Lauren Conrad and I (FINALLY!) Reunite | WITH WHIT | Whitney Port

he's hiding oh my god what are you most excited about this episode how many times did i ask you to help me with the outline for questions she was really nervous i was nervous you guys so you should watch because she was nervous and that means she cares and if she cares that means it's good so if it's good then you guys will like it too um we've morphed into one person let's see if i can make it so you're totally gone i did it okay anyways this episode is the part one of my interview with lauren conrad especially from my youtube peeps love y'all i hope you enjoy it um let me know what you think i know it's been 15 years since we filmed together but i don't know how long it's been since the show ended no since we started no since we started since we started exactly so we met we met 15 years ago i think i was 20 and i was in college and you had just moved to la and since we've gotten married and we've had kids and we've launched businesses and so much has happened and i would say the question that i get asked the most of all time is are you still friends with lauren i know and i'm like it's it's just so interesting because that's what i mean what people really want to know right like that's how people really got to know us was together in the teen boat closet and people always want to know the behind the scenes and like if there was any drama and so my answer to them is always like like i was telling you on the phone like it's got you know it's friends that you went to college with like good friends that you had really special experiences with that you always have love for but that you don't always keep in touch with like does does anybody has anyone ever asked you that if you're still friends and like how would you answer how do you answer i wait whitney you put me on the spot i'm going no actually like what you said is is perfectly describing it like i have so much love in my heart for you and like we shared this really weird unique thing and and i think it is it's like it's like old college friends where it's like you know i'll always remember you like that and and i'll never have that with anybody else you know what i mean like totally like nobody really knows the stuff that we know or like you know it's like that thing it's just these roots that are always very strong and even when i'm talking to you now i'm like oh it feels totally normal like i'm just sitting with you in that closet again so that feels really nice i know that closet um so yeah because for me i mean and i wanted to touch on this a little bit but like i we i had a friend that i had a falling out with that you then became best friends with and i always thought for this all this time i've been telling myself this story that because of that falling out with this friend that that tinted how you felt about me and so i have felt like this insecurity that maybe you thought certain things about me that may not have been true or that i didn't have the chance to explain and so i've always thought that maybe you were upset with me for what happened with that friend this is it's so funny how there are things that we kind of like have in our mind and we're like well that's that's what it is and um and again obviously we talked about this but like yeah i wish we'd had this conversation because when you said this i was like i actually have no idea what you're talking about and it's so crazy and like again like i have so much love for you and i it's it's one of those things where like i i stopped filming and then i just kind of needed a clean break for a minute to emotionally recover and um i took some time off and then obviously moved out of la and so i have so many friends that like i love catching up with and i get to see them every once in a while and and it's uh you know it's i feel like i'm not describing this correctly no it's fine no you you totally are it's it's it's those things these stories that we tell ourselves that we've told ourselves for so long and it's like i was talking about this with timmy and he was like you always just have to clear things up or tell people how you feel and get the response because it's like for years i've been living with this feeling that you you hate hearing this i hate it so much i know i'm so but but it's because it's be that that whole situation was so hard for me and then because you guys became such close friends i was like oh my god now lauren's just gonna think i'm the worst person because of maybe she thinks that i'd like drop this friend or whatever it was and and so anyways i feel like i'm so happy that i told you and got off my chest and that it's something that's so not a thing and it's something that i need to continue to tell myself like stop always believing these things that you tell yourself like you have to you have to get validation from the other person it's just not healthy for me to hold on to that yeah i mean i hate saying this right now but like hindsight is always funny like yeah one of those things you're like oh i wish i would have said something or done something but also like when you feel that way like that's such a terrible feeling where you're like well i don't want to like i don't know confrontation is always really challenging for me too so i'm always like maybe say a little time and like it'll fix itself i don't know yeah i mean i think i also like i also felt like you know once the show was over you not not that you wanted any nothing to do with it because i know that it wasn't that but that you you tried to remove yourself obviously a little bit because it was something it was so like personal for so many years and you were just you know you couldn't have that magnifying glass on your life anymore and so i think that i fell into that bucket