Running Blonde is now A Side of Sweet!

Notice something different? I’m so excited to finally announce what I’ve been planning around here! A name change for Running Blonde is something that has been nagging at me for a long time. This lil’ ol’ blog has gone through many changes since its inception as Kelly Travels the World seven years ago (!). At first, it was a place where I shared travel stories from my adventures. As I got more and more immersed into the world of running and cycling, Kelly’s Travels changed into Running Blonde. Medical school started, and the 20+ hour weeks of training were a thing of the past. I also re-discovered my love of baking and creating as an outlet from the endless days in the library cramming for medical school exams. It’s been many moons since a race report surfaced around here.

Choosing a new name was more difficult than I expected. I puzzled for months over the right choice. I pestered Pat, made lists, asked friends, and pestered Pat some more. Finally, in one of those just before falling asleep moments, A Side of Sweet was just right.

I hope you enjoy the new design, thanks to my dear friend Kia of the blog With Lovely,. And thanks so much to you for following along on this new adventure!

xo,

Kelly

Here is what you can expect for the new A Side of Sweet:

~More diverse content: I have so many things that I’m passionate about – DIY, design, travel, beauty, fashion, fitness…the list goes on. I want to share more about all of these things.
~Prettier posts: I love playing around in Photoshop and one of my New Year’s resolutions is to incorporate  more design into my posts.
~Blogging about blogging: I’ve been at this for seven years! I want to share what I’ve learned along the way.
~More giveaways: I love doing giveaways to introduce you to brands that I love, and as a way to give back to all of you!
~More Social Media: I love connecting with all of you on Instagram and Twitter. I’m going to make more of an effort to share on both of these sites.

Anything you’d like to see on the new A Side of Sweet? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this big change!

    Congratualtions on your next step. 7 years is a long time in the blogging world, so that’s awesome you kept it going at it. I like the new name too 🙂

      Thanks so much! I agree, social media is overwhelming. I don’t think we’re alone in feeling that way though – just think, people have entire careers doing just that! It’s a lot!

    I didn’t think I’d find myself saying something like this 3 1/2 years ago when we first met, but I’m so proud of you and your new blog! You’ve put a ton of time into it (probably too much), and I know it’s something that gives you a lot of joy in the very little free time that you have, which makes me happy. It really looks great and I look forward to handing out your biz cards to everyone any time I get the chance. Your blog is such a great medium to chronicle our life (alongside a few other things) and to share with friends and family. Love yous.
