Melissa Pocza - Mrs. International 2017

People's Choice Award

1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
Since my family is my most valuable treasure, my husband and children make me smile! It took me over four years and many heartbreaks to finally conceive my youngest son. The gratitude and joy I feel having my boys in my life is indescribable. We laugh together, travel together, and enjoy all of life’s accomplishments together. Not to mention, life with all boys is full of nonstop smiles and laughter!

2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
My husband and I make it a priority for bi-weekly date nights at a minimum. After 11 years of marriage and 15 years together, I still appreciate his southern charm and true chivalry. I love being wined and dined! Our typical date nights consist of fine dining (we’re both big “foodies"), romantic movies, attending our favorite charity events, fun activities with friends, or a relaxing evening on the water.

3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
I relax by putting time back into myself. I run to relieve stress and decompress daily. I also enjoy reading books for personal and spiritual growth. Additionally, I make time for “mommy days” with my girlfriends, for spa dates filled with all the "fluff" girls love to pamper themselves with! I think as a mom, wife, advocate, boss, etc…if you don’t invest back into yourself, you may not have as much to give to others.

4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
Simple is more! I’ve never been one to gravitate towards prints, patterns, or accessories. I’ve been 6’ tall since I was 11 years old. I don’t typically choose things that make me stand out more. I’ve always felt better downplaying a classic and elegant style. I think we look our best when we feel our best, and I feel my best when I’m simply and elegantly understated. It allows me to standout by being myself!
