Raising Funds for New Smiles!

Hello guys! So I have noticed that I am getting so addicted to blogging...HAHA can't help it is so much fun to blog about how much fun I am having recently that is pageant related!

So I wanted to make a blog about my fundraiser for my platform...Operation Smile! I have known of this organization since I was little and with having this birth defect of a bilateral cleft lip and palate, I was personally connected with this. When my father would tell me to turn it to a channel the commercial was on for Operation Smile, I felt so bad for those kids who couldn't have the access like I had to doctors and surgeries. I wanted to make a change.

I thought it would be cool to donate to my platform before the pageant to show how much I really do care and want to make a difference. But my boss suggested to do a fundraiser through the month of August for Operation Smile. So I did and I started actually in Mid-July and I already have more then my goal is!

My goal was $240 which is enough for one surgery to a child through Operation Smile. But so far I have $580!!! I feel so blessed that I am being used to make a difference. Now I hope to raise enough to sponsor an operating table, which is $600...seems like it won't be a problem. :) As I continue this fundraiser through August...well when August comes :)...I will update you on how it goes and let you know how much it all comes to!

I also want to take this time to thank my workplace and sponsor in the pageant, Heartland Kitchen & Cafe for letting me do this and my wonderful community for giving to my platform!
Remember you are giving a new smile to a child who is going day to day thinking, "Why am I like this, why was I born this way?" Completely changing lives here.

Making a difference in the pageant world!

Hey guys. So somethings have changed since I last spoke with you. In my job situation, I have changed my main job to working at a local retail store, KJ's MiniMart and I will be starting my own daycare for my niece, Gabby, and the new baby when he or she arrives. I can't wait to meet my new niece or nephew! :) Now pageant wise, I will be holding a pageant workshop THIS coming Sunday! I am so excited. I will be teaching some young ladies I know some tips and tricks I know about pageantry. Also at the end of the workshop, there will be a mock pageant! I will judge & audit. Also there are awards that will be given out such as, best interview, onstage question, evening gown & talent (or fitness wear). I am unsure if we will be doing talent or fitness wear depends what the talents are. If things are not available to do some talents then I might give an option of doing a talent or fitness wear or just do fitness wear. Either way they will be weighed the same. Pictures w...

Miss America 2013!

This is a quick post on Miss America! Warning: You should NEVER be by Tiffany Paul while watching Miss America! She is a bomb just waiting to go off! :) With Good Intentions! I was quite sad and upset that our lovely Miss Minnesota, Siri Freeh, didn't make it to any of the tops but she will always be my Miss America. We all love you, Siri! But I am so happy for the woman who was crowned Miss America 2013, Mallory Hytes Hagan. I love that she is a regular woman. She took the subway & worked as a waitress! It shows that anyone can achieve their dreams. God has a unique and special plan. Just trust and He will take you places you have yet to dream of. Joel Osteen anyone. :D This helps me especially. Since I have yet to receive that crown that is meant to be mine, this has inspired me to go whole hog to my dreams. Never give up. Through each experience, I get stronger and trust God even more. I know He has a great plan for me. Never question. Until then, I will be bloggin...

New Pageant...New Memories!

Ok so now I believe I have decided that I WILL NOT be competing in the Miss C-I Pageant again but I will be competing in another pageant!! I was debating about which I should compete in and I believe I found one that is PERFECT!! IT IS THE.......... MISS MINNESOTA COLLEGIATE PAGEANT 2014! Held on August 17, 2013! I am so excited. I haven't fully registered yet but I will trust me! This will be so awesome because they are based on a woman's potential not the outer beauty! The stages of competition are -Personal Interview -Evening Gown -Fun Fashion -On Stage Question There is no talent or swimsuit! Dang that makes me so happy!! I do like talent and swimsuit but it is nice that I won't feel the pressure of finding a talent or making sure I have that swimsuit bod. I feel I am meant to do something bigger! I received some advice from Siri (Miss MN) and she told me about the time she applied to colleges and didn't get into UMD. But she took a leap of faith a...
