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 don't eat fast food, I don't eat fried food, and I eat tons of fruits and vegetables.
I eat healthy salads and nut butters.
I don't eat anything processed.
In terms of what I eat in a day, for breakfast, I love overnight oats, and I'm also a huge smoothie person.
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.
I actually have a hard time finding furniture I like.
I like to do a bronze smoky eye with some lashes and a nude lip. That's my favorite look.
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 like when we do houses in the beach cities, because we can go a little crazier with budget. It's fun to do more original things like wallpapers and high-end design.
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.
Ant has been so supportive. He's very grounded. As he entered my world, there's so many false stories spinning out there and he's never said one word to me about any of it.
I love design. That's my favorite part about flipping houses and that's what I'm good at so to be able to go outside the box and not just design houses that are flips.
Changing up your home decor is a great way to get a fresh start, especially when going through something like a breakup or a divorce. Begin with replacing the pictures of your ex around the house with photos of your kids or memories with friends. You can even shop for beautiful new frames to make the process more fun and design friendly.
My style has evolved a lot.
Most people want things that are light and bright - open floor plans, light cabinets - things they won't get sick of quickly.
Being married to Ant, he's a little more industrial than I am.
It's important when you're coparenting to make sure that you're on the same page.
I have a very close, tight group of friends. I lean on them for support and I lean on my kids and just want to be the best mom possible.
I love a bath.
I love a good book and a glass of wine. It's like heaven.
Everyone's had a setback, but it's how you move forward and what you do with your future, that's what matters.
I love to fix up a house, but I also love to help people. I feel like that's my calling.
When I'm stressed, food is the last thing on my mind.
Nutrition is very important to me for both my own health and wellness, but also for my children.
It's all about everything in moderation. If I want a glass of wine I'm going to have it, or some chocolate - sure why not!
For me, my nutrition routine is a way of life, and I have so much energy when I exercise and eat a healthy balanced diet.
Tarek and I don't discuss each other's relationships at all.
No matter what, I never want to say something about Tarek that my kids would have to read about later. That's their dad, and it's not my focus to put him down.
Exercise is my stress reliever.
There is nothing like a good three-mile run for me to really clear my head and get my endorphins going. My other go-to is yoga.
I discovered Orangetheory and I'm totally hooked! It combines running, which is my favorite workout, with weight training, which I never do on my own.
I eat five small meals a day that usually consist of overnight oats for breakfast, a green juice for a snack, salad with a protein for lunch, granola bar as a snack and then a healthy dinner of chicken or salmon and veggies, tacos or vegan chili.
I want to just enjoy being a mom.
A quick 3-mile run around my neighborhood is what I find maximizes my quick workouts and gives me energy to get through my day.
Running has always been my go-to workout.
Usually I only have 30 minutes for a workout, so I make sure to make the most out of it.
I don't drink anything during the day besides coffee in the morning and then lots of water.
Giving back is very important to me, especially during the holiday season.
I want to show my children the importance of donating our time and energy to help those in need.
Ant is like a big kid and life feels so much more positive with him in it. He really helps ground me.
