00:00For a person that claims that they don't want any attention, if it were me and I wasn't in the public eye,
00:06I would create a private Instagram account and not be public and then you don't have to worry about it
00:10and then just don't read the news. That's what I would do.
00:16Virtual Reality
00:17Christina Haack, I am so excited to be talking to you. Hi.
00:22How are you?
00:22Good. How are you doing?
00:23I mean, you must be very excited and feeling extra bubbly right now.
00:26Yes. I have my beautiful champagne here, clay cachet.
00:28Clay cachet, ou very français.
00:31Wait, and tell me what that means in English.
00:33So I love hidden meanings and this one means the hidden key.
00:37So it's all about we all have the ability to manifest our own destiny and finding the hidden key within.
00:44Oh, I like this. Okay, how has our hidden key journey been going right now?
00:49Really good. So I always do a vision board at the beginning of the year.
00:53I've never done one.
00:54Oh, yes, I do.
00:55They really work.
00:56And on my vision board was champagne and having my own champagne line and a champagne house and going to France.
01:02And I'd never been.
01:04So that was my 2024 goal.
01:06And it came to fruition in 2025.
01:08So this was on the vision board and the vision board is coming true.
01:11And how was because, I mean, you are no stranger.
01:13Of course, we've seen you like for decades, you know, making houses go from the ground up, taking projects like that, making it work.
01:19But this is a completely new ballgame.
01:21Was there a lot of learning curves for you?
01:23Yes, this is a completely new ballgame.
01:25It's actually my only product that I've developed from conception.
01:29So I have a very good team behind me.
01:31This was not a private label.
01:32I handpicked the grapes.
01:34I picked the sugar level, the dosage, obviously the name, the bottling, the format, the black bottle.
01:42So, yes.
01:43I love.
01:44Oh, my.
01:44What else is on the vision board?
01:46Oh, geez.
01:47What else is on that vision board?
01:49I would love to sell my house in Tennessee and get a house in wine country.
01:55Oh.
01:55And now what?
01:56A little closer to home.
01:58I'm going to start my own vineyard.
02:00Ooh, your own vineyard.
02:01I really want an Emmy eventually.
02:03Have you ever had an Emmy?
02:05Have I ever had one?
02:05Yeah.
02:06I'm in sneakers.
02:07No.
02:07Well, this doesn't mean we don't want to come.
02:08I really want an Emmy.
02:10That's a big vision goal.
02:11That is a big vision goal.
02:12And I feel, I mean, you have been, I feel like, always reinventing new ways to be on
02:16TV that I feel you could really make that happen.
02:18Okay.
02:18Let's hope.
02:192026 goal.
02:20Because you guys are filming the flip off right now, right?
02:21Yes.
02:21Oh, my God.
02:23Okay.
02:232026 Emmys.
02:24How is this season going?
02:25We only did one shoot day.
02:26Okay.
02:27But so far, so good.
02:28It was super fun.
02:28Well, I'm assuming the first episode is probably easier for you than the first episode of last
02:32season.
02:32Yeah.
02:33You're very right.
02:34It was much easier.
02:35Good point.
02:36I never even thought about that.
02:37Right?
02:37Yeah.
02:37It was amazing.
02:38And I know we've been going back and forth in the press a little bit.
02:43How has that been this week for you with your ex?
02:47I don't know.
02:48I don't know.
02:49How's he doing?
02:49Is that your question?
02:50Yeah.
02:50How are you doing with the noise of that?
02:53Oh, I just ignore it.
02:55Is it just ignoring now?
02:55Yeah.
02:56I don't even care.
02:57Because I feel like he doesn't really let you...
03:00Because you're in the public eye, so people are going to ask you questions.
03:02Of course.
03:03And then you're going to give truthful answers because that's like, you know, why else would
03:06you do?
03:07Also, I don't lie.
03:08Yeah.
03:09And like, it kind of seems like he never is content with you telling your truth.
03:14Well, also for a person that claims that they don't want any attention, if it were me
03:19and I wasn't in the public eye, I would create a private Instagram account and not be public
03:24and then you don't have to worry about it and then just don't read the news.
03:27That's what I would do.
03:28And also, it is the kind of thing, too, where I'm like, if we're not in high school, why
03:31are we using inspirational quotes to clap?
03:34You know what I'm saying?
03:35I agree.
03:36How do you think of that?
03:37I don't mean...
