Living in southwestern Ontario my entire life has exposed me to all different forms of beautiful architecture – but the same rule that applies to all of us also applies to the buildings we live our lives within; beauty is only skin deep! As with everything, the best beauty one can be exposed to is one with a purpose; a beauty that serves to do more than be something to look at and strives toward a greater good. This very essence of beautiful is what was sought to be achieved by the eco friendly features of City Hall in Cambridge, Ontario, and I can not think of a more beautiful structure.

What is it exactly that makes a building eco-friendly, or as we’ve become to know it, “green”? Generally speaking, it is based on the amount of damage a building does to the environment, but from a more specific angle, there are certain features a building can have that help it to do a very minimal amount of environmental damage. Mainly, a building can have design features that limit the amount of energy required daily, recycle water and air, and encourage “green” behaviour to those who will be in the building.

So what have those involved with the design and construction of City Hall in Cambridge done to make their building as eco friendly as possible? The answer will shock and awe you I’m sure, as it did me.

The Living Wall

The most obvious feature of the building is the “living wall”, a 110m² wall made of tropical plants. The sound of running water and the humidity it provides in the winter make it a comforting asset. As beautiful as it is, its beauty is not its main function; these plants cleanse the air of pollutants (such as formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds, dust, and spores). Talk about “inner beauty”!

Another amazing feature is the building’s water conservation function! All water that hits the building is collected in an enormous 10,000 L tank – this water, which many would deem unfit for use ever again, is used to flush toilets! Water is also conserved by low-flow plumbing fixtures. Low flow features also help in conserving water that would otherwise be wasted. In the instance of toilets, low flow designs use less water per flush, which is possible due to technology that modifies the passageways water travels through in a toilet, allowing a smaller amount of water to travel more vigorously, and thus be more effective. Learn more about low flow plumbing through this video!

The building maintained an eco friendly design from start to finish. During production,

materials such as paint, carpeting, and adhesives were selected that emitted minimal levels of pollutants. Now that the building is in full use every day, there are still eco friendly features everywhere you look! There are sensors that dim light in unoccupied areas where it isn’t needed, and the lighting that is required is low energy. The beautiful glass walls and roofing also do their part, by allowing light – but not heat – to enter and exit the building.

More greenery can be found on the buildings green roof! A portion of the roof is made of native plants, shrubs, and grasses. The roof retains heat in the winter, and keeps cool in the summer, limiting the need for heating and air conditioning. Heating and air conditioning in Canada is for the most part powered by hydroelectricity, which is a better option than burning fuels, but the dams built to generate power can alter the ecosystems in which their built – this is why we want to limit the amount of heating/air conditioning we use (it is also financially beneficial!). TIOCAT coating is another roofing option those designing a building can look into, it also provides a great energy conserving roof, reflecting 89% of solar radiation! Virtually any roof can have TIOCAT coating applied and become a white roof.

Because our planet us so important to us all, it is so crucial that we make strides toward not only being more environmentally friendly ourselves, but helping the homes we live in to be equally environmentally friendly! I am so happy buildings like City Hall in Cambridge help to preserve the planet I love so much, and I encourage all reading this to find ways to decrease their own energy and water use within their home!
 

In today’s society, we grow up being told constantly that our lives can be changed forever in “the blink of an eye”. While I can’t say it happened exactly that quickly for me, I can say it happened when I least expected it.
It was a regular school day for me in the seventh grade, I got to school and met up with my three best girlfriends – I believe we were jumping rope that day, but that’s beside the point. What I had forgotten is that it was the day my class was going to be given the first of a series of 2 immunizations protecting us from meningitis, and I didn’t exactly react well to the reminder. I didn’t like needles and something about that one had me feeling especially uneasy, so uneasy that I passed out. I woke up very afraid and shaky, and because of my medical history the nurses decided it was best I go to the hospital for some chest X-rays and an ECG.
The doctor told me I was fine and all was as it should be, but he wanted a second opinion on my x-rays, he also asked me if I had heard of scoliosis. ” I have” I told him as my heart stopped, I’d read about it in a Judy Blume book that year. The book was called Deenie and was about a young girl who wanted to be a model but was diagnosed with scoliosis and required a back brace, which was a large obstacle for her. I couldn’t be like her, I thought. There was nothing wrong with me. A phone call about a week later confirmed I was wrong. Like Deenie, I was diagnosed with scoliosis.

