New Year, New Me, New Blog

Hello blog friends!! I'm sorry I've been so MIA, life has been all sorts of crazy the past few weeks. For starters, my family is living in a rental home due to a massive flood that happened because of a leaky toilet. So the holidays were a little sad because we had to pack up our whole house during that time. But the end result shall be amazing because our 30 year old house gets a complete and total renovation covered by our insurance company! AHHH

On top of designing my jewelry line, I also had a day job being an administrative assistant. Well shortly before Christmas, my boss let me go due to budget cuts. I was super bummed at first, but realized this was meant to be.

So in hopes of beefing this blog up and making more awesome jewelry in 2013 I decided to buy myself a new Macbook and get the ball rolling. While I will blog about my jewelry line and other things in relation to design and fashion. I figure that way I can blog about a whole variety of things and not just jewelry!

I have also decided to get back into the healthy lifestyle roll. A few years ago, a former close friend made a really mean comment about my weight and ignited a fire that lead to me losing up to 60 pounds. Unfortunately a lot of family issues and stress with school helped me gain that weight back. First step in  hopes of getting back to that great place, I have cut out soft drinks completely. So far it's been pretty good! Next up will be implementing a stricter workout schedule! (blah)

Anyways, I hope that everyone has had a great 2013 so far! Let's make it great together!!!

xoxo,

  3. Stopping by from WILW... Can't wait to see some of your jewelry! Cutting out soda is a great way to start losing weight! They have so much unnecessary sugar which leads to no good calories. Great decision. You can do it!!

  7. I'm so sorry about the mean weight comment from your former friend. That's terrible! I am rooting for you and your weight loss! My two recommendations: The Lose It app for your phone and if you miss soda too much the sodastream is AWESOME. I just carbonate water and put it in juices/flavors without unnatural ingredients and overloaded sugars. I was able to get one for $39 and love, love, love it! Keep up the amazing work. =)
