Pageant Vixen Talks: Natalie Glebova

It has been a long time since we had our last "Pageant Vixen Talks." Last time, we had Miss Universe Great Britain, Holly Hale who competed in Las Vegas in the Miss Universe 2012 pageant. This week, we will have a very special feature, she is a beauty queen who won Miss Universe in the year 2005. Now, she is a successful woman. Get to know Natalie Glebova on this year-ender "Pageant Vixen Talks."

 

UBC: Who is Natalie Glebova before being a BEAUTY QUEEN?
Natalie: Before becoming a beauty queen, I was a regular student at University in my hometown in Toronto, Canada. I studied Information Technology Management and graduated right before winning the title of Miss Universe Canada 2005.

UBC: Why did you joined Miss Universe?
Natalie: I decided to join Miss Universe Canada competition because I loved the feeling of performing on stage, and getting that rush of excitement from competition. I also really wanted to represent Canada on the world stage. For me, Miss Universe contest is so glamorous and prestigious, so I wanted to be part of it.

UBC: How did you handled the pressure in the pageant last 2005?
Natalie: I must say there were moments that the pressure did get to me during the competition in 2005, but I kept reminding myself why I was doing it, and kept my focus on doing the best I can. It also helped to have wonderful friends in the pageant: Misses Israel, Latvia, Russia, Ukraine and Georgia. We were very close and supported each other throughout the 3 weeks of the competition.

UBC: How did you prepared for the pageants?
Natalie: I kept a very detailed 'to-do' list while preparing for the pageant. I wrote out exactly what I needed to improve or do in order to be my best. I addressed all areas of the competition, from physical fitness, to answering questions, to wardrobe, makeup, hair, and stage presence.

UBC: After winning the crown, how did it changed your life?
Natalie: My life changed completely after winning the crown. Going from living a pretty regular life, to whirl-wind traveling and living in NYC for the year was a huge change. It was the most interesting year of my life but also one of the hardest.

UBC: In your reign, how did you balance time for family and being a titleholder?
Natalie: It was hard to balance family/friends with my crazy-paced life. I mostly focused on what I had to do at that moment, and always tried to keep in touch with everyone who is important to me.

UBC: What is your advocacy in this time?
Natalie: I'm a big advocate for healthy lifestyle, fitness and proper nutrition for all ages. I write articles and answer fan's questions related to wellness and beauty www.hhblife.com and I feel very passionate about helping people improve their quality of life with healthier lifestyle habits.

UBC: What advice can you give to those women who wants to be like you?
Natalie: My advice to those who want to follow in my footsteps, is to know exactly what you want, write it down (being as specific as possible), and follow through with a detailed action plan. Visualize what you want to happen daily, and keep striving for your dreams until they become reality.

UBC: Beauty Tip To All.
Natalie: Visit my website www.hhblife.com and sign up to my HHB Life 7-day challenge. there are beauty tips for every day, such as getting enough sleep, drinking more water, stretching and meditating in the morning, eating 4-5 small meals a day, and doing something active for 30 minutes a day!

UBC: Message to all your fans
Natalie: To all my fans I'd like to say a big Thank You for supporting me and believing in me, and I want to wish you all to be healthy, happy and beautiful!

She really is an inspiring person. Natalie, "Universal Beauty Council" we wish you all the best! Have a happy and a blissful new year. May your year 2013 be filled with a lots of possibilities! Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity to interview you. Thank you so much Natalie!

:: A QUICK SNEAK PEEK INTO A FASHION SHOW ::

I gave you a hint last week that I was at the fashion show in my hometown. The thing was, that a good friend of mine was participating as a model, so it was pretty cool to watch her walking fearless on the stage. :)

I haven`t posted anything about it yet, so here are some photos that I took (most of them ended up blury cuz I had some problems with the settings on my camera, so I took two of them from someone else - under the photo there is also a link to it`s primary source). The whole liaison program was really fun (made by dance studio Igen), Zoran hair team did it`s job pretty good, but the dresses by Egoist were a bit disapointing. I liked just one of them and even that one was so-so. Anyway, overall the event was good, especially for my small hometown. :) 

xo, M.

Prejšnji teden sem vam dala namig, da sem bila na modni reviji, ki se je odvijala v Celju. Stvar je bila takšna, da je moja dobra prijateljica delala kot model za Zoran Hair team in jo je bilo prav kul gledati, kako neustrašno se sprehaja po stezi. :) 

Nekaj slik je mojih (čeprav mi je fotkič zablokiral v najbolj ključnih trenutkih in rezultat so bile meglene slike), nekaj pa sem si jih sposodila od drugod (pod sliko je zabeležen vir).

Cel povezovalni program je bil prav lušten (mislim, da je krivec za to Plesni studio Igen), Zoran hair team ekipa je tud bila fajn, obleke od Egoista pa so me več kot razočarale. Všeč mi je bila samo ena obleka, pa še tista je bila bolj za silo. Skratka, če potegnem črto bi rekla, da je bil dogodek kar dobro izpeljan, sploh za naše malo Celje. 

xo, M.

:: SANTA, COOKIES & THE TREE ::

Remember the post about the Christmas Tree? I said it`s just the preview, so now I`m showing you the last version of it. We added the lights and I decided we don`t need more ornaments, cuz it would be too much. I love it like this - natural and simple. 

+ I`ve been baking & making some cookies this last days! There are not all on the photos, cuz I forgot to photograph them before I gave them away.(btw -  I already posted a photo about this on the FB page). Have you baked any goodies this year? 

It`s been going on a lot this holidays. Today is actually the first day that I have some extra time to sit down and check my favorite blogs, watch some of my favorite episodes and enjoy in doing nothing really special. :) 

How are your holidays so far? What`s your plan for the New Year`s Eve?

xo, Maja

Se še spomnite objave o božičnem drevesu? No, tisto je bil "predogled" smrekice, sedaj pa je že znana končna verzija, ki se ni dosti spremenila, namreč, ko sva dodala še lučke, sva ugotovila, da ne potrebujeva dodatnih okraskov. Meni je všeč prav takšna, naravna in enostavna. 

+ Zadnje dni sem bila pridna in sem spekla kar nekaj keksov/muffinov (za božička, za prijatelje/družino in seveda naju)! :) 

Na sliki jih žal še nekaj manjka, ker mi jih ni uspelo poslikati preden so zapustili najin domek. (Eno fotko sem že objavila tudi na Mikstejpovi FB strani.).

Kaj pa ti? Je kaj dišalo v tvoji kuhinji? :) 

Te počitnice so kratke in intenzivne. Danes je dejansko prvi dan, ko imam malce časa, da lahko pregledam svoje najljubše bloge, nadaljevanke in uživam v tem, da ne delam prav nič posebnega. :)  

Kako pa kaj tvoji praznični dnevi + plani za novo leto? 

xo, M.

The 2012 Goddess of the Universe Top 31!

Out of the 60 girls who qualified for the first round, the UBC team deliberated on the 30 girls who will make it to next round. Unfortunately, the judges had really a hard time choosing the Top 30 most especially when there are 2 girls who tied for the last spot. Congratulations to the 31 girls who made it!

:: MERRY CHRISTMAS ::

Wish you all a Wonderful Holidays! :*

Želim vam čudovite božične praznike! :*

:: TODAY I WOKE UP IN A BEAUTIFUL MORNING ::

Guys, miracles do exist! This morning I woke up and I had this incredible email/msg waiting for me, that "Santa" left something for me in Vila Malina! Actually, I have to thank Urška (in this case - Mrs Santa) for being so kind and making my December even better! Thank you so much for making my Christmas wishlist smaller! You definitely made my day/month!! <3

Love,

M.

Ljudje, čudeži dejansko obstajajo! Danes zjutraj sem se zbudila in na telefonu/emailu me je čakalo sporočilo, da mi je božiček nekaj pustil v Vili Malini. Pravzaprav, se moram zahvaliti Urški (v tem primeru - gospa božiček), ki je tako prijazna/dobrodušna, da mi je december naredila še lepši! Najlepša hvala za darilce, ter krčenje moje božične liste želja. Sploh ne veš, kako si  mi polepšala dan/mesec! ;) 

pozdravček, 

M.
