| Guest Co-Host on Access Hollywood Live |
Kristin has been making the news recently for her post baby body. She shared with Access Hollywood, Billy Bush one major factor ... good genes. But she hasn't relied on just her good genes. She has a non-diet approach, "I think eating healthy is 80% of it. I’m constantly reading labels, and won't put toxic chemicals in my body." She went on to say that, "I never count calories… it’s just all about eating real food. I worked out until the last month of my pregnancy, and I did a lot of leg and butt workouts." It's refreshing to hear that it's not a 'I can eat everything and not gain a pound.' When Kristin eats out she doesn't over analyze her food. She makes sure to have a balance. For some, that may not be enough. We need a real kick in the butt to get us going. Kristin, admits to one of her secret weapons ... Brazilian Butt Lift DVD. "Funny name, but it really works," she says.

You've
seen many pictures of Kristin in magazines wearing great fashion styles. As host of E!'s The
Fabulist she
loves to talk fashion,
has her Chinese laundry collection, has a jewelry line, Emerald Duv, that
captures a beach feel to it and has guest host on Access Hollywood Live. If you can catch your breath long enough from
this long list of things she is somehow balancing, you will see she is just
added a new level of coolness. You can now say that Kristin is a true modern day
'Fashionista.' Kristin recently teamed up with DWNLD—a mobile platform that allows
anyone with a smartphone to create an app—to launch an eponymous app that focuses on health,
fashion, and more. She is low taking fashion to just about every level there
is.  |

I asked Kristin a couple of questions of how she balances it all and some question you mother e-mailed me. Here I what she told MothersoftheValley:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mothersofthevalley: Most of the time us moms are so
busy getting the kids ready we rarely have time left for us to get dolled up as we leave
the house. What are 3 must have things for a mom to wear/do when she only has 5 minutes to
get ready.

KC: Klorane Dry Shampoo is amazing for in
between washes, and it gives hair volume. I love Armani mascara, because
it makes the eyes pop, and Revision tinted moisturizer.Mothersofthevalley: You really look great post (2) baby deliveries! What are some of your fitness secrets you would like to share. Are you into juicing? Yoga? What workout exercises/routines do you like to do? Workout Videos you can recommend?
KC: I think eating healthy is 80% of it. I’m
constantly reading labels, and won't put toxic chemicals in my body. I never
count calories… it’s just all about eating real food. I worked out until
the last month of my pregnancy, and I did a lot of leg and butt workouts. A
great DVD that I like is the Brazilian Butt Lift. Funny name, but
it really works.
Cynthia: Spending alone couples time is important in growing a relationship. What are some of you and Jay’s favorite date nights?

KC: We just like going to dinner and having a glass
of wine. It doesn’t happen very often, so we really enjoy it when it
does.
MothersoftheValley: How long have you been organic? Are your strictly organic or do you try to eat as organic as possible? Is the whole family organic?
MothersoftheValley: How long have you been organic? Are your strictly organic or do you try to eat as organic as possible? Is the whole family organic?
KC: As a family we try to eat organic as often as
possible. If I’m cooking at home it's organic, but we don't stress about it
when we eat out. I’ve been like that for over 10 years, but it wasn't until I
got pregnant with my first one that I took it up a notch.
Lindsay: For those moms trying to move towards a more organic way of living what are the ingredients in food products that you made a point to eliminate?
Lindsay: For those moms trying to move towards a more organic way of living what are the ingredients in food products that you made a point to eliminate?
KC: The most important ones are high fructose corn
syrup, any food colors and genetically modified ingredients. I actually have an
entire list of what to stay away from on my app (Kristin Cavallari in the App
Store). It’s all about having a healthy lifestyle with some
fashion and beauty mixed in.
MothersoftheValley: We know kids can be picky about their meals. What are some of your go-to meals for the boys?
KC: We got lucky with Camden
MothersoftheValley: What surprised you most about yourself once you had kids?
KC: How happy I am. I knew that I would love it, but
I finally feel like I’m doing exactly what I'm suppose to be doing.
Lucy: We
moms love your Chinese Laundry shoe line, but during the pregnancy we can be
limited. What are your picks for the different stages in a pregnancy?

KC: Thanks! The Cadence flat is good throughout the
entire pregnancy because it's comfortable and incredibly stylish as well. My Copertina heel is also really comfortable, and it comes in a million colors.
It's a great staple shoe, not just during pregnancy.
Natalie: It's important to take care of our skin. What is your skin care regime? Must have skin products? Skin peels?
Natalie: It's important to take care of our skin. What is your skin care regime? Must have skin products? Skin peels?
KC: I do a scrub once or twice a week… I like an
organic one by Acure. I use vitamin c and moisturize. That's about it. I don’t
fuss too much with my skin... it's sensitive. The most important thing for me
is to wash my face at night even if I'm exhausted.
MothersoftheValley: Between your job and Jay's NFL job you must travel a lot with the kids. What are some of your traveling secrets to survive the flight with two boys?
MothersoftheValley: Between your job and Jay's NFL job you must travel a lot with the kids. What are some of your traveling secrets to survive the flight with two boys?
KC: The plane is the one place where they can have/do whatever they
want! Anything to keep them distracted and behaving well. That's when Cam is allowed to play games on the iPad. I also pack a ton of snacks, and
I bring his favorite toys and coloring books.
MothersoftheValley: What are your five must have’s in your diaper bag?
KC: Healthy snacks, chap stick (cam loves putting it
on and it will keep him entertained!), cell phone charger, lotion so my hands
don’t dry out from washing after changing diapers, and one of whatever cam is
into at the moment, so right now I have a little toy car always in there
because he’s obsessed with cars.

Kristin is
honest about what it takes to maintain her hectic schedule and that includes working out, healthy
eating, having an amazing nanny and still learning how balancing two
boys. I just love that. It's what I call "a real mom's, mom." Someone that doesn't hold onto the information, but is willing to share it with other mothers. Will she be adding another member to her family? She has said that is the plan, just not right now. Will we see her on reality TV again? Probably not, but that doesn't rule out her being behind the scenes. I am excited to see what she is doing now and what is to come.
