Fundraising & Practicing...MY LIFE!

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!

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 and palate awareness since I was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate I really want to make a difference...because it only takes ONE to make a change. Through the Operation Smile website, I created a fundraising page. All funds go DIRECTLY to Operation Smile. The goal is $240, that is the amount for one surgery for one child. These surgeries are done by amazing professionals donating their time in third world countries (ex. Ethiopia, Ecuador, Cambodia, & more) and they only take 45 minutes. Please give ANY amount possible! Thank You & God Bless!

New Dreams, Challenge Yourself!

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...

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...
