Twin Tested: Salt Water Floatation Therapy

Whaaaaaaaaat?
Yeah, we thought the same thing when we heard about this. 
Salt water floatation therapy is the newest form of rest and relaxation that has just made its way to Utah.
So, here’s how it goes: you go lay and float in a 200 gallon tank filled with salt water for one hour.
In the end, you are supposed to feel rejuvenated, revitalized, relaxed and stress free.
I have to tell you a secret, I was so scared!
The whole idea of laying in a circular pod filled with mysterious salt water freaked me out a little bit. 
I’m happy to say it went much better in real life than in my head 🙂
Getting used to floating is a very interesting feeling, but pretty cool.
 You can watch the segment HERE!


They say floating for one hour is the equivalent of getting 4 full hours of REM sleep!
I don’t think I felt THAT rested, but in order to get the full results you are supposed to go about once a week.
Pretty high tech crazy stuff!

What it is really like on the Grammy Awards Red Carpet

The red carpet for the Grammys was amazing!
It is so fun to see everyone up close and get a chance to chat with them.

This year we both decided to wear Adrianna Papell dresses.

Britt interviewing Dead Mau5 and Kat Von D.


What up Carly Rae?
She was a little bit awkward to interview, but was nice overall.
She is tiny!

Teenage Heartthrob Hunter Hayes was such a sweetie.
Warning to all you ladies, he is a shorty that wears a lot of makeup (but all guys wear makeup at the Grammys).
I felt like an amazon woman talking to him.
I was trying not to fangirl too hard, but I wanted to tell him we played “Wanted” at our wedding reception.
He was one of my favorite people to interview.

Nelly.
He sang his new song to me and life was good.


Chris Van Vliet from Cleveland was with the CBS crew and is always fun to work with.
He definitely knows how to do an entertaining red carpet interview!


 Brooke got to interview Miranda Lambert, who was over the top sweet and so nice.
She really is just as down to earth as she seems.

One of the funniest things we saw all night… Supermodel Chrissy Teigen asked a security guard to take her picture (he said yes of course), then he got so nervous that he dropped her phone and everyone around was just staring.
Loved her dress!


 The one and only… Chris Harrison!
He LOVED it when Brooke asked him to take a photo with her.
Let’s start a campaign for Brooke for the next Bachelorette!
The run from the red carpet to backstage can be a little tricky -especially in a floor length gown.
Luckily, we didn’t miss any parts of the show. 
Here is a look at what our live shot looked like for the 10 pm news… so glamorous!
Thankfully, on TV they only saw us from the waist up.

Grammys Gift Lounge

We took a trip through the Grammys Gifting Lounge on Saturday.
We are always shocked at how much free stuff they give to celebrities, but we have to say they did not have anything as cool as Red Carpet Manicure this year!
 {our cute tour guide was a student at FIDM}
 {every performer and presenter gets a Gibson guitar, Brooke’s holding the one they all signed}
 {so many fun/way random things including a face mister/moisturizer, skin lifter, sunnies, and an amazingly cute pink toothbrush}
 {everyone had to write what they love and then post it on the LOVE wall}
{The cutest part was the 10-YEAR-OLD DJ! Here she is posing with Ashanti}
{keep your eyes peeled for this picture in an upcoming Japanese magazine ha they wanted Brooke and I to take photos with their newest skincare product that they says tightens and lifts your face}

PREP for the show

 

 The most important part of Grammys prep… chocolate filled croissants from Caffe Primo!
They literally melt in your mouth… so yummy!

We also returned to make up boutique salon BLUSHINGTON
They have hands down the best stylists that listen to what you want and make it last all.day.long. 

 Brooke was lucky enough to get a spot in the private back room, which is perfectly decorated in a peachy pink.

She asked for a glowy look with a strong brow to match her beaded cream gown. 

Our goal next time we are in L.A. is to take one of their classes!

This is what our space on the red carpet looked like before the celebs got there.
 Each news outlet has their own booth and area along the way with photographers and equipment. The bigger the outlet the further ahead you are.
 That is why Ryan Seacrest with E News was first in line!

A girl can get a little overwhelmed when she knows she is going to be standing next to Hollywood beauties…

This year we found both dresses by designer Adrianna Papell, I would send you to a link online, but we literally bought the last two dresses.
We LOVE sparkle.
Britt’s favorite part of her dress was the gorgeous train.

Brooke loved the peek-a-back and loads of beading.

One of the best parts of going to the Grammys was the anticipation of going to the Grammys!
We had so much fun playing dress up for a night.

XOXO B&B

Grahams at the GRAMMYS

We are SO excited to be back in L.A. for the Grammy Awards!
We are thrilled to once again be on the red carpet and backstage for the ceremony.
Our Instagram accounts will be the best way to follow all the action (links on the right hand side of the page).
 We promise to update religously!
Hopefully Taylor Swift will tell us she likes our dresses again 🙂

 There are so many great things about this picture, but the best part is definitely the photo bomber taking a selfer! Doesn’t get better than that.

 E has a fun new camera at their interview station this year the ManiCam!
You stick your hand in and it takes video of your nails… pretty snazzy.
And now… for some great stalker pics taken today on the red carpet:

 Alexa Chung just hanging out with a claw clip in her hair and no makeup on.
Why is she not at Fashion Week?

 Chris Harrison… much smaller than anticipated in person.
I seriously hope he brings some roses to hand out to his picks for best-dressed.

And… the back of Ryan Seacrest’s head! He is such a little man!
Ryan came dressed in a stellar suit and was practicing his routine for a few hours… who knew the pros practiced?!

We cannot wait for the fun to start tomorrow… we are so excited to see the celebs and will give you a full report Sunday night at 10:00pm on KUTV Channel 2 as well as on Monday morning.

Blake Lively Interview

We first got to know Blake Lively in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and then of course as Serena on Gossip Girl.
We were a little (LOT) bit nervous to interview her because about a year ago we interviewed Leighton Meester, who plays Blaire on Gossip Girl and she was not the nicest.
We also had to sign an interview deal saying that we would not ask Blake any questions about her marriage or wedding.
After signing our lives away, we thought she would be very impersonal, but we are so happy to report that Blake was super sweet and charming!
From the second we started doing mic checks, she was chatting with us like we were her best friends.
You can watch it HERE!
 We asked her if there was ever a morning she woke up and decided she just wanted to wear sweats.
She said of course she wakes up and puts on sweats and UGGS sometimes, but she feels the best when she gets dressed in something she loves.
 Then, we asked her what she is doing with all of her free time now that Gossip Girl has wrapped.
She said she is loving sleeping in most mornings past her usual 4:30am wake up call.
Then, we asked her about Utah because we found out she has a sister that lives in Park City.
Brooke asked where she likes to go when she is in Utah and she said she loves Nielsen’s Frozen Custard (which is one of our FAVORITE icecream joints in Holladay), Davanza’s Pizza (right off of Park City Mainstreet) and going tubing up at Daniel’s Summit.
At the end of the interview I told her I hoped to run into her at Nielsen’s next time she was in Utah.
How magical would it be to be BFFs with Blake?