This is an example of what the spine of someone with scoliosis may look like.

Scoliosis is an abnormal spine curvature, in my case, causing my spine to be shaped like the letter “S”. My specialist couldn’t tell me much, only time could. He measured the degree of my curve and told me some exercises I could try to improve the situation, but also had to tell me that from this point on anything could happen. Some cases improve, some stay the same, but some worsen to the point of requiring surgery. He told me to come back every 3 months and sooner if I started to feel pain, which I did, and was later informed that it was likely a result of the worsened state of my scoliosis. The degree of my spine’s curve was increasing, and my spine was also starting to twist. Because of the severity of my case, my ribs, hips, and shoulders sat unevenly.
These changes became very obvious to me and I was ashamed of them. I was lopsided, I was different, there was something wrong with me. I didn’t want to be self-conscious, but I couldn’t help it. I stopped wearing tight clothing, and began to stick out my “smaller” side in photos as much as I could in an attempt to make it less obvious. I didn’t tell anyone how I felt because I knew they would tell me they didn’t notice – what I didn’t know is that they actually didn’t notice!

Happiness looks good on everyone!

Once I began to tell people how I felt, I learned that I wasn’t the only one who had a silly little thing I wanted to change about myself. In fact, almost everyone I told about my insecurity had a similar one of their one, one I thought was ridiculous, much like they found mine. It is so easy for everyone, teen aged girls in particular, to get caught up in the little things about themselves they don’t like. The problem with these little things, is that we often forget to take them for what they are – really little things! We get distracted and consumed by our insecurities and miss out on the bigger picture, which is all the things that make us wonderful!
Not only do our insecurities prevent us from seeing our best qualities, but they also prevent us from being the very best versions of ourselves. We forget what we’re worth and don’t get the chance to showcase that. If you were to tell me that I would end up on stage in a bikini before I did it, I would’ve said you’re crazy! But realizing all the things that made me a perfect contender for the title of Miss Teen Canada-World made me also realize that maybe being a little lopsided wasn’t so bad!
I love that I am well spoken, and that I am comfortable speaking in front of a very large audience. I love that I am compassionate and it is very easy for me to put myself in the shoes of another. I love my drive and determination, and the way that I have the strength to get back on my feet and try again, even when I have failed in my own eyes. I consider myself to be a good listener and a loyal friend, and I find those to be great qualities that I am very proud of.
Despite the little things that drive us crazy, we are all composed of qualities so amazing that they make the ones we don’t like seem to disappear. This is so important because our self esteem effects who we are entirely! It is my hope that we all find the things we love about ourselves, the things that make us realize we deserve happiness, but unfortunately that isn’t the case. That’s why part of my platform is to encourage youth (and everyone!) to embrace their individuality and see that they are enough.

   Wanna help out? Whether you read this now, or years from now, I want you to go and compliment five people. It could be a close friend, or a total stranger. Tell them something you admire about them, and then leave a comment below stateing something you admire about yourself.

You are amazing and there is no shame in seeing it! 

Thank you for reading, and I look forward to your comments!

Love Always,
Tricia Braunstein, Miss Teen Southwestern Ontario-World 2013

The glitz, the glamour, and the opportunity to have a major voice – isn’t that the dream for every pageant queen!? Well, it just so happens to also be the dream of my friend, Tyson Geick, Much Music VJ hopeful!

Tyson, whose passion is broadcasting, saw Much Music’s open call for a VJ as the opportunity of a life time. The Miss Teen Canada-World organization is close with Much Music, with national contestants appearing in the New Music Live audience during last summers pageant week. Tyson, as well as hundreds of other hopefuls applied with video auditions as the public voted. Tyson eventually made it into the top 20, who has been travelling across Canada on a bus completing challenges on national television.

