You guys already read the post about my video shoot in New York City for Fitness Magazine and Crystal Light Pure Fitness, but I thought it’d be fun to show you some of the “behind the scenes” action, too!
My morning started bright and early with a visit from the hair and make-up artist at my hotel room. Fancy, huh? She got right to work and prettied me up. (Obviously, I like to look my best before I exercise! 
)
I’m not going to lie, I really loved my make-up for the day! It was actually pretty subtle considering I was going to be on camera.
A little while later, the camera guy arrived and set up his equipment to interview me about blogging, fitness, and healthy living.
While the camera man set up, I got my hair styled.
All done! 
At first, the interview was really nerve-wracking with the bright lights, big camera, microphone, and people starting at me. Yikes! 
But, once I started talking, it got much easier.
Sound check.
Here’s the scene from the video where I enter the room and blog at my laptop.
Spending a day making a fitness video was really, really cool. There’s so much that goes into it! I hope you enjoyed seeing some of the “behind the scenes” action from the day and be sure to check out the videos where you can see me doing some hula hooping, retro–robics, and belly dancing workouts.

This looks like so much fun! I went to NYC for a Weight Watchers photo shoot and had a similarly nerve-wracking but awesome experience. Congratulations–the video looks GREAT!
You are a super star:)
Wow! You are definitely living every blogger’s dream! I’m so happy for you! Live it up!
It’s always so fun to be “pampered” with hair and make-up done for you! I would’ve been in heaven.

The makeup was light because you obviously are already gorgeous enough

You look like a little girl, on that big white bed
Amazing that you have such great opportunities, and that you enjoy them to the fullest! 
how fun! you were like a movie star!!! =0)
wackiest fittness fad for me was probably “walk away the pounds”…not totally wacky, but i definitely felt wacky walking in place in my living room!!! why i didn’t just take it outside is beyond me! hehehe
Things like that which look so effortless always have so much that go into them. Glad you enjoyed your day as a star.

So cool! I wish I could have a hair and make-up artist for every day.
Sooo fun! I wish someone would come to my house and do my hair and makeup for me everyday! Ha!
Aaw, you look so pretty! I love getting my make-up done. I remember way back at Prom I got it professionally done and I felt so pretty and glamourous, haha.
You look awesome in these shots!- though I personally think our video was way cooler- what happened to the attitude of “anyone can do it” haha?
Looks like it was fun and you look so pretty! It’s nice to get treated to some fancy make up sometimes!
That must of been a lot of fun, glad you were able to be a part of it!
That looks like such a blast. A once in a lifetime oppurtunity.

Wow, again what a great experience! You are very, very lucky! I love the behind the scene photographs, it looks like you had a great time!
What a cool opportunity! You’re such a natural on camera!
Tina your hair and makeup looked AWESOME! I loved the videos! Great work!
oh, my goodness. i think one of the greatest indulgences is professional hair/make up treatment for a day! i love it. you look gorgeous! can’t wait to try the video.
What a cool opportunity! And you certainly look gorgeous.
You look amazing.
Sounded like a fun day.
I always love to see behind the scenes pictures, I find them facinating! You look beautiful of course!
That’s so awesome Tina, congrats! That looks like so much fun, good for you!!
Very cool. I love the makeup too. So understated!
What a fun opportunity for you! Thanks for sharing the experience with all of your readers.
I love having my makeup done although it doesn’t happen very often. I used to be a makeup artist so I find that I like it better when I do it myself most times.
Being pampered is so much fun. But I’d choke in front of those cameras! Good to see you kept your composure!
You look gorgeous!
Cute! Looks nerve racking but fun!
Congrats Tina! I so can’t wait to see the videos to be like I know her
Great job. “)
This is SO cool! I actually really want that video now.
Wei-Wei
Omg, that is so awesome
We actually just got interviewed from the weekly reader for the current teen health section. Congrats on your interview though. And I have to agree with others, you are living a bloggers dream.
