Makeover Monday

Hey, there! Sorority Life to Army Wife is now Extra Black Olives! After 6 years, I decided to rebrand with a shiny new design (thanks, Fran!) and restart my blog after my semi-hiatus during grad school and the past year. 

Why the new name? A few reasons. One is that Sorority Life to Army Wife is really long. It is catchy, but it’s a lot to type and spell correctly on a regular basis. Another reason is that Sorority Life to Army Wife doesn’t feel like me anymore. I didn’t blog a lot during grad school, and I felt like my blog name was very me anymore. (I am still a sorority woman and an Army Wife). Extra Black Olives is very “me” because I always order extra black olives on anything and everything (pizza, subs, tacos, you get the idea). I also love purple, and I wanted my blog design to be more me than a coordinating palette for my name (I’m going to overuse parentheses in this post. I really did love the Americana theme and colors of my latest Sorority Life to Army Wife design, but it was time for something new.). 

A big shout-out to Fran with 259 West Designs for the facelift and domain migration. I could not have done this without her because I have truly no idea how to move a website from one domain to another. If you are in the market for a fresh blog look, I highly recommend her. I’m still in the process of updating links and some other stuff, so you may still see stuff from the old website for a few days.

Hope y’all enjoy the new blog!
