Save The Gulf Jewelry

Hi Readers!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I currently am selling the jewelry shown to the left.

The bracelets and earrings are all handmade by me. I am selling the jewelry to help raise money to save the Gulf of Mexico, as well as the wildlife that has been affected. I will be donating 100% of the proceeds to the effort.

I would appreciate it so much for you all to help out by ordering a bracelet from me.

I am asking for a $15 minimum donation for the bracelelt or earrings. Of course if your heart leads you to give more it would be greatly appreciated.

Again the jewelry is all made by me and I have really put my heart and soul into this project.

Feel free to email me at joliens@bellsouth.net if you would like to purchase this. All transactions can be made through paypal.

PLEASE HELP ME SAVE THE GULF OF MEXICO!

With Love,

BP Oil Spill

The BP Oil Spill has been officially labeled the worst ecological disaster in history. As Miss Teen Earth United States; an advocate for environmental awareness, an advocate for protecting our Earth, an advocate for alternative energy.... you can only imagine the rage that this has caused within me.

For 2 months now I have been watching the news everyday hoping for a miracle, hoping that there would be some positivity in sight. I am heart broken everyday as attempts to clean up the spill are not successful. Newest reports label the end to be no sooner than August 1st, 2 months from now!




Today the news has reported that the oil will begin to spill onto Florida's beaches.

This officially hits home for me.

I have always grown up at the beach. My whole life I have never been more than an hour's drive. I have spent endless vacations in the sand and even spent an entire summer living right on the beach last year.

The beach is a place of serenity, peace, relaxation, and beauty to me; NOT a place for toxic waste!



The most unfortunate aspect of this situation is that what's done has been done. The rig has already exploded, the oil has already infiltrated the ocean, over 522 birds have already been found dead and covered in oil.

I hope that this will be a rude awakening to ALL POLITICIANS in our country that IT IS TIME to start investing more in alternative energy.



We need to make a move away from drilling. Drilling over in foreign countries ended up hurting us. Drilling offshore ended up contaminating our ocean.

Lets adopt eco-friendly alternative energy that we can produce right in the United States!

I hope that if anything, this disaster will help us prepare better for the future.


We need to ban together as a country to help clean up this mess. Its far too easy to place the responsibility on BP alone but when it comes down to it, a disaster of SUCH EPIC PROPORTION is going to require the work of BP, our National Government, Non-Profit Organizations, and the help of everyone who lives in this country!

Additionally, lets not let this happen again!

We need to begin to move in a more positive direction in order to preserve our Earth and the wildlife that shares our Home.

California Girls!

WOAH!

Summer is already beginning to FLY BY! I hope that everyone is enjoying the warm weather, the sunshine, and all the beauty that summer has to offer.

Summer is my favorite season and I felt so lucky to start my summer off in the most memorable way possible. I had the opportunity to begin my summer with a trip to LOS ANGELES! It was my first time out in LA and it was an amazing first experience.

It was a fun filled trip with my pageant family which included reuniting with my beautiful sister queen and the Miss Earth United States family.






The primary business of our trip out to California was to do a beach cleanup in Long Beach.

With the aftermath of the BP oil spill, it is more in my heart than ever to protect the beauty of our beaches. The white sand and the beautiful blue ocean is such a precious gift that we should treasure and protect.






I was proud to be part of the cleanup in Long Beach and I would like to encourage all people who live near the coast to do your part and help cleanup our beaches!

If your headed out to the beach this summer follow these cheap tips for being eco friendly on your beach day:

Opt for
- Reusable water bottles
- "Bambuware Sporks" as opposed to plastic silverware.
They are made naturally from bamboo which is both
disposable and completely biodegradable.
- "Preserve" plateware makes plates from 100% recycled
plastic, making it eco friendly and reusable!

As a sidenote, which should be a no brainer, make a concious effort to dispose of trash and recycle all plastic ware! The sand is not your garbage can!!!!



On top of our event, the weekend was also filled with some of the best sight seeing that California has to offer.

First Stop: The WORLD FAMOUS Santa Monica Beach Pier!

As a Florida native I am in LOVE with the beach. I have always considered it my place of serenity. The view of the West Coast, from the pier, was unlike anything I have ever seen. The sand is perfectly white and the deep blue of the waves crashes subtly against the shore. All the while, the mountains in the distance create a backdrop to the most perfect coastal view I have ever seen!

We even had time to ride the roller coaster on the pier! It was such a blast!!!!





Then it was off to HOLLYWOOD!

First stop; Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive.

We had a chance to take some pictures in the park outside of Beverly Hills and do some shopping on Rodeo drive.








Then we got a chance to strut our stuff on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

I had the opportunity to see the Kodak Theater and the stars of some of the most famous people who have ever lived!

In the picture to the left is me kneeling by Michael Jackson's star, who I believe is definitely one of the best artists of all time. RIP Michael Jackson

It was so awesome to be able to see some of the most famous sights in the country. It was definitely a very memorable weekend and I would like to thank my pageant family for all of the hospitality that they showed me while I was there!

I love you guys!


I would also like to give photo credit to Debbie Sutphen! I miss you Aunt Deb!
