Ladies, You're Welcome!


Today’s “treasure”…..

Anyone else out there a huge Tim Tebow fan? How about just fans of hot guys who have some morals? I haven’t even gotten to the article yet, but the cover photo of the September 2012 GQ Magazine brought a smile to my face when I saw it. Since I was a college Freshman, I’ve had a framed GQ cover of Troy Aikman hanging in the spare bedroom of every apartment (and now my house) that I’ve lived in. Troy – meet your replacement….




(Mental note – taking a webcam photo of the Tebow cover in front of your husband may be a bad idea as he’s now glaring at the magazine. He, he – oops!). This little beauty is on newsstands now!

Hello little blog! I've missed you!!

Wow!  It's really been almost 4 years since my last blog.  A lot has changed since then....

First of all, I no longer have my online jewelry business.  I brought me so much joy for several years, but the inspiration to create simply left me.  I sold most of my supplies on e-Bay and called it a day.  Maybe one day I'll be inspired again, but until then, I'll stick to buying and selling Lia Sophia (you can visit my website at http://sites.liasophia.com/sites/jewelryaddict) if you're interested in purchasing some goodies. 

My husband, Scott, and I will be celebrating our 4-year wedding anniversary on 9/27/12.  I would love to say marriage has been easy, but it's not.  It seems it's a never-ending negotiation process.  Right now, we're trying to figure out the plan God has for our lives....

Since my last blog, I gained 25 pounds and am now on a mission to loose that weight, as well as about 35 more.  I've been working out with a personal trainer and so far, have lost 12 of the desired 50 pounds.  I've been watching what I eat more, exercising 2-3 times a week (strength training and cardio), and logging my progress on this great little iPhone app I found called "Lose It".  You type in your height, weight, and how much you want to lose, and it tells you how many calories you should eat a day to reach your goal weight.  It says I can have 1452 calories per day, which is very do-able.  I'll keep you updated on my progress...

Most recently, I've discovered beauty boxes.  I just signed up for about 6 (or 8, but who's counting) of them and will post reviews of them next month when they start arriving (I'm so excited)!!  Why do this?  Because reading/viewing blogs and YouTube videos is how I decided which ones to sign up for.  So, if this little blog can help you find some great deals, then I'm all for it.

Welcome to my life!  May it bless you (or at least make you laugh from time-to-time)....

Cheers!
Stephanie
