Miss Earth: Updates & Thank You’s

Hi everyone!

Wow, what a crazy 10 weeks it’s been! I’ve loved every minute though! Felt so good doing what I’m passionate about! 

I wanted to share with you some of the projects that I did during the semi-finals of Miss Earth South Africa – most of you have been keeping up with all my events via my personal twitter and Instagram accounts but here are a few links to what I’ve been up to lately:

One of my first projects as a semi-finalist was to attend a hospital drive in Soweto for the Easter weekend but I was away with family and friends in Zambia so I decided to hand out Easter eggs to some of the kids along the Zambezi River, you can read more about that here.

Next up, I planted a small vegetable garden at a nursery school in Pretoria. I had such a great day with the kids, they were all so cute and so eager to learn! You can read more about that here.

From the beginning of my Miss Earth journey, I mentioned that I would be collecting gently used clothing and non-perishable food for the Jacaranda Children’s Home. I also got a few of my beauty blogging friends to donate some of their beauty products that they weren’t using. I was so overwhelmed with all that I received! One whole room in my house was filled with donations! Here is the link for that project. 

I live in a beautiful estate in Pretoria that even has a game reserve in the one section so I knew when I had to my tree planting, I wanted to do it close to home. Have a look at this post to see what this area is all about. 

As my last project as a semi-finalist, I donated food; blankets and jackets to the SPCA in Watloo, Pretoria. I’m a huge animal lover and it was important to me to make sure the animals had blankets and food to keep them happy during the winter. Here is where you can read more.
