Oh man...learning new things in a short amount of time!

Wow guys! So recently I have been practicing by myself with this up in coming pageant! But tonight I practiced with some friends who truly know their way through this system!

We focused on walking a lot and swimsuit! I feel I got that down pretty dang well! But I kept bouncing or swinging my arms...I finally got 'er! Lol! The poses are so much fun! They even named one after me entitled "the Tiffany Paul"! HAHA I love it!

Then we practiced Evening gown! That went good but at times I went a little fast but then I slowed down. Then I forgot to turn my head as I was in one stance to look all over the audience! But I am feeling ready for it!

Finally we practiced interview! That was interesting, very different then my last pageant! But not too hard to learn. I grasped the concept quote quickly and thanks to Vicki ad Savannah, I feel so ready for this pageant and I am not going in this to win (though that would be awesome) but to have fun and make friends!

To all who feel like your dreams are out of reach: NEVER GIVE UP!! I was born with a Bilateral Cleft Lip & Palate! I grew up with half of my childhood at Children's Hospital in Minneapolis! I would not change that for the world! I had 15 surgeries to repair my defect and through them I have grown! God has been there and guided me and He is always there for me! My family keeps me grounded and supports me in what my heart may desire! I graduated high school and am currently attending college majoring in Young Education for my A.S. Degree! I have raised $1,321.25 for my platform, Operation Smile because I wanted to show through my last pageant that I was dedicated to my platform but it just didn't show too much to those judges! But now I am here competing for the title of Miss Northern Lakes 2012. There is a reason I am here and didn't earn a title in my past two pageants! God has a plan and there could be something Major here for me! Go with a Smile and Faith...God will guide you though!

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11

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...
