I have certain physical features that I favor over others. We all have our areas.

I really feel free and not as serious as I have been in the past.

I really love traveling to Japan.

I like to be as free as possible at all times.

I embraced being a pop artist, but I like doing it on my own terms, at my own pace.

I have six-year-old fans that weren't even around for 'Genie in a Bottle' or even 'Fighter.'

The blind audition process can be nerve-wracking.

It's been a joy to be a part of other people's journey, to be able to inspire and be a part of new singers coming up in this business.

My fans do deserve to see me back out on the road.

The road is a lot of work.

I didn't want to do something that was easy for me.

I'm at peace.

It's important to take time for your spouse and nurture the relationship.

I love color - I'm not a beige kind of girl.

I'm not being like, 'Hey, everybody, I'm pregnant!' I'm not that girl.

I have more than one side of me that likes to get out on a stage and sing.

There was no way in hell I was going to jeopardize my baby for my show.

I've been through my highs, I've been through my lows; I've been through the gamut of all things in this business. Being too thin. Being bigger. I've been criticized for being on both sides of the scale. It's noise I block out automatically. I love my body.

I don't weigh myself - it's all about how I feel in my clothes.

I'm a big micro manager; I'm a stickler about organisation; everything needs a place, a purpose, and micro managing myself even when I'm in the studio.

I've never watched an entire episode of 'American Idol'. It's too mean.

I still have my eyes on the prize: I want to be that old lady onstage shaking her hips and singing her greatest hits.

That's why I wrote 'Fighter'. I have that need in me to help people. I am all about the underdog.

A lot of people are afraid to face themselves, especially when something goes wrong. But that's important, because if something happens within a relationship, it could be how you're allowing someone else to treat you.

Target is one of the best at really listening to the artist and understanding what they are about.

The most vulnerable people have tough exteriors because they are very scared inside, and it's very hard for people like that - people like me - to open up. But playing it safe means you stop being open to learning. I always try to find the challenges.

Since 'Flip or Flop' aired in 2013, people really weren't asking me, like, 'Hey, what paint color is that?' or, 'Where'd you get that cabinet?' It was more, 'How do you stay healthy? How do you balance work life with the kids? What are you eating during the day?'

I think most people see me as a glamorous type of person, and at the end of the day, I'm more just a low-key mom.

The day Tarek and I officially started dating, which was October 9, 2006, we moved in together.

I'm very spiritual, and I believe in things happening for a reason.

I'm like that with everyone now. If something is on my mind, you're gonna know.

Tarek and I have a common goal to create beautiful houses for families. We work hard but our priority is spending quality time with our wonderful kids and raising them to appreciate the love of family.

Honestly, Tarek and I met through work, so we worked together before we even started dating - it's our normal.

Tarek and I are friends.

I don't eat fast food, I don't eat fried food, and I eat tons of fruits and vegetables.

I eat healthy salads and nut butters.

I don't eat anything processed.

In terms of what I eat in a day, for breakfast, I love overnight oats, and I'm also a huge smoothie person.

Sometimes there might be a foundation of the house, and then you buy it and you don't know how bad it really is.

I like painting, I think it's relaxing. I also like designing; I don't really like the manual labor, to be honest.

I actually have a hard time finding furniture I like.

I like to do a bronze smoky eye with some lashes and a nude lip. That's my favorite look.

My first memory of flipping a house was when I was pregnant with my daughter Taylor. We bought a condo in Santa Ana, and I think we paid around $120,000. It was really exciting because when we went to auction, it was the first property we went to bid on and we won it.

I like when we do houses in the beach cities, because we can go a little crazier with budget. It's fun to do more original things like wallpapers and high-end design.

I'm really all about lighting, so basically every room in my house has a chandelier, at least all the main ones.

My favorite colors are black, white and silver.

Ant has been so supportive. He's very grounded. As he entered my world, there's so many false stories spinning out there and he's never said one word to me about any of it.

I love design. That's my favorite part about flipping houses and that's what I'm good at so to be able to go outside the box and not just design houses that are flips.

Changing up your home decor is a great way to get a fresh start, especially when going through something like a breakup or a divorce. Begin with replacing the pictures of your ex around the house with photos of your kids or memories with friends. You can even shop for beautiful new frames to make the process more fun and design friendly.

My style has evolved a lot.
