milestone.
“Funny story, I was at a reunion and I wore a purple dress [from] season two and I sat down on the couch first, and Andy Cohen said, ‘You look great. How old are you?’” she recalled. “And I thought she was going to say, ‘Oh my God, you look amazing for your age.’ So I said, I told him the number and I was these years, and then it went public so I was shocked and sad.”
However, the reality star joked that if she had a big birthday, she would “have a big party and go on a trip to Turks and Caicos”.
After declaring that she loves “being a Sagittarius,” Barlow explained that the most important thing for her is how she feels.

“I think it’s like a different generation,” she explained. “I think you can shave 10 to 15 years off your birthday and feel that way. I think it’s all about how you feel and everything else.”
She teased: “We feel like we’re 40 and we’re not talking about how old we are.”
Co-founder Vida Tequile admitted that even though she is “really turning 50 this year… I don’t feel like I look or feel that way at all. It’s so weird and my best friend is 55 and she’s turning 56. And I’m like, you look like you’re 30.”
She added that she and her friend are still “fun and cool.”
The mother of two praised the looks of the Bravo stars and revealed that she avoided a popular cosmetic procedure. “Look at everything on Bravo,” she said. “They’re all beautiful, beautiful women and I’m proud of the fact that I don’t have fillers or botox on my face.”

Barlow previously dismissed rumors of cosmetic work during a fan Q&A on Instagram in October 2021. “Have you had anything done to your face? You’re gorgeous,” one fan asked, according to Bravo.com, and the reality star replied, “No!”
She went on to open up about her love of glamor in an interview with New York Post in October.
“Yes, I do glamor every day,” she revealed at the time. “I have two girls who are dependent on me and work only with me. I have my favorite hairdressers who only do my hair for special occasions.”
She added: “I think I’m really good at doing my own hair, so I only do my hair on special occasions – which is like every day we shoot.”
