Kathy Hilton’s Self-Care: A Reality Star’s Reluctant Rituals

Ah, the irony of self-care in a world where even the most mundane tasks feel like a high-stakes competition. Kathy Hilton, the reality television doyenne and a woman with a lineage as glittery as her diamond-encrusted jewelry, has boldly declared her disdain for a rather popular self-care activity: manicures. Yes, you heard that right. In an exclusive tête-à-tête with PEOPLE, Hilton revealed that rather than indulging in the soothing strokes of nail polish, she finds herself in a mental wrestling match—juggling thoughts and bumping into acquaintances. How utterly relatable! Who knew a simple manicure could morph into an impromptu social engagement? I can almost hear the echoes of ancient Roman philosophers lamenting the distractions of daily life, as if they were grappling with the same existential dread over a simple pedicure.
But fear not! While manicures may not be her cup of chamomile tea, Kathy has found solace in other pursuits. Enter the under-eye patches, a self-care phenomenon that has gripped the Hilton household. Not only does Kathy sport these fashionable eye accessories at home, but she has also inspired her daughter, Paris, to adopt this “lazy” practice. The hilarity of Kathy’s initial judgment—calling Paris “lazy” for sporting sunglasses over her eye patches—is the kind of mother-daughter banter that could fuel a sitcom. Perhaps Shakespeare was onto something when he penned, “All the world’s a stage,” as this family drama unfolds in real-time.
In her quest for comfort, Kathy indulges in nostalgic television—think “Friends” reruns and “The White Lotus,” a departure from the classic sitcoms of yore that seasoned viewers might argue lack the depth of, say, a Shakespearean tragedy. And when it comes to comfort food, her palate leans towards the classics: pasta, mashed potatoes, and a side of Lawry’s Prime Rib. Why venture into culinary experimentation when you can savor the familiar?
In a world where wellness routines are often equated with kale smoothies and yoga retreats, Hilton’s candidness about her self-care preferences serves as a refreshing reminder that self-care can be as simple as indulging in a bowl of carbs while binge-watching a sitcom. After all, if one can find rejuvenation in the nostalgic embrace of old films and a hearty meal, perhaps the true essence of self-care lies not in elaborate rituals, but in the simplicity of personal joy.
So, here’s to Kathy Hilton—may we all find self-care that doesn’t require a social calendar, and may our under-eye patches forever remain our best-kept secret!
