Professional fitness instructor and personal trainer Charlotte Mooney is an inspiring young woman. The mid-twenties Los Angeles beach bombshell has kept fitness a major priority in her life, effortless transitioning the hobby into a successful career. Mooney's instagram alone renders enough motivation for an Average Joe to spontaneously sign up for a local marathon. Fitness is not a chore for Mooney, it's an exciting, stimulating lifestyle.
For almost every young woman in the country, any notion of the Miss America pageant immediately floods the mind with vivid memories of watching the coveted showcase year after year. Messy pigtails, fuzzy pajamas, and the sweet aroma of stovetop popcorn from the kitchen accompany thoughts of the electrifying event.

A woman true to herself, exuding charisma galore, capturing a room with her radiance? And most of all, with her heart beaming the joy of Christ? Cue, blogger Bailey Hurley.
It's no question that Britani D'Alie is strikingly beautiful. When D'Alie walks (or glides, rather) into a room, eyes tend to linger a while on the tall, gorgeous blonde.
D'Alie was crowned Mrs. Wisconsin 2015, filling her agenda with appearances, parades, banquets, and events. She competed in Mrs. United States in Las Vegas and won the title of second-runner-up against all fifty women.
The Palo Alto-based beauty Sarah Lipps is young (mid-twenties!), uber healthy, and incredibly business oriented - having founded the successful health shop Bare Bowls. Sarah is as calm as a cucumber, but don't underestimate her determination. She is motivated, and she gets things done. Well.
Sarah has been interested in health, fitness, and well-being as long as she can remember. It's no wonder, therefore, why her two acai-bowl cafes are not only successful, but thriving.

Everyone tries to answer the million dollar question: what's the healthiest, best way to feel good and get fit?
It's pretty safe to say (just about) every girly girl has had a dream at one point or another to become a Disney Princess. Cinderella... Belle... Elsa... they're chic and glamorous and alluring in every way possible. From their gowns to their glass slippers to their tiaras to their (charming) grit, they are, well, perfect.
Often, young women in showbiz treat themselves as eye candy or a prop, placing all their marbles in their "beautiful looks" basket, sacrificing their morals, education, or relationships with friends, family, and God.
Taylor Kalupa breaks that stereotype. She is obviously gorgeous, yet that's not all that defines her! In fact, it doesn't even break the surface.
Brittany Dawn, recently married to equally accomplished Anthony Kennada, has quite the résumé for being in her mid-twenties. Since being crowned Miss Arizona USA in 2011, she's trailblazed through modeling, showbiz, and hosting, turning everything she touches to gold. As the face of NBC's hit show Grimm, a model for Sherri Hill, and the former host of Arizona's Fashion Week, Brittany finds success everywhere she turns. A natural on the red carpet, she's interviewed Kendall Jenner, Donald Trump, and everyone in between.
