“This line has just made my home so beautiful,” Hilton says. “I love all the pink, and I’m obsessed with all the new pans and the cute coffee mugs and the mini-fridges, which I put my skincare and face masks in.”
“The whole product line is just really amazing, and I’m just so proud of it,” continues the “Stars Are Blind” singer.

Highlighting one product, the “That’s Hot” teapot, Hilton says that she began using her iconic catchphrase years ago thanks to her sister,Nicky Hilton.
“My sister was actually the first one who said it, and then I was like, ‘Oh, I like that,’ and I just started saying it all the time,” she says. “But it’s something that we’ve been saying since we were little girls.”
“And then, when I was doingThe Simple Life, I was like, ‘I should just trademark this,’ and I trademarked it,” Hilton adds. “So that’s just been my phrase ever since.”
Her other iconic line, which foreshadowed her Walmart line, happened during aTheSimple Lifeepisode after Nicole Richie asked their hosts if they ever hangout at Walmart. “I’ve always heard that people hangout at Walmart!” said Richie.
“Why? What is Walmart?” asked Paris, who is then is met with crickets. “Like they sell wall stuff?”
