I'd like to introduce someone to you for this blog post. I "met" Bridget the season that I competed on Project Run and Play. I don't know if she voted for me each week (and I won't ask) but she encouraged and supported me with words along the way. When I decided to start Sofiona… Continue reading The Bag With a Mission

The Tundra Top

If you're not already aware, Sofiona Designs names all… Continue reading Narwhal Swimsuit
