Did she say Rump?!?!!?

If you're doing a double or triple take thinking you spotted me on TV, I'm here to confirm the rumors, yes I was on national television. I had the pleasure of participating in a recent Kashi commercial for our Spring trial event around our Mt. Medley Granola, which I must add is my fav!! And I'm not just saying that either...trust me they did not pay me the big bucks to do the commercial so all comments are true and from the heart.
Anyways, we filmed back in February in Malibu just across the street from Pepperdine University to be specific. It was a gorgeous park setting that overlooks the Pacific. Filming started bright and early at 6am and we didn't wrap up until the sun was going down around 6pm; talk about a physical and mentally exhausting day. The trampoline thing was super fun and I got the hang of it pretty quickly. It was a crazy work out though...both cardio and muscular. I was sooooo sore the next day in my abs and legs I could barley get out of bed!
The experience overall was pretty surreal since it was a complete 180 from a normal day for me. I guess the fact that it was so close to an outer body experience helped me stay calm and actually be able to talk to the camera even though there were about 20 people starring at me at any given time
See lots of random people not to mention the other 10 behind the camera..eek!!!

and another 7 people in a tent a few feet away critiquing every move and line I said (no pressure...really!).
Even though they're critiquing me at least they were super nice about it. These are the Amazon ladies...or you can call them the ladies from our creative ad agency called, Amazon.

All I have to say is that I earned my stay at the botique hotel in Santa Monica...and I am not the least bit guilty about the room service I ordered either :) I have a few more pics to share and the actual video clip (in case you haven't spotted me yet). No random people have recognized me in public yet, so I think I'm safe at this point...but thanks to all the emails, phone calls and texts with the positive feedback. Here's to getting off your rump, and seven whole grains on a mission!

Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, don't be nervous...ready go!

This is me with the director, Brendan Malloy, aka my coach for the day. Super cool guy. He and his brother do lots of surfing films/documentaries and music videos...and Kashi commercials!?!?!


My lines!!!! If I was in America's Next Top Model, Jay would not have approved b/c they had to bring cue cards out for me. Whatever....I do customer marketing...this commercial gig is just on the side :)

All smiles because I'm getting a nice break

And ladies and gentleman....without further a do, the the actual spotl:
