Bre 21, from Colorado is Miss Colorado Earth U.S. 2018. Even more so, she runs a lifestyle blog called Living Beautifully Balanced, and models professionally. After becoming associated with Bre and her distinguished titles, one word that popped into my head was determined. This is because to have and maintain a national title like Miss Colorado is not easy at all. Then, to run a blog, model, be a student, and have a life is above and beyond, to say the least. As a fellow Grand Canyon University lope of Tev and I, Bre is one of a kind. Ironically, she directly associates success with perseverance, and to persevere is to be determined.
“ Success is when you get turned down, or do not place, but continue to persevere and achieve whatever it is you are chasing anyways. Never let a “no” or loss stop you from that dream.”
Five years from now Bre aspires to build her Living Beautifully Balanced blog into its own brand and business. She also yearns to see herself on the Miss U.S.A. stage, but with her go-getter mentality, this aspiration does not seem to far-fetched. Bre is inspired by destiny. Writing and fashion are what she truly loves, and destiny has continued to redirect her path in modeling and performing, which has influenced her love in those industries as well. Therefore, the saying “ it is what it should be” is what Bre continues to put her faith in. Personally, I think that this is beautiful since it is rare to find individuals that are genuinely willing to trust in the direction that life takes us, especially during our darkest rides.
As for passion, utilizing her voice to empower others is what excites Bre the most. This answer definitely caught my attention, since “empowering others” is the platform of this lifestyle brand. Not only this, but Bre expresses her will to help all that want to live a “Beautifully Balanced Life."
She puts in all this work and reaches for the stars because she says that it is apart of her. She describes herself as a “heart on her sleeve” type girl. This makes complete sense as Bre makes a point of establishing every part of herself that she shares with the world into a personal connection with others. This is so that they have the opportunity to be apart of it all with her.
“ I was the lead role in my school play at age 7, and ever since then my heart has been on the stage.”
When hard times surface, Bre explains that her loved ones keep her going. She also could not get by without fitness, meditation, and journaling, which I know is why she is so successful in her pursuits because her passion shines in every one of them. Overall, the best part about the journey that Bre has decided to take is the unexpected. Particularly in pageantry, she is her own competition, and this is why the entire industry experience is so rewarding. What Bre does benefits others by her constant reminders that staying humble and working hard is a one-way ticket to accomplishing your dreams. This message is pushed throughout her blog, and even throughout her pageantry as Miss Colorado. Her U.S. title comes with immersing herself into charity and volunteer work as often as possible. This is okay though because Bre wants to give, as she follows the saying, “you get what you give in life.”
She illustrates that this journey has not only shaped her into the best version of herself but has helped her discover who she is. Altogether, Bre looks for advice in everything that she does, and truthfully that is a very mature perception.
“ Growth. Confidence. Perseverance. You can never be over-educated.”
After getting a chance to sit down and get to know Bre, I am inspired and impressed. You are a role model, and I do not think there was a better person to be Miss Colorado Earth U.S. Good luck with the rest of your journey. You have our complete support.
Thank you, Bre!
