I focus on the fact that none of what the tabloids said defined me.
90 percent of the time I follow my usual healthy eating routine, but if it's a date night or girls' night out I'll go for that slice of pretzel bread or dirty martini and not torture myself over it.
Galvanized plumbing was used years ago. Now we use copper.
I love a good book and a glass of wine. It's like heaven.
I believe in all sorts of hippie stuff.
Since 'Flip or Flop' aired in 2013, people really weren't asking me, like, 'Hey, what paint color is that?' or, 'Where'd you get that cabinet?' It was more, 'How do you stay healthy? How do you balance work life with the kids? What are you eating during the day?'
I think most people see me as a glamorous type of person, and at the end of the day, I'm more just a low-key mom.
The day Tarek and I officially started dating, which was October 9, 2006, we moved in together.
I'm very spiritual, and I believe in things happening for a reason.
I'm like that with everyone now. If something is on my mind, you're gonna know.
Tarek and I have a common goal to create beautiful houses for families. We work hard but our priority is spending quality time with our wonderful kids and raising them to appreciate the love of family.
Honestly, Tarek and I met through work, so we worked together before we even started dating - it's our normal.
Tarek and I are friends.
I eat healthy salads and nut butters.
I don't eat anything processed.
Sometimes there might be a foundation of the house, and then you buy it and you don't know how bad it really is.
I like painting, I think it's relaxing. I also like designing; I don't really like the manual labor, to be honest.
My first memory of flipping a house was when I was pregnant with my daughter Taylor. We bought a condo in Santa Ana, and I think we paid around $120,000. It was really exciting because when we went to auction, it was the first property we went to bid on and we won it.
I'm really all about lighting, so basically every room in my house has a chandelier, at least all the main ones.
My favorite colors are black, white and silver.
