Hi loves!! I am currently soaring at 36,000 ft in the sky back home to Chicago. I had a wonderful few days in Kissimmee, Florida, judging a few different competitions! First was American Beauty, a multi-divisional pageant starting as young as 4 years old (Tiny Miss) all the way to 50+ (Elite); a total of 9 divisions + national titles! This was my second year Judging AB and also Miss US International! Miss US International is the official USA preliminary for Miss International, which is one of the largest and most prestigious international pageants; I’d say it’s in the top three along with Miss Universe & Miss World. The winner will be competing for the title of Miss International this winter in Japan alongside 70ish other women from around the world. What was extra exciting about this year is that we crowned two winners! The director obtained franchise rights to send a US delegate to Miss Supranational as well this year, which will take place in Poland.
A huge huge congratulations to Allyn Rose, Atlantic Coast, on becoming Miss US Supranational 2014 & Samantha Brooks, California, on your new title of Miss US International 2014. Best of luck overseas!!!

And now of course a little recap of my outfits! I dont have any photos from the morning/afternoon events and competitions mostly because I was too tired but here are my two evening looks if you missed them on Instagram!
Prelims night:

| This lippy is to dieee for!! It’s become my absolute favorite after the first time i used it! Wet n Wild “Bare it All” The formula is so creamy and long lasting but it’s still a matte finish without being drying. I need to purchase every shade! |
