I never underestimate the power of hot rollers for your hair and eyelash,curlers for your eyelashes.
In high school I had some famously egregious fashion missteps. I was,really out there in fashion, I think because I wanted attention.
The rugs that I picked out and the pillows with the little owls, sort of,like whimsical throw pillows - I feel like you can never enough,whimsical throw pillows in your house, in your life. My husband,probably disagrees.
I only became a celebrity because I had a kid. Before I was pregnant,nobody cared.
I love my nose! I was so nervous when I got pregnant that I was going to,get that weird nose spread that you sometimes see pregnant ladies get.
I love little Peter Pan collars and little puff sleeves.
My mother accidentally gave me food poisoning. She fed me baby carrots,for a snack before Christmas dinner - but they had expired in June!
I find it to be strange that people get obsessed about how fast,actresses and celebrities are taking off their baby weight. I guess,people like to look to them and feel better about themselves or feel,worse about themselves.
Nobody wants to see a bejeweled pregnant lady from top to bottom.
I would never be on a reality show.
