I am Blaine Ochoa, the reigning Miss Houston USA 2019. I am also an actress, published writer, singer, entrepreneur and humanitarian. I grew up in Crystal Beach, Texas on the Bolivar Peninsula, graduated from High Island High School as Valedictorian, and went on to get my Bachelors Degree in Communication Studies from Texas State University. I am a columnist for Bay Area Houston Magazine and have contributed on-air for a variety of TV stations. I am the founder of the inspirational beauty and health blog, Beauty with Blaine, which has been a featured video segment for KHEA Radio and column in LCA Houston Magazine. I recently started my own cosmetics company in 2020, Blaine Beauty, LLC - which is laughing this Summer! I am very passionate about international child sponsorship and aid, funding food and education initiatives. I enjoy traveling, going to the beach, dancing, and spending time with friends and loved ones.
What is your dream profession/passion?
Being a recording artist and actress has always been my dream profession since I was a little girl. I have a passion for the music and entertainment industry and have always loved performing and being on stage. I am actively pursing these dreams and am excited to announce that I will be in my first movie, premiering this Fall! I also plan to release a single towards the end of 2020.
What female has inspired you to find your glamour within?
I would have to say - my mother, Joanne King Herring, JLO, Shakira, Selena Quintanilla and Catherine Zeta Jones. All for different reasons! Haha.
When did you learn about the importance of self love?
At a young age, my mother always told me I was special and that I was created for a great purpose. I have always believed that Jesus/God loves me and I learned of my value and self worth because of Him and His grace. He created me in a specific and unique way, I am the only ‘me’ there is; and everyone else is also created different and special in there own way.
There has been moments where I’ve been insecure, and also done things that I realize now that weren’t showing self love to myself by some of my actions.
Self love means to respect yourself and learn to be happy with who you are on the inside and outside.
If you could tell your younger self one thing about self love, what would it be?
Never doubt yourself.
How do you encourage and promote self love to other?
Self love is taking care of your mind, body, heart and soul to the best of your ability. It is knowing yourself and loving yourself admist your imperfections. It means showing up and being the best version of yourself daily.
My message to others is that we all have a great power within and are capable of fulfilling our destinies.
What does the Glam By Sam motto (“find your glamour within”) mean to you?
Beauty comes from the heart and shines outwards. “Finding my glamour within” means loving myself on the inside and letting that shine through on the outside, and always being authentic.
How do you find your glamour within on a daily basis?
By treating each day as a gift; and opportunity to better myself and help others. I believe in showing love, kindness and understanding to others. Helping and uplifting people I feel is my obligation. I am also the Owner/CEO of Blaine Beauty, LLC, which is a cosmetics line that I am launching this Summer.
I am very excited about this venture because it is another way for me to help women feel empowered, beautiful and confident.
