Miss Massachusetts Teen USA 2012

TONS to catch up on!!

2012-02-21T09:32:00.000-08:00

I have been non-stop since the last blog post but now that it's school vacation I finally got a chance to tell you about what I've been doing!!

First- I am feeling MUCH better, and was able to go to that little girls birthday!! We made cupcakes, decorated crowns, and had a little fashion show! (It was the sweetest thing- literally ;D)

I also got to attend an MDA Muscle Team event at Fenway Park with my big sis Natalie! They raised thousands of dollars for Muscular Dystrophy. I was honored to be a part of it. I also got to meet Bruins players Adam McQuaid and Shawn Thornton!! WHOOPIE!!!

For the first time ever I went to a Winter Carnival in Holyoke. Home to the Volleyball Hall of Fame!! As a player I was in my glory!!! I greeted and spoke to the guests and was fortunate to get a tour of the city! So cool!

In less than great news... the Patriots lost the Superbowl... :( FAIL but it's okay! MA will just have to make up for it at Miss and Teen USA!

One weekend this month I had 4 events!! WOAH!! hahah I hosted a fashion show, benefiting inner city children in Boston, attended the Boston Globe Travel Show, where I got to cook a yummy Mexican dish, went to the MDA walk where me and my Miss led the walkers and went to my hometown Seekonk's 200th anniversary!! I love being on the go and what better way than to have fun doing it :)

Best of all you might ask?!! STANDOUT!!! I went to StandOut productions this past weekend in Lynchburg, VA where I met my fellow teens and Miss USA 2005 Chelsea Cooley and A.T. Dunn. It was an incredible experience. I learned so much about who I am and conquered many fears!! Jumping off a telephone pole? check. Zip lining? check. hahaha!! So much fun, my mom was like wow Jordyn I'm proud of you!! Girly to adventurous just like that! ;)

Hope everyone can soak all those events in!! To those of us on vacation- enjoy and rest :) Next up- My birthday :) February 26th- Seventeen!

Proud to be your Miss MA Teen USA xoxo

NYC Bound!!

Happy New Year!!
Hoping everyone is having a fantastic 2012! So far mine has been pretty good... except for the fact that I currently have tonsillitis! Ick!!! I'm going to have to get my tonsils removed- the good thing is that that means lots of ice cream :) The most exciting part of 2012 yet has to be the photo shoot I had in NYC this month. I was signed with MMG model management and shot with a world renown photographer who has shot people like Taylor Momsen from Gossip Girl, and the Victoria Secret Models!! My makeup and hair was done by the woman who does the girls makeup for the big fashion show aired on national TV that we all watch! It was a great opportunity and I learned so much! (Still haven't gotten the pictures but will be sure to post one) If I'm lucky maybe I'll be living in NYC later this year haha fingers crossed!!
(Here is a selfy of my hair and makeup from the shoot- now that's Victoria's Secret!!

I've been sick recently but I plan on feeling better for a little girls birthday party this weekend! She requested me to be there for pictures and autographs- I wouldn't miss it for the world!

Until the next post....

Sincerely,
Miss Massachusetts Teen USA 2012

Welcoming the New Year!! - A message to you all. (Read to the end)

I admit- I'm incredibly sad to see 2011 go. It brought me a lot, and I learned so much this year. Most importantly, I'm really starting to understand who I am and what I want, and can bring to the world. The best part of 2011 for me was obviously winning the title of Miss Massachusetts Teen USA- a dream come true. I know though that that was only the beginning. Winning this title, was only the initiation of what 2012 has to bring. Although I'm sad to see 2011 go, I've never been so excited for a new year. If the world really does end in 2012- I know I'll be happy that a goal I've had my entire life has been accomplished. I have many exciting appearances in the New Year. You know that I will keep you all posted on what I'm doing! I am an amazingly blessed teen. I know 2012 will be a happy year for me, and I am wishing with my whole heart that it is happy for all of you too. So Happy New Year! Put your past mistakes behind you, because this is your new beginning. Keep your happy memories close to you, because those times will be your motivation in the hard ones. Most importantly, remember who you are, that you are special, and even if I don't know you- I love you. For reading this blog, for supporting me, and because you are one of my brothers or sisters put on this earth. May God Bless xoxoxo

