Jan 9th-Jan 15th - Miss New York USA Preparations!

On Thursday I went to my incredible sponsor Scott Miller to get my eyebrows done for the pageant. They are the best at shaping the brows without making them thin and then filling them in naturally! Later at home I got my swimsuit for the pageant and made sure that it fit well. I also tried on my interview outfit which I put together of wardrobe pieces from different stores, (I have to give credit to Mike for helping me pick out the shirt and blazer)!

(Not the best picture of it but just to get an idea)

The next day Mike's sister and husband came with me to pick out my hair extensions. I loved what they chose and Scott Miller cut them to make them blend in with my hair. Later I did more research for the pageant on anything that I thought could be asked in interview including New York State facts.


Over the weekend my Mom and I went to Scott Miller to get massages because I wanted one before the pageant to relax and help my posture (it may be somewhat of an excuse but I think that it helps haha). Back at home my Mom made vegetable soup and we baked biscuits mmmm!


That night Mike came home from Peru! I was so happy that his trip went well and that he was back home! The next morning Mike, Scott and I went to the archery range!


Later I brought my pageant gown to the Thimble Tailor to get it steamed before I left! Then I got a spray tan done so that I would have color but also have time for it to fade and look more natural. On Tuesday Mike and I brought Massimo to the veterinarian for a check-up and then I did more research for the pageant. The next day I went to Scott Miller to finish getting ready to leave for the pageant! They were beyond generous giving me makeup lessons, blowdrying my hair, putting in extensions and doing my nails! 


That night Mike's family and some of our friends went out to eat at Hose 22! It was so nice to go out for a nice dinner and feel so much support from everyone before I was leaving for the pageant!


Thank you everyone for the love and support not just before the pageant but always! After dinner I made sure that I had everything packed and I tried to get a good sleep before leaving the next day!
