Congratulations to the newly crowned Miss International 2013!

Congratulations to Bea Rose Santiago, who was crowned as the 2013 Miss International in Tokyo, Japan last December 17, 2013! She is also the Philippines' 5th Miss International Title Holder, following the win of Precious Lara Quigaman last 2005.  I was one of the trainers for Bea Rose Santiago before she flew to Japan for the Miss International 2013.  It is an honor to be part of the training team who helped Bea in her journey for her crown, Bea did a marvelous job for her country as she elegantly glided on stage and especially when she gave her winning speech in a very regal and poised manner.

Absolutely fit for the crown!

Adding poise to your style

Sure, you have the best clothes in town, the right make-up and hairstyle and probably a bag that may cost a few months salary for some people.  But if your carriage lacks that spark that makes others say "There's something about that woman...", then all your investment on yourself might be useless, as people may not even notice you go by.  Sometimes, they may even create a negative impression of you.

So it is essential that no matter what style, wardrobe or look you want to have, you match these with the poised, confident and powerful carriage.  One's carriage is usually defined by a person's walk, body language, mannerisms and posture.  Power and confidence in one's carriage can definitely attract more people and create that great first impression that you may want to have.
