Blog Makeover

Hi Everyone!

As you may have noticed, Bower of Blisse has undergone a bit of a facelift! I may continue to fiddle with some of the aspects (fonts, etc...), but I imagine there won't be any major changes from here on out. Well, until the next makeover :P I was never 100% happy with the old background and style; I had wanted something feminine and a little bit vintage, but what I ended up with was always a bit too busy for my taste. I think I just kept on gilding the lily hoping the next element would tie it all together, but as we all know, at that point you're fighting a losing battle. This new iteration of my blog may not be the most original or unique design, but I think it is easier to look at, and it definitely reflects my personal aesthetic a little bit better. I love poppies, and I love corals and orange-reds, so the color palette is easy for me to love.

Let me know if you have any suggestions, especially regarding readability; I would hate for the fonts or the colors I've chosen to be an eyesore; I was trying to find a nice balance between readability and originality. The only feedback I've gotten on it so far is from my minimalist boyfriend for whom "pretty" doesn't quite cut the mustard.

As always, thank you for reading; it means a lot!

  2. Hey lovely! I like the pink background, very cute! Personally, I think sans-serif fonts are easier to read and gentler on the eyes x

    2. (oops, there was a typo in my original response, that's why it's been deleted!) Haha, thank you! When I was going through fonts I specifically told my boyfriend it HAD to have serifs! Lol, I guess it's just personal preference. Sorry, don't be offended if I don't take your advice on this count... I still really appreciate the input!
