This is a Very Positive, Encouraging Book about Creating a Healthy Lifestyle but It Does Not Contain Much about Reality TV!
I’ve been a fan of Kristin Cavallari since Laguna Beach and later on, The Hills. Of course, Hollywood portrayed her as, well…not a nice person but I never truly believed that she was like that in real life. Over the last few years, I’ve become an even bigger fan of her since she became a mom and have the utmost respect for everything I’ve read about her (I have seen some of her status updates on social media sites). Last night, I saw that she released a book and I immediately purchased it. Since I am a mom as well and am also looking for ways to create a healthier lifestyle, I had no problem splurging on this book.As soon as I started this book, I was hooked! I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning reading it because I love the topics covered in this book and the style in which it is written. I would describe this book as mostly a self-help guide with elements of an autobiography since she writes about herself, a bit of how she grew up and how she came to be the person she is now. For anyone looking for lots of gossip on reality TV and what really happened on Laguna Beach and The Hills, this isn’t that kind of book. Yes, there are some parts where Kristin Cavallari gives readers information on what actually happened but it’s mostly used to show how she decided to change herself to become who she was meant to be. In this book, she often reflects on who she used to be and looks at how far she has come. All in all, she is shown to be a very real person.Balancing in Heels is written in a very positive, encouraging way and I couldn’t stop from smiling because I just felt so happy reading this book! The book is divided into chapters on topics such as becoming a mother and wife, eating healthy, working out, and fashion. Kristin Cavallari writes about what works well for her and even provides examples on what she does to make sure her family eats healthy, “real” food and exercises. I learned quite a bit from this book and already this morning, I’ve been checking nutrition labels to happily discover some of the foods she says are very clean are already ones that I regularly keep in the house! She ends each chapter with a summary called “Balancing it All” to reinforce her main points. She even includes several recipes at the end of the book in case you want to try some of her favorites and I’ll admit, most of them sound pretty tasty.I loved this book, which probably had something to do with the fact that I already knew who Kristin Cavallari was, but this book would appeal to anyone, regardless of if you know who she is or not. Balancing in Heels talks about how she is happy with who she is and breaks down what she does to stay happy and healthy. I already plan on incorporating some of her tips into my lifestyle. The only thing I regret is purchasing this book on my Kindle Paperwhite because the screen is smaller than some of the other Kindles and some of the pictures and charts on the screen of the Paperwhite aren’t as easy to see. Since I plan to use this as a reference, I am going to bite the bullet and purchase a paperback copy as well. If you are either a fan of Kristin Cavallari or are looking for a good, positive book to help encourage a healthier lifestyle, I highly recommend this one and hope she writes more books in the future!

So inspiring and insightful. Full of tons of great advice!
Seriously such a great read. I got this book yesterday and haven’t been able to put it down. I grew up watching Kristin and it’s so neat to see how she went from crazy party animal to wonderful family woman.I understand why some of the reviewers on here don’t care for this book. It can be seen as narcistic if you go into reading it with that kind of “what kind of advice can a reality star give me” attitude. Honestly, I have learned so much from her insight, most especially the chapter about food.I’ve been experimenting with Whole Foods recently and eating organic, and after reading what Kristin says, I’m never going back.I have no idea why people said her recipes seem like they were taken from Google. They are wonderful recipes and super easy. I can’t wait to try them all! This book is so incredibly inspiring. I’m a wife, but not a mom (yet,) so the “mommy mommy” section wasn’t very pertinent to me; however, it was full of great material, and if I was a mom, I’d be all over that chapter!No, I’m not a young ditsy chick that only loves this book solely because it’s Kristin Cavallari. Honestly, when I heard she was writing a book, I rolled my eyes. I thought it would be another stupid “all knowing” book like Khloe Kardashian’s recent book (barf). I’m in my late twenties, teach college English and find this to be one of the most insightful and inspiring lifestyle books I’ve ever read.I’m not hater and don’t feel jealous of Kristin’s seemingly perfect life. This book inspires me to achieve that lifestyle and look at Kristin in an entirely new, positive light.I HIGHLY recommend for those interested in adopting a truly organic, real food diet, and also for those who are open to reading advice from a reality star turned lifestyle goddess.

El contenido del libro es excelente, me molesto mucho que me enviaron un libro usado, maltratado y sucio, no me gusto que es de pasta blanda, consideró serÃa mejor comprarlo en medio electrónico

I really loved the book, as Kristin Cavallari fan I liked her tips on workout, style, beauty, career and health.

Good dispatch time. Would use again.Book as expected. Not particularly well written. Jumps around and is like you are chatting rather than reading. Still.its easy reading when you want to relax as you don’t need to think about it.

I had grown up watching Laguna Beach during my teenage years, and when Kristin Cavallari published a book, I had to get it! With each page you read, Kristin’s voice comes through and makes it a fun read. As a new mom, this book gives me hope that you can have it all – even during the roughest of times of being sleep deprived.
