I may have jinxed myself with this post title, but I really do think this will be my final blog rebrand. I think my biggest problems with my previous two blog names was that they related to where I was in my life, and not me. So, as my life changed, the blog title just didn't seem to fit! I still love me some sunshine, but it's weird to be writing in The Sunshine Diary when I'm in cold dreary PA. Yes, we plan to get back to Florida ASAP, but with the nature of the medical profession we could be anywhere. I want a title that can grow with us and our life, wherever that is!
While my life, interests, and personality are all constantly evolving, one thing has become very apparent: I love color. I mean, just look at this blog design! I think I'm the first person to tell Erin when she was doing my design that I want my blog to "feel like a tropical vacation minus the 80 degrees and yummy pool boy." It's amazing she still loves me. ;)
Anywho! I crave color. I love Florida because bright colors are everywhere. I wear my bright Lilly scarf all year round because I think color makes people smile, especially in the dead of winter. Friends text me obnoxiously bright things and say they remind them of me. I just love it!
Along with my literal love of color, I am realizing that life doesn't always work out how I want (aka our living situation) and I want 2014 to be a year of happiness. I want to be able to live colorfully no matter where I am, and find happiness and color in every day (and plan to document it with a 365 instagram challenge, but more on that later). I think this new blog title will be a great motivation to "rebrand" my life as well. I don't know if anyone has successfully lived colorfully in Hunker before, but I'm determined to be the first! :)
I hope you all love the new name as much as I do, and stay with me while I try to move my blog to the new domain www.livingcolorfullyblog.com over the weekend!
Cute! I've been thinking about changing my blog name for awhile now... I just have no idea what it would be! And I'm afraid to lose everyone... eek! Let me know how it goes :)
ReplyDeleteLove the new name and think it fits you perfectly! I want to rebrand my blog as well, but I have absolutely no good names!
ReplyDeleteAWWW! LOVE the new blog name!! Good luck in 2014:)
ReplyDeleteLove the new name! So very Lilly of you :)
ReplyDeleteLove the new name! I want 2014 to be a year of happiness too!
ReplyDeleteI like it! I agree that it will transition with you over the years.
ReplyDeleteI love the new rebrand and as far as I can tell it fits you perfectly!
ReplyDeleteI love the rebrand, I love that you try to live as colorfully as possibly even in little ole' Hunker, PA. I've been thinking about doing a change on my blog, but no creative juices as of now. Did you work with anyone for the blog redesign??
ReplyDeleteI love it sweet friend. I feel like our blogs are ever changing but this will really help guide you to find true happiness where you are right now in your life. I love the meaning behind it and know that great things are in store for you! YAY!
ReplyDeleteGlad you added a picture I wasn't sure who's blog it was. Cute name! I am sure your getting some snow today like I am in NJ! Enjoy! Burn your Scentsy and stay warm!!!

oh fun!!! I love it
ReplyDeleteI love the new name!
ReplyDeleteI was so confused when I was trying to catch up in my Bloglovin' "Friends" category and came across Living Colorfully! I thought to myself, I don't recall who's blog this is but I must know them if I put them in the friends category! haha! I love the new name and design! So perfect!
ReplyDeleteRobin! I love the rebrand! Such a smart idea. I love blogging but I've been having a hard time deciding how to put everything I want to in one place. It's like its own type of branding. You're doing great though!
ReplyDeleteBoth looks cute together, love his shirt.
