Update for 2011


Wow! Time flies.....and I guess I have neglected my blog lol whoops. For those following, thank you and sorry!!

To sum up my experience at my First Nationals (2010) it was amazing!! I recieved 4th place and am ecstatic about it! I also was able to see my long time bff Jodi Boam turn Pro! .....amazing night. Now fast forward 9 months lol..... A lot has been happening and I love it! Recently I have dipped into fitness modeling a little more. I did a shoot with Six Star Pro Nutrition after Nationals and that was great! The ads are still running and can be seen in magazines such as Oxygen Magazine, SHAPE Magazine, Runner's Magazine, Muscle & Fitness Hers, MuscleMag, Muscular Development, FLEX and so forth! I also worked the Olympia booth for them signing autographs which was surreal to say the least.

On a random night last year I was going through my first cd and
photo shoot with the amazing Paul Buceta and it was just painful. I could physically FEEL my nerves coming out of the pictures LOL!! I looked terrified! Which I wont lie....I totally was. Hahah So I had to challenge myself and do it again...but better! Mission definitely accomplished. I love my new shots!!! I went for an 80's/flash dance/retro style lol .....an now I've got some good ideas for my NEXT one ;) Thanks Paul and Val for an amazing day! www.paulbuceta.com www.valerianova.com

Now for the recent stuff..... I worked the first ever UFC expo in Canada for BSN which was a great experience as well. I will admit, wearing heels all day was painful lol but fun nonetheless. Earlier this Year (Feb/March) I also did 2 segments with Reebok on live television, promoting their new lines Easy Tone and Zig Tech.


Now for the MOST recent! I went to the Reebok headquarters here in Toronto (the actual head office is in Montreal) and modelled their Spring 2012 Collection for the Forzani Group! Super fun and I will be going back June 1st to do it again. The Reebok team is absolutely great. I love working with them and hope to continue to do so!

And lastly, I helped Co-Host the O'Brien Luchka Mississauga Classic show. This was my first time doing any sort of public speaking, so it was definitely nerve racking! But I had a lot of fun with Mindi onstage! .....we did have some minor screw ups lol!! But no ones perfect and practice makes perfect right lol! There were so many impressive athletes in all categories and I find it very motivating as I am preparing for my show! So thanks guys! :D

FEWF!! Ok that's the update for now. I had alot to catch up on! Oh ya, and I am currently prepping for the Canadian Nationals again which is in July. Update on the actual prep next blog! www.PurNutrition.com
