Taking Chances & Doing good!

Hi everyone! I must say I have been trying so hard to contain myself as I have been waiting for my package in the mail! I just try to remember the state director, Allison, has been busy getting things ready for the MN International titleholders for the International pageant! 

Trust me I will be updating this blog ASAP when I get my package of info for state! But for the moment I have been focusing on the hometown pageant, Miss Crosby-Ironton Scholarship Pageant! Since I'm helping out this year, I have been organizing an event for Memorial Day for the awesome royalty!

They will be going to the Care Center & handing out carnations to the residents! I am planning on going with so things go smoothly & for media purposes!! Hopefully I get my sash in time so I can wear it to this fun event! I also have a family member in the care center, so I am excited to visit with her and see her again!

On Wednesday (May 15th), I held a Snow Cone stand! It was a fundraiser for my platform, Every Smile is Beautiful. Mainly for the organization I have linked to it which is Operation Smile! It was kinda weird to be sitting outside like a little kid pretty much trying to sell stuff but I was doing for a fantastic cause! I didn't do as great as I hoped but thanks to some wonderful friends of mine, Amber & Mariah, I was able to start another donation! This does not stop me from fundraising! I will keep going until I reach my goals! I got a nice tan from it, including a nice little burn! Ha! It was still fun! 

I could not wait to do another blog! I really can't wait to blog more once I get my crown & sash! Ekkk! That will be exciting! It still hasn't sunk in that I am Miss Crow Wing County International!! And that I am going to compete for Miss MinnesotaInternational & on my 21st Birthday!! Gonna be a great day no matter what happens! I trust God with all my heart and I know He has big plans for me!! 

Until I have more to say,

God Bless!

Pageants, Why I love them!

Hi my lovely blog readers,

Since I have yet to receive my sash & crown and start making appearances, I thought I would let you know of the mystery that is my love for pageants!
It began back in 2011 after my first pageant. I really wanted to do another after a few months of the pageant. I loved the feeling of being onstage and entertaining people.
The thrill of the possibility of representing your community while being a positive role model to others.
Being able to feel like you are a true queen up onstage in a beautiful evening gown with poise and elegance.
Also being able to let your platform be heard & make a difference within it!

For me I have been extremely shy and not outgoing at all through school. Until my senior year, I caught word of the pageant so I thought I would try it. This is something that I would never thought I would do. But once I stepped out on that stage, I wanted so much more of that stage! I felt so blessed to be able to share my platform!
But be able to just be me!
I have always felt like I wasn't able to be myself in school and it was hard for me to express myself.
Mainly due to the fact that I have been teased so much in my life.

Through pageants, I have gained self-confidence and a sense of inner beauty. I really appreciate how God has helped me grow and learn so much!
I thrive to serve God through my life of course but also through pageants!
I love to bring Him to the stage and through Him I only succeed!
I don't hope to gain fame in anyway but just to make a difference and help out where I can!
I don't want to rub it in anyone's face of my title, that is purely not me and I don't like to make people feel bad or be rude.
Making friends have been a major part of my journey.
I feel so thankful for every wonderful person I have met and befriended, they are so special to me!

I do pageants for the good and never for the fame.
As this titleholder position is so new to me, I try my best to hold it respectively and serve God throughout every event and people I meet.
I want to take this time to thank God for everything He has blessed me with.
I know I am meant for something big, I am buckled in for the ride!

God Bless,
Tiffany Paul
