Time flies when you're on an emotional roller coaster.
Kaitlyn Bristowe
As I get older - and wiser of course - I appreciate natural beauty in a different way.
I am human, and I am also honest.
Everything I do - whether it be the podcast, the wine, scrunchies, my live spring break tour - I always want it to be about empowerment and bringing women together and feeling strong.
I've always in some way tried to rebel against the norm, but there's always been a voice deep inside that pressures me to look my best, not leave the house without makeup, etc.
I never really thought about pursuing singing because my whole life was about dance and singing just kind of came with it.
Using Tan-Luxe makes it easy to not expose my face to the sun because I know I can still get that natural tan. It's very easy to apply, and I love the bronzed color it turns into - definitely not an orange tone at all.
While my season of 'The Bachelorette' was airing, people would call me awful, awful names. They'd question my integrity and character.
I have a really crazy cackle laugh, and I think sometimes people don't realize that they're not laughing at my jokes, they're actually just laughing because of my laugh.
I'm attracted to men who know what they want and go after it.
Truth is, I have been scared of birds since I was a little girl. I think it's genetic because my mom shares this fear with me.
When in Texas, do as the Texans do: Drive trucks, wear cowboy boots, and two-step!
It's okay to be annoyed with your significant other and feel overwhelmed at times.
I think a lot of women feel pressure to have kids, especially when you get engaged. And for me, I'm like, I don't want that pressure on myself.
If you've ever been a person who is running a successful brand or business and with someone who is doing the same, but in a different career path, you know that times can be tough. You're both always away. You're exhausted at the end of the day. Sometimes the relationship isn't being put first, but does that mean, 'Oh, you call it quits?' No.
Because of social media, we're so fixated on our appearances.
Everyone is different, and I would rather be disliked for who I am than liked for who I am not.
There is something about a guy who has a great relationship with his sisters.
You cannot make somebody else responsible for your own happiness.
When a woman says the connection is gone, don't tell her how hot she is. A connection is more than someone's appearance.
Nothing beats a good tan, but I've also been trying to avoid sun exposure on my face as much as possible.
I always say that my biggest fear in a relationship is cheating, and people giving up.
I'm an open book. I share a lot of my life with everybody.
Social media is always a highlight reel. I think it's about finding the right accounts to follow. There are so many refreshing ones out there to follow that will inspire you or make you feel better.
I think everyone should definitely know they're not alone.
I share a lot of my life with everybody.
I'll never forget my mom coming into the room middle of the night with YouTube videos of hypnotizing people saying, 'You're happy, you're going to be okay,' and she just played it in my ear as I slept.
I pushed away a lot of friendships.
I'm telling you, I'm going into 'Dancing With The Stars' being like 'Okay this is my last hurrah,' because I'm ready to have babies.
I always laugh at Americans and their football.
I think my dad taught me what a man should be to a woman.
Anything I do in life, I always want to work hard, play hard and so I'm still drinking my wine, I'm still eating my McDonald's on Sundays, but I am working hard through the week.
I don't want my bridesmaids looking better than me.
Lipstick is so feminine, but there's nothing worse than having a dark merlot stain on a fresh coat of petal pink lipstick.
Ruby Woo by MAC is my fav.
I'm definitely not the traditional type of gal.
I just want an intimate beach wedding.
I have never been the type of girl that has pictured my wedding.
Tan-Luxe will always be on my list of favorite beauty products.
It's unbelievable to me that someone can go on someone's photo and comment on their weight. It's not healthy for anyone.
I get comments all the time about my weight just because I'm really tiny.
I try to just be as real and open as possible.
My dog, Ramen... is the only one that keeps me calm when I experience being close to a panic attack and when I feel that pain and heat in my chest. That's what emotional support animals do.
I don't like dragging people.
I've always dreamt about having kids more so than my wedding day. When it comes to colors, flowers, dresses... no idea. But if you ask me about kids; how many I want, names, genders? I'll have a full list for you!
I'm good at finding good deals!
Reverse washing was a huge game changer for me, because if anyone knows me, they know I am obsessed with getting volume in my hair.
I actually got a lot of negative feedback about my hair on 'The Bachelor' because I like to just wash it and go.
After my time on 'The Bachelorette,' I launched my podcast called 'Off the Vine.' The premise is simple, my guests and I open a bottle of wine and have some good conversation.
That's why I love wine, it opens people up, brings people together, and it's an important part of so many of my favourite memories.
