Kristin Cavallari has had everyone’s attention since her days on Laguna Beach. There was just something about her. She was sassy, outspoken and a really loyal friend. Now that she’s no longer on reality TV, we don’t see a lot of her, and looking back, we don’t seem to know a whole lot about her either. We’re obsessed with all things Kristin, so here are 10 things you didn’t know about the former reality star:

She has no plans to vaccinate her children. “You know what, I’ve read too many books about autism,” she said on The Independents. “There is a pediatric group called Homestead or…Home First…They’ve never vaccinated any of their children, and they’ve never had one case of autism.”

5. Writer
She’s writing a lifestyle book Balancing on Heels, which is due out in spring 2016. “It’s basically an intimate look at my life,” she told E! News. “It’s going to be a lot of fashion and beauty. Because I’m such a big health nut, it’s also going to be health and fitness. And then a lot of recipes because I love to cook and a lot of mommy and wife stuff. So really just everything in my life…and I think it’s just a great way for my fans to connect with me.”
