Blake Lively has another project she is talking up and it's not a movie.
The blonde beauty - who is making headlines for her ugly lawsuit with It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni - is promoting her hair care line this week.
On Monday she talked with People about why it is so special as she avoided any comments on her scandal.
The Gossip Girl alum launched her haircare brand, Blake Brown, in July 2024 to create 'clean formulas with incredible performance at a mass price point with a fragrance that I would spray on my body.' The line sells at Target.
And Lively also shared what her plans are now that she has had a busy spring. 'Just some time off sounds so nice with my babies and my husband,' she said.
Blake is married to Ryan Reynolds and they have four children together: daughters James, Inez and Betty, and son Olin.
'I mean it's always busy, but when the kids are in school, I miss them,' said the looker.
'I'm that parent who just genuinely really loves spending time with my kids. My husband too, we're like, "I wonder if they can miss school today so we can spend time with them."
'We just really like them. Which is important. If you have so many kids, you have to like them. Because they will drive you insane if you don't [laughs],' she said.
Blake also addressed how she keeps an eye on her haircare line, her beverage lines, - Betty Buzz and Betty Booze - and her acting projects all at once.
'It's just about being really passionate. I think you have to really love them,' she shared.
'You have to be possessed by them. If you're just putting your name on something, I guess that's probably easy, but it wouldn't feel good to me.
'That's just not the person I am. Maybe if I was a different star sign that that would work, but Virgos, we can't. No, no, no. We love the details. We love the experience.
'So I think that the things that I'm involved in are things that I'm truly passionate about. I used to have a bracelet when I was a kid that said, "Do what you love, love what you do." And I think that's it, do what you love and love what you do.'
She talked to People about her three new hair and body mists and how this launch was not initially in her plans.
The Gossip Girl alum launched her haircare brand, Blake Brown, in July 2024 to create 'clean formulas with incredible performance at a mass price point with a fragrance that I would spray on my body'
'It was actually not something we intended to do. This was a response to our community going, "Please make fragrance." I was like, 'It's there, it's already in the product.' They were like, 'No, I want to be able to refresh after the gym or throughout the day,"' she said.
'People don't bring their leave-in with them or their dry shampoo, so they just wanted to have that hair and body mist, which I understand. I mean, I'm the person that will just spray dry shampoo in the air and walk through it just because it smells so good. You're probably not supposed to do that, but I just love the smell.
And she talked the scent.
'What was important to me is that our hair fragrances layer well. I always, always, always layer my fragrance. Every single day, when I put on perfume, I layer different fragrances so that even if it's a familiar fragrance, it still has a twist on it. It's like what they call umami in food.
'I also wanted our hair products to double as also your fragrance. While different hair lines have beautiful notes and scents, they were never something that lined up with what I would buy if I went to go buy perfume. It was always two very different experiences to smell.
'I also wanted to make sure that they look special and beautiful. I wanted them to look like a retro perfume bottle. So to have an elegance to them and sort of a glamour, but also be easy to throw in your bag.'
Lively shared that likes to use a lot of her product.
'I like products that are user-friendly that you can build and you can get your hands on. And I think that getting people comfortable with being able to really use a higher quantity of product, because I think that when it's something that people aren't as familiar with, people don't use mousse as much anymore. They don't use masks as much anymore,' she shared.
Blake also said the secret to her full hair is mousse.
'How I get volume is mousse. I mean, it's everything to me. And I use so much mousse, I use absurd amounts. It quadruples my hair and then some,' she noted.
'So I think the biggest thing is just, yeah, I wish I could be in people's showers and in their homes because I like that we have products that aren't everything that you see on the shelf because why create a company just to create another company? If they exist out there and someone else is doing well, I have no reason to do it.
'I'm in a few different professions, and even within my professions, there's different facets of my profession. There's the creative department, there's the business part. But always listening to your community and responding is the most important thing, because it takes you on paths that you didn't always expect to go down, like this.'
And she added that she does well because of the people around her.
'I have a great team of people. So the people who work with Blake Brown or people who work with Betty Buzz and Betty Booze, love it. And everybody has a feeling of pride and ownership and passion. So I think that when you find your community or you find your people who believe in a common goal or a common pursuit, that's everything,' said the movie icon.
'There's so many entrepreneurs out there across so many spaces that I look to as role models and inspiration.'
Lively said there's an authenticity to all of them.
'I think that's where there's something consistent across them, it's different brands and different ages and different types, there's an authenticity, there's a passion, there's a fire,' said the New Yorker.
'And then I look at people who are just doing a lot and that's a different thing, and they're doing that really well. And sometimes I wish I was just that person who could just say, "I'm just going to put my name on it and then if it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't." And a lot of people have success that way.
'And then a lot of people have success the way where they're just living and breathing it every day. And those are the people that I tend to relate to most.'
