Shannon Beador is taking to her Bravo Blog to dish on this week's episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Shannon Beador talks about her new business venture with QVC and shares her first impressions of newbies Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter.
BravoTV.com: Tell us about your new food business venture!
Shannon Beador: I am so excited to have the opportunity to launch Real For Real Cuisine with QVC. I have typically been a health-conscious person, especially when it comes to eating, but the last couple years I found myself eating through my stress. After gaining 40 pounds, there came a moment when I knew I had to turn my life around for myself and especially my girls. I am thrilled that I have the opportunity to show people that you can be satisfied with a flavorful meal that is healthy and low in calories. I’ve always loved to cook. Over the years, I have created many different meals that are good for you and still taste amazing. It has been such a fun process developing the recipes, and it means so much that I now will have the ability to share them and help others that are going through the same struggles that I have experienced. At this point in my life, I want to create an easy, healthy lifestyle while also enjoying myself. By making better food choices for most of the week, I can still have a dessert or piece of bread when I want to.
BravoTV.com: Why did you leave law school?
SB: I left law school after my ex-fiancé and I ended our relationship. I realized that I truly didn’t want to practice law. But I am very grateful I received the education, which continues to be helpful today.
BravoTV.com: Were you nervous to meet Gina and Emily? What were your first impressions?
SB: I am absolutely an emotional person, but I am rarely afraid. I was not nervous meeting Emily and Gina at all. From first impressions, I thought they both threw themselves and their opinions into a situation that they knew nothing about. While I agree with Kelly that Vicki shouldn’t have set Michael up, I found it odd and inappropriate for them to vocalize such strong opinions about Vicki, a person they had just met. They jumped right in with some pretty strong language.