Unfortunately, this week Tyson was sent home, only as a result of the other contestants considering him to be too much of a threat. What do I think? I think us Much Music and TV lovers want the best VJ possible! Someone who entertains us and relates to us, the biggest threat should be the winner!

Why Tyson?
Tyson was absolutely rocking this competition. He did well in every challenge and was seen as a top contender by all, and a fan favorite. Spending the last 5 years in broadcasting has given him a competitive edge which paired with his natural talent and passion is unstoppable!

Not only that, but Tyson’s story is something everyone can relate to. He is a young Canadian trying to make his dream a reality. He is a sports and hockey fanatic, and plays, sings and writes music. His well-rounded knowledge not only gives him an amazing opportunity to appeal to all sorts of fan-bases, but also makes him great for TV!

 
So where do we come in?

Well, Much Music has issued an opportunity for an eliminated contestant to be voted back on the show – a process designed for contestants who may have suffered a similar fate to Tyson’s. The voteback is April 19th, and we can all help by tweeting #Tyson4VJ and voting on his much music profile. His birthday is April 15th- whats a better present than a second chance at your dream?

In the meantime, follow Tyson on twitter, facebook, and youtube! He retweets your #Tyson4VJ tweets and I promise he appreciates every last bit of support. Hey, wouldn’t it be cool to say that you helped choose the new Much VJ?

Good luck Tyson!! 

Hello bloggers and bloggerettes! In correlation with having posted my Look Good, Do Good, Feel Good video assignment, I want to give a little more in depth explanation as to the making of it, how it was done,what I did and who helped me!

My look good, do good, feel good video was taped by my wonderful father ass I went up to an elderly ladies door. My Look Good, Do Good, Feel Good video was of me taking out the trash to the curb for this elderly lady.

It was a fun experience mainly because of the laughs we all had while shooting the short clip and the smile it brought to the woman from me knocking on her door wanting to do a random good deed!

The lady, who wanted to remain unanymous, loved what we were all doing when I explained the Miss Teen Canada-World pageant, its mission statement, all about the delegates, and what the video was for. She told me how our society needed more  young women like us delegates and that, to me, was a huge compliment!

I loved this video assignment because the Feel Good part is legitamite! Overall it was a great experience and one that I would love to do every day!

Danielle

Hello there blog world! It’s yours truly, Miss Teen Southwestern Ontario-World 2012, comin at you live with the latest and greatest about our mentor night that was held here at the pageant host hotel, The Westin. Monday night was an experience all its own full of life long messages that were truly learnt through experience and most definitely inspired my for the week.

Our first mentor that was introduced was Melani Chong, the creator of the all natural skin care product line known as  Soy Boutique.

Soy Boutique- Melanie!

Having dappled in everything from chemistry, hence the skin care line, to modeling as a Canadian Ford Model and being an athlete in her highschool years, Melani is surely an example of a well rounded woman, well versed in fitness and health, education and the fun of modeling and fashion. She became a Canadian Ford model at the age of 17 and her career took off at the age of 18, all because her father took her to the mall the day of a Ford Supermodel Search.

Not thinking modeling was for her, she gave it a try regardless and worked with Gucci, Armani and Mac Cosmetics, just to name a few. Melani went on to become several more things as she experienced becoming a stylist, a makeup artist and a designer, but it was when she was pregnant with her first son that she started developing  skin care products without chemicals. Melani incorporates fashion, health, and beauty all into one category with her line of Soy Boutique being an all natural, organic line and using the most home grown products as possible.  After describing her endeavors in life and the journey she took to get where she is today, she simply states, ” keep learning and listen to those around you… communicate and ask lots of questions”. Melani explained to all of us young budding and aspiring minds, that you never know where you’ll end up and that its important to always keep developing your message and what you stand for. Her key phrase is one by the great philosopher, Socrates, who said “wisest is he who knows what he does not know.” All in all, Melani, with her inspiring story of life’s opportunities and risk taking, derived one final equation for us to remember in our lives. She expained it as this; passion leads to drive, which leads to core actions which in turn leads to the result of longevity. The idea behind maintaining longevity being that you retain your integrity throughout your lifetime and that you stand true to your message and are always reshaping it. She left us all hanging on one phrase in particular, being that what we think is all that matters in the present, what we think we have at this moment and perhaps all we will ever get?… Melani says that ” this is not IT”. There is so much more waiting for all of us out there, we are never truly “stuck” if we just look for and take opportunities, are always expanding our knowledge and are always listening and learning to those around you. As the great Socrates believed, knowledge is power.

