Megan Wara...your next CW14 star!!

Hello my lovelies!!

What have I been up to??

Let me tell you..I have exciting news!!!

 

I am currently in the top 10 to be the next CW14 star!! A few weeks back I auditioned and made it to the top 9! The people voted in the 10th candidate. What does the next CW14 star do? If I got this I would be considered "the face of the CW14"..how cool is that!?!? I would get to work behind and in front of the camera. By giving interviews and segments in between shows. This would be a paid 1 year job. AKA...a dream come true!

I have always liked being the center of attention. I liked using television and acting as an outlet to be heard. I would watch people like Kelly Rippa on TV and think ..that's what I want to do!! I really do believe God made me like this for a reason. There is a reason he made me confident and bubbly. It is to be the voice of millions. I want to be a good role model for girls everywhere. In this world we need better influences. My motto is "be you, be beautiful." Showing that you are beautiful just the way you are!

 

Since then we went to a basketball game at The Resch Center. Before the game we wore our CW14 shirts, passed out some of our business cards and got photos with a few of the people coming into the game. At half time we got to run out on the court and promote ourselves..and dance to Gangnam style haha. It was a great chance to meet the other contestants and explore some of what the job would entail! It was such a fun day!!! The hardest part was trying to make the shirt look fashionable :p

 

 

 

 

 

The next step in this process was getting our makeovers!! However living in Wisconsin the weather is never great in winter. The day we had makeovers I had to rescedule because of the blizzard and the long drive. But I got my makeover a few days later and it was amazing! I felt like a mini celebrity :p heehee. I went to The Paul Mitchell School in Green Bay to get my hair cut, styled, dyed, makeup done and an eyebrow wax. I was there all day but luckily I had a fabulous stylist who made the day one for the books.

 

 

After my awesome makeover we got to go in the studio! Now that-that was a dream come true!! I have always imagined being in a studio like that. Being able to see it all right in front of my eyes was the coolest thing ever!! I just didn't want to leave.

 

 

 

Right now we are in Round 2.

 

What does that mean??

Oh bloggy...how I have missed you.

I find myself so busy lately that I don't have time to write on here anymore. But it is a new year and I want to start up blogging again :) When I have time, I am giving myself the freedom to do this whenever I want and feel no pressure to keep up with eveyone else.

 

I am so ready for 2013! It is going to be a year of adventure, goals and spiritual and emotional growth! Lord help this year be one of the best yet!

 

So what's new with me?

Well...

1.) My sister got married...on New Years eve!! They live in Canada so we planned the whole thing here in WI in 2mo so they could get married when they came home. It was a beautiful wedding. I am so blessed to have gained a new brother  and to see my sissy so happy!

 

 

 2.) I love love love my job (I love being able to say that!!) I've been getting to help with wedding shows and talking with brides! I love it!!

 

and so many other things! I can not wait to see what this year holds!

 

 



Chop chop??

As you know I am always switching up my hair. I get bored so easy...good and bad thing.

I am considering cutting it...but then I get so sad and regret it. But these cute hairstyles make me want to chop chop!!

 

Desicions, decisions... what's your favorite?

 

 

Monday Monday...

Happy Monday all!!!

 

It sure does feel like fall here in Wisconsin today..how lovely!

With fall almost here it's only right to make pumpkin cupcakes.

I made some last night. Only a minor downfall breaking the can opener..and since I just got a new phone I was without a phone. Sooo I had to make due. They sure were yummy though!

Grab the recipe here.

Super easy!!

 

 

Until we meet again..

Goodbyes are never easy. One of my best friend's Naomi left the other day to become a nanny in Pittsburgh. It is gonna be such a fabulous adventure for her! But I miss her already!! Just another thing on the list of changes. She's off to be a nanny until February and I just ended my term of being one. It is definitely sad to think I won't be able to see Lyla 5 days a week. I love that little girl. But it is time, time for me to move on and make some new changes.

 

I am looking into culinary schools that have a spcific major in baking/pastry. The dream down the line is to open my own cupcake bakery complete with delivery service. Because sometimes you just crave a cupcake and want to order one! So that is the first step. I found 2 schools I really like. None in Wischonsin. One of them is called Le Cordon Bleu, I'm looking at the ones in Chicago and Minnesota. And then there is The Art Institute, I'm looking at the Nashville one. It is just so scary to think of moving on my own to a brand new city. Ahhh so much to think about!! I'm going to be talking to the school representitives today and see how it sounds. I

 

I just need to pray more and worry less.

 

 

This is just gonna be a year of many new, scary and exciting chapters!

Good-bye blonde...hello change!

Continuing on with new and exciting things...for the first time in my life I am no longer a blonde..ahhh!! It's super weird to me because I have always loved and enpowered being a blonde! But on my Bucket List I have "try red hair." And since I am now doing something new every month I thought...do I dare? Well I was watching the movie "License to wed" (hilarious!!) and I couldn't help but gawk at Mandy Moore's hair. It was the perfect shade of red and it gave me the guts to try it myself! According to the box it should've been 4 shades lighter then it turned out..I was shocked to say the least haha. When it was sitting on my head it looked black...ahhh black! I was freaking. Luckily after I washed it, it wasn't black. But man it's dark haha. But you know what I do like it. Change is good. I heard a quote the other day I really liked "If nothing ever changed there'd be no butterflies." I need to embrace all of the new changes in my life. God has something amazing in store for me!

 

The perfect color red I wanted!

There's a change for ya!

 

 

I think it will last about a month or 2 but hey I am having fun with the new color already!! Carpe Diem right?

 

Strawberry Souffle!!...umm yumm!!

I have a new goal: Do something I have never done before at least once a month.

 

Well I am proud to say that I have already done 2 and it is only the 9th! Hip hip hooray!! Let's see here which one shall I share today...hmmm. I'll share the wonderful strawberry souffle!! I have ALWAYS wanted to make a souffle and so I decided I would give it a try!

 

My best friend Tav and I are obessed with baking. So we decided to make a blog dedicated to baking and share our lovely treats with the world. Also howto's and funny stories. I am really excited to get started on it! And to be able to do it with my best friend makes it so much better :)

 

Here is the link if you wanna take a look :) It's called "Sweet Treats from my Best Friends Kitchen"

 

Luckily making the souffle wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. The hardest part for us was the "stiff peaks" it calls for 4 eggs and we ended up going through 9..note to self: don't play with the yolk. Oopsie haha. When we took them out of the oven they were risen and beautiful but after like 10 min they deflated a bit haha. But they tasted delicious!!!
