Magic Tree House Book Club

I founded the Magic Tree House Book Club at my local library. At weekly meetings, I discuss the book with the children, ask discussion questions, and lead crafts and games related to that week's book. This past week, I wore my crown and sash to the book club meeting! You can check out my other blog at magictreehousebookclub.blogspot.com to see what we've been doing at each meeting and maybe get some ideas for starting your own Magic Tree House Book Club!

Fiesta Days

This weekend, July 10th and 11th, I volunteered all day at Fiesta Days in Camarillo with Jennifer Marshall (Mrs. Ventura County Intl 2012), Allison Bowman (Miss Ventura County Intl 2012), Tatiana Juarez (Junior Miss Ventura County Intl 2012), and Bryana Inouye (1st runner up in Miss Teen Ventura County Intl). We modeled dresses from Alayna's Bridal and Formals and passed out flyers for the store. I also had the opportunity to talk to girls about our community service pageant and see if they would be interested in competing in March. Although we all worked hard, the day was also a lot of fun! During our break, Tatiana Juarez, Bryana Inouye, and I went on a few of the rides and went shopping. I bought a necklace that has a real four-leaf clover inside it. Hopefully my necklace will bring me lots of luck when I compete at the state pageant!

White House Black Market Fashion Show

On Friday, June 17th at 7pm, the audience sat in their seats and music began to play as the White House Black Market Fashion Show began. Jennifer Marshall (Mrs. Ventura County Intl 2012), Allison Bowman (Miss Ventura County Intl 2012), and I were getting our make up done, curling our hair, and putting on our first outfit. I modeled five different outfits in the fashion show - four from White House Black Market and one from Soma. All the clothes were super cute, and I was thrilled to see my family, friends, and pageant director in the audience as I walked down the catwalk. Overall, it was an amazing experience.
