It seems like I just did an update for last week, and POOF! It’s time for another!

Last week, I found out I was going to film a feature interview for a mentoring conference that’s taking place in a few weeks in California. Lindsey Clifford wrote a book called “Make A Difference Mentoring Woman to Woman,” and the book featured my relationship with my Aunt Jennifer. Jennifer helped me get through the difficult time in my life right after the rape. So on Saturday, Lindsey flew to Phoenix, and Jen and I taped an interview with her so she can use it in her conference. She wanted me to be there in person in California, but unfortunately, I have two appearances that day. So filming it was… and we had a great time! I can’t wait to see how it comes out.

I also did an interview with The State Press, the newspaper that ASU produces. The article is going to run on Thursday, October 12, in The State Press Magazine. There is also an article coming out in The Arizona Republic about an event I’m doing this weekend, so that’ll keep you posted on what’s coming up.

Okay, these blogs have been pretty tame, so I have to mention something that everyone I tell seems to find funny. Everyone asks about “pageant beauty tips,” so I’m going to divulge one of mine. I went today and got my eyebrows threaded… yes, that’s right, threaded. It’s really cool… somehow, Joy Morjaria (otherwise known as the Eyebrow Threading Wonder) uses a piece of thread to shape my eyebrows. I’ve been going to her for about 8 months now, and it’s just phenomenal. No more over-tweezing or painful waxing… yay!

So there you have it… Miss Arizona’s beauty recommendation of the day and some highlights of my week! I have a lot of appearances coming up, so I’ll fill you in again soon.

Talk to you soon!
