On May 6, 2012, Ashley Mosier competed in the Mrs. Missouri United States pageant in St. Joseph, Missouri.
Ashley is a resident of Dexter. She and her husband Justin are the proud parents of Landon, age seven, and Jett, age two. Ashley holds a bachelor’s degree from Southeast Missouri State University, and is the owner of Halo. Halo is a salon and day spa located in Dexter. Ashley enjoys camping, fishing, and traveling with her family.
At the Mrs. Missouri pageant, Ashley won Miss Congeniality, and was named first runner up. Aquillia Vang of Waynesville, Missouri was crowned. In July, Aquillia competed in the Mrs. United States pageant held in Las Vegas and she won.
Three weeks after Aquillia’s win, Vanbros and Associates contacted Ashley. Vanbros and Associates is the company that produces the pageant. “They asked if I would like to take over the title and I said yes,” recalls Ashley.
This past weekend Ashley traveled to Kansas City to be officially crowned Mrs. Missouri. The crowning was viewed live on KHBS News. This was a very exciting time for Ashley Mosier.
“The reason I initially decided to do the pageant was so that I would become motivated to lose the remaining baby weight I had from my son, Jet, who just turned two.” Ashley knew that if she had to get on stage in a bikini she would really buckle down and get into shape, and she did it!
“I feel like getting ready for the pageant was an awesome experience because it made me get in the best physical and also mental shape of my life.” Ashley says she would encourage any married woman to do this because it has been so fun for her.
“Sometimes as wives and mothers we forget to take time for ourselves because we’re so busy worrying about taking care of our spouses and children. This gave me the opportunity to do something that made me feel more confident. My husband and children also loved it because they loved to see me on stage,” says Ashley.
Ashley’s family was very proud of her. “My six year old son was the happiest of them all. He came racing out to me as soon as I pulled into the driveway Sunday and couldn’t wait to see the crown. It was too funny.”
Ashley closed by saying, “It has been a whole family deal, and I couldn’t be happier with the way things turned out.”
During her reign, Ashley plans to work closely with the Look Good Feel Better program. As a volunteer cosmetologist and area trainer for LGFB, she teaches female cancer patients how to cope with the physical and cosmetic side effects of treatments, as well as educating other cosmetologists on how to conduct patient workshops.
We are proud of Ashley and all her accomplishments thus far, and we wish her the best of luck in all her future endeavors.