of like maybe she just doesn't really want anything to do with me anymore because like i'm part of this show that you know that she wants to kind of move away from does that make sense totally yeah yeah i get it i think yeah again like it was such an odd time for me and and i i did it for as long as i could and it was one of those things where i was like okay well this isn't like a healthy space for me anymore yeah like i need i need to kind of like live my own life and do this and i really like i i kind of like removed myself from that whole scene really i think it was just and and i apologize forever making you feel that way because obviously it had nothing to do with you personally it's just like okay like i need to live my life i lived a certain way for so long and like as much as i am appreciative and i love you and i love so many people we've worked with like you know there is like certain like toxic elements there and and it's really hard and i was like okay i gotta i gotta just like step away from this world and like kind of heal in a way and like figure out who i wanna be because again like we started so young and i was like it's like it's such a time where you're figuring out who you are and i was like i did it in such a such a weird way like i need to do this on my own now with like no other voices are just like literally living my life for me so um and i heard you felt the exact same way when you stepped away it's like a very weird thing we're like it's so weird yeah and it's like who am i and like how am i gonna make things happen now because for so long there was a whole team of people making things happen for us and then all of a sudden it's like no we actually now need to be the creators of our own destiny what what is like a day in the life right now like what does quarantine look for you right now with two kids so right now i have like right behind me is our our living room i have a bounce house in our living room i have like no furniture shoved to the sides and like a huge bounce house because the air quality has been so bad right right it hasn't been outside in a week and he's going crazy like my my youngest charlie like he you know he doesn't he's like crawling around he's fine like i'm sure he'd like to go outside but it's not as big of a deal but liam who's three is so much energy like but yeah it's so much our kids are like the same age you know yeah yeah i took them on a walk this morning i had to get them out because i was just like a little better i checked my air quality app and i was like okay i like let him out into the yard today but i just like i've been keeping him pent up inside he's going crazy and i'm like i don't want to stick him in front of a tv like i don't know what to do and so i just dragged the bounce house that we got and like our first week of quarantine i was like we have to do something with them and it was like like the best 200 i've ever spent i was just i know we got one for outside too we got one for for our backyard too but then i don't know timmy got so annoyed with it because sunny wasn't using it like sunny is like a very typical toddler well where he'll use something for a couple days and then he's sick of it and timmy was like i don't want this eyesore thing hanging out anymore and so we ended up giving it away but we should have just put it in our house yes i dragged it in and i was like there you go like bounce it out oh my god so the two of them will spend hours in there no no no charlie it's too scary you know he's just you know they get so rough i'm just like i can't put a baby in there with you yeah i go in there with him yeah oh out of shape so what do you like what's the first thing you do when you wake up like and what does your day look like like a typical day um gosh it's so different every day so we we work out of a house that's across the street from us so we set up offices and um so we usually wake up and get ready and then my husband and i work together um yeah and so we get up and you know we walk to the office and we work and then we you know or we you know the kids we get think we get the morning with them and then yeah we go to work and then we come home and have lunch as a family and then work from nice on you know obviously we're not traveling this year or doing much so um usually every day is pretty different but now it's kind of always the same it's a lot of fun i know a lot of zoom calls a lot of uh just like the amount of boxes and samples that show up at our house every day is wild oh my god yeah so so your husband works with you like with all your businesses and then and he was like you know if you work at a locker room you're just constantly gone and and he was actually working on my stuff but a lot of other um a lot of other people's as well and so finally after a couple years like before we had kids we were like you know what let's like you're already you already work on everything i do like what if you just do that full time you helped me run the business it was becoming too much for me and i was like that way like we can you know see each other and make our own schedules and have like flexibility with a family and it's been unfortunately really nice i know it's been really nice for us too that's so funny how did you guys meet did you meet because he was at the law firm is that oh no he was in business because uh he met my lawyer and then they became friends and then it was in school so i met him he was a law student when i met him um i feel like i i knew this but i kind of forgot i was going to usc law and i met him through yeah it was a blind date like a set up on valentine's day we like all went out as a group and my my friend of a friend was just like i had this guy i'm going to law school with and i she said she's really cute she's she's