As OK! reported last October, the former makeup line owner has decided to trade life in Southern California to move into a historic Indiana mansion.

"We recently purchased a beautiful home on a bit of land in rural Indiana," she said at the time, "and the more time we spend out there we realize we feel more at home there than we do here in LA."
