What a day.
Wow.

The last day before the Mrs. Globe final was full of energy, emotion, rehearsals, fashion, laughter, nerves, and one unforgettable party.

It was the kind of day where everything felt close. The final was no longer something far ahead of us. It was tomorrow. Suddenly, every rehearsal, every step, every smile, and every moment felt even more important.

The day started early, as always.

At 8:15, the registration desk opened. By 8:30, rehearsals had already begun. We were back in full focus, walking, listening, adjusting, and trying to hold both calm and excitement at the same time.

The outfit for the morning was yellow for the WIN Brunch, together with cream pants and leggings from the Mrs. Globe bundle. There was something so warm and bright about all the yellow. It felt like sunshine, strength, and sisterhood.

And that really became the feeling of the day.

Sunshine and sisterhood.

Rehearsals ended at 9:30, and at 10:00 it was time for the WIN Brunch.

The WIN Brunch was such a beautiful part of the week. It gave us a moment to pause, breathe, and remember that Mrs. Globe is not only about the stage. It is about women. It is about stories. It is about using your voice, your journey, and your presence for something greater.

“The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.”
Coco Chanel

That quote stayed with me because this week had reminded me again and again how powerful women become when they dare to show up fully. Not perfectly. Not without nerves. Not without tired feet or busy hearts. But fully.

After the brunch, we changed into our Mrs. Globe outfits and went straight back into rehearsals at 12:00.

And from there, the day moved fast.

Very fast.

By now, we all knew that the final was coming closer. You could feel it in the room. The energy was different. More focused. More emotional. More intense.

At 3:30, we had power snacks, which were very needed. Pageant week may look glamorous from the outside, but behind the scenes it is long days, cold air conditioning, comfortable shoes, quick changes, constant instructions, and trying to remember everything while still looking like you have it all together.

At 4:00, we had Beauty Bomb with the Coffee Scrub from Roenna.
At 4:15, another Beauty Bomb with Riman and Angie.
Then at 4:30, rehearsals ended.
But the day was far from over.
At 5:30, the IPFW Red Carpet opened, and at 6:30, the IPFW Fashion Show began.

That evening had such a special atmosphere. Everyone looked absolutely beautiful. The glamour, the outfits, the confidence, the cameras, the red carpet, and all the beautiful queens from around the world made the night feel almost unreal.

There are moments during a journey where you suddenly stop and think, I will remember this.

This was one of those moments.
And then came the Pink PJ Party and dress rehearsal.
What a party we had.

After so many intense days, it felt amazing to laugh, dance, celebrate, and just enjoy the magic of being there. We had worked hard. We had rehearsed. We had shown up every day, tired or not. And now, on the last night before the final, we were together in pink, with smiles, excitement, and the kind of joy that only happens when women from all over the world share something unforgettable.

It was fun.

It was glamorous.
It was emotional.
It was chaos in the best possible way.
And it was exactly what we needed before the big day.

The final was waiting for us.

But that night, we celebrated the journey.

We celebrated the friendships.
We celebrated the courage it takes to stand on an international stage.
We celebrated every queen in the room.

I remember feeling both excited and deeply grateful. Grateful for the women I had met. Grateful for the moments that had already happened. Grateful for the lessons, the laughter, the nerves, the beauty, and the memories.

This was the last day before the final, and I could feel my heart preparing itself.

Not just for the stage.
But for the moment.

The moment where everything would come together.

The dresses.
The walk.
The story.
The purpose.
The woman.
Tomorrow was the final.

But this day had already given me so much.

It reminded me that the crown is beautiful, but the journey is what changes you.

Stay tuned for the final day.