03:37That's just not very...
03:39For someone that claims to be so masculine, maybe that's not so masculine.
03:43Because that's what I was like...
03:44Because that's like...
03:45I don't know if you ever did...
03:46Remember like away messages?
03:47I was like, are we on AOL?
03:51I agree.
03:52I agree.
03:53Hence why that just is not a good fit.
03:56Hence why you need champagne.
03:57Yeah.
03:57He has lots of champagne.
03:58But you're excited with a new boy.
03:59Yes.
04:00He's very nice.
04:00You know, we talk about opposites and yeah.
04:03I did like you were saying this and I think that is a good practice.
04:05You kind of have to go...
04:08You have to like do something then you get the flip side of it.
04:10Do you feel that is like kind of a through line and a real truth in the world?
04:14Yes, absolutely.
04:15I feel like also when we kind of hit bottom and, you know, everything's negative and you
04:22feel like crap, basically everything else on the other side of it feels really good.
04:28Even just calm feels good.
04:29Peace feels so good.
04:30Maybe I wouldn't have appreciated calmness, peace, just being able to relax if I didn't
04:36have so much anxiety before.
04:38Isn't there...
04:38There is such a beauty in the quiet that you used to think quiet is boring, but you're
04:41like, oh, quiet just means everything's okay.
04:43Yes.
04:43You're absolutely right.
04:44I did used to think that chaos was normal.
04:46I don't think that anymore.
04:47How have you been able in your life to welcome that in and find the quiet amidst chaos?
04:54Honestly, I think it took like really not wanting to have anxiety anymore and really
05:00not wanting to have those feelings and really just wanting it so bad that like it was just
05:05like, oh, I was just like super focused on it.
05:07And I was always like thinking about the future.
05:08In the future, I'm just gonna have peace.
05:09In the future, I'm gonna have this.
05:10But now that I'm actually in it, now I'm just like, okay, the present's nice and looking
05:14at the future for something.
05:15Oh, I love that.
05:15It's like just living more in the now instead of like, because I feel, I don't know if you
05:19were like this or sometimes I'm like, oh my God, what if that goes wrong in two years
05:21and that goes wrong in eight years?
05:22And you're like, how do I know?
05:24Yep.
05:24And then I feel like we make it a self-fulfilling prophecy and we're obsessing over it, kind
05:28of ends up coming true.
05:30Do you do any like practices, like a meditation, a yoga, something like that?
05:33Right now I do hot Pilates, which I love it.
05:36It's hot.
05:36You're like sweating.
05:37I think that's just like, for me, going for a long walk or doing yoga or Pilates, like
05:42that kind of like, you get out of your own head, right?
05:44Yeah.
05:44I like to, on walks, listen to podcasts or something motivational.
05:48I'm just always trying to stay positive.
05:49I love that.
05:50Right.
05:51And also, I mean, I'm within, and also I feel throwing yourself to work is a great way
05:54to stay busy too.
05:55Yeah.
05:55With champagne, with the flip-off.
05:57I love the show, because that show, when I saw it was coming, I was like, oh my God,
06:02it takes very strong people to do a show together while divorced.
06:07Yeah.
06:07Yeah.
06:08Yes.
06:08Correct.
06:09Yeah.
06:11And I mean, because we've interviewed all of you at different times together, and you
06:14all speak very highly of each other.
06:15Yeah.
06:16We have respect for each other.
06:18You know, there's like when you respect someone because you know they're working hard, that
06:22like respect brings so much good qualities.
06:24And I love too that even, I think it was in your interview with People this week, that
06:28Tarek was someone who told you he was like, leave for the last relationship, which
06:31is great that you guys also support each other in ways like that too.
06:33Absolutely.
06:34Have they tried the champagne?
06:35Oh yeah, they love it.
06:36They love it?
06:36Yeah, they do love it.
06:37Yeah.
06:37Oh.
06:37Yes.
06:38They've had it twice.
06:39Okay.
06:39We have to give them some more.
06:40You're like, or you're actually, you're like, you're going to have to go buy it.
06:42What happened is like, yes, at the beginning we had very limited bottles.
06:45So right now we have all the bottles coming.
06:47Before we only had literally like 12 bottles.
06:48So when we drank it, it was like, this is a golden bottle.
06:52Like, you know, it's very special.
06:54And what is, I mean, I feel like champagne, it's could be a morning, noon or night type
06:58of situation.
