Last week I had yet another great photo with Avrian Levy and Jaquelyn of Makeup by Jacquelyn. A big thank you to Jackie and Avrian for the beautiful photos! The day after my photo shoot, I headed off to Lynchburg, Virginia to the StandOut Productions State Titleholder retreat led by Chelsea Cooley Altman and AT Dunn. 26 Miss USA contestants attended and 22 Miss Teen USA contestants attended as well. I loved getting to meet so many of the girls before Las Vegas in May and am even more excited to be able to stand among so many amazing women when we do get to that stage! Overall, the retreat was one of the best and most memorable weekends of my life! We did everything from rock climbing, to zip lining, to climbing a pole and taking the leap of faith, to horseback riding and roller hockey. All of this tested us mentally and I departed with a renewed mindset with which to head off to Miss USA. A big thank you to Chelsea and AT for everything! Thanks to them, I am ready to go to Miss USA stronger than ever before!
