I have a four-month-old and I also have a toddler, so that takes up all of my time.
I love the little suckers; they're so cute but I love sleep so much and I worry about everything.
I've never had a problem with nudity, but I don't put it out there without a reason.
Meditation really helps create not only a sense of balance... but serenity and kind of a calm state of mind.
Since I begrudgingly started my Instagram account and my social media exposure/connection. I say begrudgingly because I just didn't want to take the plunge, but when I realized it was just a direct connection to our customer and these women, I did it. I like listening to their stories and their feedback.
It's fun to be a woman. It's fun to flirt and wear makeup and have boobs
The celebrity world can be so ugly. Everyone seems to have slept with everyone else and it's some sort of strange weird cycle. I don't want to get into that.
I speak English without an accent, and I speak Spanish without an accent. I really do have the best of both worlds.
A lot of my social media posts are about celebrating these women who wear our clothes, feel great in them and have comments.
Even if you buy a fur glove with the little trim, and you think 'Oh, my God, it's just a little trim,' that animal got clubbed.
I love it, but it's not important to me to always be thought of as sexy. I like it when it doesn't limit my career. It's a part of my life, but on a secondary plane
I've learned that it's way harder to be a baby. Everything is a struggle for her. For instance, I haven't thrown up since the '90s and she's thrown up twice since we started this interview. Motherhood is cake compared to what it's like to be a baby.
[Affordable prices] are important to me. My mother lets me know [if something is too expensive]. With a few dresses, she's, like, "That's too much." "But Mom, it's $59.99." "It's too much." And then I go back and we talk about price points. My family keeps my grounded.
We shouldn't dwell on what is 'perfect.' We should celebrate our uniqueness.
