She said, “I’ve been on it for a long time, but hadn’t really seen much results. And I haven’t had massive results, but enough for people to notice, which is great. You lose five pounds, people are nicer to you.”

In the interview, the Housewife said she is worried about the beauty standards forced upon women. She said, “I don’t know why. It’s just the way the world works and that makes me sad for women. But happy that I’m down five.”
Heather, who herself works in the beauty industry and is a co-owner of Beauty Lab + Laser, made sure to let fans know that despite everything she still chooses to “give credit to all the medical intervention” that help women express themselves.
She said, “What we value at Beauty Lab, I value for my children, which is just that self-divination and informed consent. If you want to change your lips and it’ll change how you think of yourself and how you act in the world, then please spend a little bit of money and a little bit of time and set it and forget it and move on and make some change in the world.”
