All is good in 2011!

The start of 2011 has been very promising. I filmed 4 episodes as a Beauty Expert for a new webisode on Walgreens.com called “Beauty Within”. Head over to www.Walgreens.com to watch “Beauty Within”! The show is all about transforming inspirational women and bringing their inner beauty out. I often tell the young ladies I coach that you need to kind and beautiful on the inside FIRST. The outer layer does not matter if you are not a nice person!
I am still a reporter for El Segundo News and continue to love the city and the people I interview. My pageant coaching business with fellow beauty queen Tara Darby is continuing to grow. We are constantly blown away by the talent in the pageantry world. Check out our website to see our success stories at www.sashesandcrowns.com
My favorite charity Soles4Souls is literally changing the world by putting shoes on people in need. Wayne Elsey you ROCK! www.giveshoes.org
Here’s to all of my family and friends in 2011. May this year bring you all of your wants and dreams.
My Best,
Cristina

Hello-
I am packing my bags and heading to Las Vegas for Miss USA 2009. I will be working for the Miss Universe Organization for the week.
Good luck to all the titleholders, especially my former Teen, Alison Cronin who is now Miss Massachusetts USA 2009. I truly believe every titleholder is a winner. My advice to the contestants is to have fun and enjoy this once in a lifetime experience.
For the second year in a row FASHION ROCKS THE UNIVERSE will be taking place at Planet Hollywood. I was a model in the show a year ago and had a blast. Below is a photo of the Sherri Hill gown I rocked on the runway.
See you in Vegas-

Hi All,
I will be representing Soles4Souls at the annual LA Mission’s Easter Celebration in Downtown LA on Friday.
From the LA Mission:
In traditional fashion, the Mission will provide over 3,000 hot meals for the homeless and hundreds of Easter baskets for the children. In addition to the normal festivities, the Los Angeles Mission Community Clinic will set up a station to clean the feet of our homeless guests! Volunteers must be at least 12 years old and the group limit is 10 including the leaders.
Thank you to the LA Mission for inviting Soles4Souls to help with the festivities.
Best,
Cristina
