“I always strive for a healthy work-life balance, and when I’m not designing for LC Lauren Conrad and Little Co., I prefer to spend most of my free time with my husband and children.”

The Colorado-born 36-year-old told ET on Dec. 14, “I think for her and for me, it was so dependent on one main event. The whole “You know what you’ve done” event. Things kind of went downhill from there. But then we didn’t communicate that much. But I think for us, we’re both moms and things are different, so I feel like one day… I mean, I’ve talked to her since The Hills after. I have no hard feelings. I certainly wish her the best” (pictured in 2009)

Never again! The FIT alum previously admitted she only agreed to do The Hills in 2006 because she was “broke” and starring in MTV’s Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County was “the easiest money I’ve ever made” (pictured above, 2006).
