We love Kristin. Lauryn has all of her cookbooks and Kristin has been a guest on The HIM & HER Show (here and here) AND Lauryn has featured a few of her recipes on the blog before. Think spicy iced coffee, almond butter sugar cookies and her skinny green tea latte.
As a gorgeous, smart, charismatic business woman and mom of 3, we want to know everything she’s doing. Recently Kristin shared 10 things she’s loving on her podcast Let’s Be Honest. Let’s just say, we ate it up and wanted to share them here with you too.
You may remember Kristin as an American television personality, actress, and fashion designer, best known for her role in the reality TV series Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County and its spin-off The Hills. Since then she’s become a successful entrepreneur with Uncommon James and a series of cookbooks as well as a memoir.
Let’s get into her favorite things of the moment.
10 Things Kristin Cavallari LOVES Right Now
+ Batana Oil
Kristin has been using this on two spots on her head for hair growth. She admits TikTok got her hooked, but it’s working! Be sure to get something high quality, organic, raw, cold-pressed. The smell isn’t great apparently, but she says her hair has never looked better.
If you’re interested in scalp massage be sure to read this tutorial and if you’re wanting to grow your brows, lashes or even thinner spots on your hair line, TSC’s Brow Peptide is a game-changer.
+ PRF
This stands for platelet-rich fibrin and it’s when they take your blood, spin it, then needle it back into your skin with the platelets. It’s a skin treatment that helps with skin rejuvenation, reduced wrinkles and improved texture. Kristin specifically is doing this to help with her under eyes and after doing it every six weeks she says it’s changed her under eyes completely.
+ Eating more carbs
A little random, but Kristin has been eating more healthy carbs and especially paying attention to the pasta she buys. By focusing on quality ingredients, good sourdough bread and minimal ingredient pasta made only with durum semolina wheat, her weight and carb intake doesn’t even cross her mind.
Whole Foods has great options, but if you want to know more about the quality of pasta and how it’s made, be sure to listen to Giada De Laurentiis on The HIM & HER Show and check out her line of fine foods.
+ Unbound by Kasia Urbaniak
This book, written by a dominatrix, dives deep into what she’s learned about power over the years and how it plays into our everyday lives. Whether you converse with a friend or a colleague, there is a natural ebb and flow of being submissive and dominant. Kristin is loving this book and it sounds like one everyone should read.
+ Omakase sushi experience
This is a 16 course meal where each course consists of the freshest fish and the chef’s choice. It’s not cheap, but it’s really fun. And it really is an experience. It’s the perfect thing to do for a birthday or anniversary.
+ HEMA-free gel polish
After noticing bumps on her face and nose, Kristin did some research and asking around on why it could be happening and found out it’s because of HEMA, an ingredient found in gel nails. Now she only gets HEMA-free gel manicures and it’s the only kind she’ll let her daughter get too.
If you experience weird rashes, try giving your gel nails a break and going HEMA-free.
+ Red lights
After noticing a way better wind down routine and sleep, Kristin gave these little bedside red lights to everyone for Christmas. And EVERY SINGLE one of them is reported a better sleep. If you want to read at night or just chill in bed, using red light can help calm your nervous system and helps with your circadian rhythm. Everyone says once you start with red light, you can’t image your life without it.
For all of Lauryn’s favorite red light device, check out this post.
+ Cute sweats
As the most worn item in her closet (and the thing she gets DM’d about the most), Kristin bought these Joah Brown sweat pants after Rebecca Minkoff recommended them to her. She also recently discovered another basics brand she loves called Yellow The Label and of course wears Uncommon James sweat sets all the time.
+ East Side Martini
A refreshing cocktail of muddled cucumber, mint, lime juice, and vodka, or you could do tequila of choice. You shake it, you strain it, you pour it and you drink it. Kristin says these are so refreshing and since she’s kind of over tequila, it’s the perfect cocktail.
+ Analog home meters
You know we’ve talked a lot about EMFs on the blog. Something that Kristin found out was that your home’s smart meter is one of the highest emitters of EMFs. This is the meter on the outside of your house that measures usage of gas and electricity. Crazy right.
So whether you believe in the harm EMFs cause, or don’t, you do have the option to call your electrical company and request an analog meter. For Kristin this was an essential switch, since her bedroom is on the other side of the meter.
And there you have it, Kristin’s favorite things right now. Be sure to listen to her full episode for a more in-depth breakdown on all these things.
Gotta go. We’re calling our friends to go for Omakase and East Side Martinis while we order all the basics from Joah Brown.
