Hey guys!!
Drum roll, please….
I’ve been working with an amazing team to recreate my blog and today’s the day to reveal it!
Yep…The ‘That Goan Girl’ revamp is fiiiinalllyyy here!!
I’d been meaning to launch the new and improved blog in February (as many of my old readers know) but it wasn’t as easy as I thought. In fact, it wasn’t easy at all!
Oh well, good things take time!
First things first, I totally missed blogging during the last couple of weeks. Going without TGG was weird and I felt totally isolated from everyone (AKA you guys!) There were still posts uploaded on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, but it’s not the same as writing a nice, long letter.. you know what I mean?
A New Facelift!
So, during my first job in marketing, I had to deal with people who were getting their websites developed or redesigned and it drove me crazy that they couldn’t settle on what they wanted. Going back and forth – changing the most minuscule things for months on end really tested my patience.
But after these couple of months of website work… I totally understand!
I’ve put my heart, soul and OCD-ness into this makeover and it’s more than just aesthetic changes. I’ve tried to make it as user friendly and organized as possible.
What started out as a documentation of my travel to Malaysia and Canada now incorporates a lot more food, lifestyle and personal ramblings, a teeny bit of fashion, and sneak peeks of events.
That Goan Girl has totally evolved since I started blogging a year ago
And so have I…
So for me it’s become more about a healthy balance. (which is funny because the amount of time I’ve spent on this blog is absurd and is definitely not the best example of balance!)
Before I go, I have a few shout-outs to the guys behind the scenes!
Thank you Sandeep, you’re a total rock star for helping me bring the design I had in my head to reality! I know I annoyed you and you totally wanted to punch me in the face (whoops)! I couldn’t have asked for a better digital guru!
Thanks Greig – for designing my Twitter banner and Shiva for the kick-ass logo even though I changed my mind a gazillion times.
And thank you, readers! For always coming back, commenting on the blog and on social media (I read each one and try to reply to them all). It’s been amazing connecting with you, receiving your emails every day and getting to know you! Without that, I wouldn’t have been enjoying this amazing ride quite as much
I hope you enjoy the new face-lift! PUHLEEZ let me know what you think.
Oh.. and stay tuned because there are some awesome-sauce giveaways this week to spread the joy!
Bye! xoxo
