Today, my interview with new mommy Kristin Cavallari picks up where we left off yesterday. She lets me in on how she got back in shape after having son, Camden, how she felt being pregnant and all about her new California-inspired jewelry collection with Pascal Mouawad called Kristin Cavallari by Glamboutique.

RCR: What has been your fitness and getting back into shape after baby routine?
KC: I am doing it on my own, but I have definitely worked out with enough trainers in my day to know what to do. I usually walk for 20 minutes uphill on the treadmill and then I lift weights for 30-40 minutes. I like to do a lunge with a bicep curl so I can work two muscle groups rather than just one and I try to keep it fast-paced so that I burn more calories.
RCR: And how about your eating program?
KC: I am such a healthy eater. And that actually plays a bigger factor in my overall health than the working out part, for me. I try to be as all natural and organic as possible. If there is chemicals in something, I won’t put it in my mouth. I rarely drink alcohol which helps because it is empty calories. I have a huge sweet tooth, and at Whole Foods there is an ice cream called Coconut Bliss which is made from coconut milk. So to me that’s not cheating! I will have that a couple of nights a week. I actually eat a lot of food, but for me, it’s about what I am eating. I try to eat the right stuff.
RCR: But you enjoy and don’t deny yourself.
KC: Right. Jay (Cutler) loves to eat too. He is almost 6’4″ and he has too eat a lot. We both love to eat and like to have fun with it. I would say we are 90% really healthy!
RCR: Switching gears, tell me about how your new jewelry collection Kristin Cavallari for Glamboutique came about.
KC: I have known Pascal for years and I have always been a fan of his line with Nicole Richie, House of Harlow 1960. Basically, every line that he does I think he does an amazing job with and we have been talking about doing a jewelry line. I felt like it was the right time.
RCR: I feel like it is very much your style, California chic. Was that really important to you to have that come through?
KC: Yes, I definitely wanted a line that represented my style and that I love and love to wear. Lots of simple delicate pieces that you can mix and match and layer and stack and that you can incorporate into your own jewelry collection. And you will get great use out of every piece in the line.
RCR: Do you have a favorite piece?
KC: The Pyramidia Layered Necklace that looks like 3 necklaces, but it is really one. And I really love it because you are getting a great deal-3 necklaces for the price of one!
RCR: Now is that child proof?
KC: No, they can still pull it off and break it! (laughing).
RCR: I love that the line is so affordable too.
KC: Everything is under $50. You don’t have to spend a fortune to look and feel great. And I think that is important.
RCR: Where can the collection be purchased?
KC: At Kitson in LA and also online at GlamBoutique.com.
RCR: And what other projects are you working on?
KC: I have my shoe line, Kristin Cavallari for Chinese Laundry, and I am loving being a mom.
RCR: Are you all talking about baby #2?
KC: Yes, we are. And we will do it sooner rather than later. I just stopped breast-feeding so I feel like I just got my body back so I want to enjoy it a little bit before getting pregnant again. But I am in that phase where I am starting to miss being pregnant.
RCR: So you enjoyed being pregnant?
KC: I did. I loved it. Up until the last two months. I wasn’t freaked out about having a big belly or anything like that, but the last six weeks you are just so big and so uncomfortable. But I liked having a little belly. I thought it was kind of fun!
