\n\tAlicia Carmody\u2019s life has done a full 180 since it was announced she joined The Real Housewives<\/a> of Rhode Island cast<\/a> not even a year ago.<\/p>\n

\n\tFive months after the show debuted on Bravo<\/a>, the Housewife is deep into filming on the highly anticipated second season, but she squeezed in some time to chat with The Hollywood Reporter about her new partnership with Ferrero celebrating Adultoween.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI love Halloween<\/a>. I love snacks. I love Ferrero. I love a Butterfinger. I love a Kinder Egg. So it kind of just like all worked out,\u201d Alicia says when asked why she wanted to partner with the food company behind snacks such as Nutella, Kinder and Tic Tac. <\/p>\n

\n\tAlicia adds of the partnership, \u201cHalloween has always been one of my favorite times of year. It\u2019s really about embracing that sense of play and not taking yourself too seriously. That\u2019s exactly what Adultoween is about: Giving adults permission to be creative and have fun again, the way we did as kids. And honestly, snacking is such a huge part of that nostalgia for me \u2014 Ferrero has always been part of my Halloween memories, so partnering with them for this felt really natural.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFerrero\u2019s Halloween collection includes Kinder Joy x Stranger Things Eggs, Kinder Bueno Halloween Lay Down Bags, Butterfinger Skulls, Keebler Spookie Fudge Stripes, Mother\u2019s Eerie Critters and Kinder Joy Glow in the Dark Halloween Eggs.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen asked if partnering with brands is something she was looking forward to after becoming a Housewife, Alicia admits, \u201cI actually really never thought I was going to even be a Housewife. I really didn\u2019t know what to expect, to be honest.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBravo<\/a> revealed<\/a> in May that Rhode Island was pacing as the network\u2019s second-biggest series across platforms, behind only The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the longtime ratings winner of the franchise.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlicia says that the cast \u201chad no clue\u201d their show would be so well received, and she believes viewers resonated with her story because she \u201cwas so honest about my life.\u201d Among the topics she discussed on season one were her 10-year engagement to Billy Kitsilis and her desire to be more involved in their business, Pizza Mamma.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI don\u2019t know how to not be myself, and I think people could see that, you know,\u201d she says when asked why fans resonated with her. \u201cI shared my family, my aunts, building a business with my fianc\u00e9. I just think that I was so honest about my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBeing a Housewife is a full-time job, and Alicia says it\u2019s been hard work. \u201cIt\u2019s a full-time job, but I didn\u2019t know that. I was like, I\u2019m gonna film going out to dinner with my girlfriends, having a cocktail, a drama here and there, you know,\u201d she says. \u201cI never knew I could work this hard, and it keeps you young. It keeps you moving. You\u2019re always pushing yourself to different limits.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAlicia is partaking in Bravo Fan Fest Charleston<\/a> this October, just ahead of Halloween. It will be her first fan event as a Housewife, and she\u2019s preparing to \u201ctake up every moment that I can.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for details about season two of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island<\/a>, she remains tight-lipped, but hints at a potential story to come. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of work, to wedding plan,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\n\tWould she ever let Bravo film her wedding? \u201cYou never know. I don\u2019t even know what day it is right now, so you never know what [it will be] like when it actually happens. I mean, it\u2019s been 10 years that we\u2019ve been engaged.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWith the launch of her partnership with Ferrero, Alicia gave her Instagram followers a peek into how she celebrates Halloween, while announcing a giveaway that will see a winner receive Ferrero Halloween goodies. Of what she loves most about the holiday, the Housewife said, \u201cI love that Halloween, you can be creative and you can be whatever. You can make yourself into whatever you want.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAdultoween started as an insight the Ferrero Group discovered and has grown into a cultural movement,\u201d said Chad Stubbs, chief marketing officer of Ferrero North America. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to see where this year\u2019s trends land and how they\u2019ll shape the way we engage and show up for our fans in bigger and better ways this Halloween and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alicia Carmody\u2019s life has done a full 180 since it was announced she joined The Real Housewives of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":610312,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[4908,156,47129,111,139,69,3626,1093,94449,437],"class_list":["post-610311","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-bravo","tag-entertainment","tag-halloween","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-real-housewives","tag-reality-tv","tag-the-real-housewives-of-rhode-island","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=610311"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610311\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/610312"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=610311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=610311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=610311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
