We just finished our first day of competition here and almost everything went good. Our hearts were crushed when Shayla had to pull out due to any injury that closed her Olympic dream. I just hope she knows that we are all here for her and are with her every step of the way for [...]

Its crazy to think that we are finally on the last stretch of this long selection process. We all arrived at camp yesterday and have had two practices. Yesterday it was like a big reunion. I know its only been like two weeks since we last saw each other but we are all just really [...]

Molly Stern worked with all of us personally to come up with our own personal look and style to kind of promote with CoverGirl and all of their great products. She taught us so much about making urself look and feel great by applying the least amount of make up and going by her motto [...]

Nastia, Alicia, and I got to fly directly to New York from trials for a super fun photo shoot and promotional business trip for CoverGirl as the official new “CoverGirls” for the company. How crazy is it to think that i’m the new CoverGirl?! It is so excited but kind of unreal. I am also [...]

Chellsie, Nastia and I head off to the arena bright and early to do a little sneak peak to the trials on the today show. We had a great time… got a little starbucks and dunkin donuts before we left (healthy stuff) and were pampered with hair and make-up when we got there. It was [...]

I got to meet and hang out with so many cool people before and after the competition. I have to tell you i was in some pretty great company. After the competition i went out to dinner with my family and agent and a lot of people came to hang out and talk to us [...]

There were so many articles every day leading up to the trials and after. Especially articles regarding me and nastia’s relationship… haha. No one can ever believe that we are actually friends!! Of course we are both really intense competitors but out of the arena we are like best friends. we went out to lunch [...]
