“I like to keep Valentine's dinner light so you don't crash after and can keep the fun going through the night!”

“I enjoy celebrating Valentine's Day. It's a nice way to say you're thinking about your family, someone special, or dear friends.”

“Embrace yourself and do what you can to look and feel your best. Don't put on so many fashion trends that create a ridiculous style statement. Pick and choose what feels good, and flatters your own body.”

“The Fourth of July should be celebrated with big hearts.”

“It wasn't such a pleasant experience. We went through 14 hours with contractions every two minutes, no epidural, no nothing. Every two minutes, I would pass out. I went to the hospital on Saturday, and Levi was born on Monday.”

“In my 20s, I wanted to be hot; now I want to be healthy.”

“Women inspire me. Women in the airports, around the country in different cities, destinations around the world, inspire me with the way they express their individuality. I love watching women and discovering all the ways each person uses a color, pattern, a style, even a lipstick color. I'm a people watcher.”

“A lot of times, you think you want something, and then you find something completely different.”

“I'm still learning how to do things - like lining my eyes? Forget it.”

“I'm curvy.”

“A lot of the time, you see something really beautiful, but if you don't have the perfect figure and are a really small size, it won't work well for you.”

“A lot of people, sometimes they're so stuck on, 'I gotta get married, I gotta get married.' They forget that the really important thing is to have a healthy home, a healthy family, a healthy environment for your kids and to have everything going in a good, peaceful way.”

“I think the only time that I worry about looking good is on the red carpet.”

“The main thing for me is to make sure our home is peaceful, that it's healthy, that the kids are good.”

“I love ice cream, and I love chocolate.”

“I love dancing.”

“My waist used to be tiny. I just saw a picture of Miley Cyrus with a little crop top and low pants, and I'm like, 'That was me growing up in Brazil!' I had the typical model body, but after babies, it changed. I look more like a woman.”

“This shared love of cooking and celebration has allowed me to create a strong bond with my family.”

“As a mom of three young kids, it's difficult to reserve a big chunk of time for shopping, so I try to get my gifts little by little throughout the year. I think this is especially helpful for those of us who are budget conscious.”

“I don't like exercising; I'll be honest with you.”
