Cool Mama's & Colors 4 Hope

This past weekend, my sister queens and I helped out at Colors 4 Hope 5K run/race in Travelers Rest to support the Mental Health of America and Children's Miracle Network. It was loads of fun! There were local bands, artists, venders, food providers and so much to do in the area we had designated for us. It was a huge success!

Right afterwords, Miss Travelers Rest and I, went to her car and got ready for our second appearance that day! (2/3) I love always having my Momma K and 'twin' around when having to be places. They make sure I'm always on point before I walk out the door!(or car...) It's such a fantastic bonding experience with other girls that I have the honor to meet and form relationships with. The Miss South Carolina program has made me grow so much and mature into watching my own role models, the Miss and also becoming one from the great examples the Miss America Organization gives me. I am so thankful for these experiences I get to have with them. Lots of love.! 

Once we were ready, Madison and I drove to Cool Mama's Ice Cream shop's grand opening in downtown TR! It smelled absolutely delicious, and it was PINK. I loved it before I even tasted the ice cream! I got to sample some very neat flavors and definitely left with a favorite. I was so glad to see that the shop was pet friendly. Dogs are welcome in with their Doggie Sundae . I got to speak to so many people about Paws4Cause and hand out my cards! Definitely so encouraging meeting so many people with a similar passion to mine! #paws4cause 

Post Workshop Weekend

Wow! I can't believe that workshop weekend is over(well, has been..sorry about the slack. Making it up I promise! ;) I have to say, it was an overwhelming, exciting yet stressful three days in Colombia! And that isn't even the competition week! I absolutely loved the Embassy, the food there was amazing and I really liked the entire setup. Good job, Miss SC! Perfect location for us girls, and a in hotel gym. I know I will be using that during the week of comp.! I really liked all the venders, getting to know a lot of other girls, Miss and Teen and just getting closer with my team. Those girls mean the world to me and I would never trade them for another! They are so supportive and kind with everything we do during this journey. My princess was such a great sport during all the meetings, long nights and lots of chatter. Very proud of her. I couldn't have asked for a better year to go Miss South Carolina Teen 2015. Miss American 2009, was such an inspirational speaker and I loved every minute of her! I was so glad to have her speak at the conferences on Saturday.
