Twin Cities Live: At Home

I was scheduled to appear live in-studio on Twin Cities Live, but the TV station wisely made the decision to not allow guests in the building right now.  So the TCL team and guests are getting creative to find ways to bring viewers fresh, fun, relevant content in a way that honors what we collectively are doing to flatten the Coronavirus curve with social distancing and self-isolation.  Here's what we came up with!

I shot three short clips in my home, offering up my personal picks for a hand cream that will soothe dry, chapped hands after all the extra washing/sanitizing we're doing; an at-home hand mask that you probably did back in 6th grade but whatever, we're going for entertainment here; and an affordable, accessible bubble bath that has become part of my own daily self-care ritual.

I always try to offer up a "Behind the Scenes" perspective when I'm at the TCL studio, so I'll do the same in this case. This case being, my house. 

• Every time I hit "Record" on my iPhone, I was suddenly out of breath. Just standing there, in one spot, trying to talk to a camera in my own home made me feel winded. Why? No clue. 
• No one had better try to zoom in on my background in these clips. Did I clean the house before shooting? Absolutely not. It was a last-second thing, so I put on more eyeshadow and bronzer. Priorities, clearly. 
• Did you notice that I took great pains to obscure the pointer finger on my left hand? The nail polish had completely come off that one finger and I didn't have the time to fix it.