Our second mentor was the fun, caring and super considerate Katrina Hadden, life coach for athletes and author of “Making It In High Heels“. As a size 12 model and loving it, Katrina began by telling us how she was impressed by all of our stories and biographies and she even wrote each one of us 62 delegates a card! By far one of the most considerate and truly kind people I have ever had the chance of meeting! Back to Katrina though, growing up, she tells us, she was always the tall girl, the one picked on and known as “Big Bird”, etc. but despite the bullying, she stayed busy with basketball.

The beautiful Katrina Hadden!

What made her good at basketball you ask? Well, Katrina explained to us how she had a trick of visualizing the ball going in the basket before she actually took the shot. This trick was later used in Hadden’s life as I will explain. When she incurred injury, Katrina decided to create a new dream and form a new goal. She didn’t think modeling was for her, but after a long time of not “fitting” in any exact modeling category for body/size type she developped an eating disorder in order to try and fit into a certain category. Hadden says it wasn’t an easy time and I think that almost every girl in todays society can relate.  Though it wasn’t an easy time, she overcame it by surrounding herself with people that were interested and worked in health and fitness and she became a trainer. Back to the visualizing the ball technique, Katrina used this to move to Toronto and accomplish her goal. She met up with Ben Barry Agency who embrace diversity and Hadden auditioned for a panasonic commercial which she landed because of her energy, glow and confidence which set her apart.

When working with CTV, City Line and Dove, she realized her dream came true. Katrina’s core message to us was this;  that confidence takes time to build and that we should work with what we have because we are all unique in our own way. She  also described the 5 things that a good role model possess’, them being;  taking care of body and health, finding an interest or hobby, carrying an attitude of gratitude in everything you do and everywhere you go and finally forgiveness and not letting the sun set on your anger. Katrina finished off her inspiring story with a poem/quote that her mother gave her in grade 6 titled “Don’t quit”. Katrina is an amazing mentor because her story gave her experience to be able to testify with. She had lived through the bullying and the pressure that society pushes on our generation to be the next ” perfect” body type. Katrina was so inspiring to hear because she was real and down to earth. She believed in herself and with such a strong belief and self confidence that grew over time, she accomplished her goals.

Our third mentor was the one and only Alexandra Orlando, a Canadian athlete and motivational speaker. Orlando is also the author of the book Breaking Through My Limits: An Olympian Uncovered. Orlando started off her speaking by telling us that we are ALL still learning, we are all constantly learning.

Amazing olympian and motivational speaker, Alexandra Orlando!

She stressed the idea that in our time in life we don’t know who we are but we can figure out who we aspire to be and what you stand for! Its at this time of life that we realize just how strong we are! She told all of us to remember that we are so much stronger than we think we are, and it’s so true! There are so many times in everyones lives where we have done things we didn’t even know we could do and I think those moments are exact examples of what Alexandra was telling us. Alexandras second book, she goes on to tell, is a tad bit more scandalous and gives us readers an in depth look through her own personal journal. She explains to us how she hit rock bottom at some periods in her life but then said how important is was that we don’t feel alone.

When speaking about the olympics, Orlando says it wasn’t a pretty road but that with all the people she met and the opportunities she had, she reminded us that we always need to acknowledge those that helped get you to where you are. Alexandra spoke to us about an inspiring story about achieving her goals; being that in 2003 and at the young age of 15, she had never experience failure or defeat. When she missed qualifying for the world championships at the olympics by 1/10th of a point, it was the first time she didn’t get what she wanted, and this threw her into some turmoil. She got out of this with the help of her family and friends, but also this thought; did not achieving that one goal take the last 12 years out of my life?  This was when Alexandra realized that its not about winning, because winning is short lived, but its about the journey to get there that makes you who you are and its the pushing yourself to  be your best and thats what matters!

