UBC: Who is Natalie Glebova before being a BEAUTY QUEEN?
Natalie: Before becoming a beauty queen, I was a regular student at University in my hometown in Toronto, Canada. I studied Information Technology Management and graduated right before winning the title of Miss Universe Canada 2005.
UBC: Why did you joined Miss Universe?
Natalie: I decided to join Miss Universe Canada competition because I loved the feeling of performing on stage, and getting that rush of excitement from competition. I also really wanted to represent Canada on the world stage. For me, Miss Universe contest is so glamorous and prestigious, so I wanted to be part of it.
UBC: How did you handled the pressure in the pageant last 2005?
Natalie: I must say there were moments that the pressure did get to me during the competition in 2005, but I kept reminding myself why I was doing it, and kept my focus on doing the best I can. It also helped to have wonderful friends in the pageant: Misses Israel, Latvia, Russia, Ukraine and Georgia. We were very close and supported each other throughout the 3 weeks of the competition.
UBC: How did you prepared for the pageants?
Natalie: I kept a very detailed 'to-do' list while preparing for the pageant. I wrote out exactly what I needed to improve or do in order to be my best. I addressed all areas of the competition, from physical fitness, to answering questions, to wardrobe, makeup, hair, and stage presence.
UBC: After winning the crown, how did it changed your life?
Natalie: My life changed completely after winning the crown. Going from living a pretty regular life, to whirl-wind traveling and living in NYC for the year was a huge change. It was the most interesting year of my life but also one of the hardest.
UBC: In your reign, how did you balance time for family and being a titleholder?
Natalie: It was hard to balance family/friends with my crazy-paced life. I mostly focused on what I had to do at that moment, and always tried to keep in touch with everyone who is important to me.
UBC: What is your advocacy in this time?
Natalie: I'm a big advocate for healthy lifestyle, fitness and proper nutrition for all ages. I write articles and answer fan's questions related to wellness and beauty www.hhblife.com and I feel very passionate about helping people improve their quality of life with healthier lifestyle habits.
UBC: What advice can you give to those women who wants to be like you?
Natalie: My advice to those who want to follow in my footsteps, is to know exactly what you want, write it down (being as specific as possible), and follow through with a detailed action plan. Visualize what you want to happen daily, and keep striving for your dreams until they become reality.
