All about me

And incredibly overwhelmed to announce for the first time that I am Charley Smith your Miss Natural Beauty England 2023-2024 🤩
BELGIUM HERE WE COME 🇧🇪

(A bigger post and thank yous will follow when I’ve caught up on sleep but massive thank you to everyone who has supported me this weekend and who cheered me on) ❤️

I don’t have a photo from my first pageant unfortunately so…

This second photo is from my second pageant where I won Junior Miss Personality with my bestie Molly Robinson Harding ❤️

The next photo is my first pagenat as a Miss at Miss Cheshire where I won’t Miss Popularity and was lucky enough to go onto Miss England before I stopped competing due to Covid.

The last photo is all my sashes I collected in my first pagenat journey 2017-2019 ❤️

I compete in pageants because honestly I’m addicted. No matter what I say or how many times I convinced I’m done I always come back… I can’t leave 😂.

I have too many friends that I can’t leave behind I’ve got to follow their journeys till the day I die. Pageantry is my home and my comfort ❤️

Evening Wear Sneak Peak…

Ermm yea again… I’m unprepared sorry 🤷🏻‍♀️

Building the anticipation for next weekend 😌

Party Wear Sneak Peak…

Ermmm… is not a good time to say I’ve not actually got my party wear sorted yet 😬

It’ll all be fine… right 🫣

My favourite appearance would have to be United Kingdom Endeavour. Despite the very long day I have so many incredible pagenat friends within the Endeavour system and it’s always an absolute joy watching them smash the stage and even better when they all success like the queens they are. Some of my all time favourite moments and walks have taken place at Endeavour 💚

What am I most proud of?

I’m proud of everyone who woke up this morning and carried on. Weather you had a busy day or a lazy day you still made an effort 🤍

While there are so many amazing Natural Beauty Queens I’d have to go with the beautiful Ruby Cunliffe her dedication over the years to win her dream title is exceptional and she’s a very worthy queen. Ruby supports so many, holds so many events as well as attending so many events even on the same days she then goes to work as well as juggling school. Ruby has achieved so much at such a young age and is definitely an inspiration to many 🤍

Why did I choose Natural Beauty…

Linda Sym and Ruby Cunliffe have to be two of the nicest people I’ve met throughout pageantry and are a fantastic credit to the system. The love and support they have for everyone is what pageantry is all about. No matter what my journey takes me I can safely vow that I’ll always find myself at Linda’s annual pageants (there’s not much that would stop me). For me it was very important that when choosing my next system I choose one where I would feel loved and valued as well as part of a family and I feel everyone in natural beauty is so supportive, friendly and really is one massive family. I’m very grateful to have this opportunity 💜🤍
