Queen for a Day!

Queen for a Day is an organization that caters to pediatric cancer patients. It give these children one day to be queen/king over their cancer! During the event we pamper the girls by giving them "makeovers" with nail polish and lipstick, they also get to play dress up in costumes of their choosing. The great thing about the event was that the girls were given sashes (donated from www.sashedesigns.com) and a crown of their own to keep. The boys were "crowned" with firefighter hats and a sash that labeled them as "kings", they were not considered queens for a day but "Heroes for a Day". The Dallas fire department came to show the children their fire truck, and to talk about being a real hero! It was such a good time to get these children's mind off the other issues that they are dealing with. I had crowns that were sitting on my shelves collecting dust, I was honored to donate 3 of them to young patients that will treasure it. If any former queens have crowns that are not being used, please think of contacting your local "Queen for a Day" and donating them to a pediatric patient, it will definitely bring a smile to their face! :) www.qfad.org

Emcee for the Building Inner Beauty Pageant

What I love about the Building Inner Beauty program is that they teach young girls the importance of what is on the inside, and that through that they can shine on the outside. It starts with self confidence and the way that you treat others, it is about making a lasting impression when you first meet someone, it is about making eye contact and smiling even when things don't go your way, it is about how you make other feel that will be remembered. Crissy Garcia makes it her mission to see that young girls get the basis of these ideas, so that they can grow up knowing that they can do whatever they set their minds to and not to listen to any doubt that may come to them in the form of themselves or other people. I was honored to emcee the event with my co-host P.O.K. for the 2nd annual year. I have been involved with this organization through its inception and was glad to be a part of it again! At the end I was even honored with a honorary Miss Inner Beauty Award! I am so proud of our new winners! More pictures to follow!
