YOUR NEW RICHMOND CENTRE MISS EARTH NORTHERN IRELAND 2017 IS ....
MAIRE LYNCH
Heeeeey everyone!! Im baccccck after a long wait again, but you all know me by now, little busy body! I never ever would have thought I would be back writing as your new Richmond Centre Miss Earth Northern Ireland 2017.. still SHOCKED!! (but so happy!) I have thee most exciting year ever coming up and I am so excited to be using my blog as my main platform to spread awareness of my eco-message 'Power to be Cruelty Free' focusing on animal cruelty in cosmetics. I also cant contain my excitement to be travelling across the globe to one beautiful destination this year and represent our little country on a world famous stage - actually how exciting!! I really really hope I do you all so proud!
This blog is going to take time away from skincare and focus on my journey through Miss Earth. To anyone who knows me, I literally have been trying to convince every single girl I know to enter the pageant next year. I am actually not just saying this as a winner, ask any of the other 14 contestants and they will tell you the same. The friends I have met are honestly girls I will have for life, in my opinion we left that stage as 'Team Miss Earth Northern Ireland 2017' as cringy as it sounds I absolutely adore every one of them and I just wish I could bring them in my suitcase with me!! They have been so supportive of me over the last two weeks, pageant related and non-pageant related (agony aunt!!) and I know their support will continue to empower me to do them all proud throughout the year!!
(Only 2 of the 14 .. we were that busy backstage we didn't have time for selfies with everyone- sadly!)
Another thing which I loved most about this pageant was it's 'Beauties for a Cause' aspect, where we were encouraged to raise money for our chosen charity the Playtrail. I took this opportunity and held it with two hands, someone close to my hear benefits from the facilities in which the Playtrail provides so it really did mean a lot to me. I organised two fundraisers, one of which was a circuit training morning and the other being a bake sale. Both fundraisers were so successful and to this day I am still overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone who donated money, everyone was so interested to hear about the work they do, it felt amazing to educate them and help make a difference! Definitely a pageant worth while!
(My wee face when I seen my mammy standing at the side of the stage crying her wee eyes out.. )
I hope to be back super soon with some new skincare products, cruelty free of course! Until then, I am sending lots and lots of love..
