Plus she just started something even more exciting, but I'm gonna let her tell you about it. So without further ado meet The Messy Girl of the Month - the adorable & fabulous ---->
Hello, hello! My name is Brie and I blog over at Sophistifunk. I also recently started an online shop selling jewelry.
Here's a little background about how Sophistifunk: The Shop came to be:
My dad was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer in October of 2011. He had never smoked and was only 44 years old, so it came as a huge shock to my family. He was a well known high school football coach in the Phoenix area and as soon as he was diagnosed, the community rallied together for him and created Team Bemis. They raised money for our family to help pay for his rising medical bills.
My dad passed away in January 2012, just three months after his diagnosis. Seeing my dad go through such a gruesome process of radiation and chemotherapy made me want to do something to help cancer patients and thank the community for all they'd done for our family.
I've made jewelry for family and friends for years but decided that I wanted to create a business out of it with a percentage of proceeds going towards various cancer charities. Last month, I was able to donate over $100 to the Ronan Thompson Foundation which goes towards finding a cure for Neuroblastoma, a form of pediatric (childhood) cancer.
