Minnesota Pageant Life

Good evening everyone or whenever you may be reading this :D, It has been quite a hot second since have blogged! So update on my pageant life, I might (BIG MIGHT) be competing for Miss Crosby-Ironton for the third time!! So why am I even telling you this if it's only a might? Well I am so excited thinking back to when I did compete and they are the best pageant memories I have! I enjoyed other pageants I've been in but Miss C-I is where it all started! This is where my heart is. I wanted to share this since I have in deep with nostalgia thinking back and just wanted to talk about it with you. This all depends on if they will allow me to compete. I am four years older than what they say is the max age to compete. Now I understand if they won't allow me to compete but in case they need one more girl to compete I put my name in the hat. You never know what God has in store. I have been feeling the need to get back out there and compete again so for me Miss C-I is where

I truly think if you have dreams, please challenge yourself and not settle! I believe that is what I have been doing with pageants. No matter who or what brings me back in, at the end of another pageant I feel these same feelings. It's just not where God has me going in life. Let me paint you a picture of how it happened. It is the end of the pageant, it went by pretty quick and throughout the whole evening I felt off. I didn't feel as confident like I normally do with pageants. I tried my best as I possibly could. They handed out overall (throughout the 3 titles) individual awards. One miss contestant got two the other got one. There were three of us Miss Contestants. As we went up for the title I knew I wasn't gonna get it. The runner up was announced...not me. The title holder....not me. Shocker? No not at all! I've competed for 5 years....7 pageants (including this one) and I've always lost. I've won Miss Congeniality which is such an honor don't g

Good Afternoon my amazing blog readers, I am so excited to be back with you! I've had some realizations while I haven't been blogging and haven't been competing. It's been a year since I last competed. During this year, I thought that my pageant life was over and I was no longer a pageant girl. In my own way, I am still a pageant girl! There is a difference to what a stereotypical pageant girl is and being your own type. I thought I was a stereotypical one at first, just following the crowd and blending in to the pageant flow. I realized I am way different than that. I may be going a little deep into it lol but I am my own type of a pageant girl. I love getting up on stage and chasing after a childhood dream. I love being able to make a difference on many levels. Also the opportunities that come along with pageantry are pretty amazing. I also was TERRIFIED I was going to change into someone I didn't like. I've seen it happen time and time again. Girls star

GOOD EVENING YALL, I am so excited to say there is only 3 weeks until Miss Brainerd Lakes! Honestly I am so excited to make the best memories and have the best time! No matter what happens, I have a feeling something GREAT is gonna happen! Today I had the best time at the Bridal Expo at the Brainerd Curling Center! I got to meet new gals and see fantastic old friends! I cannot wait to see who else is competing this year! But um...today when I was modeling I tripped a few times...the dress was a bit long even with my heels! Lets just hope that doesn't happen on-stage when it matters! it was still SO MUCH FUN TODAY! I finally worked out the kinks in my talent and I feel ready as can be! Now it just needs to be pageant day haha! Also every weekend I post a new video for my platform on my facebook platform page! Check it out if ya like! https://www.facebook.com/Every-Smile-is-Beautiful-378964405594004/timeline/ I hope to vlog during the day of the pageant...if I remember dur

HEY YALL!! It is so close until the up-in-coming Miss Brainerd Lakes pageant! I am super excited! God has prepared me in multiple ways for anything He has planned! I have given it all up to Him!! I am doing my best this time around not to focus so much on what anyone else is doing rather focus on what God has placed in front of me. I seem to fall into this trap of thinking someone else is WAY better than me & I have NO CHANCE in achieving the title. Those thoughts need to be thrown out the window! I have always thought those kind of things when a pageant came about! I try to stop the thoughts but it seemed it just always happened! THIS YEAR is gonna be different. I'm changing my thought process & my whole outlook. I can't wait to make new friends, memories & continue to grow. This will be my sixth pageant...MAYBE THIS IS MY TIME...MY TIME TO GROW AND EXPERIENCE MORE OF WHAT THIS SYSTEM HAS TO OFFER. To be honest, I don't know but I do know I trust God!

Hey Y'all!! So it's been a while haha. Well let me let ya what has been going on pageant wise in my life. So I have been planing on which pageants I was going to compete in this year, of course in the MAO (Miss America Organization). At first I was going to compete for the title of Miss Midwest but it is actually a little too far for me to travel to. And just randomly speaking, if I were to get the title I felt it wouldn't be fair if I couldn't completely commit to serving out the job. So I will not be competing for Miss Midwest but the next closest one would be Miss Coon Rapids. :) With Miss Coon Rapids, it is much a little closer for travel comfort and it's close to my sister, brother-in-law, nephew, & niece. Also it's a close place to an awesome shopping center! I cannot wait to see where God takes me in pageants this year. So far in this new year He has blessed me with a incredible new job & an incredible closer relationship with Him. I have le
