Hey there loves,
If you read this morning's post, you know I had an announcement. Something special has been in the works for many months and I can say that a release date is FINALLY HERE.
First off, for those of you that have been here from the very beginning, THANK YOU! You know the changes this blog has endured, from themes to names to periods of lulls as I figured out what it is that I wanted from this platform, you've been with me through it all. And for those of you that have joined along the way, THANK YOU! Because of you I was able to grow this blog into something bigger than I ever expected it would be. And now all together we're on a ride of seeing just how big we can get this platform, and this week we're taking a major step in just that.
Because I'm feeling a little nostalgic, let me take you back to the beginning of Tangeld... (to jump to the news, instead of reading my whole life story, don't worry I'm not offended, I'm just as excited as you are, continue scrolling to the pink heading)
From the age of 16 I knew I was going to start a blog. I had names upon names. The first blog name I ever created was called West of the Skyline. I had it on a site like Blogger, wrote maybe 1 post, and found that it wasn't right. Then somewhere along the way came the name My Tangeld Life. A play on my name and something that felt so applicable for someone just starting off in their college journey navigating well... a tangled life. I started this blog as a free WordPress site using it to document my time abroad and show off my OOTDs on a broke college girl's budget. There were major lulls in my writing, hell let's be real, there still are! Nevertheless, I still wanted to go on. I had a fire inside me and it didn't feel it was right to let the blog go.
From there, I took My Tangeld Life into the real world I was now in, working in fashion. I bought the domain and went on to own my own site. Such a major accomplishment in my eyes because it took me LITERALLY 2 days to move the site. I had no idea what I was doing at the time or if it even was going to work. Well it did, and I was now ready! But then another shift happened... 4 months after I graduated college I started becoming super into wellness and fitness. Working in luxury fashion I realized the 2 actually go hand in hand. The more into wellness I became I realized I had to add a section of this into the blog. I was researching and reading on wellness honestly just as much as I was fashion. So instead of just a fashion & travel blog, now My Tangeld Life was fashion, lifestyle, and now... wellness.
Continuing on down the road... the more "adulting" or honestly "semi-adulting" I did, the more I realized it was time for another revamp: a title change. Instead of it being about my life (as noted in the original blog name) I wanted it to be about the journey of life (I also became big into yoga if you couldn't tell). And although life will always be tangled, you don't have to let it be your identity. SO low and behold Tangeld became the blog you know and love today *and yes, it still can be accessed by both tangeld.com or mytangeldlife.com.
I love it, I'm working hard at it, and I'm building it. This will never stop. But like the journey of life I wanted something MORE to come from it. I don't know about you, but I don't sit around reading blogs all day. I honestly would LOVE to, but there are so many other things to do in the day that I can barely even read through my magazines before I get the next month's copy at my door. But what do I actually read everyday? My inbox. And what did I love that showed up in my inbox? Newsletters. I love having something that I can read both on my commute or while sitting next to the pool with a margarita in hand. So with that, welcome to the next chapter...