Update on my ending to 2011

2011-12-28T13:46:00.000-08:00

Did everyone have a Merry Christmas? The holiday season has been so busy for me- I finally got a chance to add a new post and update you on what I've been up to! The most exciting? My trip to New York City!! Not only did I get to attend Fadil Berisha's Christmas party but I got to visit the Sherri Hill showroom and begin my Teen USA gown hunt! She is truly gifted- being in one room with all those gowns was heaven! I also got to participate in one of her video shoots! I met many of the teen titleholders and they were all so sweet! I'm definitely excited for nationals :) I am grateful I got to see the tree and the NYC lights at Christmas. I also had a photo shoot with the amazing Tess Johnson! The pictures came out awesome! I posted some on Facebook but there are more to come!! For Christmas I went to midnight mass and my family came to my house! I've been spending each of these recent days at the gym- because boy did I indulge!!!!!! Did you know that Dunkin' Donuts closes on Christmas??? I had to go to five before I found one open!! What can I say- I love my coffee. Next up... 2012

Happy December!

December is here!!! The last month of 2011 but also the beginning of what 2012 will bring. December is my favorite month! From Christmas, to the snow, the sparkling lights, and the positive spirt between friends and family what's not to love? This past weekend I participated in a Christmas parade in Uxbridge. I have to admit it was a bit chilly but nothing a good old scarf can't solve ;) Hope you are all enjoying the holiday season! (I know I am)

XOXOX

Breather time!!!!

Woah- I can't believe its already been a week since I was crowned.. and might I say this has been one of the best weeks of my life! After the parade I was in on saturday I attended the Miss NH Teen & USA pageant on sunday. Talk about GORGEOUS girls!!! They all rocked it up there and it just goes to show what the Miss Universe Organization promotes- the continuing confidence and growth within young women. Congratulations to the two new queens! Now- I just got back from a gingerbread house decorating contest for the Home for Little Wanderers! (http://www.thehome.org) It was sooo much fun!!! I can't wait to be apart of their Stuff-A-Truck event tomorrow with my big sis Natalie (Miss MA USA) and WCVB-TV.

Keeping you posted always, xo

Your reigning Miss Massachusetts Teen USA

The Beginning of my journey...

2011-11-25T19:38:00.000-08:00

Tonight I had my first official appearance as Miss Massachusetts Teen USA! I welcomed all of the attendees at the youth baseball gala in Reading and hosted the raffle! I've already met so many people and am looking forward to meeting more! Tomorrow I will be participating in my first parade too :) I will be on the "One Warm Coat" Float, an organization that helps to ensure that everyone who needs a coat- has a coat, and can stay warm all year long! I know tomorrow I will have mine on since it will be frosty and crisp in this beautiful state!! I am so proud to be your representative <3

(Me and my amazing director Laurie!!)

First official shoot!

2011-11-23T11:53:00.000-08:00

Last night I had my first official photo shoot as Miss Massachusetts Teen USA! I had so much fun and the pictures came out awesome! I think I was most excited to eat some pizza... I'm trying to get all of these cravings out now so after the holiday I can start getting ready for the Bahamas and Miss Teen USA! One of the photos last night will be used for my comp cards this year and I can't wait to start using them! :)

Hoping that everyone has a happy and healthy holiday!

Just crowned!

I am so excited to have been crowned the new Miss Massachusetts Teen USA 2012!! This year is going to be filled with photo shoots, appearances, and my favorite-volunteering! I've been volunteering from a very young age and I'm thrilled to have this opportunity to use this title as a voice and really get out there and encourage our youth to volunteer! I have many goals I want to accomplish this year and CAN'T WAIT to compete for the title of Miss Teen USA 2012! :)
