Welcome to my blog. Let me begin by giving you 3 facts about who I am.
I envied these beautiful, thin women and the confidence within their skin. So, I began to workout. My friend helped me by introducing me to CrossFit for the first time, and let me tell you, it was no joke. The people at the gym were athletes, they had the capability of performing a variety of exercises and lifting twice their body weight. It was intimidating, but I was not discouraged. I, then, began to be inspired by the women at my gym who defined beauty and strength in a whole different way than what the health and fitness magazines had shown. For this reason, I want to present women in a different light, those who don’t need juice diets and size two waistlines. I want to change how people perceive strong women, like the ones at my gym, and convince them that they are as equally beautiful. These next few weeks are dedicated to researching how I can achieve this message through my magazine.
I'll see you next time!
Fact #1: My name is Sofia Martiarena and I’m a stressful 17 year old.
Fact #2: I’m addicted to good music and good food.
Fact #3: I have a weakness for cheesy life quotes.
Today I will embark on an exciting journey towards creating my very own magazine. Ever since I was young, I remember sneaking into my older sister's stash of Seventeen magazines and flipping through each page, admiring the articles on What Lipstick Shade Are You. However, as I got older I started to admire the health and fitness magazines. One that grabbed my attention while waiting in the grocery line was the Women’s Health magazine.
