Savannah has had the unique opportunity to compete in her very first pageant with her mom, Summer.  They took lots of pictures together and made memories that will last a lifetime at the Miss Royalty International pageant.  We are so fortunate to have been able to be a part of this everlasting memory for this dynamic mother/daughter duo, who travelled all the way from Alaksa!  Get to know Savannah a little bit more in our exclusive interview below:

MRI: Savannah, what do you like to do in your spare time?

MRI: What is your favorite hobby?
 Savannah: I love doing art projects! Painting, drawing, I just like to create.

MRI: What makes Miss Royalty International different from any other pageant you've been in?
 Savannah: Well since Miss Royalty International was my first pageant I don't know much about other pageants but Ms. Michelle and Ms. Cheryl make sure everyone feels special and has the best time ever. It is a time I will never forget for sure!

MRI - What did you do to prepare for the pageant? 

Saryna - What didn't I do??? I started to prepare last year to be honest. I worked with my coach on everything from wardrobe to make-up. I spent over 200 hours last year doing community service. My wardrobe I did extensive research to piece everything together for the that perfect look I was going for. I did water aerobics to stay in shape. I also, hired my coach to do my hair and make-up which I strongly advise!  

MRI - What is one piece of advice you have for next years contestants? 

Saryna - Have fun and remember to be you! Your beauty will shine bright when you come prepared and are relaxed! So get that beauty sleep!

Saryna - Akumal, Mexico  

MRI - What organization is your favorite to volunteer for?

Saryna - I love all the organizations I work with! Its hard to pick just one. But I love working with Alphabet Kids!

Saryna - The day I got my first job! I felt like a real adult even though I was only 14 but it was a proud moment for me. 

Miss Royalty International, Saryna Ritter's new job is working for Mac Duggal!

MRI - What makes Miss Royalty International different from any other pageant you've been in?

Saryna - Cheryl and Michelle make the difference in this pageant! They are real women and truly understand what a queen is. They are supportive from the moment of your inquiry to the pageant and even after they are always there to listen and make sure you are heard. They give advice to all the girls and are very hands on! Even if you do not win they treat you like royalty! This is a true family and I 100% recommend this pageant to anyone!!!!!!

Only A Week

It's only been a week, and the Miss Royalty International queens are already hard at work!  It's amazing how much of an impact you can make in your community by simply having a crown and banner.  This past weekend, the MRI queens made some "sweet" appearances, one of which includes being a judge for the Cupcake Showdown, which was featured on ABC News in Toledo.  We are so proud of our MRI family and the positive things they do for their communities.  Take a look at the beautiful titleholders below.

With lots of love and sparkles,
