National HIV/AIDS Testing Day

Image
This past Saturday I had the opportunity to help out at Volusia County Health Departments program for National Testing Day for HIV/AIDS in which they were doing free 20 minute rapid test to anyone who wanted one. I was able to answer any questions that came my way about HIV/AIDS and the Miss Florida USA system. Which for me was a great chance to explain my platform of bringing the education about HIV/AIDS back to the spotlight and helping to get more people tested. There is certainly a stigma attached to who everyone thinks contracts the disease and I'm here to tell you that's not true. Only a week until I leave for Miss Florida USA getting excited. <3 MMC2011<3

Seminar Weekend

Just got back from seminar day in Hollywood, Florida and it was a blast. The sessions were very informative and all of the girls are really nice that I met so far. Today, I participated in the last shooting for the prize package for Miss Florida USA 2011. I was able to model the pearl necklace that the winner receives and being an AKA myself it wasn't hard. Driving home wasn't that much of a blast due to the heavy thunderstorms but I made it home safely. Little less than a month before the pageant and I'm starting to get really excited. I started a fundraiser page (giveforward.org/alowery) to hopefully earn enough money to get a really nice dress. Check it out if you like. I'm attaching my promo photo for the jewelry enjoy!! <2 MMCUSA2011<3

VEGASSSSSS!!!

So Vegas was interesting to say the least. The pageant was great, well run and the winner was gorgeous. I was there for five days, I went to a comedy club, tried my hand at gambling and actually won 20 bucks!!! I met up with one of my friends that moved out there and actually climbed a mini mountain. The view outside of the city is amazing and I recommend visiting Vegas at least once. It is very much an adult playground.
