My question is easy! I loved the sideways cross bracelet and the peace bracelet you wore on the hometown dates. I live in Charlotte. Please tell me you purchased them here! Emily, you are a super lady. I have to remind myself you are a mere 26. You have the knowledge and insight of someone twice your age. I hope everything works out wonderfully for you and little Ricki.

-Mickie on July 9th, 2012

Hi Emily, you are such an inspiration to many young girls because of your keen sense and style. My question for you is, what is the braid that you had in your hair on your date with Jef called on the episode of the final rose ceremony. Also, how do you do this type of braid?

-Hiral on July 9th, 2012

I love your body, what do you recommend to eat and what are your work out techniques? Also, how did you manage to stay so fit after having Ricki? I know a lot of mothers have trouble getting back in shape and I was just wondering what some of your tips are.

I’m also having a lot of trouble curling my hair with a curling iron, are there any types you recommend or maybe another technique to curl hair?

What brand of hair irons do you recommend?

Thank you :)

-Hiral on July 9th, 2012

HI EMILY! (: I hope you reply to this because I absolutely love your season on the Bachelorette!
YOU are drop dead gorgeous and you have such a big heart!

<3 My only question is : How do you stay so fit ?!

-Lexie on July 10th, 2012

I would really like to ask Emily how she could see her life with Jef because of the differences in religion. I’m just genuinely curious. I am under the impression that Emily is a southern Christian girl and Jef comes from a very strict Mormon background. I know the bible teaches about being of the same faith. But I am in the same situation. I’m in love with a guy that is a Jehovah’s witness and I, myself am a Protestant Christian and can never see eye to eye with my boyfriend when it comes to religion. I am actually really looking at Emily as an example in this situation. I don’t want religion to break my boyfriend and I up. What are your tips Emily?

-Kristen on July 10th, 2012

I am DYING to know about the three necklaces Emily wore at the rose ceremony in Curacao… where can I get them…LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them

-Sharon on July 10th, 2012

I love all of your lipsticks you wear. Especially the hot pink/fuchsia one. It’s so fun! What brand and color is your favorite?

-Whitney Parker on July 10th, 2012

where she gets her makeup organizer and what is her favorite lip gloss

-amy pugmire on July 10th, 2012

What products do you use on your hair? From shampoo/conditioner to everything as you style it. I have serious hair envy when I watch you!, lol!

-Beth on July 10th, 2012

emily you are flawless!!! most beautiful women ever! love you!
my question is, how do you get your teeth so white, do you use whitening treatment ? and what are some of your favorite online clothing stores? and lastly we know your a fan of shoes how many pairs do you own??

-stephanie on July 10th, 2012

What scent do you spritz to your wrists when you are:
1) just out shopping
2) out with your significant other
Thank you.

-Joseph on July 10th, 2012

This show is an embarassment to women everywhere. The show is completely ridiculous and scripted. The men are awful, and everyone including her, are on the show for the wrong reasons, and not love as stated. Not to mention that the show has run its course. It is beyond boring, and who cares!

-Christa on July 10th, 2012

How do you suggest creating an amazing wardrobe on a budget?

-byrnejessica on July 10th, 2012

What is your favourite lipstick?

-Nadia on July 10th, 2012

How do you stay so fit? Do you workout every day? What do you eat?

-Sarah on July 10th, 2012

YES Definitely how do you stay so skinny..? what does your diet consist of..?

-Lise on July 10th, 2012

Who is the rhinestone eagle necklace that emily wore on the July 9th episode by?

-gdeg169994@aol.com on July 10th, 2012

What nail polish and blush do you generally have on the show?

-Jenny on July 10th, 2012

I know this is not a fashion or style question, but I’m just curious..
Why doesn’t anyone ever eat on the show?

-avd on July 10th, 2012

Emily, how do you get those great curls.

-Bethany Benes on July 10th, 2012

what is your workout plan?

-Brooke on July 10th, 2012

I have a few questions to ask:
1.)what is your hair color?! I LOVE it!!
2.)what makeup do you wear?
3.)what type of braid did you have your hair in the date with Jef while you were in Curacao?

-Brooke on July 10th, 2012

I am desperately wanting to know where you got your make up organizer that’s in your bathroom and I would love to know what make up you use. Thanks so much. I wish you the best of luck.

