CHILLED: Tell us a bit about the projects you are working on or have coming up.

Barbie Blank: Right now my main focus is being a great wife to my husband. I’m very excited for season two of WAGS. I would love to do something in fitness whether it be endorsing fitness wear, or a fitness video, or really anything involving fitness since it is still such a huge part of my life. I also love acting, so if I had an opportunity to do more of that I would love to! I’m looking forward to seeing what opportunities this year has in store for me. The sky’s the limit!

CHILLED: With your busy schedule, what do you like to do with your down time?

BB: I love to cook! And that’s a hobby I have picked up over the last few years. I love going on Pinterest and looking for new recipes to cook for my husband, so I usually plan a different meal each night of the week, it’s something I look forward to doing. I also really like going to the movies, especially by myself, lol. I love going and picking a movie I want to see, getting a bunch of junk food and just watching it with no disruptions.

CHILLED: When you go out to eat, where do you like to dine?

BB: I love sushi, so my favorite restaurant is definitely Nobu! But I love all types of food so we are always up for trying new restaurants.

CHILLED: What types of dishes do you usually order?

BB: I try to eat healthy with a little unhealthy, like I will eat a healthy meal but I will order dessert. I love dessert so that’s where I splurge!
