Exciting things are happening in the career department for The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Margaret Josephs. The Caviar Dreams, Tuna Fish Budget author delved into what she and creative director Lexi Barbuto have next for their non-alcoholic beverage company, Soirée.
“Soirée is what we’re hustling for,” Margaret exclusively told The Daily Dish at BravoCon 2025 in Las Vegas. “Lexi and I, we took a tiny little break because there was tariffs and we had issues with the cans. We’re coming out with a coffee flavor… We’re just really hustling for that, so that’s really what’s been going on.”
Margaret hosted a party to commemorate BravoCon’s opening night at the Vista Cocktail Lounge at Caesars Palace, as seen on Instagram, with Jeff Lewis, Kate Chastain, and Melissa Gorga as just a few on the guest list to turn up and sip.
But that wasn’t all Margaret had to share about her career, because things are also moving with her Candie Couture by Margaret Jospehs collection, known for its makeup brushes, now available in Walmart stores.
As she continued in her interview, “I have my Candie Couture line; we’re still in licensing, so we have a lot of things happening.”
