Don't wear big earrings and a big necklace and a big ring all at the same time. Pick your magic.

I value so many people who have to work full time, definitely single mothers. Their work is the hardest work. I applaud it so much.

I love meditating and taking some time for myself when I need it. As moms, it's easy to feel guilty about this sort of thing, but it's necessary. If I'm feeling overwhelmed, I'll walk down the beach or just sit in silence and reflect. Even if it's just 10 minutes, every little bit helps.

I always tell women, "Get in front of a mirror, know your body." Don't think, "OK, I'm going to lose five pounds and I'm going to gain five pounds." Try to find an acceptance in the present and buy things that make you feel good. I would say, if you're buying less expensive clothes, buy two sizes bigger. They'll hang better.

Be yourself, fill your life with good people, and don't get a big head. It can all be gone tomorrow.

My mom FedExes a red velvet cake she makes from scratch to me every birthday.

I do try to watch it. I'm not saying you have to put yourself on a diet, because I hate the word "diet." But it's more of, like, having a balanced lifestyle makes me feel better. I try to do one to two days with no meat. I try to lessen my gluten. Those are things that I struggle with.
