Order your RAVISH SANDS suit: (use my code for a discount “Pamelaj”) Make sure you discuss suit details with your coach before ordering! There are many aspects of the suit cut and stoning that influence the final look on show day. DO NOT ORDER without asking your coach about “suit cut” and details. 

Hire and meet with a posing coach once a week until show day: PLEASE also discuss the hiring of your posing coach with your prep coach! This is super important. Your coach and posing coach should have a good working relationship and be in communication with each other regarding every aspect of your competition package. 

Order a pre tan kit appropriate for your competition.

Order show shoes. if you have not done so, I highly recommend ordering them from The Shoe Fairy. Use code “Pamelaj”for a discount!

Order 2 pairs of all jewelry. Earrings, bracelets, rings–trust me! I ordered from AMAZON. Super cheap and fast!

Order AMILEAN lotion to be used on those stubborn fatty areas!

Be sure and make that cardio and nutrition top priority!
