Sugar, Spice, and a Dash of Advice is now Sweet Shangrila!
There are a few reasons... I was ready for a change. I want to put more time and energy into blogging and I just felt the old name was difficult. It was long, annoying to type, and I hated the "advice" part. I don't presume to be worthy of giving anyone advice, and it kind of got on my nerves every time I saw it. I thought it was cute when it was just my family reading and I posted pictures of cupcakes every couple months, but not so much anymore.
"Sweet Shangrila" is shorter, simple, and also holds a special meaning.
Sweet = my love for sweets. Plain and simple.
Shangrila = a street I lived on in Texas when I was little. I have wonderful memories there and it reminds me of a time where things were simple, pure, and happy. Just like the word... "shangrila".
There are still some kinks to work out (umm...like a blog design and domain) but I'll be making those changes soon. Stay tuned!
So, what do you think?
It's also Day 13 of Blog Everyday in May. I've skipped a couple days, but this weekend was so busy!
Today's prompt is to "issue a public apology".
So, I'm sorry...
To Chris. I'm not the easiest person to live with and you're amazing to me when I least deserve it.
To my family. I wish I was better at being there for you all. I love you all so much.
To my body. I'm so terrible at being consistent with working out, but I feel so much better when I do. I'll try harder.
Love the new name!

Love it! Although..I just knew your name had something to do with Sangria the drink! ha Loving your new pic on the sidebar too. Super cute :)
ReplyDeleteI do love the new name... I'm glad you explained that you have a new name... I was reading the Sangria Swirl post... and was confused... because the blog name wasn't familiar but I know I'd seen your cute picture before! (I'm old... exhausted... and, apparently, easily baffled...)
