I’m so excited to tell you all about being on Access Hollywood Live! As I have mentioned before, I am representing Swanson Health Products as their spokesblogger on this media tour in L.A. We kicked things off with the biggest interview at Access Hollywood Live on Tuesday morning. We checked in at the door (did you know Bachelorette Rachel had been there just a few hours before!?) and were led back to my dressing room and the green room, seen here:
When we first discussed the details for me to do this tour with Swanson, all of my questions were regarding hair, makeup, and wardrobe, as I knew I’d be able to do the interview part just fine 🙂 I was really glad to hear they had someone come do my hair and makeup for me. My stylist, Crystal, did a wonderful job! I asked for beachy waves, and she delivered : )
The lashes were quite impressive since I barely have any to begin with. I was a fan!
I changed into my outfit — a simple but bright blouse, cropped pants, and flats (I didn’t want to do a short dress since I’d be seated). I was a ball of nerves, but I’d been rehearsing a lot, so I knew deep down I’d be OK.
We were invited to the set just as Alexa Penavega was being interviewed for her new movie Destination Wedding. When I looked her up I realized why she looked familiar — she was also on Nashville! It was cool to watch the interview from the back, but honestly, I was trying to “stay in character” (haha) so I was going over my messages in my head the whole time.
Then it was our turn!
I greeted the hosts, Natalie Morales and Kit Hoover, and they were both very nice and friendly to little ole me : ) We sat down and got going. The segment was very conversational — Natalie and Kit had such great enthusiasm and asked good questions! I went over my five tips for healthy living and then I shared a bit more about the Swanson line. You can see the whole line of 14 on the Swanson website, and you can also take their quiz to choose the probiotic that’s best for you.
I think the whole segment was about 4 minutes long. I’ll have a link to share with you all soon — it’s airing Friday the 26th. Click here to check your local listings.
I can say, now that it’s over, that I really did have a great time!! I’m glad I didn’t blank on camera or do anything embarrassing! I don’t know how celebrities and politicians can handle that kind of pressure. While I did just fine, I’m not sure I’d want to be in the spotlight every day!
Stay tuned for more recaps headed your way soon!
Thanks to Swanson for having confidence in me and for sponsoring this post : )

Haha, congratulations on your TV debut! I would’ve spluttered and gotten tongue-tied if I were to speak in front of a whole camera crew myself!

Can’t wait to see the segment – you look gorgeous! My dental hygienist at my cleaning this week mentioned research she’s been reading about probiotics and dental health!
Carrie this fit chick says
LUCKY you!!! What an exciting thing to do. I’m with you, false lashes make a HUGE difference!
Melissa (fitnessnyc) says
You look stunning! Such a cool opportunity, congrats. Love that set design.
Linda @ the Fitty says
Oh gosh, what an opportunity! Do you know Jenna from Swanson Health Products? I love Swanson.
KathEats says
I haven’t met her!
Christine says
You were glowing – and you look beautiful! Congrats on a successful TV Debut! Question, where did you get your flats, they look super cute! And I love the grayish-black color, they seem very versatile! Thanks!
KathEats says
Thanks they are Rothy’s! I LOVE them. So comfortable and breathable. Best flats I’ve owned yet. Here’s a $20 off code if you’re interested 🙂
Christine says
Thank you so much, you totally made my day with the discount code! Just ordered a pair!
KathEats says
You will LOVE them! FYI, when I first tried them on (in my normal size, an 8) I thought they were too big because they were slipping off my heels just a bit. But a day later they had molded to my feet and now they are perfect!
Christine says
Thank you for the tip! I’m typically a size 10 but since they didn’t have that size in the color I wanted, I ordered the 10.5, eek. Worse case I exchange them. Fingers crossed it works out!
Christina @ montessoriishmom.com says
So exciting! You looked gorgeous 🙂 I can’t wait to watch the segment!
Sheena says
Amazing, how fun! Can’t wait to see the clip. I love the green top.
My hair is similar to yours – it also gets lump and stringy when I attempt to make it curly or wavy. I should give up but I keep trying!
Randy says
You look great Kath and have that tv look!
Will you still speak to us commoners when you get back? 🙂
KathEats says
lol of course! y’all make me who I am <3
Jodea says
I would never have guessed from your photos that you have a ‘lack’ of lashes! Me too! Mine are short, straight and light at the ends. I have to curl them to even see they’re there! I had eyelash extensions for my recent wedding which were AMAZING! But too high maintenance to have full time. It’s hard to get used to my stubby little real ones again now 😀
Andrea on Vacation says
This is so cool! Congrats on the segment
Ashley says
What a great opportunity! Congrats! Way to slay!
Kirsten @ little bites of my life says
Your hair & make-up looked amazing. I love a natural look.
Well done on your interview. I would have gone blank!!
Samantha says
That looks so fun! Can’t wait to check out the segment!
Steph says
That’s so exciting! You should be very proud! P.S. What brand/color is your nail polish?? Love it!!
Maribeth says
So cool – congrats!!
Emily says
this is so cool -haha a pipe dream of mine! Love the little dose of celebrity.
And I love Kit Hoover – she was on Road Rules back in the day (gosh, 20+ years ago now!) and she was hilarious then! And Natalie Morales always seems to nice and sweet.
Jeanie says
Did you bring Crystal home with you?

How exciting! I wish I would have gotten my hair and make up done for the segments I did last summer! I bet you did awesome!
Jocelyn @ Hip Mama's Place says
Haaa! I saw you on Access Hollywood yesterday so I thought I’d stopped by your blog to say hi! I only saw the tail end of it and yes, you did look a bit nervous.. I would be too! Anyways, we’ve met and were together at the Williamsburg, VA blogger tour 2 yrs ago, in case you don’t remember me. 🙂
KathEats says
Hey Jocelyn! So fun you saw it and thanks for stopping by!
Lara says
Love the blouse and hairdo!
Audrey says
Just watched your interview… you killed it! I didn’t think you looked nervous at all, and it was fun to see you talk about what you’re passionate about. Awesome job!
