The Big Reveal: {Nosh & Nourish}

I am sooooo excited to share this news with you: I am rebranding/renaming my blog "Nosh and Nourish."  Before you freak out, let me explain.  :)  I have been blogging for over a year now and have grown, changed and evolved in both my writing and photography as well as my recipe creation.  I am quite happy with the current site as far as layout, content, and overall format...but something wasn't sitting well with me with the name any longer.  Sugar isn't my only focus. I am about healthy food and healthy living, in general. And I wanted my name to reflect that - more of the whole picture.  More of the whole me.

Nosh: 

A fancy/hip way to say eat or snack enthusiastically.

Nourish:

To provide with food or other substances necessary for life and growth.

I asked some of my readers (you!) on Facebook what you felt was the most important aspect of my blog, and the resounding answer was: healthy recipes with an honest, real approach.  I look forward to continuing that - just under a new name.

Here were a few of my favorite replies:

"I think of joy, sunshine, health and clean eating when I log on. There are 10s of thousands of blogs with recipes, motivation, etc... that we could read but with yours: I love the colors. I love the photos of the recipes. I love the brightness and light. It just gives me a lift and it motivates me to stay with the plan, come rain or shine." - Sheila

"First thought - original and honest .... You inspire me through positive outlook on a healthy lifestyle and yummy recipes that aren't full of processed crap!" - Tara

"I like your blog because it prompts me to think about my diet/sugar intake, and sets attainable goals and doable recipes without being "militantly strict sugar-free." - Erica

"I love your blog because...your light shines through in what you say. I love the creative and healthy recipies. I love your transparancy; sharing your successes & struggles are motivating." - Linda

"Honestly? Everything! I love it all!! (the photography, the healthy recipes, Babycakes, juicing, greek yogurt, motivation)" - Christina

A few things to note:

  • All the "old" No Sugar Sweet Life links will still work (this includes anything you have bookmarked or pinned on Pinterest).
  • You can still go to www.nosugarsweetlife.com, it will just redirect to the new site.
  • I am not planning on changing the types of recipes I post -- most will still be low (or no) sugar.
  • I am sooooooooo thankful for all of you!!!
  • I am in the process of updating my Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter profiles, and will keep you updated on any action required.

Babycakes and I look forward to spending more time with you in the blogosphere going forward!

I asked Babycakes what I should rename my blog, and she said: "Strompy McStrompy." LOL.
