Welcome to Blonde Freedom!

Hi! Welcome to my new blog here called Blonde Freedom!

You may know me from my former blog called The Blonde In Black.

Why did I change my blog name you ask?

When I made the decision to go self-hosted and purchase my domain name, the name The Blonde in Black was already taken. Ahh it was a sad moment. Instead of editing the name The Blonde in Black to fit a domain that was available, I felt a longing to create a new and fresh blog.

When coming up with a new name I knew I wanted to keep “blonde” somewhere in the name. This blonder hair aint’ goin nowhere that’s for sure.

As I’ve grown and lived life this past year the word “free” has become deeply important to me.

Since I didn’t want to sound like I was a blonde offering “free services” if you know what I mean, I decided on the word Freedom.

So the name Blonde Freedom was born.

When I first started blogging, I did so to blog about health and fitness in college. It also served as an online journal for what was going on in my life. I’ve now come to realize that I desire to write about other things other than just health and fitness, so I didn’t want a name that limited  me in a certain sphere.

What will I be writing about? I’m just going to go with the flow.

For the most part I’ll write about college life. Life as a 20 something year old. Student teaching. Random thoughts I have. Christian related posts. Crossfit and running. Finding balance with chocolate cake and eating healthy. My love for photography. You get the idea.

I want this space to be a place where I can grow and learn and share that with all of you. I want a blog that can go in whatever direction it’s being called to.

You may also be surprised by the splash of colors. Yeah so am I.  I’m starting to get a little sophisticated and more mature which for me that means brightening things up. It’s scary and a bit uncomfortable (trust me), but I like it. By the way I got my blog designed by Little Web Writing Hood. She did an amazing job and was so incredibly patient with me and my requests. Check out her Etsy shop!

Anyways, be sure to follow all of my now social media accounts on the side! Now I’ll be get back to blogging regularly!

And if you want to learn more about me read some of my former posts at The Blonde In Black. I’ll soon be transferring all of those posts over here just so they’re still around.
