Kim Kardashian is sharing how she's come to peace with one of her insecurities.

In the cover story for Allure's August 2022 issue, the SKIMS founder, 41, revealed that she's gotten to a point where she's "at peace with not being perfect" and explained how her kids play a role in her being "okay" with things she may not love about herself.

"I hate my hands — they're wrinkly and gross," she admitted. "But I've lived life and I've changed so many diapers with these hands and I've snuggled my babies with these hands, so I'm okay with them."

Kardashian is mom to four kids: sons Saint, 6, and Psalm, 3, plus daughters North, 9, and Chicago, 4, who she shares with ex Kanye West.

"I drop the kids all off at school and then on my car ride home I listen to the music that I want to listen to and that's good for my mental [health]," said Kardashian.

"I have a minute alone without making phone calls and that's when I recharge," she added. "My workout is before drop off. I get up at 5:30 and my workout is 6 to 7, kids are up at 7:05 a.m."

Still, Kardashian, whose new skincare line, SKKN, is available now, said it's "really rare that I can get in my room and lock the door and say, 'I need 20 minutes.' "

"But the chaos is also the beauty," she continued. "And that's why I love my moments in the morning before everyone wakes up. I can go outside and work out and take a breather, an hour to myself, even if it's with a trainer or whatever. I still feel like it's by myself."

    A group of 22 states led by California and five cities are backing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's new tailpipe emissions rules after 25 Republican-led states sued the agency last week claiming the new regulations were unworkable and unlawful. The lawsuit filed Thursday in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia challenges the 2027-2032 model year EPA vehicle emissions rules that aim to cut fleetwide tailpipe emissions for cars and light trucks by nearly 50% over 2026 levels in 2032. California, New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania and other states sought to intervene by filing a motion in the lawsuit saying they could be harmed if the EPA did not require future reductions in harmful vehicle emissions.

    European Union antitrust regulators are asking rivals and customers whether proposed acquisition of Telecom Italia's (TIM) fixed-line access network by U.S. investment firm KKR could hamper Italy's wholesale market, people familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. Such regulatory worries could lead to a lengthy investigation of the deal and put pressure on KKR to offer significant remedies. KKR is buying TIM's domestic network for up to 22 billion euros ($23.5 billion) in a deal that would make the Italian telecoms group the first in a major European country to divest its landline grid.

  • A critical look at the rising costs of buying a new car

    According to data from Edmunds, the share of consumers who pay $1,000 monthly payments for new vehicles is above 17% for the fourth straight quarter. As inflation makes its way across almost every consumer category, it can be daunting to figure out just how much it actually costs to purchase a new vehicle. Edmunds Consumer Insights Analyst Joseph Yoon joins Wealth! to break down the best tips for American consumers looking to buy a new vehicle. Yoon puts the increased costs of buying a new car into perspective: "Think the first place they need to think about is the overall cost of the vehicle. Not only have the vehicles gotten way more expensive in the last five years almost to the tune of nearly $10,000, so has the interest rates. We talked about in the last segment about how interest rates for homes are over 7%. Same goes for new car loans as well which means that when you're taking out a loan for maybe $40,000 for a new car, that's almost $10,000 in interest alone. So when you take those things into consideration, it means that you have to pay so much more than you might have the last time around when you were going car shopping. So you have to be flexible."
