LOVE. preston. family. friends. ocean-minded souls and sunsh!ne :) everything to do with sun / sand / snow, especially: SURFING, wakeboarding, kiteboarding, jetskiing, kayaking, white water rafting all summer, and SNOWBOARDING all winter... ADVENTURE, technology, ANIMALS, nature, SCIENCE, books, POLITICS, art, MUSIC, film, TRAVELING, volunteering, SMILING, roller coasters, seaside bike rides, moonlit hiking, frollicking barefoot, CAMPING, football, baseball, tennis, FOOSBALL, rollerblading, TREE / ROCK / CLIMBING ANYTHING! foreign films, theater, museums, arboretums, gardens, poetry, SALSA, capoiera, MMA, riding horses and elephants, sailing, battle royale c VS d paintball wars, flying kites, yoga, doga, long romantic cartwheels on the beach ;) sky diving, fried banana rolls, sacred medicine circles... happily ever nows... always creating kodak moments with the ones i love :) the simple things in life... afternoons at barnes and noble, laying on the floor, reading a good book fresh off the shelf in my pj's... blockbuster nights filled with chinese food, chick flicks and cuddling... soaking in flower-filled bubble baths, after a long day in nature or on set... cooking, and especially baking! from scratch, for the ones i love... asking for a side of french fries at a 5 star restaurant without feeling uncouth... picking out only the red gummie bears... pecan turtles over godiva... astronaut ice cream that melts in your mouth.... my homemade guacamole... still not liking vegetables and believing it's perfectly acceptable to substitute wheat grass, edamame and gummie vitamins in lieu of the gross green stuff that's good for you... thinking apple computers not makeup when i hear the word mac... being addicted to popular science, new scientist and wired instead of us weekly, cosmo and vogue... reading the wsj and hoping one day, i'll truly get it... practicing yoga 3 times a week, still always snickering, creating mental to-do lists, and wanting to scream like a 5 yr old in church- whenever they chant "ommmm".... feeling just as comfortable running around on set wearing a fanny pack as i am skipping down the red carpet in a designer outfit (that i could obviously never put together without the help of my wardrobe stylist friends!)... the smell of christmas cookies, preston's breath, my man's t-shirt, tropical flowers, bonfire barbecues, old records, telecine houses, and the sea... the sound of children laughing, preston crying, audiences applauding, the first time a boyfriend whispers i love you... remembering how blessed i am to have the best friends, family, and munchkin a girl could ever hope for... reminiscing with old friends, cherishing new friends, trying never to take the people i care most about for granted, and trying to forget the ones who aren't worthy of my care... shaping hearts ;) handwritten love letters... handpicked flowers for no reason... pink lillies instead of red roses... celebrating birthdays, holidays, anniversaries and random days of appreciation- in between those hallmark occasions- with heartfelt, thoughtful, *just because* acts of kindness... feeling the sun on my face, absorbing anywhere in beautiful nature... taking exotic adventures all around the world, increasing my knowledge of foreign countries and cultures, hoping to reach every corner of the globe by 30, and pretty sure i will... disappearing at the cinema, sneaking into a second or third movie, mixing buttered popcorn and reeses pieces, and laughing at the tears streaming down my faces as the credits roll, hoping to make art that motivates others as much as it inspires me... finishing what i begin... always having faith... anticipating the future... enjoying the now... speaking out for animals, appreciating a perfect swell, doing everything i can to help others, help the world, and help myself live happily now AND ever after... believing one day, i will make a positive impact, if i haven't already... ;)

