New Name / Blog Design + A Holiday Giveaway.

As you can probably tell, my little blog got a face lift! Not only a new design, but a new name as well. Just in time for the new year. I am so incredibly pleased and excited about this new change and I have Erin to thank for that! She did such an amazing job, was so flexible, kind, and fast! 

As you can see I now have categories on the top of my page. You can now read all about our wedding and planning ventures under one tab, along with lifestyle and beauty categories. 

Changing everything over to a new name is no joke, I almost had a few tears when I realized that I lost my bloglovin followers under my old name. Oh well, I am ready to start brand new with this beautiful blog.

Because I am so excited, I decided to throw a little holiday giveaway. Last month I received a blanket scarf courtesy of Marley Lilly, and I had to make sure to order a second for a giveaway because it was so cozy! This giveaway will run from today December 19th until next Friday the 26th!