-Gena on July 10th, 2012

What is the name of the designer of the long sequin skirt you wore with a tank top on Monday, Juy 9, 2012 show at the rose ceremony? It was absolutely beautiful. Your stylist is doing a fantastic job on your wardrobe. You look stunning in everything. Best selection I have seen in quite some time.

-Beverly on July 11th, 2012

I know you want to protect your child… But why not see if the guys meshed with her before the final two? You said in Brad’s season that your daughter pretty much has the final say. Oh yeah, and you’re amazing! :)

-Casi from NC on July 11th, 2012

I just knew that Chris was the one for you, so what was it about him that made you decide to send him home?

-Rhonda Inman on July 11th, 2012

Do you think the Bachelor or Bachlorette is a scam show?

-Kathy Ippolito on July 11th, 2012

since the start of the season, you were making sure you wouldn’t make the wrong decision when it comes to the final 2 guys(Jeff and Arie)…

1) Think of all your dates together… would you take anything back from those moments with them?

2)Who was the hardest man that you had to send home throughout the whole season? And after you sent home that guy, how were you feeling?

-Katerina on July 11th, 2012

What style of clothing do you prefer on your men?
Casual, business, suits………

-Lynn C on July 11th, 2012

Can In Style publish an article with JUST the styles from this season? (i.e. designer names, make-up colors, and where to buy them.) I loved so many of your colorful dresses, swimsuit cover-ups, beach dresses, eye make-up, and hairstyles – this season more than any other. I even looked online to find the blue dress you wore on Sean’s hometown date, trying to find out where to get it, but then found that it’s unavailable. Would love to know how to get so many things from this season!

-Leslie D. on July 11th, 2012

I don’t understand why you let Sean go? He was the perfect guy. I know Arie is tall dark and handsome, but he travels for his job and I thought you were looking for a family man and a father that could always be there for Ricki. Good kissers and touching is not what makes a happy marriage. And for Jef well he defintely does not strike me as a family man. To young, and not attractive or goodlooking. Love you Emily but you let the wrong guy go. Sean was the perfect one for you and Ricki.

-Jeanni Miller on July 11th, 2012

I wanna know why you let Sean go? He was a great man, and had all morals and values you look ofr in a man. I know that all three of them are willing step up to the plate and be Ricki’s father. But I believe the relationship with Sean would had gone a lot farther. And not be like all the other couples that have failed trying to do this show. I’m giving props to Sean for still being a gentle sweet caring man after you let him go.

-Amber H on July 11th, 2012

What is your favorite thing to do with Ricki?

-Caroline on July 11th, 2012

I know RIcki is such a blessing in your life. If you hadn’t had Ricki, where do you think you would be today?

-Caroline H on July 11th, 2012

Emily: I am so disapointed that you let Sean go! He was such a great guy. I think he would have been the best father and husband. Please don’t choose someone purely on physical attraction!

-Kim on July 11th, 2012

Emily Jef is the best fun and funny and he is the only one that has advised he wants babies yesterday like you want -owns his own business and very smart and cute and girl he loves you, sean was nice but i really didnt think he loved you as much as he said arie now very handsome but i think that will be short lived after you make love he will gone too much and realy wont be for ricki as a dad or Utah is beautiful you love it there

-lisa on July 11th, 2012

What were you think when you sent Sean home? He was the real deal and really wanted to be a dad to Ricki. This is one time I would like for you to change your mind, Like Jason did with Melissa which is hard to say.Because I thought that was wrong. But Emliy you are a smart woman but were blinded on this one….

Sean Lowe would have made you very happy

-Judy on July 11th, 2012

Which mascara do you use?
Also, what are your go to lip colors?

-Sierra on July 11th, 2012

If kissing had been “off limits” during the show how might picking the guys have gone differently? Would Doug have made it to the final two instead of Arie?

-Jeana on July 11th, 2012

Emily you have an amazing post child body. I too have a child (2years old). I struggle to look as I did prior to having my son through consistent exercise and improving my diet. My questions for you are what do you believe keeps you looking the way you do…is it that you are under 30 years old, work out a lot or have amazing nutrition or can you say that genetics play a part? Lastly, I was wondering if you are naturally curvy on top or did you seek augmentation ( I think everyone is wondering)? I would love to know the surgeon if you have gotten augmentation. I want to get it when I am done having kids and am desperate to find an amazing surgeon so if yes, why not refer :) ?

