Jessica Simpson has a new beauty line called Beauty Mint. That’s not really important, except that promoting the line has given Jessica the opportunity to talk about sweatin’, fartin’ and glowin’. Basically, it’s just like any other day. A few weeks ago, Jessica talked to People Magazine about her pregnancy glow and how it’s really just sweat:
Pregnancy has been no inconvenience for Jessica Simpson so far. In fact, she loves it.
“Pregnancy was meant for me – it really was,” the Fashion Star mentor and Beauty Mint spokesperson tells PEOPLE. “I can’t wait to have more kids. I love being pregnant. I have such an incredible connection with myself and with my body that I’ve never had before.”
Simpson, 31, also says pregnancy has been a spiritual time, too.
“Just knowing that you’re creating a life is such a spiritual thing,” she says. “Everything is growing, but you’re making a life. It’s pretty cool.”
On the flipside, Simpson has discovered not all the perks of pregnancy are true either.
“People always say that pregnant women have a glow,” she says. “And I say it’s because you’re sweating to death. I think they just tell pregnant women they’re glowing to make them feel good about themselves, because everything makes them a little bit emotional.”
Contributing to the experience is having her fiancé Eric Johnson at her side every step of the way.
“When I’m tired, I make Eric rub me,” she says. “Eric is very, very supportive. We’re both extremely excited. He’s been to every doctor’s appointment with me. We just love it. We can’t believe we get to do this, and we get to do it together. We’re going to be a rock star family!”

LMAO at “When I’m tired, I make Eric rub me.” That just reminded me of my dog for whatever reason. He likes to have his ears rubbed and pulled. Whenever I rub his ears, it feels so good to him that he starts rubbing his head on me like a cat. Anyway… back to Jessica and her fart-soaked sweat. In a new interview with InStyle, Jessica talked about sweating again: “People always say that when you’re pregnant, you glow, but I say it’s because of all sweating you do!”
I’m not trying to say that women shouldn’t talk about these things. I sweat – I sweat a lot when I’m working out. My whole top half is just soaked in sweat. See? It’s fine to talk about. But whenever it’s Jessica and she’s talking about sweating and farting, I just feel like she’s giving her critics more ammo. I also think that she’s probably pretty gross in person.
By the way, the photos of Jessica in sweatpants – those are from her nephew’s birthday party. Everyone else looked nice in business-casual clothes, and Aunt Jessica turned up in sweatpants and Uggs. At some point, I think I’ve begun to admire her.

she’s pretty and I love watching her sing…something about it.
I feel her. Being pregnant sucks. Getting me out of pjs is like pulling teeth. I’m also pretty sweaty too. My poor husband gets all the blankets thrown on him at night. Oh well, it’s his fault anyways 😉
I love her. She isn’t wearing 6 inch high Louboutins, short dresses, and leaving with a full face of makeup, etc. She’s showing what most pregnant women (that I know, anyways, including myself) feel like.
amen sam girl… i could not find comfy shoes nvm 6 inch heels! i love jess, she just seems like a real woman and she seem to be herself rather than put on a show for every one.**bey cough bey**
i saw her this past weekend in NYC with eric and another couple. i almost walked right into her. the group had come out of a store on broadway and stopped trying to decide in what direction to go. i was walking quickly and had to come to an abrupt stop directly in front of her! i knew it was her immediately…she is lovely, truly. very pretty and feminine and VERY tiny. i towered over her and i’m not tall. i think her height (or lack of) is why she doesn’t photograph well, especially pregnant. she is not obese or enormous…just adorable! she had on her uggs, of course, and black leggings with a tight black spandex top with a fake fur. she dresses for comfort, obviously, and who could blame her!
She’ll will be a good mom :). I can relate to what Jessica is saying: I’m pregnant too and quickly realized that the “pregnancy glow” is really just grease. Damn, your skin get oily!
I’ll still say that I don’t understand being in sweats in public though–I’m perfectly comfortable wearing real clothes while pregnant.
She’s right! She’s just lucky she’s not due in August, like I was with my oldest. (Once that happens, you make sure it never happens again.)
I used to soak a beach towel in cold water, lay it over my body, and direct the fan on it. Great way to stay cool.
