...still news, nonetheless.
I started selling lia sophia jewelry through at-home parties in January, and would like all of my alumni friends to know!

I am having a great time and good success doing this; I am running my own business and making enough money to perhaps be able to afford two tuitions to the U of I in 2017 and 2020, respectively.

If you like jewelry, you will love lia sophia! The company is gaining a ton of momentum in the Chicago area as well as across the US, and everything we sell comes with a lifetime replacement guarantee.
