New Blog Name!


Hello! Welcome to Freckled Elle, formerly known as Affordable Treats. I changed the name a couple days ago, after having Affordable Treats for 5 1/2 years. It'd become like my second name, but it had its limitations. I'm now earning more money, and while most of my purchases are still affordable, I want to be able to blog about more expensive things if I buy them, without feeling like I'm going against my word. The name also focused on products, and I want to be able to blog about other hobbies and lifestyle topics from time to time. It was sometimes confused with dog treats, too! 

Thinking of a new name was incredibly difficult. I actually decided on three before this, but they were all taken. Freckled Elle is super simple; I have freckles and my name begins with 'l/elle'. That's all there is to it!

Unfortunately, with this name change, my previous posts aren't showing up on Bloglovin, and I've lost most of my traffic. My images on Google all link to my old URL, which has now been removed, and I don't know how to redirect them, if I can at all. UPDATE: I've just fixed both of these problems, yay.

I'm going to try and make my blogging a little more organised and have set times and days for planned posts. I'm thinking Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Hopefully I can think of enough ideas to keep this going! If not, it'll be twice a week instead!

  2. i've just renamed my blog with a brand new URL and i'm having trouble getting it to redirect so if I find a way to sort mine i'll let you know! I know exactly how you feel with your blog name restricting you; I didn't want to feel restricted to blogging about just beauty so I decided to change it to a name that doesn't suggest anything other than I'm living in the North haha

  3. I just bought my own domain a few weeks ago, my redirecting took a little while to come through - when I click your old blog name it doesn't show up yet but I'm sure it will be fine!
