If you’re a reality TV fan, we probably don’t need to tell you that the ninth season of Bravo TV’s “Summer House” premieres on February 12. We probably don’t even need to introduce you to fan-favorite actors Amanda Buttersbecause you’re probably as familiar (and obsessed) with her as we are. The 33-year-old has been on the show since season one, and our love for her has only grown with each episode. Since the very first season, lots of things have happened – including Batula’s televised marriage to Kyle Cook, her co-star. Each season has brought more drama and entertainment — but also plenty of growth, which is something we’ll see more of this time around.
“I’m a busy little bee,” Batula says of the upcoming season. “In the past, I was dealing with being down; I had been on my anti-depressants and (was) focused on my mental health. This summer it kicked in and I was able to start focusing on me.” Batula also promises that viewers will get a glimpse into the making of her swimwear line, which will launch in February 2025.
“I focused on something I couldn’t find myself — a cute swimsuit for people with larger natural breasts and a smaller (band).” Batula says they play with designs with hidden underwires so the swimsuits don’t necessarily look like bras. “It looks like the swimsuits everyone else is wearing, but they have more support.” Currently, there are three drops in a row, but Batula says they plan to wait for feedback from customers before planning anything further. But that’s not all you can expect – there will of course be plenty of drama. When it comes to the details, however, Batula’s lips are sealed – but not because she doesn’t want to share. “I have a hard time remembering what happens during the summer,” she says. “A lot of the stuff you’ll watch for the first time with me, and I’ll be like, ‘Oh my God, I remember that.'”
While we wait to witness all the juicy drama for ourselves, we asked Batula to share her five beauty and wellness must-haves—keep scrolling to check them out and shop them yourself.