Orlando explained to us that after her first defeat, it was hard to get going again because she was constantly told that she could never make it because of how her body had changed when she went back to the sport after her break period. This was another time of her life that Alexandra realized something important, that being that you realize when you really want something, because you’re not going to put up a fight if it doesn’t mean something to you, like gymnastics meant to her.

Her parting words and advice were as follows; learn from the winning AND the failing, dont be scared of failing and weakness but be open and give it your all so you’ll have no regrets, and finally, take huge risks and just go for it.

Our fourth and final mentor, was last but certainly not least Dr. Natalie Archer, the dynamic Toronto dentist  who works with geriatric dental care, who started off her career in 2001.

Dr.Archer!

She started off her mentor speech by telling us what she thought of the Miss Teen Canada World mission statement, explaining how she loves it and that she thinks its important for strong women to be their own kind of beautiful. Dr. Archer described to us a conversation she had with her babysitters once, in relation to all of our delegates` future plans, and how the kids she talked with told her how they didn`t know what they wanted to do with the rest of their lives. She led in with this and ended this thought with the advice that we should all keep lots of opportunities open to us and embrace everything that comes our way. She also put a stress on education and how it is the one thing that nobody can take away form you!

Dr. Archers main message to all of us delegates was to “build our own web“, and how you in relation to opportunities and taking them, you never know when or where a fly is going to get caught.  Another thing that she stressed in her speech to us, was honesty, and that a good mentor and good mentorship brought honesty to the table.

Dr. Archer finished with her key to success being this; advanced planning and working hard. Society needs women who take calculated business risks, and we are those next women who are up for the challenge! With all the young women today getting great educations and with mission statements like that of Miss Teen Canada-World pageant, women really can make a difference in today`s society.

All in all, it was a great experience to hear every single of these amazing women speak about their lives, their goals, their achievements and their struggles. Their truthfulness and honesty about the reality of life really was the inspiring part because they are examples of women in today`s world who `made it“ and didn`t quit or give up when the going got tough. This is what made them stronger, and that is what makes them such great mentors for young girls like us! A huge thank you to all of them!

So, how about that ride in eh? I geuss that’s why they call it T-Dot. You guys might not know this, but I considered yesterday as super fun! First and foremost, let me begin by explaining what we did!

Starting off our morning quite early and leading in with the phrase, “the early bird catches the worm”, we caught it in the form of a bus going to the set of Breakfast Television downtown Toronto.

Danielle x2 at the set of Breakfast Television!

Sitting in on the show, it was so fun to see how everything was  managed and even just the goings on in a newsroom studio! We had the opportunity of meeting Kevin Frankish and Jennifer Valentyne and a few of us were interviewed by Jennifer, who then proceeded to memorize almost all, and I mean ALMOST all of our 62 names! It was incredible!

We afterwards went to a lovely breakfast restaurant where the birds and wasps were in full force and we had some fun photo ops with a few young passers by!

Shelby and I at breakfast!

We then donned our sailor caps and hauled anchor for a boat cruise with Captain Bob for a tour of Toronto par l’eau and to the island. The nice breeze, fun music and good times were extremely nice in the middle of our hectic schedules!

We later docked and said goodye to Cap`n Bob and his first mate and followed up by a delicious lunch.

Waiting in line for a drink on the Island Princess tour boat!

After a nice nap and blog writing cramming session, rehearsals were started for the pageant show! With Shawn Cuffie managin us 62 girls we were sure to get on just fine and we made it out unscathed and well rehearsed and versed in our poses, routines and walks. Dinner was served and was delicious as always. With so much going on everyday and so many new experiences and incredible people it’s hard to find where the time goes in each day!

A huge thank you to all my sponsors, supporters, family and friends and a quick reminder to keep voting for me until saturday the 21st!

So the Miss Teen Canada-World 2012 pageant week is well underway, after saturday, sunday and monday under foot… or should I say heel? ( mind the bad jokes).

Our lovely hotel!

To stay up to date, let’s start with saturday! Saturday I arrived at the Westin Hotel near the Toronto Airport with luggage for practically 6… lugging them around was a workout in itself I might add. After registering, meeting my wonderful roomate Nichelle Thomson and meeting all of the other delegates, we went down to see some of our great sponsors in the competition!