06:58What is your ideal way to sip it?
07:01Um, I, especially night for me.
07:03Yeah.
07:04This is not so much a mimosa champagne.
07:06Yes.
07:06You could put orange juice in it, but I'm, I'm like a nighttime dinner celebration girl.
07:10That's my thing.
07:11I get you.
07:11Cause it is like a higher quality champagne that you want.
07:13It's like best sipped alone.
07:15Yes.
07:15Yes.
07:15Yes.
07:16Definitely.
07:17And when you are sipping it, are you, cause I feel like we've seen you, it's funny.
07:21I've seen you in so many homes, but always doing like the heavy lifting of it and the,
07:25like the, the dirty work to make the home a home.
07:28When do you like having people over your house?
07:30Yes.
07:30You do.
07:31So you like to host and everything.
07:32Yeah.
07:32Yeah.
07:32I mean, mostly for holidays, but yeah, I mean, I'm more of like an intimate person.
07:36I like one-on-one dinner, small groups.
07:39Like, yes, I'll do parties for holidays and stuff, but I'm like, let's go to dinner with
07:42a girlfriend or a date night or with the kids.
07:44Like I'm not so much chaos.
07:46Has it ever happened to like, cause I feel like I would be so in my head if I was doing
07:50a renovation show and I'm like, Oh my God, people go over to my house and be like, why
07:52did I pick that?
07:53No, it's the obvious thing.
07:54Like people are like, don't want me to come over.
07:56Cause they're worried I'm going to be judging them, which I don't do that.
07:59Like I promise.
08:00If someone asks for my advice, I'll give it, but I'm not walking in like, Oh, like, no,
08:03that's not, I don't do that.
08:06No.
08:07But I'm sure in your head, you're like, well, maybe my boyfriend's house a little bit.
08:11Is there something we need to change her in his house?
08:13We already changed a couple of things.
08:14What did we change?
08:15Um, his, sorry, Chris, uh, his artwork.
08:18He just left the art from the previous owner up.
08:21And so it kind of looked like an old woman.
08:24Oh, okay.
08:26You're like, I'm not dating Glenn Close.
08:27So we took that down and we added some live plants, things like that.
08:31Oh, what is like, cause I do, what is the approach for someone dating someone and they
08:37don't like something in the house?
08:38Do you try to be, do you buy them new art?
08:40Like, wouldn't this be cute?
08:41Or do you just have to.
08:41I asked first.
08:42Okay.
08:42Like I said, is it okay?
08:45Is it okay for your places?
08:47Or like my girlfriend came over and she was like, okay, grandma.
08:49And I was like, okay, maybe it's time for that to go.
08:51Okay.
08:52That is really funny.
08:53Is there anything else on the vision board of redoing his house?
08:56Yeah.
08:56He has these baskets going up the stairs.
08:59Basket?
08:59What?
09:00Is this the Golden Girls?
09:02Baskets are going all up the wall.
09:05What?
09:05I did a video on Instagram before making fun of him.
09:07Oh, okay.
09:07I need to see.
09:08And what is in the basket?
09:09Nothing.
09:10They're decor.
09:11What?
09:12I'm like, if anyone put like snacks up there for halfway up the stairs.
09:15They're like rattan baskets.
09:18Oh my God.
09:18Poor Christ.
09:19I don't even work in design.
09:20I'm like, what's going on with that?
09:23Okay.
09:23So the baskets we're cleaning up.
09:25Yeah.
09:25And then it's going to be the perfect house for some champagne.
09:28Honestly, I feel you're missing an opportunity.
09:29You could make those ice baskets.
09:30I don't know.
09:32Champagne happily at the stairs.
09:33I don't think they hold ice.
09:34They're like rattan.
09:35Okay.
09:35But there are a lot of, I feel like, home trends that come and go.
09:38Is there anything that you've been seeing lately that you're like, why is everyone doing
09:40that?
09:42I'm not like trendy, right?
09:44Because trends come and go super fast.
09:47I kind of stick to the same color scheme.
09:50I don't, I like to just kind of stick with it, like for my own house.
09:53I'm happy doing a house for someone else that's super trendy.
09:56But that's, I feel like when you do something trendy, that's the first thing to leave.
09:59Right?
10:00Have you, even though you like to keep yours very classic, have you fallen trap to a trend
10:03that you're like, oh, this one actually might last forever?