I was due in September with my first and it was uncomfortable. This time around I had an April baby. Although, I must say, winter clothes are much more forgiving on a post partum body!
I wish I would’ve known the wet towel + fan trick! both of my babies are summer babies (so much for learning my lesson!)
This was one of the hottest summers of my life and I had my baby in August!
If i ever decide on another and actually get to plan it (hehe) I hope for a spring baby!
@isa, already planning for a 3rd? LOL
Not really planning, per say. But we’ve discussed a third and wondering if we needed to do something permanent! I go back and forth as to whether or not we’ll have another. Sometimes I’m so sure we won’t then other times I can’t imagine my boy being our last! It’s a hard decision, especially since we’ve never planned a baby…they just kind of happened for us.
If we do have a third, I know that he or she will be our last. 3 is our limit! Are you planning any more?
I must be the worst girl on the planet. I just dgaf. I go out after I’ve just woken up, no make up and in my pj’s. I just want to be comfortable in life. Plus I don’t want a guy freaked out from me “washing my face off” lol and they see a completely different person.
When I do wear make up it’s just eyeliner and mascara. Sometimes eyeshadow and I never really dress up. Jeans and shirt for me. I hardly wear shoes either. LoL
I don’t really like Jessica Simpson, but I must say compared to most of hollywood she is quite refreshing and real seeming.
where does she mention sweating AND farting? did i miss something? looks like Jessica mentions farting 0 times and Kaiser mentions farting 4 times.
I cosign that! Here’s to keepin it real, Jessica! Could we just imagine for a second what Kim K would be like pregnant? Ugh…a second was too long!! The horror!
I love her. Its so nice to see a celeb show what a real pregnant woman feels like. Once I hit 6ish months with both my kids, you couldn’t get me out of pj pants. Nothing fit and the maternity pants were SO uncomfortable (that stupid band over my belly made me itch like crazy!). Go Jess, Get down with your badass sweaty farty self.
You may love Jessica but I LOVE your name, Mr. SFF! Mr. Stinky F Squared!
Haha I just got bored and picked it out one day. I’ve been lurking/sometimes posting for a long time lol
I rarely wear make-up, can’t walk in high heels and also like to be comfortable but I don’t think that’s what JSimp embodies and I don’t feel like giving her a pass because she is with child. This woman is just dirty: from barely brushing her teeth, to farting, to this…dear god, when will it stop?!
It’s one thing to be a slob at home but please make an effort when going outside. She can’t even hold her farts when in a business meeting! That’s just plain laziness, stupidity or ignorance and dirtyness and I will not applaud that. Either women need to be perfect or sloppy/messy? Where’s the inbetween? Just a regular woman who looks the part when going to work, is professional and clean and when home slips into something comfortable? There’s a time and place for behaviour but JSimp doesn’t seem to realize that. If I ever get pregnant, I hope somebody slaps me when I try to use my pregnancy as a reason to be dirty and generally not caring at all how I look. I’d like to maintain some self-respect. I wouldn’t like it either if my partner wouldn’t give a crap about his looks anymore and gets fat and smelly. If you don’t encourage eacht other to improve, where’s the excitement and fullfilment in a relationship? The minute you stop trying is the minute you don’t grow anymore as a couple.
If JSimp is supposed to present the modern day accomplished woman (unkempt dumb girl knocked up by a loser who doesn’t care to make money or have an extra education because his lady supports him to keep him around and when he dumps her gets money through the baby) than excuse me while I go punch myself repeatedly in the face until I’m unconcious.
Now HE is a damn gigolo…he is a concubine…
Tell IT, girl!
Exactly what I was thinking! I have never gone out in public in my pajamas! I wear make up and heels almost every day. I didn’t realize that doing so made me less of a “real woman” . There is a happy in between people! This happy in between is comprised of happy clean real women who wear real pants.
I wonder if she’s going to be to posh to push! I hate to be the one listening to her whinning in labour lol
I used to say I would never lose my need to always look “stylish” and never let myself go if I ever got pregnant. Was that a challenge! By the six month you get to the point of not giving a sh*t about your clothes and what people say and totally understand why other pregnant women didn’t either. I’m not saying that we should be dirty slobs but being all sexy and dolled up during pregnancy is
