Mrs. Ohio Favorite Things




I keep all my pageant girl make-up organized with this pretty pink Kaboodles organizer. With a hard shell case and a handle, it is easy to take you cosmetics with you wherever you do.



I love this Cheetah print, and animal prints are “in” this season. These shoes are so comfortable, and will keep you looking super cute while doing all those squats and lunges!
             

The bigger the lashes, the better in my opinion! This awesome mascara is what I use to make my lashes look longer and fuller.

   


My iPad mini is such a useful tool. I can take it with me wherever I go. I especially love using all the of applications that are available for my professional needs.

I really don’t like being cold, so this is one of the best gifts I have ever received! Turn it on half an hour before bedtime, and you can crawl into a warm and cozy bed. It comes with dual controls in case your hubby is always too warm like mine!
            

This smells incredible! I love to apply it followed by some warm and cozy pajamas.

A friend introduced me to pomegranate,  which I fell in love with. Dark chocolate makes it even more yummy.  This is a  great stocking stuffer.
  

I love BLING! I also love the feeling of being able to protect myself. Don’t be fooled by its girly appearance, this pepper spray packs a punch! Great gift for college girls.
  



The only thing shining this holiday season should be the lights on your tree, not your face. I love this high definition powder to keep my face from having that oily shine. Great for the pageant stage under the lights.



A new year, new goals and new you! I used these DVD’s to give me that lean physique for the pageant stage.

Program Book Cover Shoot

As I reflect on my magical year as Mrs. Colorado in 2002, one of the most incredible memories was photographing the cover for the Mrs. Colorado program book.  It felt surreal, my hair in a ornate up-do created perfectly around my sparkly crown, make up that created a flawless face, and wearing an elaborate evening gown that made me feel like a queen from the inside out. I truly felt like Cinderella as she entered the ball on that enchanted evening. What was even more incredible was seeing my picture on the cover of the program book pageant weekend.

 

We shot the program cover for DeAnna Holiday, Mrs. Ohio 2013 this past week. It was full of glamour, dreams and surprise. DeAnna started her day of glamour by getting her make up done with the fabulous and talented, Muchion Hughes from the Make Up Store.
 
 
 
Mrs. Colorado Courtney Graham and roommate at Mrs. America came to be part of the day. 
 
 
Then we headed to Timothy D’s, A Salon where the incredible DJ created a beautiful hairdo only fit for a queen.
 

 
 
Then we had to find the Mrs. Ohio banner and crown in the rental car.
 
Our final stop was the photography studio – Graphique Fine Art Photography with Megan Anderson. It was so fun to watch DeAnna work her magic in front of the camera, it brought back so many wonderful memories for me.

 

The beautiful evening gown was provided by the Raeanne Smith with the Royal Image Boutique. 
 


 
The ultimate cover will be revealed pageant weekend.  One thing I do know for certain, the cover will be unbelievable as DeAnna’s words to us at the photo shoot were, “I have faith in you all.”

Interview Suit Ideas

One of the easiest parts of the competition is interview.  Why do I say that statement?  Because it is all about you.  No one knows you better than yourself and that is the goal of the personal interview, to share yourself with the judges.  Interview competition starts with looking like the next Mrs. Ohio America 2013.
































A great form fitting sheath dress, add amazing shoes and maybe a statement piece of jewelry. Done!  Here is what you ask yourself once you have the suit on your body, 'Do I feel like Mrs. Ohio America 2013?'  Based on your answer, you are either done or not.  Happy hunting!  Also follow Mrs. Ohio America Pinterest Boards for more ideas.

Faith - The Power Of Believing That You Can

Directly taken from the book, 'Some of My Best Friends Are Beauty Queens' by Tricia Dampier.

Do you look to others for the nod of approval? Do you solicit the opinion of people before deciding to go out on a limb and try something new?  Are your self-defeating thoughts robbing you of your dreams/destiny?  Or worse yet, is someone else's negativity holding you back?  If you've answered yes to any of these questions you may want to reflect inward and look upward for the courage to believe that you can.






























This book is part memoir and part how-to, that teaches you how to summon the courage to overcome self-doubt, and take steps to conquer the fear of failure.  www.girl-speak.com
