“How do you keep bronze?” fans asked. “I can thank my dad for my Italian skin for that,” she answered. “I hate spray tans, you’ll never see me in a tanning bed. I tan very easily and can keep a tan for a long time.” “The bottom line is that there’s no such thing as a healthy tan, unless it’s an artificial tan that comes from a spray or lotion,” says the Mayo Clinic. A spray tan is a decent choice. “The active ingredient in spray tans and other sunless tanning products, such as lotions and creams, is the color additive dihydroxyacetone. When applied to the skin, it reacts with dead cells in the skin’s surface to temporarily darken the skin and simulate a tan. The coloring typically wears off after a few days.”
Will she ever get Botox or filler, her fans asked. “I really don’t think I will. I don’t mind that I have some linea and I’m super-animated so I need my face to move,” she said, adding a “laugh” emoji. “Botox injections are noted primarily for the ability to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles. They’re also used to treat conditions such as neck spasms (cervical dystonia), excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), an overactive bladder and lazy eye. Botox injections may also help prevent chronic migraines,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Botox injections are relatively safe when performed by an experienced doctor” but you may have some side effects.
“Like everyone else, my workout and health routine has been up and down during quarantine, but I finally have gotten back on track,” she told Us. “I lift weights, but I do circuit training to keep my heart rate up. I also started doing hot yoga every once in a while. I don’t do it as often as I would like, but I love it when I’m able to make it happen.”
“We use brown rice noodles or lentil noodles,” said Cavallari about her family pasta nights. Great call. “Lentils aren’t just good for your body, either—they actually help farmers, too. Legumes, including lentils, help farmers’ soil by converting nitrogen from the air, which allows farmers to use less nitrogen fertilizer. So if you’re starting a home garden, lentils could be a great place to start,” says our sister site Eat This, Not That!
“OK, honestly, I need my rock,” she said on Instagram during the fan Q+A. “Someone who is comfortable in their own skin who is stable and has their own” stuff “going on. I want a good, sweet guy. I’m done with narcissist” jerks, “thank you very much.”
