" \nHello again! To some people, three little words can turn their whole day around. Just hearing: &amp;quot;I love you,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;You look beautiful,&amp;quot; or, &amp;quot;Great work today&amp;quot; can really make a difference. To me, the three little words that put a smile on my face are: Venti Vanilla Latte!! I admit it. I&amp;#039;m addicted to coffee. Especially when I get picked up for work when the party girls are just headed home! Here at Gossip Girl, when we&amp;#039;re not shooting nights, we can get picked up as early as 4:30 a.m. It&amp;#039;s still dark out!! I&amp;#039;ll get to set around 5 a.m, and go right into the makeup and hair chair to get started on getting camera-ready. Rehearsals are called for 6 a.m., when the rest of the crew gets to work. After rehearsals I pop back into hair and makeup to get the final touches done, lips glossed and curls perfected. Finally I get into my wardrobe, run to set, and the cameras start rolling!! We&amp;#039;ll shoot for 6 hours before breaking for lunch. After lunch we will shoot for another 6-8 hours. It takes 8 days just to film one episode, sometimes a bit longer. Basically, we work our butts off to give you guys the best show we possibly can! Of course it helps having an amazing glam team behind you making sure you are always camera-ready. No flyaways, shiny noses or bra straps peeking through (unless we want them to!!). What did you think of my first episode in the Gossip Girl world? Picking out my first outfit as Georgina Sparks was so much fun! From the Jimmy Choo patent leather booties to the statement-making Gucci tote, black, skintight, leather Ya-Ya jacket, and the Tom Ford shades, we totally brought it! But I have to admit, the item I&amp;#039;m most excited to wear is the black onyx gold skull necklace from my own jewelry line, Bella Veritas. I started making necklaces as a side hobby and really just for fun (anyone who knows me will tell you I can&amp;#039;t sit still!). Slowly but surely after passing my necklaces out as gifts to my friends I decided to take my necklace-making show on the road! Every piece is one of a kind, handmade by me. I use semiprecious stones like tourmalines, peridots, amethyst, topaz, garnets, etc. And they have an awesome little charm to add some extra bling. I also make bracelets because I think you can never stop layering your jewels! And really, who doesn&amp;#039;t love to add some sparkle to their outfits?! Anyway, I&amp;#039;d love to stay and chat some more, but it&amp;#039;s past my bedtime, and I have to be up bright and early. Hope I make you guys proud! Xoxoxo, Michelle Ps.
