Progression- Phase 1


I have about 3 months left till I get on stage and compete for Miss PA USA! Just thinking about it makes me nervous and excited at the same time.😀 Who knows? I mightl be the next Miss PA USA!👑

During these 3 months, I have to prepare, prepare, and prepare. I can't get tired of preparation. As the pageant is getting closer, I am more than ever dedicated to do all that I can to win it! (I will still be happy even if I place)

People have asked me: how is the pageant preparation coming along? Honestly...... it is not easy. Preparation takes time, dedication and consistency. Those things can be hard to juggle when you work a full time job.

Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying every part of this pageant experience. Every step I take, I learn something new and I meet someone new. If we look at this past month, I have accomplished many things, but it is never enough. Think about it, if you want to be the best, you have to work night and day to be the best!👏



During this past month, I have been focusing on myself by being a healthier me. Each week I try to meal prep, which takes time and dedication. I also try to go to the gym regularly or attend fitness classes. On top of that, I have been talking to past pageant winners to get their advice on how I should prepare for this pageant. I have been very fortunate to talk to some amazing individuals. I talked to Miss New Jersey USA, who was the 1st runner up for Miss USA 2017! I also talked to Miss Northern Virginia 2017, who has an abundant amount of experiences in pageants. These ladies have been very helpful in my journey. They are kind of my pageant mentors lol 

Also, I am learning how to use makeup. 🙋I have to be glamorous on the day of the pageant! I went to a Sephora store with my cousin, Iris, and it was so overwhelming. There were hundreds of options to choose from. I give props to people who know how to do makeup. I need to get on your level lol😅

So, if you are still wondering how I am doing along my pageant journey? I will say I am taking it one step at a time and I will be ready for the day when it comes! Just watch me.😊

With love,
Bertha 💗💜💙💖

Throughout these past couple of weeks, I've struggle with writing my blog and everything else. 🙁 As the pageant is only a couple of months away, you would think I would be determine more than ever to compete? Right? Unfortunately, it hasn't been feeling like that lately. It is interesting how everything is interconnected. At my job, I am a consultant and as a consultant, you are always looking for your next project, but it can take some time to find it. So recently, I was on the bench for a couple of weeks and I did enjoy it at first, but it started to drag on. Being on the bench can be plain boring because you are not really putting your knowledge to good use. (At least that is the way I see it, some may disagree) On the bench, I was proactively looking for my next role, but I was getting no responses so I started loosing hope in trying to find my next role. Weeks and weeks would past by and I still had nothing.😢 Looking back, I didn't realize how much work affect

Vulnerability is Dope!...... said by Jiggy Yoon

Thank you for joining me again for another blog. Sorry for the delay in posting this one. I appreciate every viewer who looks forward to my weekly blogs. 😀I wouldn’t be telling my story if it weren’t for all of you. You all push me to expand my horizons and write my story. (I know I am not the best writer, but I am trying lol)😃 This blog is going to be a little different compared to some of the others I have written in the past. I want to give a shout out to one of my good friends Jiggy Yoon.  As a motivational speaker, she encourages people to be vulnerable. Her most powerful message is “ Vulnerability is Dope. ” 👍 When I first heard Jiggy’s message “Vulnerability is Dope,” it made me realize that as a society we need to embrace vulnerability more. People view vulnerability as a weakness, when in reality, it is a strength . Sometimes it is hard to allow ourselves to be vulnerable. " Vulnerability is Dope" shirt from Jiggy Yoon. As I embark on this jo

Hello everyone!! 😃 Thank you for joining me on this journey to Miss PA! I hope you are all able to read my weekly post! I think this is a great way for people to know my personal experience with this pageant. Some people may think this is all roses and rainbows, but it is so much more than that. There are some bumps along the road. So if you are interested in hearing about my journey to Miss PA, you are in the right spot! Continue reading..... Many times individuals focus on the destination of their goal, but not the journey. I want to change that mentality and focus on this new and challenging journey. The reason I created this blog is to hopefully inspire some one out there to follow their dreams. I want you all to know that following your dreams can lead to some bumps, but you have to overcome those and look at the bigger picture. My favorite quote of all times is "For every thunderstorm, there is a beautiful rainbow." Who would have ever thought that I would b
