Christie Brinkley started the year off celebrating 70 and even now, she’s as timeless as ever and not afraid to prove it to the world. Five decades after kicking off her modeling career, Brinkley still knows how to strike a pose and this time, her outfit of choice was a fun and flirty dress that showed off her sculpted legs. Brinkley has always maintained a policy of unwavering gratitude for the triumphant path she’s walked. In fact, she makes it part of her daily routine. But these days, Brinkley is especially thankful, especially after a recent cancer scare had her reflecting on just how she got to where she is now—and what exactly “now” looks like for her, compared to how it could have looked.

She tied the whole look together with blue shoes that echoed the dress’s color scheme. “You made it thru the earthquake today now let Bellissima zero sugar organic vegan non gmo wines rock your world!” she captioned the post, in reference to the tremors that rattled much of the east coast; in fact, it was one of the region’s strongest in over a century. Brinkley continued her post by merrily assuring, “It totally eclipses other wines in the fastest growing category #betterforyou #betterfortheplanet ! Here’s to Friday! Cheers!” In the comments, fans gushed over Brinkley’s look and her positive attitude that went right along with it. “I love you and your amazing energy,” one user commented, while another praised, “Look at those legs.” They also expressed their gratitude for Brinkley’s health after her world was rocked by something far more personal. What does Christie Brinkley eat? The CoverGirl icon is still unafraid of showing off her figure / ImageCollect With 25 years as the face of CoverGirl under her belt, as well as her renowned work as a model for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues, Brinkley maintains a lifestyle that emphasizes personal wellness. But it’s not about maintaining a certain weight; it’s about what makes her feel healthy and energized, and that is affected by several decisions made throughout the day. Probably the most straightforward choice comes with each meal she has. “I have a real awareness of how food is fuel,” Brimley mused, after sharing that “I think being vegetarian, for one thing, has given me a lot of energy.” Brinkley maintains a very particular, diverse diet / Curtis Means/ACE Pictures www.acepixs.com In fact, Brinkley has literally done her research. “I started reading books right away because I knew that I had to replace the protein and figure out what to do,” she shared with The Cut back in 2018. “Over the years I’ve been a vegan, I’ve been a macrobiotic, I’ve been a lacto-ovo. The one constant since the day I stopped eating meat was that I haven’t eaten any red meat or fowl.” Even now, Christie Brinkley is a huge proponent of the “rainbow diet,” as it’s called, which essentially involves having as many colors as possible on the plate. It’s a practice she’s teaching her kids too. As for workout regimen, Brinkley is actually of the belief that “The best exercise routine is not to have a routine, to mix it up,” as she told NewBeauty. She usually gets warmed up with her TotalGym, but after that, her day could involve anything from biking to kayaking. The common denominator is always Brinkley’s zeal to appreciate life, which is the basis for a life philosophy she incorporates into her day as surely as drinking water and sleeping. What happened to Christie Brinkley? Now, as much as ever, Christie Brinkley is exercising a philosophy of gratitude / ImageCollect Back in the summer of 2021, Brinkley spoke with MSNBC Make It about a part of her daily routine she never misses. “Every day, I count my blessings,” she explained. “Because some days can be better days than others but by the time I finish counting my blessings, I feel like it’s a pretty good day.” It is a meditative part of her goal of feeling good and healthy inside and out. Brinkley went on, “I always tell my kids to do because it really does move away the clutter and give you focus.” The Christie Brinkley of now does that just as much, even when very somber circumstances might have given her reason to drop the habit. Back in March, Brinkley took to Instagram to reveal that she had been diagnosed with cancer. Her specific diagnosis was basal cell carcinoma, which is most common in areas frequently exposed to sunlight. She shared images of herself throughout the treatment process, at various stages of healing. Once again looking at the positives, Brinkley also used her platform to tell her 900k Instagram followers, “The good news for you is that all of this can be avoided by being diligent with your sun protection!” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Christie Brinkley (@christiebrinkley) “I got serious a bit late,” she admitted, before assuring, “so now for this ole mermaid/gardener, I’ll be slathering on my SPF 30, reapplying as needed, wearing long sleeves and a wide brim hat.” She also emphasized the importance of getting frequent checkups, adding that it was actually during one of her daughter’s appointments that she happened to ask the doctor for some thoughts on a dot she could feel every time she applied foundation. If left untreated, basal cell carcinoma can continue to grow and damage surrounding tissue, to the point of potentially becoming fatal. Brinkley’s healthcare professionals caught hers early, and to make sure any of her followers that might benefit had sage advice to think on, she rounded her intimate post off with a resounding, “So make your own good luck by making that check up appointment today.” Brinkley is using her platform to make sure her followers remember their sunscreen / ImageCollect RELATED: Christie Brinkley Is Unbothered By Her Wrinkles Ahead Of 70th Birthday
