Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade

(At the hotel before the parade)

Hello Readers!
First of all, Happy Holidays to everyone! I hope you are having fun celebrating this beautiful time of year. One thing I really love about the holidays is the parades. This year I had the opportunity to be in the Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

I pulled some stats about it from the website:

• "More than 1,000,000 cheering spectators along the 12 mile route have transformed the Winterfest Boat Parade into not only the largest, one-day, live audience of any event in Florida, but also the seventh largest one-day spectator event in the country!"

• "The International Festival and Events Association has named Winterfest one of the top 20th Parades in the World; with over 50,000 parades in the United States alone, this is a huge international honor which places Winterfest in the prestigious company of the Macy’s, Mardi gras, Rose Bowl and Disney Parades."

• "In addition, Winterfest was just named by Readers Digest as “100 Best in America” which lists the top events in the United States."

As many of you know, I am a model for a couture line of clothing called "Franovik Designs." This year I was on their boat in the parade. Franovik Designs is a sustainable line of clothing that makes couture clothing from recycled materials. The two designers Victor and Francisco are incredible designers and also two very good friends of mine. I was so honored to be on their boat!

As you can see by the picture to the left, we definitely needed an umbrella on saturday. It rained on and off the WHOLE night. (That's South Florida for ya'). However, we were extremely lucky. First of all, our boat had a covered area that we could go under while we waited for the rain to stop. Secondly, by the time our boat was scheduled to go in the parade, the rain had stopped and we were able to head out onto the deck and wave to all the screaming spectators. It was such a fun night!

Fun tid bit:
The two Grand Marshalls of the parade were Kim Kardashian and Alonzo Mourning!




Most importantly, we just had SUCH a great time! I definitely enjoyed seeing all the gorgeous estates on the 12 mile route down the river, and all the boats were decorated so beautifully! It was definitely a sight to be seen! Check your local listings for airings of the parade. It is even televised internationally!

Ps. if you are reading this, THANK YOU VICTOR AND FRANCISCO FOR TAKING ME!!!! I miss you already and I had such a great time!

I am going to leave you with just a couple more pictures. These pictures are definitely my favorite. It just shows how much fun we had!






As always, thanks for stopping by!

Clean the World Foundation Benfit Dinner

I just got back from the "Clean the World Foundation" benefit dinner tonight. As many of you may know, Clean the World Foundation is my personal platform as Miss Teen Earth United States. Watch the video to hear about how we got paired up!

I can honestly say that this is just such a truly amazing foundation. We are really doing such big things. To think that we started in only February of this year, and we have grown so much! We have already completed 2 trips to Haiti and will be going back early in the coming year. In total we have collected 250 TONS of soap. 250 TONS! That is insane! We are making such big progress but of course we still need help. It is so important to us to get out in the world and save lives using recycled soap.

Think about this: currently, soap is the ONLY product recycled that can actually SAVE HUMAN LIVES. Not only that, but we can save 3.5 million lives a year! It is so simple.. hotels throw about thousands of tons of soap each day left behind by guests. Instead, hotels partner with Clean the World and join our recycling program. We then cleanse the soap and prepare it to be shipped out to impoverished nations where the soap is quite literally a medicinal blessing.

How can you help?
Easy. Anyone can get involved! Start a soap drive in your community. Spread the word on facebook, twitter, or through email.

More importantly, visit the website: www.cleantheworld.org

I cannot explain how much I have been truly touched to see how I have been able to make a difference in the lives of others. It is honestly such a wonderful feeling and I really encourage everyone to get involved in some way. We can change history; we can save lives!!!
