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 to do a bronze smoky eye with some lashes and a nude lip. That's my favorite look.

I actually have a hard time finding furniture I like.

I like painting, I think it's relaxing. I also like designing; I don't really like the manual labor, to be honest.

Sometimes there might be a foundation of the house, and then you buy it and you don't know how bad it really is.

In terms of what I eat in a day, for breakfast, I love overnight oats, and I'm also a huge smoothie person.

I don't eat anything processed.

I eat healthy salads and nut butters.

I don't eat fast food, I don't eat fried food, and I eat tons of fruits and vegetables.

Tarek and I are friends.

Honestly, Tarek and I met through work, so we worked together before we even started dating - it's our normal.

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.

I'm like that with everyone now. If something is on my mind, you're gonna know.

I'm very spiritual, and I believe in things happening for a reason.

The day Tarek and I officially started dating, which was October 9, 2006, we moved in together.

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.

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?'

It's not what you pay a man, but what he costs you that counts.

I don't like cream puff, corny guys. Usually, they are the nice guys, the ones that won't hurt you. They'll pull out the chair for you and the whole nine yards. Everything is perfect and boring.

It would be nice to design a real briefcase - you open it up and it's your computer but it also stores your books.

The Oscars are really nice, but the best part is that I had the opportunity to do that kind of work.

The loss pressed down on her chest and came up into her throat. it was a fine cry -- loud and long -- but it had no bottom and no top, just circles and circles of sorrow.

Picture in a frame

Nothing ends nicely, that's why it ends.
