Kim Kardashian Shares Her New Year Getaway In Utah
In a recent social media post, Kardashian reflected on her New Year’s ski getaway to Utah and shared a cozy image featuring roasted marshmallows, a chocolate penguin, and a festive array of Christmas coffee mugs.
In her Instagram Story, the 43-year-old mother of four shared a picture of her son Saint, 8, geared up in a helmet and North Face ski jacket. The proud mom noted that Saint “used an alias” “S.W Ronaldo,” before sharing a sticky note of his initials. Saint’s little sister Chicago, 5, also posed for the camera in an all-pink ensemble with a helmet and waterproof jacket.
In the snapshots, Kardashian also captured her skiing escapades, complete with direction signs indicating “Rising Star, Kimberley,” and “Snow Park Lodge.”
Concluding her vacation post, the “AHS” actress shared a snapshot of her stylish white puffer jacket and matching Balenciaga hoodie against the picturesque backdrop of the Wasatch Mountains.
Parenting Expert Dubs Kim Kardashian A ‘Beige Mom’
Last month, fans put Kardashian on blast after the reality TV icon showcased some of her Christmas decorations on social media.
In the comments, fans expressed disappointment with the abundance of white-sprayed fir trees and white lights adorning her hallways. Parenting expert Kirsty Ketley also weighed in, dubbing Kardashian a “beige mom.”
“This beige mom trend has become popular with celebrities, and Kim has to be on trend,” she stated, per The US Sun. “Neutral color can be calming but parents, like Kim, who live their life through social media, tend to choose it for aesthetic reasons.”
The expert noted: “It helps products they are selling pop, and their [Instagram] grids look what they deem perfect. Kim thinks more of how it is all going to look on her social media.”
“This is not about whether her kids like it or not. This is her life and so the kids are used to it so it is very much the norm for them,” Ketley added.
Ketley concluded, “When you have kids at Christmas, this should be about them. This would allow them some part in what it looks like should be the priority. It is quite sad that the kids do not get to have just one day of the year where life is not about the Kardashian brand.”
