Since my last post a handful of events have been going on!
1. My last two months have been taken over with softball. We have traveled to Florida for a spring break trip, and all over the Midwest (Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin). Each weekend is taken up with games while during the week we have practices on top of my homework, classes, prep for Miss Iowa!
2. If you haven't already known 'World Down Syndrome Day' was March 21st and I got to be a little creative with some fun socks!
3. I am still looking for some help to raise money for my Miss Iowa funds, I need to raise a total of 250.00 for Miss Iowa which is on top of my 100.00 raise for Miss Muscatine! I would love to have your love and support to help me through my Miss Iowa process! Anything would be greatly appreciated! :)
4. I had a huge help with my hair for Miss Iowa. This appointment was to prep me up for my shots for Miss Iowa program book. With the help of those at A- new- U in Muscatine, I got to change up my hair for a little bit more brightness! Check it out!
5.Thanks to my best friend for hooking me up with a healthy lunch! Everyone should check out NutriSport& Smoothie in the Cedar Rapids area! SO DELICIOUS and healthy!
🍌loved my wrap and smoothie!!! #healthy #swimsuit
Before heading back to school, I had to stop in at Start To Finish Nutrition in Muscatine to grab breakfast! I had my aloe shot, AP tea and nutter butter shake! Beyond delicious! I always have to make time to get my shake when I'm in Muscatine! I also got a couple hydrate packets to help me through my last couple weeks of softball! Thanks Mike!

We have to Re-think food.... We don't eat for merely the "taste" of food or how it entertains our taste buds...we eat for the empowerment of food. This is the beauty of Raw week. It allows the food, in its natural state, the opportunity to process these nutrients. Check these food facts out from Medical Medium.
