Reality of the Rose

What does it take to be a professional model? Today we find out when I interview my friend Kelli, who was a professional model for 20 years! How did she get her start? Where may you have seen her face? How did she climb the modeling ladder? How did she handle the pressures of competition and body expectations? What type of modeling did she prefer? Kelli's reveals so much behind the scenes of her career and it is so fascinating! I loved this interview so much and think that you will feel the same, so join us won't you?

The last night of our beloved Joan as the Golden Bachelorette. She was a fantastic choice as our first and I wish her all the best. I recap the final moments and what led her to choose Chock. I hope that she has found the one, and even if it doesn't work out, I hope it gave her a new lease on life!

On this week's What's it Like to..., I talk with Jessica Joles who is a nurse practitioner who now is also an injection specialist. Have you ever wondered about Botox or fillers but have been scared to try and would just like to learn more? Have you ever considered getting into the career path of being an injection specialist? On today's episode Jessica and I discuss pros, cons, costs, risks, rewards, the science, and pretty much anything else you may be wondering about this often taboo topic.

This week’s short episode is a recap of the Men Tell All with a little tangent introduction about my appreciation and love of live theater.  So join me won’t you?!

On today’s “What’s it like to” segment, we get a chance to see the world through the eyes of a pre-teen.  Allie joins me to interview Calli, a sixth grader from Crandon, WI, who has the ability to entertain all ages.  On this episode you’ll learn how we know Calli, her take on math, science, school lunch and what she wishes they would teach in school.  We get to hear about dress up week at school, why she loves river rafting, why she hates river rafting, her career goals, her ability to crack Tim’s shell, what charity she would give $1000 to and so much more.  We have so much fun with some very unexpected answers from Calli and she makes us laugh a lot! So join us won’t you as we get to know Callie and find out “What’s it like to be a 6th grader”

This week I recap the Golden Bachelorette and Joan’s Fantasy Suite week.  I also have a little tea that was spilled by Joan on the Off the Vine podcast with Kaitlyn Bristowe that you might find interesting.  What do I think of Pascal and his exit?  What about Chock and Guy?  I give you all my opinions and take on this “conversational cabana”(as Joan refers to it as) episode and hope that you will join me.

Welcome to my new segment, “What’s it like to…”  My intention for this new sidebar of Bachelor recaps, is to dive into the lives of others, mainly women, and maybe learn something we didn’t know before.  I plan to begin with interviewing women about their jobs and careers.  Maybe it will inspire you, maybe it will fascinate you, or maybe it’ll just be fun to listen.  As I progress I may get into other topics such as unique life experiences, unique places to live, or anything else I can come up with.  But today I am starting with my daughter Allie.  We will learn “What’s it like to…work in PR in NYC.”  She will explain how she got interested in PR, how she got her job at MBooth, what her job entails, how to move up the ladder, earning potential and much more.  And if we are talking about Allie’s job, you know that we will be discussing Dawn Powerwash, the most important cleaning product in any kitchen (shameless plug).  So join me won’t you as we learn what’s it like to…

This week we recap episode 5 of Joan’s Golden Bachelorette season.  This is the week before hometowns so three men go home to leave us with 4..  The men are cute as can be, as usual, but tune in to find out how I feel about the way Joan’s connections are progressing.  Also, as I try to do a Pascal accent, I end up performing part of the recap in the only accent that I actually know.  I’m a dork but at least I know it!  Join me won’t you?

This week I recap episodes 3 & 4 of Joan’s Golden season.  I talk about all things Golden men…Charles’s adorableness, Pascal’s limitations, Charle’s adorableness, Chock’s “surprise”, Jonathan’s striptease, kickball, and so much more.  This season continues to entertain and continues to leave me wanting more.  So join me won’t you as we recap Golden Bachelorette!
