As a mother of three young children, how do you balance family life while running a small business?

I think as women, we are inherently capable of juggling many things at once. We see so many amazing women who are running their own businesses, building empires, taking care of their kids and family, and looking fabulous while doing so. It’s similar to the age old question, “Can women really have it all?” And I think that now, more than ever, the answer is a resounding “Yes!” www.bellasophiajewels.com

What are some jewelry trends we are seeing right now?

Jewelry, like everything else in fashion, is cyclical. It changes so quickly, and trends that we thought were gone forever are suddenly back. I would say silver jewelry is having a comeback, and so are mixed metals, which I love.

What does the word power mean to you?

There’s nothing more empowering than being completely comfortable in your own skin and not letting anyone else define you.
