Welcome to 2016!!

(Beni Bear Craft Stall)
 
We are 19 days into the new year, and I still haven't wrote a blog entry (of course January is the busiest time for personal trainers), in face I haven't wrote an entry since November!!! My new years resolution, one of them, is to be more interactive with my page and blog, so let's start by fulfilling you in!
 
It has been one jam packed 2015, so from winning Face of the Globe North England and holding my charity ball and pageant, I took a few steps back and took some time to rest. Jokes, this pageant girl never rests! First of all I helped my patron charity The Beni Bear Club with their crafty fayre! I was there with my handmade shoes and had fellow beauty queen Jade join me to help! I wasn't feeling the best but still talked to the public, all about the Rainbow Child Foundation and of course I had to buy a few bits and bobs!!

Then London was calling, even though I was travelling back from Skegness from a big weekend, I still made the effort to endure traffic jams from hell to see my bestie compete to join me and Ruth in Paris! It was the last FOTG heat as well, Georgia made Top 5!!! But sadly sponsorship is too much for her to come with us! It would of been amazing if all three would of been able to come, would of sealed our pageant journey together over the years but her wedding is just before (which I am Maid of Honour of course!!) so we can celebrate then!

If someone told me I would be in a national newspaper naked, I would of generally laughed my big but off! But it happened!! I travelled to London to talk about body confidence and stripped down to bare all for the piece!! I believe as a fuller figure woman that as long as you are happy with your shape that that's all the counts. As a personal trainer I help people lose weight, gain weight, train for different reasons but one thing I try to install in everyone is Body Confidence. It's my speciality and something that makes me slightly different.

December brought us bags and bags of sanitary needs for the homeless people of Swindon, with me and Georgia handing over 8 boxes worth! It makes me so happy that my work helped, I had lots of donations and was a struggle trying to bring them all in! We donated them to the Threshold Homeless Shelter, which is based in Swindon  Town. With the cold weather, we also had blankets and coats, and of course socks! The one thing that we all think about but never donate!!

January started with a bang into the charity world, I travelled to London with my Patron charity to be a princess for a special little girl's birthday! There was a bouncy castle!!! As well as the frozen princesses! Overall it was a great day, as well as cake!!
 
 
We also made it into the Swindon Advertiser for the Beni Bear Club!! It truly is a great charity which is local and needs your help! Whether it be buying one of the super cool bears that are made (I have three now and really want a pokemon one!) or attend one of our events! Every little counts!!!
 
So the Paris finals are drawing closer and closer, I still have no ballgown or evening gown, I need to fundraise more and try and keep fit (although there is a charity spinathon and I have been covering classes, I don't think my legs will ever feel the same!) for the fitness round! I just want to make top ten of it so I get a big medal which I will be hanging next to my PT profile!!! If anyone has any ideas of how to help me, through attending events, dresses or just want to chat, holla at a princess!!!

Lots of love
