Quick Updates & Blog Makeover!

Hi everyone!


Hope you're all good! I can't believe I'm at 42 followers, it's amazing thank you! I've had a super busy week as you can tell with my lack of posts but I'm going to try and pre-write a few tonight so I'll have a few to publish during the week. 

One of the reasons I haven't been posting this week is that I've been working really hard on this new layout. I have honestly chopped and changed about 5 times but I am now really happy with what I have. I am so happy with how it has turned out, I think its more 'me' now!

I've also added my own twitter and bloglovin' buttons in the sidebar, and let me tell you- writing the HTML for those was not a walk in the park!

I only have two more tweaks before I'm finished and that's adding a 'Hair' page and a 'Disclamer' which shouldn't be too much trouble. I've also changed the header (quite an obvious change), the background, the sidebar background (not sure if I'm 100% happy with this yet), I've added a little divider between posts and I've changed my signature.

So I thought I'd mark this little occasion with a post to share the before and after pictures, so here they are:

Before:
 screenshot of Julz Obsessions blog with pale blue/grey background, main menu as pink tabs and header as white writing with pink stroke against three repeated images of pink nail polish, lipstick and jewels
After:
Screenshot of Julz Obsessions blog design with white background and header with pink background, pink and cream floral layer, pastel bunting and Julz Obsessions written in brown

So now that I've got the perfect layout, I'm back to posting yay! Can't wait to get into it as I've got so much to show you all, starting with my Soap & Glory haul yesterday. 

That's all from me for now!