i don't believe in idolizing "heroes"... rather, learning from the most touching attributes of those you find most inspirational. there are ordinary people who can change your life in the simplest of ways~ i met this beautiful old couple, last november, in paris. they were sitting on a park bench, in the rain, sharing an ice cream cone. the wife actually spoke english, and i talked with her for ages~ about life, love, marriage... and learned how happy she and her husband had been for the last 60+ years... they were amazing together. so cute and perfectly fulfilled... and after 60 years?! that to me, is my ultimate goal, over any career aspiration... to be 90-something, sitting on Pont Neuf sharing an ice cream cone in the rain, with the love of my life...
It’s not surprising, after 10 million viewers tuned into Laura & Preston, week after week, in their prime time television debut- Laura Nativo’s life has officially gone to the dogs.
The breakout starlette from CBS’ hit reality show, GREATEST AMERICAN DOG, may not have taken home the grand prize… but America fell in love with Laura, and her little pom too. Now, Laura & Preston, deemed “America’s Favorite Ma & Paw” by ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, are fast becoming one of Hollywood’s hottest “power” couples in the realm of entertainment and philanthropy.
The duo has appeared on THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH CRAIG FERGUSON, ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, REALITY BINGE, THE INSIDER, E!NEWS, NBC, CBS, as well as in hundreds of articles, forums, blogs and videos across the internet. Laura can even be seen helping to build a wild animal sanctuary in an
upcoming episode of EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME EDITION.
The brunette beauty already had an impressive list of credits, working as an actress and host in a number of movies, tv shows, music videos and commercials. Since her silver screen debut in Woody Allen’s aptly named film, CELEBRITY, Laura has shared camera time with the likes of Justin Timberlake (ALPHA DOG), Vin Diesel (XXX) and Charlize Theron (CELEBRITY).
Equally talented off screen, Laura is a highly respected film producer, credited with the teen comedy SURF SCHOOL, the festival hit RULE OF THREE, and THRESHOLD, an award-winning short film in which she also starred.
Currently, she is producing and hosting a live interactive show for dog lovers on the world’s most-watched internet television network, with her better half, Preston.
PRESTON'S PLANET L!VE airs live Monday nights @ 6pm PST on theStream.tv!
Laura and Preston return to the big screen next year, co-starring in a “dogmantic comedy” set for production spring 2009. They also have a sitcom in development with a major production company, as well as a number of educational and reality programming in the works.
Laura’s girl-next-door warmth, captivating personality and undeniable brilliance have opened more doors than she ever imagined reality television could offer. But her “10 year overnight success” is long overdue, and certainly deserved.
She grew up in New Jersey with her father and younger sister, whom she helped raise after losing her mother to breast cancer. At the precocious age of five, Laura joined the cast of the popular television show ROMOPER ROOM and experienced a kindergarten epiphany. She knew that whether it was in front of or behind the camera, she was destined for show business.
The cinema became her escape and these experiences inspired her to help others, particularly children who endured similar loss. Thus, creating positive, thought provoking entertainment became her lifelong vocation.
When she wasn’t taking care of the family or in school, Laura devoted her time making films with neighborhood friends, re-enacting scenes from DIRTY DANCING every day after school, and performing all over the east coast with the professional children’s theatre group, KIDS ON TOUR.
At the age of 17, still just a junior in high school, Laura took her life savings and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting and producing. The 4.0 student graduated early from Beverly Hills High school and passed on Ivy League offers to instead focus on her passion.
Laura’s experience on and off camera, devotion to quality entertainment, and sincere desire to help others makes her a modern day Renaissance woman. Laura is active in politics and many philanthropic ventures near and dear to her heart.
As a motivated contributor to the Barack Obama Campaign, she was a producer for the YES WE CAN TOUR, a series of short films inspired by Obama, which toured the nation raising money and spreading the message for his campaign. She was also active in the California battle for animal farming conditions- Yes on Prop 2, and is currently dedicated the civil rights battle against Proposition 8.
Look for Laura in upcoming PSA animal rights campaigns, as a national spokesperson for IN DEFENSE OF ANIMALS, including their FUR-FREE FASHION and PET GUARDIAN initiatives. Laura will also be speaking on behalf of animals at IDA’s annual Fur-Free Friday Event in Beverly Hills. A long time animal lover, Laura has had the opportunity to spend extensive time with some of the world’s top animal trainers working with elephants, monkeys, leopards, hyenas, lions, tigers and bears (oh my), on a number of projects!
Laura’s relationship with Preston has opened doors she could have never imagined. Even before their experience on GREATEST AMERICAN DOG, Laura and Preston worked regularly as a therapy dog team with LOVE ON 4 PAWS, an LA based therapy dog program that visits local hospitals. Post-GAD, in an effort to form an innovated therapy dog group that appeals to a younger generation of volunteers, Laura has now joined forces with Greatest American Dog co-star Laurie Williams (BA CPDT) of COMFORT PAWS, a national non-profit therapy dog volunteer organization formed in 2006.
Laura will spearhead and oversee the LA division, THE PAWTASTICS, comprised of Preston and his celebrity, studio and other amazing dog friends, along with their humans. She is thrilled to have the opportunity to combine her love for animals with her compassion for children.
Laura is earning her reputation as a talented, gorgeous and brilliant young woman poised to become Hollywood’s next biggest and brightest thing. In her “free time” the self-proclaimed “prissy tomboy” is addicted to living out of a suitcase, surfing in Hawaii, justifying excuses to work in Europe, and adventuring around the world. When in LA (rarely) and not trying to save the world (particularly rarely), she most loves surfing, snowboarding, and sleeping with the only man who can keep up – Preston.

Sometimes when i look around, all i see is misery, despair, frustration and pain...
Then, i close my eyes, take a couple deep breaths, RELAX...And ask myself, "WHAT IF all I saw was what I WANTED TO SEE?" Then, I open my eyes. I see the sun, I see the blue sky, I see my girls smiling back at me, I see life...
And then, lo and behold, I see nothing but OPPORTUNITY...

When you wake up in the morning be sure to ask yourself, "Am I looking for LIFE to bless me today or to give me a struggle?"
MINDSET: it's the steering wheel to the vehicle that drives our lives. Which way you going today? :) Take care
