I'm really excited that it's Friday - hubby and I have a fun weekend planned and I'm really looking forward to just hanging out and de-stressing a bit :)
Before the relaxing, I have a huge to-do list to tackle. Lots that needs to get done today. Aaaand, I'm only adding more to it because I have a TON of changes I want to make around here {{excitement!}}
So, i've been thinking about my blog a lot lately. I know the topics of discussion are rather random and not always necessarily "fitness" related.
I've been reading about blogging and such, and it seems that all the "pros" suggest that the secret to a successful blog is picking something you're passionate about. When you're passionate about what you blog about, the readers see that passion and blah blah blah.
So, I picked fitness. I love fitness. Working out, eating clean, finding great healthy recipes and such really makes me weak in the knees. OK, but here is the problem.... I have a lot of passions. Or maybe I'm ADHD. Either way, when I sit down with my beloved MacBook {ah ha, yet another passion! i <3 Apple} and start to blog away, thoughts just come out... whatever is on my mind at the moment.
OK, so we've got fitness and Apple products, what else am I passionate about? How long do we have here? Let's see... things that make me tick:
- design {pretty much in any capacity... graphic, web, interior, etc}
- fashion
- techy/geeky gadget stuff. i love gadgets.
- DIY vintage chic crafty home decorating stuff
- entertaining {wine and cheese party at my place next week, btw}
- animals. my furkids are my life.
- shopping
- artsy things
- photography
- scrapbooking {digital and paper}
- girly stuff
Basically, when I go back and review that list it all comes down to one point... I like pretty things. So, I'm going against all the "rules" of blogging and redefining my little space here. Yes, health and fitness will still be a main topic, because it's a huge part of my life. I just want this to be more... me, in a whole sense... not just 1/10th me because I only blog about 1/10th of the things that really make up who I am. As far as the "pro blogger" big wigs rules and guidline blahness, I suppose technically we could say that "pretty things" are my niche topic. And there - back to one topic! Ta-da!
So, expect to see a ton more fabulous content in the future as well as a redesign of the blog - i'm overdue for some fall decorating {{squeeeeel! yippee!}} Who knows, I might completely re-brand and change the name while I'm at it. We'll see.
Having said all that, I'm looking forward to digging in to designing the new blog look this weekend. We all know what I'll be doing - what are your plans this weekend?? Halloween parties??
