Hello Pretty People,
I am so excited to bring you the new and improved Pretty, Young & Motivated, formally Somewhere Between Vogue & Van Gogh. October marks one year since I started this blog, and I thought it was time for a big change. In the past year, I have made a lot of changes in my life and I am in a happier place today. Moreover, I thought revamping my blog was a necessity to better match my tone in life.
In the last year I have made a lot of big, life changing decisions and that has lead me to where I am now. From leaving cheerleading behind to studying abroad, my attitude for life has taken a 180. I have found my place in the blogging world, thanks to my amazing girl friends, and I have learned to love life a little more. I also have been working on self-love and creating my own happiness, and that is part of what has made me find my writing voice else where. I love fashion and I still plan to share my style with all of you from time to time, but I have re-concentrated my content on something a little more fitting to who I want to be and what I want my blog to be known for, which is Pretty, Young & Motivated!
I want Pretty, Young and Motivated to be a place where women can find inspiration, confidence and motivation. I want to encourage women to empower one another and work on lifting each other up, and I hope my new content will constantly provide this message. Another important factor to PYM is self-love; loving yourself is crucial to your health and learning to be confident in yourself will take you so far in your goals. When you become confident, you are able to spread this to other women who may need it. I would also like to add a professional aspect to my content, I want to share my best tips and advice on topics like interview skills, building your resume and networking like a pro. I also plan to bring back the #Girlboss series. All these things have become important to me in the past year and that is what made me change the tone. I want my blog to portray these values through every post.
Let’s dig a little deeper: I have chosen the name Pretty, Young & Motivated for a few reasons and I’ll explain each with you.
Pretty: I want PYM to make all my readers feel beautiful and pretty, I want you to know your worth and learn to love yourself everyday. Pretty represents the self-love and confidence side of PYM.
Young: I want all my readers to remember to be young at heart, we always tend to rush life but do not forget to enjoy what’s right in front of you. Be curious and interested like a child, never stop exploring the world. Young represents my target market of young millennials who are looking for their place in the world.
Motivated: I want my blog to be the place you find your favorite Monday Motivation. I want my readers to be motivated when pursuing their goals; from being motivated in your career to just being motivated to crush a simple goal, I want this message to be clear throughout all my new content. Motivated represents the hard-working and goal-oriented side of PYM.
Together, Pretty, Young & Motivated should portray a very #girlboss vibe. The goal of PYM is to inspire women to be fearlessly authentic and love themselves. I am looking forward to what I am able to do with this new platform. I hope my new content and message will meet the expectations of my readers. Readers should be able to pull something positive from each and every one of my posts, and if not, I am not reaching the goals of my blog. I’ve been so excited to launch this brand new site and I am so happy the day has come. You can expect two posts a week from here on out.
Thank you all for following me in this change and I hope Pretty, Young & Motivated will impress. You can expect some new things, but no worries, some old posts have been carried over.