southern she was like you all think the same stuff is funny i think you'll get along like i don't get your jokes but like you guys both seem to get them um and yeah the rest is history oh my gosh um how how do you guys like make time for just the two of you like have you gone on any dates like anything fun that you guys are doing to it you know because yeah no we're actually like we need to now that like things are starting to open up we're like talking about i mean he was like do you want to go camping like we like we don't really want to go to a hotel yet but i was like i really don't want to camp that sounds terrible so yeah we're trying to figure out like what a date even looks like um i mean obviously our time together i mean we spend most of the day together and then you know once the kids are down we have that time i mean i'm sure you know as well it's like you also want to find time for yourself so you know we're we're doing that 20 20 dance yeah no totally when after we have dinner or after we put sunny down like i'll go take a shower do my night routine for 30 like 30 minutes have my own just sane time and then he plays a video game for like a half hour and then we meet up and like we'll sit on the couch and watch tv and whatever i don't expect like it's it's a little bit too much to expect like date night and the whole thing but just to have some time just the two of us sitting on a couch is like enough for me but we're counting that as a date we do that every night yeah okay so we have date night every night go us we're killing it um into your businesses you are running so many different businesses you have your clothing line and now kids clothing line and your makeup line what have been some of like the notable highs and lows of your businesses um like i know for me like closing down whitney eve was obviously a very emotional hard thing for me after my dad passed away and um you know there's been obviously various things that have happened but can does anything come to mind like any amazing moments really like i can't believe this is happening or anything like not so great well this this year was a challenge um you know for so many people and and again like i feel really lucky for for where we're at and everything we have but um we were launching two lines this year and through covid you know it held up production like i had a kids line like stuck on a boat like it was just everywhere and then it was like even just getting lines physically done there was also you know we had to consider is it appropriate to launch a line right now right um there's just so many factors it's like you know for our kids line it was like there's there's so much tragedy happening right now and a launch there's something about a launch that feels really celebratory and it feels weird to do but at the same time like you want to be sensitive you want to do launches when they feel appropriate but also people's jobs depend on this and like you don't want to examine people like not having employment it's just like a it was just messy and we had the same thing with the beauty line it was pushed gosh like six months like the launch it was and and it was it was hard i mean we got we got creative with a lot of stuff we had to figure it out but it was like every day there was something and i mean we were i mean we're lucky to have jobs so like we're not really in a place to complain but it was it was challenging that was yeah that was challenging and what about moments like a career moment where you're like oh my god i can't believe this is happening to me this is so cool uh showing it new york fashion week was amazing yeah i was able to do that um especially now because like i don't i don't know what fashion week looks like like is that does that happen again like or when it's such a i'm just really grateful that i had the opportunity to do it um that was a wild moment yeah well i had the same experience with you like i had a rent the runway um collection launch and it was supposed to launch in april and obviously we couldn't launch it then because nothing was going going to be able to be shipped and it was like oh my god we're going to be launching a clothing line this feels so inappropriate so we launched it a couple months later and even so i still felt like does this feel right but the same as you it's like all all this hard work has gone into it so many people's lives depend on it like maybe there's some way that this can bring joy into people's homes i found myself really enjoying even if it's only a few times like enjoying putting myself together a little bit or like putting on some makeup i think the beauty line actually it's a perfect time to launch it because people still are like putting together a quick natural look especially for zoom calls and everything that they have to do um but i and the the kids clothes like kids are constantly growing and need new clothes you know like we may not need new clothes but kids do i mean i've just been buying something i just buy tops now because i'm like this is all that's all anybody seen i have sweats oh um what has been like the greatest business lesson that you've learned uh the greatest business lesson is um i think it's just how important relationships are and i mean that in different ways one like when you're partnering with someone like it's i've worked with friends it's worked out it hasn't worked out like and also i've i've worked with someone and you know done a good job of maintaining that relationship that you know the business relationship ended but then it led to something else later like relationships are everything i think that's the biggest thing that i've learned it's just you know yeah i think working with friends is really tricky like i i advise against it especially that worked with my family