Supplement guide
Health supplements have become BIG BUSINESS lately. Just take a stroll down any pharmacy or grocery store drug aisle and you’ll get bombarded with pills and potions promising everything from youth to weight loss. Wading through the plethora of options can be daunting.
Adventures in Reality TV; Grand Theft Auto
Sitting there, waiting for my turn, it was as if I’d been transported back to my 4th grade principal’s office…
honey, you’ll never believe what happened at work today…adventures in reality tv
I was mixing on yet another show about young ditsy girls trying to make it in the fashion biz and it was the beginning of a regular two-person scene. Two girls, 2 cameras, 2 lights, 2 mics, pretty simple.

Everyone was devastated. We thought all was lost and this woman would be left alone with her cat to waste away in the grip of her addiction.
And the winner is…

the reality of parenthood
First I was told that if I was to come on a show to direct, the fact that I was a parent now really ‘couldn’t get in the way’ of me doing my job. Then more recently a line producer told me that ‘he really tries to avoid hiring mothers because they just don’t stay focused on the job’.

EAT CLEAN: Inspiration for week 3.
Mother Nature isn’t dumb. Seriously, she’s not. Everything we need to survive and be healthy can be found in nature……or on the OUTSKIRTS of the grocery store. Here’s what I mean…

Photo Essay: Exploring the world on your day off
I made a promise to myself that in all the places I get sent for work, I try to devote one day off to wandering the area and taking photos. Here are some of my favorite memories from my photo days around the world.
From Tiny To Nick
The most interesting thing to me is that he changed his life while working in reality tv. He now hovers at a healthy weight of around 200lbs…a far cry from the 365lbs that he once reached at his heaviest.
across the pond…
the only way I could feasibly stay in the UK was to prove that I was a “Highly Skilled Migrant” and the only thing I am highly skilled in, is producing TV
If you don’t have your health, then what DO you have?
We’re all busy. There’s not a person I know who isn’t. We lead fast paced lives and work INSANE hours. However, this is no excuse to let your health fall by the wayside. If you don’t have your health, then what DO you have? I’m talking longevity here people.
If you [...]

And its also amazing when they write us or post on our website that we changed their life for the better….OPRAH anyone?
Baja Fresh?
If Baja Fresh had existed in the year 1912, it could have saved the titanic. There’s enough salt in most of their burritos to melt an iceberg.
You guys…I am totally SHOCKED at the amount of sodium in most of the ingredients in Baja Fresh. If the food is really fresh, then why do [...]
Why it’s all good
I was 22 with no noteworthy college education, and I was being paid to travel and be a part of TV shows. In the midst of this, I found out my girlfriend got pregnant. At the time I was very scared because I was still on a PA’s salary, and was very new on the RTV scene.
A Foot in the Door, Or, How I Became A Reality Producer Without Really Doing Much
I had been in LA for less than three months. I had no job, no car, and $300 to my name. I needed a job.
A hard working AC who stands her ground and stays a lady
Although I don’t expect the princess treatment on set, it would be a breath of fresh air if guys stopped farting loudly in front of their female co-workers. There’s not that many girls on set, so if they would just hold it until she walked away, a girl wouldn’t be desensitized. Let’s not cross over into the boys side. Let’s keep our lady ways!
She’s Crafty.
Stop snacking on junk. It’s the reason why you feel like junk. I know how lame most crafty tables can be. Mealy apples, a bag of cheezits and some red vines. Add a paper clip and it sounds like ingredients that Macgyver could have made a bomb out of.
