It’s crazy how my vision for my blog has changed so much compared to back when I started in 2012. When I first started my blog I had an entirely different name and only really focused on natural hair. Years later, I realized I wanted to showcase less of my own hair journey and more of others. I also wanted to share my love for thrift shopping. These two factors gave birth to what is now Thrifts & Tangles. I wanted this blog to inspire young women to embrace their natural hair and also encourage them to try shopping secondhand first. Now in 2019, I feel like it’s time for another rebrand (but no name change this time). For this rebrand, I want to add more elements involving my newfound interests. I still enjoy thrift shopping and natural hair but I feel like there is more that I could be sharing. I have a deeper message I want to get across, so hopefully this blog moodboard will help me stay true to that message.
Thrifts & Tangles will be a place where you can find:
Thrifted goods:
I will never get sick of bragging about how little I spend on an item. I still want to share the treasure that is thrifting and hopefully
Natural hair:
The tangles part of my name always gets tricky, because personally, I do not enjoy doing my hair. I wear a total of like three hairstyles and they all take me barely anytime to do. Hair is just not my thing. I do, however, love learning about how others care for their hair. So the Curl Files series will be coming back!
Sustainability:
Living a more sustainable lifestyle has become so important to me. I want to share more of my journey of becoming an ethical consumer and living a more conscious lifestyle. From now on, this platform will be used to promote brands that are socially and/or environmentally conscious, raise awareness of the harms of fast-fashion, and share
Modeling/LA living:
I’m hoping to tie this in nicely with the other categories. In 2018, I moved to LA and signed with an ethical modeling agency in Los Angeles called Role Models Management. This agency represents models who are activists, eco-conscious, vegan…basically models with a cause! Keep your eyes out for posts on behind the scenes footage, modeling tips, and cool places to visit in this wonderful city.
Will you be doing any personal or business rebranding this year?
I’m excited about where your blog is headed and I will definitely be following along! I feel like I’m sort or rebranding in a way – as I have finally figured out my niche and my voice, I think. And it’s for both my influencer side and business side which is interesting tbecause it’s the same audience and basically the same voice. It’s as if they’re going to be an extension of one another if that makes sense, so I’m hoping that ends up working for me. I’m looking forward to the future but nervous because I’m still learning as I go.
Hey girl! Thank you. I’m happy to hear your will be following along and I am so excited to hear that you figured out your niche and voice. Finding your voice online is probably the most difficult task! I’m excited to follow your journey as well. And I agree, your business and personal blog seem like they can easily extend to one another! Can’t wait to see what you create.
