Wellness and aging
Graham said self-care is now a top priority. Her routine includes yoga, meditation and healthier eating, with occasional treats from Beverly Hills Cookies.
She has tried microneedling and Botox, and she favors laser treatments. She has used filler before but does not have it now. Her goal is to look natural rather than overdone.
Graham practices affirmations and cited You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay. She said meditation helped shift her eating habits away from sugar binges.
