I don’t know who else is with me on this one — but I’ve always thought that the bloopers were the best part of videos / movies / TV shows / everything I’ve ever watched that involves real people + behind the scenes funniness.

Plus, if you don’t make your own videos very often (or ever) then you might not realize that for one little 4 minute video, there can be hours and sometimes even days’ worth of work and filming behind it! For the Nut Butter video I filmed with Sophie and our fab Enjet team a few weeks ago, we powered through filming in an hour or two because Sophie & I have a crazy connection where everything on and off camera seems to run pretttyyyy freakishly smoothly.

But still, that’s an hour or two of filming for a 3 minute and 42 second video! I imagine that some people think that took about 10 minutes to shoot- but nooo, no! Not the case.

And when you have a fabulous video editor (hi Tiff!) everything comes together so seamlessly that you almost forget about all of the funny things that happen behind the scenes while filming.

So, yesterday Tiff sent me this hysterical video that I had no choice but to title “Betches Love Nut Butter” because… wellll.. clearly, we do.

Watching the video also reminds me how lucky I am that I get to work with my close friends & make magic go down in the kitchen and connect on a really cool level with them– producing something that we can all be proud of. Sophie inspires me to no end.. She is a mama of two beautiful little boys, an amazing wife to her awesome hubby and somehow she finds the time to not only run a business (PHILOSOPHIE SUPERFOODS!) but to be there for me as a super close friend who is available absolutely always. And she reminds me to be my true self when I need to hear it most.

With that said… Check out this funny behind the scenes blooper reel from our nut butter video! Because betches loooove nut butta.

PS, if you haven’t subscribed to my YouTube channel yet, please do! I am having so much fun with it and want to keep bringing ya fun content!

Does anyone else have a friend they get to work with that inspires them both in and out of the blogging world?! Davida + Lee, I know you two do (each other!)– tell me!!!

Hello, hello my beautiful loves! I can’t tell you how good it feels to sit down & write a post this morning. It is now Thursday morning annddd I haven’t even been on my computer since Monday! For someone who normally spends a heck of a lot of time on the computer writing, emailing, social media-ing and editing writing/photos… that is one long ass time.

BUT the computer break hasn’t been for nothin’ — I have been doing some super fun stuff around here! On Tuesday morning I was on Larry King Now where I sat on a panel on orthorexia with two esteemed doctors & Larry himself. When I say that Larry is a MASTER at what he does… that is a huge, huge understatement. He has been in this business for well over 60 years (he’s 81!) and his familiarity with being on camera, reading the teleprompter, intrinsically knowing what questions to ask and how to engage his guests BLEW. MY. MIND. As an aspiring TV host of some sort, he seriously is a new idol of mine.

So that was freaking awesome & I will put the link to the show up the moment I have it! It will air in a couple of weeks.

Yesterday was extremely fun as well. I spent the day filming YouTube videos with BeGlammed – an on-demand beauty service where you can request hairstylists and makeup artists through an app on your iPhone! I adore working with the BeGlammed gals, and I even have a go-to makeup artist named Brittany who is also a Sactown girl in LA like me. We had a blast filming & can’t wait to share the beauty tutorials on our YouTube channels! And I spent the NIGHT having dinner with my BFFs and capturing it for the book.

I also still need to write & tell you all about my amazing experience at The Natural Products EXPO WEST a.k.a my version of Disneyland a.k.a Coachella Weekend Zero (right Brandin & Hayden?)

But first… What you’re here for:

Cashew Butter Green Dream Magic.

Also known as the most delicious, decadent, vanilla, CAKE-FLAVORED dreamy green superfood nut butter.

I’m serious about this. (If you want to skip right to the video, you officially have my permission to do so HERE.)

Sophie & I wanted to bring you guys something extra delicious & healthy for St. Paddy’s Day, since we know the holiday itself can be a bit of a beer & fried food fest. This is something yummy AND nutrient dense you can bring to a St. Paddy’s party, to work so you don’t get pinched, or to feed your kiddo’s while celebrating.

Also, filming this video with Sophie made me think of two things:

A) I want to film all videos with Sophie because I think we make a power team and she brings out the best in me and our love shines through on camera. And it’s fun to watch two people at once I think!

B) Filming makes me extremely happy & I want to do it as much as possible.

C) Making magic with your best friends can’t exactly be topped by ANYTHING.

^ See how much fun we were having?!?!?! Or at least me… LOL.

And without further ado, HERE is the video:

+ we are doing a fun GREEN DREAM super food powder giveaway for those who subscribe to the channel & comment telling us why they like the video!
