Bertha's Road 2 Miss

About a week ago, it was Halloween and as we all know, it is the scariest time of the year. Boo!👻 From ghouls to monsters to haunted attractions, there are always mysteries that lie ahead. This is a time, where many of us push ourselves out of our comfort zone by trying something completely new and scary. Some people pay to go to a haunted attraction and others may watch scary movies with their eyes closed. Why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we put ourselves through the most scariest things during Halloween? I can tell you why! 😊We get a thrill from overcoming our fear. By walking through a haunted house alive or by watching an entire scary movie without closing our eyes, it makes us excited once it is all over. For Halloween, we face all the scariness that comes with this holiday and this is how we should face our life.😏 In life, there will always be scary moments and sometimes we may not want to face them, but we have to learn how to overcome our fears. Remember, "fear...

Click clack, click clack is the sounds of the heels walking on the hardwood floor. 👠Splish Splash, splish splash are the endless swimsuits I am wearing store after store after store. 🏊Who knew this would be a part of my lifestyle? Lately, I feel like I live at the mall lol. I've been there almost every weekend this past month. I've been looking at different heels to wear and it is so hard because there are so many to chose from. How does a woman chose one pair of heels? I can tell you, it is not easy 🤣. You know what is worst than trying on different pair of heels? looking for the right swimsuit! I've tried over dozen and dozen of swimsuits and I still feel like I can't find the one. I sound like I am looking for my husband lol . But no, seriously, when I try on my pageant's swimsuit, I want it to speak to me. I want to feel like BAM, I love it! I am still looking and hoping I have that feeling. I've gone to the mall to try my chances but nothing. I have...

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...

3 months are left until pageant weekend. Time is ticking and I still can't believe it. ⌚ This past weekend I watched the Miss America Pageant and it was amazing. I learned so much from these ladies. I was taking notes myself to prepare for the big weekend. I was so excited to watch Miss Pennsylvania compete because she is a Penn Stater. We are....Penn State! It gives me hope that maybe a Penn Stater can take the crown for Miss Pennsylvania USA, and maybe that can be me!😁😅 Now, more than ever, it has hit me that I am doing this pageant. There is no way of backing out.😊 I've started learning how to use makeup and let me tell you... there is so much too learn from it. After using simple makeup such as foundation and eye shadow, I realize it can damage your skin. When you invest into makeup, you also need to invest in skin care.💓  Normally, I don't wash my face or cleanse it because I never know what products to use. Recently, I found the product for me! I am trying ...
