Hello readers of Teatime Thoughts! I'm Stesha from Classic & Bubbly, and I can't tell you how very excited I am to be guest posting today for Candice,  I am obsessed with her blog and style! Ever since I saw her fashion post wearing mint green pants I have been on the hunt.  Candice truly is a style icon!

My blog, Classic & Bubbly is a photography blog mixed in with lifestyle and fashion.  I am inspired by photos and have been since I was a little girl.  I have always wished I had a personal photographer that would follow my life around and capture my every moment.  Guess this was my inspiration to now do that for others! Don't get me wrong I still love pictures of myself,  as you can see from my blog.... best of both worlds? I think so!!

Ever think about why you blog each day? What is it real that gets you on your computer, spending time writing to your readers? For me, it is not really about the writing of expressing myself through words, its about showing my readers exactly who I am and why I am here posting each day.  I work at a your typical Monday - Friday 9-5  I needed more than that to make me happy so I started taking a picture a day, and eventually started a blog so post those pictures on. My dream is (and is becoming) a full time photographer.  I needed a creative outlet from my office job and something of passion to put my energy into.  So, my reason for posting everyday is the dream of making my blog, and the photos I publish on my blog into a career as a professional photographer.  I have been living by this quote:

Great quote, don't ya think? It has truly inspired me to keep on going even when the going gets tough. My dream was photography and just these last few months I set  up my own site and it is well on it way! Check it out: Stesha Jordan Photography!  So let me ask you, are your dreams big enough to scare you? I know answering that question is not an easy yes or no, but take a second and think about it and tell me what you come up with! I love being inspired by others so share, share, share!!

This is not my typical guest post, but it is what I have been feeling lately and I wanted to share that side of me with you today.  Come on over to Classic & Bubbly and take a look at the rest of my posts on photography, fashion (not nearly as great as miss Candice), and every day living!! Thanks Candice for having me today!!

Aligna sent some fun questions my way, and since I'm not one to pass up a good Q&A, I thought I'd answer a few of these! 

1. What makes you feel alive?

The feeling of waking up and knowing I have a purpose, and am loved by the creator of the universe. Also, being outside and enjoying the beauty of the world in which we live is so invigorating.

2. Who has been the biggest influence in your life?

I'd say that both of my parents have been really influential. Wouldn't trade them for the world.

3. If your life was a song or book what would it be called?

Capturing Creativity

4. What would be your last supper be if you had to choose?

Honestly, I haven't the slightest idea..something fresh, sweet and delish

5. Do you have a bucket list? If so whats the top two?

I do. They're not in any particular order of importance, but hot air ballooning and traveling the world are definitely on there!

6. Whats your favorite thing to do to relax?

I love to read, or be with friends and talk over coffee & tea.

7. Favorite destination to visit?

As of now I'd say that it's between Hawaii & Norway..although I've not been to France or Italy just yet..

8. Favorite season of the year?

Spring! 

9. If you won a million dollars whats the first thought or thing you would do with it?

I'd probably take a trip to visit the child I sponsor in Guatemala. 

10. If you knew it was your last day on earth how would you spend it?

I'd want to be in a beautiful place, surrounded with my friends and family just enjoying the time we had together.

Thanks for the questions!

Happy Weekend!