um love my family to death but like would never do that again and would would tell or would urge people not to do that just because you just want to love your family and friends for who they are you don't want anything else to tint your relationship and so sometimes i'm like oh but timmy and i are doing this together and you and william are doing this together and we're making it work but there's something different about that yeah well you're building something together and you're building a life together so like it is different and i totally get what you're saying the only like i've yeah i've worked with friends and it's not always gone great but the exception i have there is i work with have you ever met hannah yeah of course of course yeah so i i have worked with hannah for years and she's one of my best friends and we run a non-profit together and i think the fact that it's a non-profit sort of changes that there's you know none of us are working towards like a financial gain like we're we're just working to help other people and we have that in common i think she's also just a great person and we were really clear from the get-go like these are our roles and this is this is what we'll do and um that's been a really nice relationship and i love working with her so i think there is ways to make it work it's just you have to be really thoughtful before you enter that relationship and you also need to know when to call it yeah you know what this isn't working out yeah i agree it is very important and i feel like you have to listen to your gut too at the beginning like if something is feeling a little bit off at the beginning like really listen to that do you have any mantras that you've heard or that have stuck with you like for me sometimes when i'm in a rough moment i just continue to tell myself like there's no way out but through you know like is there anything that you tell yourself i i think i think you've said it really beautifully i don't i don't i don't necessarily have a monitor but i think that is my attitude like i think knowing that things are temporary is always helpful and uh i think when i'm going through something that's challenging i always i just try and take i know this sounds so cliche but i just try and take a minute to be like but there's so much good like don't feel bad for yourself that's not productive like no no one feels bad for you like this this sucks it'll you know move on right like keep things in perspective yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah but that always takes time like you always have to have a night of sleep like don't respond to things right away if you're feeling iffy about stuff you know like there's nothing a little bit of time can't heal you're like the person that writes back right away yeah yeah it's probably not a great thing about me i just like i take my business so personally so like yeah sometimes i i'm a little quick to pull the trigger i'll send an email and willie will be like not super professional yeah no i mean i i have to stop myself too because like i'll write back and it won't really make sense i won't read it over i like won't have proper punctuation and then i send it and i'm like oh my god i look like such an idiot but like i so now i've i've had to retrain myself to take some time to not just write back like that do you have any mentors or like life coaches or anyone that that helps you work through any of this stuff no that sounds so nice do you have a mentor i don't have a mentor but i actually just hired a business coach yes because i i feel like a little bit scattered like kind of how i'm sure you feel you are wearing so many different hats and there's not like a ton of strategy it just feels like i'm there's a lot of incoming but i'm not like setting goals or checking up on things i'm hiring someone to like help me pay attention to all those things that's great yeah i'll let you know let me know that sounds amazing yeah i yeah i'm the same way like i i kind of lose sight of that sometimes and i have to kind of reel things in and like look at the bigger picture um i do love numbers though you do not like in a math way like in a yeah you're talking about like a consumer like i'll get reports that are like thick and i will read through those i think it's so interesting so fascinating and then you'll design based off of those numbers right i think at the end of the day like i love my job i want to be creative and do stuff and like i i love creating things that i think are really beautiful but i i think like a customer tells you what they want they brought a lot of something i'm like okay they liked that so we should do that again like it's just stuff like that to kind of like guide you um yeah i love looking at like selling history and stuff it's just an analytics yeah what are you most excited about right now like in your business right now um i'm really excited about beauty it was it's it's honestly it's like two and a half years of work and it was a weird way to launch but it's been really fun um we have a bunch of new products coming out so um yeah i mean i launched like a really small collection and i yeah tell me yeah so i did that on purpose again like i just said like i love to get feedback and i designed i designed a collection for myself i designed the type of things that i like i like more natural makeup i like things um that are easily applied most of my makeup goes on with my hands like i was just like this is what i want and i wanted to check all the things i was like i want i want to feel good about the products i want to do like clean formulas and ethically source i want all the packaging to be recyclable or you know um eco-friendly so i i designed into that but i did it in a small way because like people love to give you their