Hometown Photoshoot! :)

There is nothing better than finally having a photoshoot shot in my hometown :) Usually I drive a couple of hours to get to our shooting location, but the other day I had the opportunity of having one downtown and 5 minutes away from my house with Shaundi Kane :) (well also in surrounding towns lol) Here are some of my favorites!

Final Miss Teen USA hair & makeup touches!! :O

Well everybody, as we know Miss Teen USA is RIGHT around the corner!! The other day I went in for my final meet with my hair sponsor (the infamous Neil) over at Persona Boston to touch my hair up a little bit, and then went to visit the lovely Rita (my makeup sponsor over at Neiman Marcus) where she helped me out with my final makeup lesson! It's so exciting that everything is starting to come together! I can't wait to make New Hampshire proud!! :)

Ulta's Grand Opening in Keene

As my first appearance in my actual hometown, I was so happy to have helped Ulta at their grand opening! I handed out gift certificates to the first 100 people with my girl Madison (Vermont Teen), and walked around to meet new people! I met some of the most ADORABLE children that were tagging along with their parents and even ran into former Miss Vermont USA from '94! I highly suggest everyone checks out their store because it looked like heaven to me. Madison (Miss Vermont Teen USA)'s mom even won the $100 gift certificate on Friday! Someone's VERY lucky and has an awesome new collection for Miss Teen USA!! :O So jealous!

MDA's Camp Allen! :))

The other day I had the time of my life in Bedford at Camp Allen! Everybody working there, going there, or helping out there was SO sweet and were all so friendly and easy to get along with! I spent the majority of my time with the campers playing with marshmallow guns and having a marshmallow fight ;) SO funny!! We all had such a good time! I met a lot of amazing people and also met some foreign helpers that recently came to the US a few days ago! Apparently they noticed America's love for cheese and barbecuing, and our tea doesn't taste as good?! ;p They were all hilarious and it was interested sharing our different ways/cultures! Thank you MDA for having me and I can't wait to work with you in the future!

Local Humane Society Walk

A couple of weeks ago I had one of my first appearances that was actually close to home!! I helped out at the Humane Society Walk about 15 minutes away from my own home and I had a blast! I got to greet the walkers and there animals as they came back to the "finish line" and later on I got to draw the raffle tickets for all of the prizes. This was an amazing appearance and I absolutely LOVED meeting all of the little animals :) Thank you for the shirt!!

 

 

 

MISS USA in Baton Rouge!!

I had SO much fun in Baton Rouge for Miss USA last month!! The teens that were there also got to dance in the aisles for their opening number! How cool is that?! All my friends and family back home even told me they saw me dancing on NBC with my dance buddy (Lauren from Arkansas)!

Everyone down there was so sweet and I truly experienced some awesome southern hospitality! A huuuuuge thank you to my girl Olivia (Virginia Teen) and her director as well for letting me room with them last minute since my room at the other hotel was flooded out! :O I ran into Melissa Peterman (Barbara Jean from the amazing show REBA) in the bathroom, got to meet our boss man Mr. Donald Trump, AND got to see Marc Broussard, and FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE perform!!

Definitely have a story to tell from down there! ;) Congratulations to Nia Sanchez for winning Miss USA, and I am BEYOND proud of all my New England girls- they all looked STUNNING!
