Win Your Next Pageant
Get Pageant Questions Written By A Miss Universe Judge
Pageants become expensive in time, energy, and especially money if you’re not careful . The face-value costs of entering a competition can easily put you thousands of dollars in debt. (The resale value of a gown, for instance, is similar to a car….as soon as it’s not longer new, the price drops significantly.)
But if you’re resourceful and know how to prioritize *how* you spend, you will set yourself up for success and give yourself a strong shot at the crown. Dedicate your dollars to areas that will help you score higher and save on areas that are commoditized (jewelry, shoes) or can be replicated through effort and time (self-exercise, home-made gifts.)
You also want to approach your spending as investments in yourself, particularly in areas that improve your skills, confidence, and savings, long-term (makeup lessons, for example.) The key to success through pageants is in taking control of your own destiny and unlocking your maximum growth *Super Saiyan*

I’m so grateful for your channel, Crystal. I am competing in my first ever pageant. I wish I would’ve found you sooner. You’re such a great speaker and so clear and concise. A very intelligent women I look up to, even beyond pageantry. Thank you for these videos!
I’m probably not going to compete in a pageant ever but you are completely right about skill development. Any person would benefit from investing in themselves. Thank you for your honest and generous advice.
Thanku maaam

Crystal can u make a video on how to stop comparing yourself to other girls in a pageant
I'm not even a girl but I love watching these videos they are clear and straight to the point keep making these!!!!

Lovved itt! ❤
Opex vs Capex. Love the VC analogy. 😉
I so agree on the skills part, especially with the increasing focus on public speaking and skills rather then just beauty, it doesn't hurt to invest in those,at the end of the day they are needed during the reign. I've been investing time to learn things that can be learned such as styling hair clothes and nails. Goes a long way. Again thank you for this video!
Thank you so much for this video, Crystal! It is super helpful and definitely helped my pageant budgeting.
