Erin Andrews and I Talk Beauty, Career and Dancing with The Stars in A Video Interview

When I found out I had the opportunity to interview hottie FOX News Sportscaster, Erin Andrews, I turned to you, my readers to find out what to ask. Truth is, I only wanted to find out about a Degree campaign she's currently participating in, but being the superstar that she is, you guys had a ton of questions! Through Facebook and mostly Twitter they came pouring in! Thanks for your help with this one! Here's a video interview where she talks her beauty must haves, career choice, Dancing with the Stars picks for this season and more.

5 Minutes with Dancing with the Stars Vixen, Cheryl Burke

Back in February I attended a Veet event in honor of their new High Precision Facial Wax  where they announced their new Spokesperson, Cheryl Burke.  The beauty girls and I sipped cocktails, checked out the new product and watched a private performance by Miss Burke.  It was like a sneak preview into the new season and I caught it all on camera just for you!  I got the scoop on her spray tan guru, past partners (including Rob Kardashian) and predictions for this season with new hottie William Levy. 1. How did your partnership with Veet come about and why does it work for you?

I am thrilled to represent a brand that understands the importance of looking and feeling beautiful in your skin and the freedom of long-lasting smoothness. As a professional dancer on television, these play a huge role in my daily life, so the synergy between me and Veet was natural and a perfect fit.

2.When not on camera, what are your beauty must haves?

My busy schedule doesn't leave much time, so my favorite products are ones with long lasting results. My go-to for hair removal is Veet In-Shower Gel Cream. It only takes a few minutes, but the results last up to twice as long as shaving. And of course, I always have a to have a fresh spray tan. I trust all my bronzing to JoJo McCarthy of Brown Buns in LA.

3. I'm a huge Dallas Cowboys fan and was super jealous when you partnered with Emmitt Smith for Dancing With the Stars in the third season. How was he as a partner?

Emmitt was one of my favorite partners. He really had the best work ethic and taught me so much about myself. He's easily one of the best guys I've ever met.

4. Last season, I was a huge fan of you and Rob Kardashian. What was your biggest challenge when being working with the reality star?

The biggest challenge was getting Rob to focus. But once we tackled that in the first week he really proved that he had talent and wanted to be there.

5. Your partner this season, William Levy is a hottie! Any predictions?

I predict that the women who watch our show are going to fall in love. He's nice and funny and determined. And not so hard on the eyes either!

 

Brooke Burke Dishes Her Guilty Pleasures

Last week around 3pm I was anxiously awaiting a call from Brooke Burke.  At 3:03 my phone rang and an apologetic Brooke immediately placed me on hold so she could quiet the kids.  The California based mother of four, model and co-host of Dancing with the Stars has landed herself yet another gig – a partnership with Suave, encouraging women to indulge in themselves without feeling guilty.  Hey, why not? You wear so many hats, what's your favorite and how do you do it all?

Family comes first always.  I love what I do.  I'm so blessed to host DWTS, love blogging and find Modern Mom very therapeutic, but all of that is the icing on the cake beyond my family.  I feel all of my jobs compliment each other so I can do it all.

Do you have any advice for young entrepreneurs?

Yes, set reasonable goals.  Write a bucket list of everything you want to accomplish.  I believe every woman should dream and have aspirations, but after writing your list start chipping away at them.

You always look stunning on DWTS.  What's your secret?

Less is more for me, but I love Cellceuticals, topical vitamin C's, a good gloss and mascara.

Have you always been into fitness?  What's the secret behind your beach body?

I do Pilates Plus, eat very healthy and believe in small, smart meals.  I've always been into fitness and have learned what works for my body and lifestyle.  It's all about taking out time for yourself, too.  As a mother, others come first, but you can't lose your sense of self.

How does that relate to your partnership with Suave?

That's why I was excited to partner with Suave.  Their campaign is all about "me time," which can be just ten minutes a day, even just enjoying your simple shower and making it luxurious with one of their body washes.  I make sure to take time out for myself to do things like work out.  It's all about being organized and making the time.

(You can visit the Suave Facebook page to enter their Smart Splurge Contest).

What's your guiltiest pleasure?

Cooking is my ultimate escape.  I love going to farmers markets and making salsas and sauces.  It's theraputic.  With four children and a family of six, the kitchen is my conference room.  I drink wine, red is my favorite, and light candles.