-Tammy on July 11th, 2012

Hi Emily,

You are so beautiful, and Ricky too. I wanto know all of your makeup that you wear, and what products you use for your hair it always is so beautiful,and also where do you shop, your clothes are so pretty. I love all your casual wear.
How you stay in shape and what your diet consists of?
I have watched this show from the start I think in the year it started with the Batchelor and been watching it all these years and it is my favorite show. Willl you do your own makeup line ever or clothes line?
Tell Chris to have this show come on year round it is my favorite show.

-Barb Geneau on July 11th, 2012

When you got your teeth capped, why didn’t you get some that fit in your mouth?

-Rosemary Stellino on July 11th, 2012

What nail polish do you use?

-Ansley on July 11th, 2012

Hey Emily,

You always have the cutest jean shorts and I have been looking for a pair myself and cannot find any good ones. Where do you get yours from? Also your hair always looks so healthy, what shampoo and conditioner do you use and what blow dryer and straighter do you use?

-carrie hodge on July 12th, 2012

Last episode in Curacao, the guys were getting a little sunburn but you still had your flawless fair skin complexion. What do you do to keep your skin looking beautiful and healthy even in the sun?

What are some of your favorite clothing brands and stores you shop at for clothes?

I love watching your season. I hope you and Ricki get your happy ending!

-internetcaptions on July 12th, 2012

What is the color of the white nail polish that you wear? Are your nails acrylic, gel, or natural?

-Jessica on July 12th, 2012

Hi Emily!
You’re style is awesome, so I was just wondering, what is your favorite store to shop in?
Thank you so much, and the best of luck to you! :)
Megan

-Megan on July 12th, 2012

Do you have a favorite quote or saying or motto you live by about fashion?

-jenny1 on July 12th, 2012

I absolutely LOVE your hair! I love the way you style it and keep it so fresh and shiny (I’m seriously considering becoming a Wen girl thanks to you)! I also absolutely LOVE the color of your hair. What is your natural hair color and how have you achieved such a pretty blonde? I WANT IT!

-Renee on July 12th, 2012

Hugs to you Emily, you were outstanding as a role model and mother this season. I cannot even imagine how hard it is staying that open but needing to choose the best match for your life. We all know how attractive chemistry can be, I just hope you did choose the man who will keep you smiling forever, because laughter and love (and veggies of course!) are the most important beauty tip. May I just say that Jeff is tthe most stunning person inside and out, with depth that would make life an adventure always xxx

-Marnie on July 13th, 2012

Can you tell us how you do your eye makeup? Your eyes always look so perfect (subtle, yet dramatic all at the same time), and I’d love to know what eyeliner/eye shadow/mascara you use and how you apply them! Thanks so much!

-Leighna on July 13th, 2012

How do you do your hair? Your curls always look incredible! I’ve heard that you use giant velcro rollers…can you tell us a little bit more about these, where you get them, what you do with them, and what other hairspray/products you use to keep your hairstyle looking so great everyday? Thank you!

-Anita on July 14th, 2012

1. It just hit me! You look like the supermodel Niki Taylor!
2. I love all your clothes from this season, but do you regret wearing that Faux ponytail twice?
3. Do you ever do a red lip, or is that not your style?

-BC on July 15th, 2012

Emily, where did you get that adorable typewriter key ring that you wore on your date with Chris? It was so unique!

-Lee on July 15th, 2012

Will you just adopt me as your child? Even if I’m 19, you’re perfect and an incredible Mother.

-Kelsey A on July 16th, 2012

What do you do to keep your shape, especially after having had a child?
Could you walk us through an average day of putting on your makeup? Do you start with a primer/foundation etc. what brands?

-Kelly on July 16th, 2012

Do you work with a personal trainer or go to the gym? Can you give an example of what you eat breakfast, lunch and dinner? We are big fans of yours and we live in Charlotte, I had the pleasure to meet you at the Original Pancake House at South Park and you were truly down to earth. Thank you for setting such a great example for Charlotte, NC and as a single Mom.
