Miranda Kerr was given the “second cover” for the April issue of InStyle, the first cover being Ciara. For some reason, Miranda was also given this cover without needing to really promote something immediately. I mean, the interview is clearly being done to promote her organic beauty line, Kora Organics, but she’s been promoting that for years all over the place. Why this very moment? I don’t know, it’s yet another baffling editorial choice. Another weird editorial choice? Miranda looks really pissed off at someone or something in all of these photos! She’s not someone with RBF either, she was really making some grumpy faces. Anyway, here are some highlights from her interview – it’s not only a promotion for Kora, it’s a sponcon testimonial for Snapchat, lol.

Her kids will have jobs & pay their own way: “I told Flynn that if he wants a car, he needs to start saving now,” Kerr says, explaining why her 8-year-old son (with her ex-husband, actor Orlando Bloom) was interested in setting up a lemonade stand. “He needs to learn the importance of working for himself because I had to do that.”

How she started Kora Organics: “I was talking to a friend in 2006 about how cool it would be to find a certified-organic skin-care range or even to create one. She said, ‘I know this organic chemist in Melbourne. Why don’t you talk to her?’ Things just steamrolled from there.” Well, sort of. It took three more years and endless prototypes to officially launch Kora, in part because Kerr was determined to meet Ecocert’s Cosmos standards, a strict set of eco-focused regulations on production and ingredients. “A lot of products out there claim to be all-natural but have only one organic ingredient. I didn’t want any of that greenwashing BS! It takes a lot of effort and money to get certified, but I thought, ‘If this is something I want for myself, why wouldn’t I offer it to everyone else?’?”

Living organically is a family thing: Evan Spiegel has become an avid user of her Noni Glow face oil and turmeric mask, Flynn shops the local farmers market near their home in L.A.

On her son Hart, with husband Evan: “We decided as a couple to keep him private for as long as possible. The only way we send photos of him to relatives on the other side of the world is through Snapchat because it’s such a safe way to communicate.”

What else she loves about Snapchat: “The filters are so much fun — the heart eyes are my favorite. The best part is you don’t have to wear any makeup because the lens does all the work for you.”

The Snapchat testimonial is so dumb and obvious, my God. It’s also hilarious to me because it feels like… Miranda cares more about her husband’s business than he does? Maybe I’m wrong. But when even Kardashian-Jenners are opting for Instagram Stories rather than Snap, that’s a bad sign. As for what she says about Flynn needing to make money at the age of 8 – yeah, I’m all for teaching kids the value of a dollar at a young age. Teach them how to have a work ethic, teach them that mommy and daddy aren’t going to give them everything, that they’re value in earning things for themselves. But also: Flynn’s stepfather is Evan Spiegel, a silver spoon frat-boy brat whose daddy would buy him everything he ever wanted. How will that balance out?
