1. She Keeps Her Skin & Body Hydrated

New You interviewed Cavallari about her wellness routine and her beauty line. 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

Cavallari makes sure to eat healthy. She tells New You that she eats a lot of organic and raw food. “I am a very healthy eater. So, what does that mean? That means we’re organic as often as possible. Real food. I never look at fat or calories or anything on an ingredient label. I just read the actual ingredients, and I just want to make sure that I’m eating real food as close to its natural state as possible.”

4. She Works Out Regularly

Cavallari makes sure to work out, even with her busy schedule. She tells New You that she does a lot of exercising each week. “I work out five days a week and I lift weights, but I go quickly. It’s circuit training so that my heart rate is up.”

5. She Has Relaxed

Cavallari lives a busy lifestyle. However, she tells Byrdie that she has learned to live a more relaxed life, mainly because of the pandemic.“I have learned to chill out more. I think the biggest thing is just being present. For so long, I was so set on my goals, where now I’ve taken a backseat. I have goals, but I’m not so hung up on them, and I’m just letting life happen.”

Kristin Cavallari, the reality star and wellness maven, has a notoriously fit figure. However, she revealed on Instagram that she hasn’t always been comfortable with herself. Cavallari just posted a new photo of herself posing on a balcony in a black bathing suit, overlooking the ocean. She captioned the post, “I’ve been sitting on this picture for a few days going back and forth on if I should post it or not. Ultimately I decided to bc I’ve come a long way from a few years ago and I’m really proud of the progress I’ve made. I don’t even recognize the girl in those other 2 photos..and no, I never had an eating disorder..that was purely stress. I work out really hard and am dedicated to a healthy lifestyle and I think just because I’m a mom doesn’t mean I can’t be proud of my body and be comfortable in my skin. So, here ya go.” How does she stay so fit?

1. She’s Motivated By Her Kids

Cavallari didn’t always live a healthy lifestyle. She tells Glamour that becoming a mother inspired her to change her diet. ‘‘It wasn't until I became pregnant with my first son Camden that I really changed my lifestyle.

Cavallari broke down her favorite workouts to Glamour. She says that she does a lot of lower body workouts, since that is the part of her body she wants to focus on. “Maintaining muscle in my butt is my forever challenge. No matter what I do, it stays pretty small (lol).”

3. She Avoids Certain Ingredients

Cavallari eats a lot of natural, organic food. She tells Glamour that she looks at what ingredients a food has, before she buys them. “I never look at calories, only the ingredient label. If there are crazy additives in it, I stay away. When I'm cooking at home, I cook gluten free and I never use cow's milk.”

4. She Starts Slow

Cavallari eats a healthy diet. And it took her a while to get there. She advises Glamour readers that in order to live her lifestyle, you have to start slow. “Pick 3 additives you want to stay away from and just start with those until they become second nature. For example, corn syrup, added colours, and MSG are additives I will never eat."

5. She Gives Herself Grace

Cavallari might live a healthy lifestyle, but she does allow herself breaks. She says that this helps her overall relationship with food. “It’s important to give ourselves grace and not beat ourselves up,” she said to Us Weekly. “For so many years in my early 20s, I was all or nothing. I have the best relationship I’ve ever had with food and health because I’ve let go of a lot of that control. It’s about consistency — just keep showing up.”

Another workout Cavallari likes to do is use the stairclimber. “Usually, I’ll work out and maybe do 30 minutes of a VersaClimber [on a fourth day], which will also kick your butt, man,” she told Us Weekly.

Cavallari shared one of her favorite healthy breakfasts with Insider. "Sometimes I'll make a little egg bowl and I'll use scrambled eggs, avocado, soft goat cheese, and spinach, and maybe a little hot sauce. I sautée the spinach and then I throw everything together. It really doesn't take long and you can use the same pan for the spinach as the eggs to have less to clean up."

5. She Loves Healthy Drinks

Cavallari loves healthy beverages, and shared some of her favorites with StyleCaster. “I love kombucha, and actually make my own. I do green juices. There’s also this stuff called tiger nut milk. Tiger nut is a root vegetable, but you can make milk from it. I buy it from this juice place that puts vanilla, maple syrup, and all kinds of stuff in it—it’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever had in my entire life. And it’s supposed to be really good for you.”
