In honor of River Days this week, I thought I’d share a little fun fact about me and take a trip down memory lane. 🥹👑✨
Five years ago, in 2021, I had the honor of being crowned Miss River Days Queen! To this day, I still have clients tell me, “I know you from somewhere…” and then a few minutes later ask, “Wait… were you in River Days?!” 😂 It always makes me laugh, but I also love that five years later, this chapter of my life is still something people remember.
River Days will always hold such a special place in my heart. It was so much more than a crown, a sash, or a pageant for me. The scholarships I received actually played a huge part in helping me get started in my career and ultimately build the business I have today. 🤍
But even beyond that, River Days helped shape me into the woman I am today. It pushed me outside of my comfort zone, helped me discover strengths in myself that I didn’t even know I had, and showed me just how much I was capable of. Looking back at these pictures now, knowing everything that has happened in the five years since, makes me so incredibly grateful for that season of my life. 🥹
To all of the contestants competing this year, I am wishing you the absolute BEST of luck! Soak up every single second and every opportunity this pageant brings you. Meet the people, make the memories, step outside your comfort zone, and allow yourself to grow through it all. You truly never know what doors this experience may open or how much it may shape the person you become.
Here’s to River Days week and all the sweet memories that come along with it! Who are you cheering for?!?💗👑
