Jayne Eugene Florists

Yesterday, I spent my morning and afternoon at Jayne Eugene Florists open house! Our ED, Michael Piskorski owns the store and invited us to make our very first appearance! It was wonderful, the store looked absolutely beautiful and it was a great sucess!

My teens and I, got to pass out flowers, pins, and raffle tickets to everyone that came in! I thought I had made a little girl cry when I was trying to give her a flower, but it turns out she was just afraid of the clown outside! Jenna, Tori, and I helped the clown outside trying to wave down people to come to the open house. We got alot of beeps and waves but it was absolutely hilarious to see people try and ignore us!

It was nice to spend the day with my bristol family and I look forward to all the other appearances I will have with them!!!

I am Miss Bristol 2011

On Saturday, October 2nd 2010, I was crowned Miss Bristol 2011. My initial reaction was shock! I've competed in the Miss America system for just one year and I couldn't believe that my crowning moment would have come so fast!

I am so excited to start my year as Miss Bristol, I have so many fun things planned and I can't wait to get to known the community of Bristol. I hope I can exceed their expectations as a title holder because I do not want to disappoint them!

I also cannot wait to help promote my issue of concern NCOHF: America's Toothfairy. If anyone would like more information please check out their website, www.ncohf.org. Each month I will write an article about the foundation so you can get a clearer understanding of what America's Toothfairy is.

To Jenna & Tori, I haven't told you girls enough how excited I am to have two sister queens. I can't wait to spend the entire year with you girls and make everlasting memories and friendships. Love you girls!!

To the Miss Bristol board, thank you for all for putting on a wonderful show and making myself and the rest of the contestants at ease during rehearsals. I had a blast and can not wait to see what you have in store!!!

I will keep all of my appereances posted on here for those that would like to follow my journey!

With love,
Marisa DelBuono
Miss Bristol 2011

Leadership

So this afternoon I had recieved an email that made me thrilled!
I am the president of the dental assisting club!!
I anticipated this email for quite sometime and couldn't have been more excited!! I was jumping up and down like a 5 year old getting what she wanted under the christmas tree! I wanted this position more than anything. I can't wait to get started and see what my title entails. I know we will be doing tons of fundraising which will benefit us for graduation, it will also be a great way to collect ideas to raise money for America's Toothfairy.
This position will motivate to work harder (although I am working as hard as I possible could as a student) to get closer to my career as a certified dental assistant! I am so happy with my life's choices and grateful for where I am headed in my future!!

PS My birthday is in ONE week!!!!!

Busy Busy Busy

I am so terribly sorry for not updating my blog like I intended on doing when I started. For the past month I have been jammed pack with school work. Dental assisting consumes my entire life right now!!! I barely have enough time for myself but right now it is calming down but I know it will start back up in a blink of an eye!
I'm really enjoying the course the work is tough but the labs are so much fun! I learned how to put amalgam in a prepared tooth (fillings) and learned to take impressions (which are my favorite, most dental assistants would agree). I can't wait for the clinical portion to start up so I can actually know what it is like to work with real patients instead of using our fake teeth.


Pageant season is starting Oct. 2nd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am stoked! I've been waiting for that date to arrive!
When the time gets closer, I will update on it!

Also my birthday is 11 days, I will be turning the big 19! haha
Well, I just wanted to update you on my life, now back to my dental homework!!!



(PS. im going to start vlogging but it is going to be strictly makeup and such! and will keep you posted on that as well)

America's Toothfairy

Pageant season is just around the corner!!! One of the many things of competiting in pageants a contestant must do is pick a platform to support. I chose to support National Children's Oral Health Foundation: America's Tooth Fairy.

As a dental assistant student and aspiring dental hygienist, what better cause to support than America's Tooth Fairy!!

America's Toothfairy is a non-profit organization who's main focus is delivering critical oral health care to underprivileged children through out the country. This organization was formed in 2006 and in the last four years they have been able to provide prevention, restoration, and educational oral health services to over one million children.

Why does this matter? It breaks my heart to know that millions of children in America are suffering pain so severe that they lose the ability to eat, sleep, and learn. With out the help of this organization they are fighting the #1 chronic childhood illness, pediatric dental disease, alone.

If you could just make one donation to his wonderful cause, it would mean the world to these children. Just click the link on the side of this blog (proud partner logo) to get more of the information I have given and please, donate.

Every child deserves a healthy smile. :)

School & Other Things

Well, I haven't been posting as much as I anticipated this summer because I've been working full time and on top of everything I have HOMEWORK! Of course the homework bothers me, who doesn't it bother...however my homework is a lot interesting than others so it makes time fly, it also takes forever.
The reason I have homework already before school begins is because in just one week I will be going back. I have to take a CPR training course because it is required to take it. It will be extremely easy because I was certified my sophomore year of highschool.
The one thing I am not looking forward to besides going back to school is not being able to work as much as I'd like. I love the money I'm making now but I know it will be cut in half when school starts.

Also, I can't contain myself but ..... PAGEANT SEASON IS IN FULL MOTION!!!!!!!

I have been keeping up with my diet (I may have a few splurges), exercise (I just built my own gym in my basement with the help of my wonderful boyfriend), and starting to fill my new pageant wardobe.

I have my interview dress, bathingsuit, and on tuesday I will be picking up my gown. It is absolutely gorgeous, I fell in love with it the minute I put it on. I'd love to tell you what it looks like but it's a suprise!!! Ragtime Boutique in Watertown, CT has a great supply of dresses. Natalie, the owner is the wardrobe sponser for the Miss CT Scholarship Program. She is just phenominal!!

Now the countdown to the pageants begin!

Healthy Start to a Healthy You

Healthy start to a healthy you is a saying that just recently stuck to me. I've come to realize as I've gotten older, I've noticed some changes with body. When I first met my boyfriend 5 years ago I weighed about 110 lbs. Now I weigh around 130 lbs. I know to some people that isn't a lot but when I used to be physically active with dance, cheerleading, and volleyball - it's become a lot to me. In those years I stopped all those activities and ate with the mind set that I still have a fast metabolism. Well now the food is really catching up to me.

I am now starting to really watch what I eat and no, I'm not going on a diet. I'm cutting out soda, sweets, and fast food. After doing much research on what I should be putting into my diet, I came up with a schedule of when I should eat. This may come in handy for anyone who is interested in being healthier. The day will consist of - Morning: Breakfast (9am) Afternoon: Lunch (12pm) Mid Day: Snack (2:30pm) Evening: Dinner (5pm) and Late night Snack (7pm).

Now you can't lose the weight without exercising so during my days I will either take a walk or use the Wii Fit. However, I am really interested in buying a ab pro circle because I heard it's really fun and easy to do. Or maybe buy an elliptical because I don't want to pay for a gym member ship because it was a waste of money because I never went. I also can't follow workout videos because I get bored and give up!

It's been almost 3 days since I started my healthy start to a healthy me and I feel great already, let's just hope I keep up with the hard work because I need to prepare for swimwear in my pageants!!! :)
