We've had the pleasure of watching Kristin Cavallari go through many seasons of her life. She first made an impression on our screens with her charismatic personality and iconic one-liners. Since her time on "Laguna Beach" and its successor, "The Hills," Cavallari has written multiple cookbooks, founded her editor-loved jewelry line Uncommon James, and even discovered a new sparkling protein drink called Fizzen. Talk about a résumé!
But no matter what reality TV show gets picked up or what new business venture she takes on, her kids have remained her biggest priority. "I really try to build my schedule around theirs as much as possible," Cavallari tells Popsugar. "Of course, it's not always perfect, but I've worked hard to create a career where I can find a balance. It has become really important to me, and I don't take it for granted." Of course, this just makes it even more special when her kids are able to have a hand in her latest projects. "We just launched men's jewelry at Uncommon James and it was a fun opportunity to bring my boys into the process and get their input, which made it feel really personal," she shares.
In the chaos of juggling it all, Cavallari reveals that the one thing she has kept constant is her approach to wellness and fitness. "My workout routine has stayed pretty consistent over the years and I think that's been the biggest key to seeing results. Consistency always beats perfection." At the core of her tried-and-true routine is lifting heavy weights three times a week, using the StairMaster once a week, and only eating whole foods. So it comes at no surprise that the products she reaches for the most share a similar ethos — they're simple yet effective.
Ahead, the mother, multifaceted entrepreneur, and reality TV star gives us the five products, devices, and snacks that have become her nonnegotiables. From the skin-care duo she reaches for daily to the sweet treat that's always stocked in her fridge, here are Cavallari's must haves.
Kristin Cavallari's Affordable Must Have
In a world where you can get protein in almost any form imaginable, Cavallari sought out to create a beverage that was actually enjoyable. The result? A drink that leaves her satisfied. "Fizzen Peach Mango Sparkling Juice with Protein + Collagen ($15) is light, refreshing, and an easy way to get extra nutrients throughout the day," she says. "I always keep some in my fridge because it's the perfect grab-and-go option when I'm busy or need a little afternoon pick-me-up."
Kristin Cavallari's Investment Must Have
"My Jacuzzi Infrared Sauna ($8,699) is one of the best investments I've made," says Cavallari. "I use it three to four times a week, and I genuinely feel so much better when it's part of my routine. It's become my time to unwind, de-stress, and have a few quiet minutes to myself. Plus, it has built-in red light therapy, so I'm getting those benefits at the same time — it's a win-win."
Kristin Cavallari's Self-Care Must Have
Carving out a moment of mindfulness looks different for everyone, but for Cavallari that typically involves her beauty routine. "I've been consistent with gua sha for years, and I really believe it's made a noticeable difference in my face," she says. "I always use the Uncommon Beauty Face Oil and Gua Sha Duo ($61) because our face oil gives the perfect slip and smells absolutely incredible. It's one of my favorite self-care rituals."
Kristin Cavallari's Sweet Treat Must Have
Even Cavallari can't resist keeping a little sweet treat handy to spark joy. "I always have Goto Dates Pistachio Butter Chocolate Covered Dates ($25) in my fridge. I'm completely obsessed. They're the perfect little treat after dinner or whenever I want a delicious snack. The combination of chocolate, creamy pistachio butter, and sweet dates is so good, and they feel a little indulgent while still being made with simple ingredients."
Kristin Cavallari's Skin-Care Must Have
Out of hundreds of trends swirling across the internet, Cavallari tells us that skin taping is the one that has snuck into her skin-care routine. "I definitely go through phases with them, but I really like them when I'm consistent," she explains. "The only downside for me is that your skin has to be pretty clean for them to stay on all night, and most evenings I'd rather layer on all of my serums and skin care. So it's really just a matter of choosing one or the other." On nights where she feels like reaching for the adhesive, she uses the Skin Gym Face & Mouth Tape Bundle ($40).
