Working out with Valerie Waters
Working out with Valerie Waters
Hey POPsters!!!! It is a lovely Wednesday morning here in Santa Monica! I just wrapped up a super fun shoot with Valerie Waters and Livestrongwoman yesterday at a super fab private residence here in the hills.
I am REALLY impressed with how much attention and care people are now giving YouTube. I mean, the time, effort, and money put into short less-than-10-min-videos on YouTube is phenomenal. When I film I just set up the tripod and go! If I mess up or say something, oh well, it’s still going up! Haha. Nothing an apologetic annotation can’t take care of 🙂
I had such a great time working out with Valerie Waters. She’s super cute and nice! She trains the Hollywood celebs (wow) and I really COULD NOT believe I was sliding around on the floor with her! We did an ab workout video using her Valslides (much like gliding discs but can be used on carpet) which will be featured on her YouTube show The A-List Look. Then we did a mini ab challenge for BlogilatesTV! I can’t wait to show all of the vids to you! I think you will like them very much. And they are filmed in movie quality style! Wowzers.
Afterwards I was super duper hungry so I met up with a friend for vegan food!!!! Duhhhh. I love eating vegan when I travel. Thanks to everyone on facebook for helping me pick a restaurant! I ended up going to Real Food Daily and it was awesome. I have 1 or 2 more meals today so I will def need to check out your other recommendations. We had the table upstairs and I thought it was extra fab because I could look down at the desserts and the smoothie bar.
We started out with the sea cake. It was my favorite dish of the night by far. Anyone know how to make this?
Vegan Lasagna!
Vegan super burrito!!!!! (Mine)
Dessert. We decided to indulge so we got 2. GASP!!! Warm Apple and Apricot Crisp.
Of course…vegan tofutti cheesecake! You can find my recipe for vegan cheesecake here.
I was sooooo tired after the day that I fell right asleep after the delicious vegan feast. Oh and the Vegan Challenge is DEFINITELY HAPPENING!!!!! My fellow YouTrain buddy and trainer of the show Shedding for the Wedding, Nicky Holender will be writing us a special Vegan meal plan and I am STOKKKEEDDDD. I cannot wait to take it on! I’d love for you to do it with me even if t is just for a few days or even 1 day! Just try it. It will be good for you to switch up your diet. We’ll prob start in a week or 2 weeks.
I am so sad to be leaving LA today but hopefully I’ll be back again soon to do more stuff with other YouTubers and the awesome crew at Livestrongwoman.
Have a fabulous day…I am off to do a run on the beach. Get ready for calf soreness mania.

It’s awesome you’re right there in the mix with all of the huge YouTubers at the right time in history when this is becoming a big deal!! you go girl!! And that food looks incredible!! Makes me wanna go vegan haha. Glad you had a blast!!
How I wished that I live in LA or neighbor with Cassey ! LOL
I definitely recommend going vegan, even if it is not full time. It does wonders for your body, the earth, and the animals.
That house looks GORGEEE!!! Can’t wait to see that finished video! Btw JUST placed my order for miracle noodles…so excited to try em!! =)
Ahh I’m so excited for the Vegan Challenge!
I think my personal problem with looking slimmer is that I eat really bad foods. I work out all the time and I’m super athletic, but I still have that fat roll that just won’t go away.
I know that you’ll help motivate me to eat right! 🙂
Thanks Cassey!
I love Real Food Daily! You should check out either Veggie Grill on Sunset or Elderberries on Sunset both vegan and delicious 🙂
So exciting that you and Valerie collaborated!!!
So excited about the vegan challenge. I was vegan until about 10 months ago when i moved to brussels and discovered it’s tough even being vegetarian in belgium, especially when you don’t have your own kitchen and rely on eating out… So i’m hoping a meal plan will help get me back on track! I really feel so much better as a vegan and it makes it harder to get derailed from healthy eating. And I love Shedding for the Wedding! Miss U.S. tv over here! Can’t wait to get started…
Vegan challenge?! I am so in. I’m sitting here reading your blog eating a raw vegan cauliflower tabbouleh I made yesterday with kale, avocado, and lemon juice. I’ve been thinking about going vegan for awhile but have decided to wade in gradually. I’d love to jump in with you!
Wow, I can’t believe you worked with Valerie Waters! Look at you, you’re totally getting up there with the ranks of famous fitness trainers 🙂
That food all looks amazing, I am excited for you to release the vegan diet plan although I am not so sure if I can follow it myself. What can I say, I love meat and dairy too much! But perhaps I shall for a day haha
It all looks yummy! *YUM* 😉
There aren’t any vegan restaurants here…!!
Amazing food! 😛
Be strong! <3
