This change has been in the works for awhile now, but as I mentioned in my post the other day I have been quite busy so I wasn't able to officially launch the new website until today. While I had already chosen the name High Heels & Hard Work, I wanted to get the website up and running in a more refined and professional space with a logo I created myself. What do you think? Cute, right!
For those who just started reading my blog or popped back through my posts I feel I owe an explanation for my blog name and the whole direction I am going. So what's the story behind High Heels & Hard Work? Well, it all started earlier this spring when I began writing a blog on Wordpress. Desperate to start the blog, I just threw together a name that I didn't end up liking very much. I felt that it didn't accurately express who I wanted to be my readers or the topics I wanted to touch on. Any guesses on what it was? No? Okay, I'll tell you it was Her Life, Her Business. Not the best choice on a name. It was mid-semester when I really began to research blog naming techniques. After reading through numerous articles and talking with other bloggers such as exPRession PR I dove head first into a brainstorm session. I found some cool words that kind of expressed what I wanted to do with the blog, but none that I fell in love with right away. One word I loved that explained my whole college experience as well as my work experience was Caffeinated. I also wanted to play around with the idea that I am a woman in business so I liked the idea of mentioning High Heels. My brainstorm session ended up coming down to two ideas which were Caffeinated & Confident or High Heels & Hard Work. Since I couldn't make up my mind I decided to mess around with Adobe Illustrator to create logos for both ideas and throw them up on social media to get some input. As you can probably guess High Heels & Hard Work won out by a landslide. This ended up being perfect for my women in business direction and I couldn't wait to get started! Unfortunately I got too busy to make the launch after my new name was created, but now here we are on launch day! So without further adieu, I give you High Heels & Hard Work, a career and lifestyle blog. Hope you enjoy it!