10:05And you're like, oh.
10:06Well, when I first started house flipping, I was not a designer at the time.
10:11I was a house flipper.
10:12And I used to just like cover the whole house in travertine.
10:14So then I kind of had like travertine anxiety, but now travertine is coming back.
10:18Yeah.
10:18Okay.
10:18So you just knew.
10:19Yeah.
10:19So you know what?
10:20Maybe those houses are really cute again.
10:22I don't know.
10:22We need to go see if the owner's ever changed them.
10:23And also I do love, I mean, you were here, you got some great diamonds, some red bottoms
10:28on.
10:28So you have, you have the elegance and the luxury taste.
10:31Have you been treating yourself to any fun purchases lately?
10:32Because I just love to shop.
10:34Oh, I love to shop too.
10:35Obviously I really like shoes and bags, but with a bag, I will wait a few weeks because
10:40a bag's like a big purchase.
10:41All right.
10:41They don't mess around.
10:42I'll make sure if it's like, if I get over it, you know, I could wait a couple months,
10:45but if it's still on my mind, then I'll, I got a nice Dior bag recently in Paris.
10:50Why are you saying it like I got a nice Dior bag in Paris?
10:52Because I was like, okay, yes, it was a big, yes, it was a nice gift to myself.
10:56I love that.
10:57And also buying gifts for yourself is the most important thing to do.
11:00I agree.
11:00What type of bag was it?
11:02It's like cute little Lady Dior.
11:04Oh.
11:05It's like little charms on the strap.
11:07Is that to celebrate the new champagne or just like?
11:09This is my birthday gift to myself.
11:10When's your birthday?
11:11Yeah, July.
11:11Oh, fun.
11:12Okay, Leo?
11:13I'm a Cancer.
11:14Oh.
11:14What are you?
11:14I'm a Taurus.
11:15Oh, okay.
11:16Oh, Cancer, are you emotional?
11:17Yeah, sometimes.
11:18It can't be.
11:20And I don't know how much you can give away.
11:22Is this season of Flip Up, are you getting more guests to help you with everything along
11:25the way?
11:25So, probably judges again.
11:27Okay.
11:28Yes.
11:29I don't know yet.
11:31It's like there are always, you know, there's a production behind the scenes and I feel like
11:34there's like trickery that goes on on their side that I don't know about, which I like.
11:40Okay.
11:40That keeps me like on my toes.
11:41It keeps you entertained.
11:42Yeah.
11:42Could you be having any special help from some special people in your life?
11:45Maybe.
11:45Well, I don't know.
11:47Would you want him?
11:47Would you want his design advice?
11:48Not design.
11:50No.
11:52I mean, he's good at like a million things.
11:54Actually, I'm glad he's not good at design because then we're not like, you know, competing
11:57in that space.
11:58That is true.
11:59And then you could be like, hey, I just know best.
12:01And he's like, yeah, you do.
12:02He knows best in like way like other things and smarter than I am for sure.
12:07But design, yes.
12:08Stays in his light.
12:09And I know I have to let you know because we have another interviewer coming in to gab with
12:12you and chat with you.
12:12But what is the perfect, I know you said at night, but is this perfect for like dinner,
12:18dessert?
12:19And like what is your ideal way to sip this?
12:21Like what are you going to be eating and where?
12:23Honestly, I think champagne goes with everything.
12:26Truly.
12:26It goes with a nice steak dinner.
12:28It could go with fish.
12:30It goes with dessert.
12:31It goes with strawberries.
12:32It goes with caviar.
12:33It goes with crackers.
12:34It goes with charcuterie.
12:35I like it with anything, honestly.
12:37So I don't think there's any perfect situation, but I think that's the nice thing about champagne.
12:42There's so many quotes about it.
12:43Like I drink it when I'm in love and I drink it when I'm not.
12:46Like, you know, just open it on a Monday just because you want to.
12:49As you should.
12:50And because, I mean, you bought it back to celebrate yourself as you should.
12:52If you could pour a glass and raise a glass to yourself and toast you for something right now,
12:56what would you want to toast to yourself for?
12:58For sure.
12:58Season two of the flip off.
13:00Oh, my God.
13:01Well, cheers to that.
13:02And cheers to, I mean, next year, too.
13:03Is it on the board?
13:04It's on the board.
13:05Okay, then it's going to happen.
13:06Thank you so much for stopping by.
