She says that she is learning a lot from this experience, mainly that she is not afraid of bad things happening to her. “I was taking the time, really feeling everything that I needed to feel before I was able to really move on,” she says. “I’m no longer afraid of getting hurt.

She revealed what the most important aspect of all her products were. “The base of all the products is hydration because obviously we all know we need to be drinking water, but we also need hydration in our products because I really believe at the end of the day, that’s really what keeps us looking young when our skin is plumped and hydrated. That’s the goal.

2. She Keeps Things Simple

For Cavallari, her products and wellness routine is all about simplicity. “We’re living in modern times. Everything I do with Uncommon James, the jewelry, now obviously skin care, everything is minimal. Everything is effortless. I don’t have 20 minutes every morning to try on different earrings and whatnot, or to have an extensive skin care routine. I have three little kids. I’m trying to get everyone packed up for school and get me to the office. Mornings are hectic and at nighttime I’m exhausted. I don’t want 20 products that I have to sit there and take so long to go through.”

3. She Loves Natural Food