One of our awesome sponsors!

Cheeky Monkey Cosmetics, S-Trip, Free The Children and Sallazzo slippers all came out and gave us amazing gifts and information! A huge thank you to all of them!

Sunday rolled around nicely, having gotten up and ready for the day. Rushed down to breakfast to claim the grub and began the day! We started out getting  our glamorous hair and makeup done by the wonderful hair and makeup teams and then proceeded to change into our cocktail dresses for the photoshoot and the video shoot. Afterwards came the preliminary interviews! Decked out in our suits and business chic attire and our glam outfits, the day was a complete success! A lot accomplished and a lot of exciting things already happening! After the two shoots and the interviews, a mentorship night was held( explained in depth in a later blog post from yours truly). All I can say is that it is so comforting and incredible to have women like the mentors who spoke, in our world today and as our role models. I am so thankful to have these women come before me and explain their struggles in trying to have us understand that there`s more than just struggle, its about getting back up and going right back at your goal, heart and soul.

On monday, all that has happened as it has left many of us excited about the day, and about bunking down in our beds for a few hours The day started with breaky and a wonderfully invigorating and intense workout at Extreme Fitness gym. After taking the bus with the one and only cowboy, city slicker, Harvey and saying hi to his girlfriend Leah through his phone, The lesson was held by Stephanie Joanne where we worked out the three main components of fitness; flexibility, cardio, and strength training. In our sashes, we sweat it out at the gym while being filmed for City Line! The workout was followed by the fresh, tasty and filling Fuel Foods giving us lunch which tasted nothing short of superb!

Stephanie Joanne gave us all an amazing workout and made us all break a sweat for City Line!

Tune in on wednesday July 25th to view the clips at the gym on City TV’s Cityline and visit www.stephaniejoanne.com, www.extremefitness.ca and www.fuelfoods.ca for more information about healthy eating and exercise and all about fitness! All in all, the morning and afternoon were full of information about a better and healthier you!

Until next blog!

The beautiful Monaco- MonteCarlo

  If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go? My answer? Monaco, the country about the same size as Central Park in New York.

   Monaco is located on the beautiful Mediterranean Sea with France on three of its sides. With cultures infused within the country such as Italian, French and Monegasque, Monaco looks to be a cultural experience all its own!

           I would LOVE to visit Monaco for many reasons. Firstly I’d like to visit because of the rich social life that thrives in Monaco revolving around Monte Carlo. The amount of tourists visiting surely serves as an indication of interest and a love for the beautiful place, so why not visit?!

Monaco on the map

     Secondly, the cultural experience that pervades the streets what with the mix of Italian, French and Monagasque heritages, foods and languages. Being Italian and fluent in French, I believe I would enjoy the immersion into the cultural mix.

         A third reason to visit Monaco is one that brings flocks of tourists. Every spring, the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix offers tons of excitement to all onlookers as the cars race through the city streets! Other events include the Rose Ball, visiting the famous Opera House and also the International Circus Festival. As one of the worlds most internationally known races, I’m excited to be a spectator!

            Finally, another reason to visit Monaco is to experience the beautiful scenery, breathtaking beaches and picturesque views. On the edge of the Mediterranean Sea, Monaco’s oceanic view is spectacular. The cliffs, bright blue waters and sparkling beaches all add to the already beautiful, luxurious and culture rich city of Monte Carlo. With the Marina, Princess Grace Rose Gardens and Monte-Carlo all lit up at night, Monaco is a prominent scene in any artists sketchbook.

            On my dream vacation, I would bring a few of my closest friends. Monaco is a lively, classy country full of fun and luxury and I think my friends and I would be up to taking on the famous hot spots and venues all decked out in our best! I think that travelling Monaco would be an experience in itself as well, with the steep mountains and cliffs and winding roads.

Monaco is a bright and beautiful country with tons to offer in the way of entertainment, sight seeing, shopping and even just relaxing and taking in the history and culture! If I could take a trip anywhere with friends, Monaco would be the destination!
