Minnesota Pageant Life

Hello everyone! So I really haven't blogged in a while. Here is the run down of how everything went at the Miss Brainerd Lakes/Central Lakes Pageant. My interview was awesome & I was able to do my Cindy Lou Who impression! Too Cool! I did my best onstage & rocked talent! Didn't drop my baton at all! I made some awesome friends as well and was reunited with old ones! Then comes time for crowning.... The Miss BL contestants were last. First they announced the Spirit Award winners for Teen and Miss. The teen 'Miss Congeniality' was my buddy, Mariah!! She also got first runner up for the Miss Central Lakes OT! For the miss....ME!! I received the 'Miss Congeniality' for the Miss! I honestly was taken by surprise. I never had my name called out during crowning for any award well only once but at a weird moment. It was at the Miss CI Pageant 2012 and it was the Life Achievement award; it really wasn't much. It was never given out before & never given

Hello all of my blog readers, Wow ok so let me say the Miss Brainerd Lakes Pageant is THIS WEEKEND, October 18th!! I have so many emotions I just don't even know where to begin lol. First off, I want to say thank you so much to everyone who has been supporting me and sending me well wishes! Every single one of you mean so much you don't even know! THANK YOU!! So moving on, I have been practicing non-stop for the past about 5-6 months for this pageant (whoa) for talent, walk, & interview. Also preparing physically for fitness...I'm going to admit I have slipped a few times. But come on if you saw a McDonald's you would want fries too haha! There isn't much to really report in this blog because not much has happened yet haha. I will do my best to update you on pageant day! But I do ask one thing of you if it's not too much! Please join me in prayer for interview & for the pageant. Thank you! If you want to come and watch all of us contestants &am

HEY!!! Who is excited for a pageant next month....THIS GIRLLLLL! Only one more month until Miss Brainerd Lakes 2014...wow it is so insane. Reason I say this is because I have been practicing most/all of the summer and now it is finally on the way. I'm always practicing talent, interview skills, and walking. Also since I mentioned walking...I bought these new heels and my 'lanta it is such a difference from my old ones! My old ones were plastic across the foot and ankle. They were always hurting my feet when it came to the crowning part of the evening. But now I got a sort of knock off of Johnathan Kayne heels and yes baby my feet are happy happy happy! :) Also I did some research about my favorite duck family, The Robertsons! The beautiful daughter of Jase & Missy, Mia, was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate. This is the exact from I was born with. When I found that out that made me extremely happy mainly for the fact I feel like I can relate to them more! Little

HELLO everyone! :D It has been a while since I have spoken to you it seems! Well let me update you a bit of course on what is going on pageant wise in my life. So I have been doing my best to get pageant swimsuit ready!! I feel I am the best I can be health/fit wise right now! I don't want to over work myself and get too crazy so I am doing things at a slow to moderate pace. I am perfecting my talent & adding new tricks! I do not think I told y'all this but I figured why not tell you now because you will find out anyways! I will be doing a baton twirling routine to the song Dark Horse by Katy Perry for my talent! I cannot wait to perform it. I am always practicing & making sure I remember it all lol. But it should go smooth. It seems like when I hit the stage; my walk, talent, onstage question, & also offstage in private interview things go amazing & perfect!! Trust in God, that is the answer! I have my evening gown, swimsuit, talent outfit (need the shoes

Hello everyone! So quite a bit has happened since I talked to you last! First, CONGRATS to my buddy Savannah Cole who was crowned Miss Minnesota 2014!! I am seriously so proud of her. But I am, of course, so proud of all my buddies who competed for the title. Love y'all! I hope to be in your shoes next summer as I go for the title of Miss Brainerd Lakes 2014 on October 18th! Save the date! As I mentioned before, every Miss America contestant has to raise $100 at the local level. I am so excited to say, thanks to God and my community, $100 was raised! I can't even imagine how many smiles these donations will create for families who need it. If you still want to give you are more than welcome to! I will still raise funds for CMN, go to my donation page to do so! www.missamericaforkids.org/donate/tiffanypaul Second, since I raised the required amount for CMN (and still going) I want to do more for my personal platform, Every Smile is beautiful. Which is all about cleft lip a

Hello everyone sorry I haven't updated in about 2 months! Since then I haven't had too many thoughts about the pageant and had other thoughts. I actually thought about moving and not just in another town...in ANOTHER STATE! TO CALIFORNIA! But since I seriously do not have the money to do this crazy adventure I'm here in MN! There isn't much to update on since pageant ventures haven't started yet. But I will tell you a couple things! 1) I will be raising money for the Children's Miracle Network (CMN) during the summer by holding a game during my hometown's music in the park & mountain bike festival. Sad things is I was asked to do the mountain bike festival. You may be thinking, "Wait isn't that a good thing?" Why yes it is but the Miss Minnesota Pageant is the same day... June 14. But I can't wait to raise money for CMN & teach everyone on the organization/my platform! This is seriously too much fun haha! Who wouldn't w

Hello there! Aw man I seriously have a feeling God is beautifully putting everything into place for a reason! As I am preparing for Miss Brainerd Lakes 2014, my talent is coming together naturally & amazing! Working on my interview questions...going great! Need to work on my walk though, a bit wobbly & stubbly!  I have plenty of time to work on those things. I also am working out, literally. Doing my best to tone up rather than lose weight. It is pretty tough when you have chocolate & potato chips taunting you. Haha!  My healthy eatting consists of: Breakfast- Cereal, coffee or water, & fruit Lunch- Salad with fruit & water Supper- Salmon, salad, & Milk Snack- Fruit or Protein Bar  My workout: 10 Sit-ups  10 Push-ups 30 Side to side Toe Touches 30 Seconds of Side Stretches 15 Minutes of Workout Bike 15 Minutes of Elliptical  (Might add more later) I will update you on my workout as time goes on! So I have also decided to make a Youtube channel dedicated to my pa

Hello! So this morning I came to the realization of my purpose in pageants. In every pageant I would pray before each competition & still do. Yet I never put into perspective that I had a purpose to be there. An open door as it says in Revelation. I know your deeds. Behold, I have set before you an open door that no one is able to shut—because you have little power, but you have kept My word and have not denied My name. (Revelation 3:8) I know God will continue to provide if I am doing His will. I am not going to give up! There is a reason why God put passions, dreams, & goals in our hearts!  I trust in God and I know I will walk through fire and be prosecuted for my faith, but I will never stop believing nor stop serving God. He is my everything. I take Him seriously because He took me seriously when He took up the cross for me.  So God, this is for You! I love you & I will not stop doing pageants until you tell me to! I am yours & you are mine!  Go

Hello everyone!! Well it's almost has been a year since I have written a blog on here. So I have some very exciting news. Since I competed at Miss Minnesota International 2014, I first decided not to compete in pageants anymore. I was worried that God wouldn't get the glory if I continued to compete. He is why I would compete. Also I felt like I couln't be me, like I had to wear a mask. But just recently I decided to get back in. I will be competing in Miss Brainerd Lakes in August of this year. I feel very excited to get back in and try a new pageant in a system that I love. I already have set up a volunteer opprotunity/fundraiser in the summer to raise money for the Children's Mircle Network in order for me to compete & also for the organization tied to my platform, Operation Smile. It will be A LOT of fun!! I also purchased my swimsuit for the pageant & got my talent set up. I know this will be the best pageant I have yet to ever compete in!!!  When I
