Today, we are SO excited for you to meet Miss Ohio USA, Kristin Smith.
Not only is the leading lady a natural born stunner, but she also radiates happiness and positivity. Her affinity for all that life brings and desire to inspire others cannot be ignored.
While the chance to take home the Miss USA crown lingers and having just starred in Luke Bryan’s new music video, Buzzkill , the soon to be Miami University grad stays grounded and is soaking up every minute.
Check out our fun interview with Kristin and be sure to cheer her on as she represents the state of Ohio in the Miss USA Pageant this June!!

Name:
Kristin Smith
My life’s Motto is:
Though I have many mottos I live by, one of my favorites is: She turned her can’ts into cans and her dreams into plans.
German Chocolate cake or a dark-chocolate covered strawberry (I have a HUGE sweet tooth!)
…are my secret indulgences.
This summer you’ll find me wearing:
a smile and a bikini! And hopefully the miss USA crown 🙂
My parents
…are the Most Inspirational People I know.
they gave me everything that they could and helped shape me into the well-rounded person that I am today!
The first thing I do when I wake up is:
Wish I had five more minutes of sleep! The worst is waking up before your alarm goes off and not being able to go back to sleep!

City or Beach?
Can’t I have both? To have both is the perfect combination–peace and serenity from the beach, as well as the fun, fast-paced craziness that the city brings! It is why I love LA!
My Style Icon Is:
Giuliana Rancic and Rachel Zoe because they are both fashion forward, unique people! They wear whatever they want, not caring what others think!
Stepping outside of my comfort zone, competing in Miss Ohio USA for the first time, and winning!
…is my Biggest Accomplishment.
I am usually a reserved, more quiet person, so I was really proud of myself!
My best kept beauty secret is:
Vaseline- I put it on my eyelashes before I go to bed. It keeps my lashes lush and healthy!
My Guilty Pleasure is:
It’s a little embarrassing, but I love a “good” bad reality show! A current favorite is Duck Dynasty, haha!
Saturday night you’ll find me:
Having fun! Going on a “date night” consisting of dinner and a movie or out on the town!
I never leave the house without my:
Phone- It is my lifeline to the important people in my life 🙂

The Best Advice I’ve ever received was:
Don’t let the criticism of others bother you, let it better you!
My greatest wish is:
To stay as happy as I am today!
Sliced veggies and hummus
…are my go-to healthy snack.
My favorite designers are:
Alice + Olivia, Michael Kors, and Rachel Roy to name a few!
I de-stress by:
Hanging out with Matt and Henry! 🙂 Working out and of course, shopping… What every chic chick loves!
Social media, of course…
is how I stay chic & connected.
My current favorite is Instagram because I love taking pictures and looking at them. Follow me at missohiousa2013! I also love Pinterest, it is a great way to learn how to create cute DIY items that can always come in handy!
