I Made It to the Top 10 in the Maxim Cover Girl Contest (And I’m Still in Shock) 🎉

I honestly don’t even know how to start this without sounding emotional — because this feels really emotional for me!!!

I made it to the Top 10 in the Maxim Cover Girl contest!!! 🤯✨

That sentence still doesn’t feel real when I type it!!!

When I entered this contest, I didn’t have big expectations. I didn’t think I’d make it this far. I told myself I’d just give it a shot, have some fun with it, and see what happens. But here I am — still standing, still in the competition, and somehow in the Top 10!!! 🙌

And that’s because of you. 💛

Every vote, every share, every message, every “I voted for you” comment — it all adds up. It’s wild to think that people I know, people I don’t know, and people who just stumbled across my link took a moment out of their day to support me.

That means more to me than I can explain. 🥹✨

Why This Contest Means Even More to Me 💗

I also want to share something really personal.

I’m doing this in support of my mom and her battle with breast cancer. 💕🎗️

This journey isn’t just about me being in a contest — it’s about standing beside someone I love and turning this experience into something meaningful.

If I win, I’ll be donating to a breast cancer foundation in her honour.

That’s something that feels really important to me, and it gives this whole experience a deeper purpose. 💖

What Making the Top 10 Really Means to Me 💭

This isn’t just about a contest.

For me, this is about stepping outside my comfort zone.

It’s about doing something that feels scary and vulnerable.

It’s about putting myself out there when it’s way easier to stay invisible.

I’m not someone who’s naturally confident in front of a camera. I’m not someone who grew up believing I “look like” someone who belongs in a magazine. So getting this far feels surreal. 😭💛

It feels like a reminder that sometimes we’re way harsher on ourselves than the world actually is. ✨

What Happens Next 🚀

Now that I’m in the Top 10, every single vote matters even more than before!!!

This is the stage where things get intense. The competition gets smaller. The support needs to get stronger. And I’m just going to be honest — I can’t do this without you. 🙏

Whether I make it to the next round or not, I’m already proud of myself for getting this far. But of course… I’d love to keep going and see how far this journey can take me!!! 💫

How You Can Support Me (If You Want To) 💖

If you feel like voting, sharing, or cheering me on, I appreciate it more than you know. Even one vote or one share helps more than it might seem. 🙌

Thank you for believing in me when I didn’t fully believe in myself yet.

And thank you for supporting not just me, but this cause too. 💗

No matter what happens next, this experience has already meant more to me than I expected. 🥹✨
