Whitney Port has come a long way since her days on The Hills. Like her former reality TV co-star Lauren Conrad, she’s not only married (to her former The City producer!) and expecting her first child this year, but she’s built a veritable lifestyle empire that includes a popular blog, social media profile and fashion line. We spoke to the soon-to-be first-time mom and asked her our quickfire questions.
- My morning routine is… wake up, lie in bed a little with my husband, wash face, brush teeth, make coffee and breakfast, work out!
- My go-to beauty products are… Caudalie foaming face wash, Aveeno Clear Complexion Daily Moisturizer, Lanolips Rose Hand Cream and It’s a 10 leave-in conditioner.
- I’m dying to splurge on… a massage every week!
- My most memorable wedding memory is… reciting our vows to each other.
- The career moment I still can’t get over is… being on the cover of Rolling Stone.
- My fitness routine consists of… one regular Pilates class, one prenatal Pilates class, a hike and a strength-training session with a trainer.
- When I look back at my reality TV days, I think… I’m so glad I took the risk and went for it! It was such an amazing platform for me to continue to do what I love so much.
- If you looked in my fridge you’d find… strawberries, nectarines, chocolate milk, tangerine juice, whole milk yogurt, coconut water, Parmesan chunks, carrots.
- One thing I’d tell my 20-year-old self is… be in the moment and keep a journal.
- The best part about being pregnant is… realizing the power we women have to produce such a miracle.
- My favorite beauty trick is… cleaning my makeup brushes and sponges with Dawn Dish Soap*. Wet your dirty brush with lukewarm water and dip into the dish soap. Brush back and forth to absorb the soap and work up a lather. Then gently rub the brush under water and repeat until the water runs clean and suds are gone. Gently squeeze out excess water, reshape and lay flat to dry.
- My best tip for looking good in front of the camera is… get enough sleep the night before and not too much salt, either.
- I deal with insecurities by… working out and venting to my best friends.
- If my days had one extra hour I’d… meditate.
- The best place I’ve ever traveled is… Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri with my family.
- The one clothing item I can’t live without is… right now my soft denim overalls from Aritzia.
- The last thing I googled… images of my husband and me together throughout the years!
- My guilty pleasure is… an extra massage when I get a pedicure.
- The best piece of advice I ever got was… time really does heal so much and there is no way out but through.
- My biggest pet peeve is… loud chewers!
- One thing I wish people knew about me is… I am a great baker! This is one of my favorite recipes.
