1. Vegan Diet
El Moussa enjoys a plant-based vegan lifestyle. “I don’t push anything on anybody, as everyone has their own rights on the way they want to live,” she told Veg News. “Since [husband] Tarek and I have been together, he has cut out animal products significantly, and when I cook dinner at home, I cook gluten-free and plant-based. He is very supportive of me being vegan. Even at our wedding, we had both a regular and vegan menu, and everything was gluten-free—the vegan Bolognese was a guest favorite.”
2. Pregnancy Workout
El Moussa continued to work out during her pregnancy. “I still prioritize my workouts—I’ve always loved working out—but I definitely don’t push my body like I used to,” she told The Bump. “I used to work out five days a week, and now I choose rest over a workout. I try to do cardio now one to two times a week; I’m doing yoga with an instructor who’s also pregnant; and I usually do Pilates once a week. I take my dog Bugz on a lot of walks. I love getting outside in the fresh air and walking around my neighborhood. I also take time to do some meditation daily, even for 10 minutes if it’s all I can fit in.”

El Moussa loves to cook for her family. “I love to cook—I’m the queen of 20-minute, healthy meals,” she told Veg News. “My go-tos are gluten-free pasta with vegan meatballs, broccoli, mushrooms, pasta sauce, fresh herbs and spices, and Bitchin’ Sauce. I also make burgers with baked potatoes and vegetables. The kids love the way I make veggies—I use vegan butter and cook them to where they are almost crispy. We also have a pizza oven so we try to do pizza night with the kids once a week—my hubby makes the best vegan pizza for me.”

El Moussa was careful about her diet during her pregnancy. “I’m still getting up early because I’m a morning person, but sleep is very important,” she told The Bump. “And hydration is very important! I drink coconut water every day to get extra electrolytes and make sure I have a balanced meal of plant based foods and protein. I really think about how everything I put in my body is for my baby. Everything I eat is nutrients for him to grow and to keep him healthy. I’m very conscious about that.”
5. Skincare First
El Moussa is diligent about taking care of her skin. “Personally, I think if your skin doesn't look good, your make-up won't look good over it,” she told Grazia UK. “Investing in your skincare is way more important than any make-up product. No matter how tired I am or how late it is, I will always take off my make-up before bed. To do this, I'll use an oil-based cleanser and a soft white washcloth to make sure everything is off and my skin is clean.”
