Upon receiving my official title of Miss Greater Oklahoma City USA 2011, I opted to create a new blog site with a more easily followed and recognizable web address. So here it is! September has been a fabulous month so far and as each day passes, I can feel the excitement building for the Miss Oklahoma USA 2011 pageant in November. A few updates:
I competed in my very first fitness competition, Darrell Terrell's Total Package NPC Bodybuilding Competition and Hot Body Fitness Modeling contest and am thrilled to say I took home third place! My goal for the competition was to place so I was so excited to reach my goal. Since my commitment to train for and compete in the show back in May 2010, I have made a total body transformation culminating in an overall weight loss of 25 lbs. That commitment was what really opened doors for me to chase my dreams in modeling and now pageants, and I am so grateful of all of those that helped me make that life changing decision and reach my goals so far.
A special thanks to Darrell Terrell, Dawn Haffner, and each and every other kind, thoughtful, and selfless person that helped me find my true self and helped me learn to set my goals high. Because of your efforts, my has never been better and there is nothing but blue skies ahead!
Update Number 2! I have been test shooting left and right doing my best to prepare for my long awaited interview with Kim Dawson Agency in Dallas, TX coming up in less than two weeks! I feeling nervous and excited, and after my recent fitness success, I feel like I have prepared my body, mind, and self to the best of my ability to be considered for such a prestigious modeling agency. I will give it my best shot and after that, it is in God's hands! I trust that He will make whatever is best for me, happen for me, and in light of that truth I continue forward eager to see what He has store for me next.
I would like to thank the photographers I have so far test shot with to prepare for this and other opportunities in the future.

I am happy to finally take the opportunity to highlight one of my very best (not to mention very first!) sponsor companies, The Body Wrap Spalon!
At their main location in Northwest Oklahoma City on May between Britton and 63rd (across from Ted's!) Tiffany Lenox and Dana Carter as well as the rest of the fabulous women of the Spalon do an incredible job helping each and every individual that walks through their doors find and "Be your OWN kind of beautiful." This empowering phrase, which has become one of the main foundations of my run for Miss Oklahoma USA 2011, is beautifully crafted on a plaque sitting on the welcome desk as well as reflected in each and every service offered to their clients.
From a variety guaranteed inch loss slim wraps (featured on programs like the Tyra Banks Show and Doctors,) to rejuvinating facials, massages, and foot detox treatments, The Body Wrap Spalon has everything you could possibly need, want, or imagine to find and "Be your OWN kind of Beautiful." Tiffany and Dana's dedication to "your own beauty" is evident in every elegant detail of the business including the exclusive organic slim wrap formula used.
There is never a day I don't leave the Spalon feeling better than when I walk in. The entire staff works together for each clients success and satisfaction.

9 weeks away from the pageant and counting! I am already in great debt to my good friends and fellow competitors Michelle Bruffett and Carolyn O'Connor for their help this far. I am so blessed to have friends bent and determined on building you up even when you can't manage it yourself! Thank you girls.
Today I was lucky enough to meet with the beautiful and inspirational Laci Scott, Miss Oklahoma USA 2005. She really is one of my biggest role models and I always look to her work when I need inspiration. We enjoyed and really pleasant chat at Starbucks this afternoon about the pageant, modeling, and a few things in between! I can honestly say Laci is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the out, and I am honored to continue working and preparing with her.
Keep checking back as I continue my search for sponsors and do my best to create a winning team! Each week leading up to the pageant I will feature one of my sponsor team member's business on this blog site. If you, your business, or anyone you may know is interested in joining me on the road to Miss Oklahoma USA 2011, please do not hesitate to contact me via Facebook or by email at britttL@hotmail.com
I look forward to working with all of you and want to thank you ahead of time for all of your unfailing efforts to help me achieve my dreams.
Until next time, do something to make somebody smile today and glorify God in all you do with all of you!
-xoxo-
Brittany