opinion so yeah right away they were like you know like this don't like this wish you had this and so like i have like a running list of requests and like always like message them back like okay but like what color are you talking about do you like this and they're like oh yes cool i'll submit that for you i think it's just so interesting like i think if you take that feedback and and grow with it it's really helpful as opposed to like launching a huge line and going in blind like you want to learn about the customer and her needs and um so yeah so we launched pretty small and we're about to roll out some more products but just like continuing to grow amazing and is is it just direct to consumer like on laurenconrad.com or yeah is the plan just to keep it straight direct to consumer no i think we obviously want to grow on that i just wanted to do it this way you know initially to to have just like a really close relationship with that customer what is what is your beauty philosophy i think i think you shouldn't take you shouldn't take makeup too seriously it's makeup to be fun like i love to play with makeup i think on an average day of like 10 minutes to get ready so i don't i don't do a ton of experimenting during the day but like when you know when we were doing like girls nights or going out like i love to like have fun and like do a you know a bold lip or like experiment with eyes i am i don't know makeup should be fun it should be like clothes it's fun and then sometimes like a little bit of a statement yeah yeah are you a beauty junkie or do you like stick to basics like are you one of those people that wants to try everything or you have your faves i have favorites for sure um i'm a really loyal so like if i find a product i will use it until it's discontinued like i oh my god can you tell me oh my can you tell me some of the things that you're like obsessed with um there was a i'm not gonna remember the name there was a chanel bronzer i that i absolutely loved i wore it for years discontinued it no i know um what else there was there was like my favorite eyeliner of all time this is this is really going back i did a partnership with mark which is like i remember that their eyeliner i was obsessed with they they stopped making it i bought them all off of ebay and i stuck them in my fridge and i used them all they were gone and i was so sad using the last one oh my god well now hopefully yours is as good well i took yeah i took it's it's different because there was like a pen or a brush and a little pot and like different but i took the things that i liked about that and applied it to development of this one so okay for an average day of quarantine like what's your process and if you can give any product college so on a day where i have no zoom calls i don't wear makeup i like my skin days off and i just like pile on product and i oh like if i'm uh working or doing something no um have you jillian dempsey did this like gold bar does it vibrate and it's like a cold bar so like when i put all my product on like i'll do it in the morning and then i'll like sit and be working and i literally sit here and like use this all over my rubber nice it just like plumps it all in yeah but gets all your product in um so yeah if i'm not like on zoom or anything i i might like put on a little mascara or like a little lip and cheek sometimes um but i don't i don't do much because i like to get my skin days off but then when i'm doing zoom calls it's just like a it's kind of it's like what i'm wearing right now right foundation which is just like foundation blush highlight it is it's foundation a little concealer here um and then a lip and cheek uh and eyeliner and mascara and eyebrow pencil brows your brows are so thick and nice they're real they're real thick they're they're odd they're thick and they're long but like i get like packed like patches yeah so it's like they're not really consistently they're they're kind of like old man brows it doesn't really yeah same with mine and i have to get mine done so badly um okay if you are on a deserted island what would be three beauty products that you would take with you okay sunscreen what kind uh what do i have right now i have a few right now i like beauty counter sunscreen it's a nice clean one um i have one on my counter right now that i was using first do you ever use their stuff yeah versus great i like their day dissolving balm i use that like oily balm oh i need to wash the face yeah it's really good it's really moisturizing so i would do obviously a sunscreen i would do um i'd probably do like a lip and cheek and a mascara yeah that's four but i'll let you have a lip and cheek is one oh right good call oh yeah yeah i use i use that on my cheeks it looks so good on you yeah i used it all just like i wanted like a you know like after you work out that like natural flush i was like i want that yes because every time after i work i mean i'm a little sweaty but i'm like that's what i want to look like all the time yes no i loved it it was really light

It sounds exactly the same just now she’s more well spoken IMO

[u/laurentheforce]

Who is the friend they talk about?!

[u/cduncs7]

She had vocal chord surgery I believe, which is why she might sound a bit different

[u/Barnitch]

Lauren’s eyebrows are disconcerting. Too high.

[u/keatonkesim]

Lol, Whitney’s voice has not changed!! She’s still in the Teen Vogue closet. Lauren moved on from that show and changed her damn number 🤣

[u/Fanciepantz]

I know this post is old but I just watched this and I need to know which mutual friend they are talking about that Whitney had a falling out with!!! Do you think it's Kelly Cutrone? Whitney said on another video that her and Kelly no longer talk and it's obvious she's very angry at Kelly for some reason.
