Hello Gorgeous!
Today-in Las Vegas Nevada is the 2012 Miss America pageant!
It's a scholarship pageant where the best and brightest compete to take home the crown, the title, and honor of serving as Miss America.
Please see this beautiful, smiling face and remember to Tweet your support for her during the competition on Saturday evening.

Below is a video where you can see her at: :18, :1:19, and in the spunky red bikini at 3:19!


Now you may be thinking-oh, Miss Arizona Jennifer Sedler has a perfect tan because she lives in Arizona!
Well-maybe, but it's really, highly possible that the amazing talent of Kelly Richardson and her team from Sonoma Tanning have brought along the pageant secret to a flawless tan that doesn't smudge,budge, streak or turn orange!

Be Bronze Sunless Tanning mist actually has a safe aerosol product called Pageant Perfect. I've personally tried it and love the color, the lack of DHA laden scent, plus it dried and developed quickly into a rich golden brown on my skin.
I have a YouTube video of me demonstrating a test with the product-but no need to look there now-I want to focus on the 2012 Miss America Contestants at Planet Hollywood this Saturday.

The ladies have been there all week preparing for the competition on Saturday. Please watch, tweet, facebook or do whatever social media you do to support our local home town girl Miss Jennifer Sedler!

And if you want to look like a beauty queen-just get some Be Bronze!

Lost Dutchmen Days rodeo is coming up in February and the new rodeo queen is a young lady from Golden Valley Arizona. You know, when I was a young lass still in my teens I too, was a beauty queen. My mom was a beauty queen. My aunts were beauty queens, and even my own cousin was a rodeo beauty queen.

These pageants have so much to give to a young lady starting out-confidence and scholarship money is such a small part of it. The real focus is on community service.

Congratulations to you Cristyn Peacock!

Being a beauty queen is a lot of work, and spending uncountable hours backstage at pageants, and this week at Miss America. I often wonder how these girls get “pageant perfect”. Some of the best tips and secrets I’ve picked up over the years can help you get fabulous skin (in your own home).

· Make a regime and stick to it, analyze your skin every few months to ensure that you are getting the results you desire, and to adjust for seasonal climate changes.

· Pimples! I’m not going to tell you not to do your own extraction, because we all do it. Immediately after you perform your surgery, apply Neosporin, or another triple anti-biotic cream. This helps to kill the bacteria, and keep your skin from having bad acne scars in the future.

· One of the first parts of the body to show illness and lack of sleep is the eyes. If you are running a hectic schedule and don’t have the time to kick back with cucumber slices. Slice them a bit thinner and they will stick to your eyes as you multi-task.

· Keep a makeup kit in your purse. I know it is one more thing to lug around, but a quick mini-makeover with a fresh coat of mascara and lipstick will do wonders for your face and your attitude. This kit should have at the very least: nail file, mascara, makeup remover wipes, lipstick, blush, comb, hair brush, and lip gloss.

· Exfoliate and Moisturize. It is very important to exfoliate regularly and keep a good moisturizer on hand and a good lip balm for your lips.

· Hydrate. Avoid coffee, energy drinks, and soda. Drink water (add lime, lemon, and orange slices for flavor), and hydrate the body from within.

· Sunscreen….use it daily…or else!
