Yes, little ‘ol me is going to be on TV next week!
(insert ecstatic, yet completely terrified scream here!)
AUUGHH!
On Monday, December 17th, I’m going to be sharing a couple recipes from my blog on two local news programs. At 9:00, I’m going to be on The Daily Dish on the CW30.
And at 10:00, I’m going to be on Good Things Utah on ABC4.
I’m going to be sharing my Coconut Chia Seed Protein Ball recipe on the Daily Dish and a healthy Spinach and Artichoke Dip and homemade Pita Chips on Good Things Utah.
I’m so excited for the opportunity, but man, am I nervous! I’m a little OCD and I’ve definitely been overthinking the whole thing. Of course, I had to go shopping for a new outfit. Here’s what I finally came up with…
I wanted to look a little festive, so I decided to get the red jeans. So fun! I got the floral top from Ann Taylor outlet, the jeans from Nordstrom Rack (Kut from the Kloth) and I already had the little sweater shawl thing.
It is very intimidating to figure out what to wear on TV! I sympathize for the anchors and hosts who are on the news every day! I love shopping, but it would be hard to come up with something new and different (and flattering!) every single day! Man!
*******************
I also want to mention that the Misto Sprayer company (owned by Lifetime Brands) sent me a new STAINLESS STEEL Misto sprayer to use on Good Things Utah (to make my homemade Pita Chips). They also sent me three more Misto sprayers! So nice!
Soooo, next week when I’m over the stress of planning for the TV thing, I’m going to coordinate a giveaway and give away two of these awesome Stainless Steel Mistos to some of you! So fun!
The Lifetime Brands company also sent me some BEAUTIFUL serving dishes made by Mikasa to display my food on.
I was so excited to receive this package and I can’t tell you how absolutely breathtakingly beautiful these dishes are! The rectangle platter is from the Modern White collection and the round platter and bowl are from the Cyclone White collection. They are just so gorgeous!
Anyway, I hope all you Utah folk watch my television debut. I will post the segment on my blog afterward, so all you non-Utah folk can watch it too if you so desire!
Well, I have to go make lunch for two cute little kiddos and get my 4 year old off the preschool! I hope y’all have a wonderful day!
Yay! Go Mel! Can’t wait to see it!
Thanks Amber!!! I’m freaking out a little. 😉
Thanks for the love on my blog!! Hope you stay tuned– I need all the support I can get so I am going to start following your blog! You seem amazing and I know that I will be able to use you as a motivation.. Thanks again!!
I love your blog!! I think it’s great you’re being so candid with your thoughts and efforts about health and weight loss. I’m sure it will help many people. Healthy living is a lifelong commitment….we can all support and help each other! 😉
That’s exciting, congrats!
Thanks so much!
I want to hear how this all came about! It’s sooo awesome!!!
Thanks so much Amy! I wish the story was more glamorous, but I just sent a recipe to their station and they called me the next day and asked if I wanted to be on the show and demonstrate that recipe and another one on the Daily Dish. I was freaking out! I really didn’t think they would call me, but I’m glad they did (I think, lol!)
Mel! You will do wonderful. Super cute Christmasy outfit. Be confident. You’re AWESOME!
Thanks Holl! I wish you were coming with me! I’m so so scared, but I’m just going to pretend I’m not!! Auughh.
Congrats!!! That is so awesome, you will do great! I am excited to try those protein balls!
Thanks Kesa!! I love the protein balls. My kids love them too! I have another recipe on my blog for peanut butter chocolate chip protein balls too. They are so yummy!!
You are amazing. I can’t wait to see the segment. Please post soon…i am sure you did a fabulous job. Have a fabulous holiday season.
Thanks Kelly! I’m actually not doing the news segments until Monday. I will post the clips as soon as I can. I’m scared. I hope you’re having a wonderful holiday season too! 😉
This is so exciting for you! It will be a wonderful opportunity and I can’t wait to watch it when you post it on your blog!
Thanks Danielle! I’m nervous, but grateful!
Congratulations! I’m sure you’ll do great!!!
Thanks so much!! I hope everything goes smoothly!
How did your segment go?
I’m curious bc I’m a holistic nutritionist and they asked me to come on board to demo a couple of smoothies and juices in 3 days and I’m freaking out!!! Any tips?? Xoxo
Oh my gosh, I wish you all the best! It was actually very nerve wracking! I loved the experience and am so glad I did it, but it was scary. I would tell you to be very prepared. I met the hosts during the commercial break before I went live. I had no idea what questions they were going to ask me. I was very much on my own! My husband and one of my friends came with me and that helped a lot! I loved the moral support and they helped me to set up and clean up. I wish you all the best!
