New Name, New Beginnings

Can we please talk about where 2018 has gone because I'm not going to lie I have no idea where it has went. What I do know is that a lot has happened and there has been a lot of changes. 

As I'm sure you can tell I've had a bit of a rebrand and changed the look of my blog a little bit. Say hello to MelissaJaneMarshall.co.uk

 I won't lie I'm a little sad to let go of The Girl and The Treadmill but if I'm honest I think I had outgrown it a little bit.

I love talking about fitness and all things This Girl Can but I'm now 26 and so much in my life has changed in this past year. I don't want to throw away everything I did on The Girl and The Treadmill so I will definitely be keeping the fitness and health posts but I wanted to grow my blog into more of a lifestyle blog and talk about a wider variety of things and talk about things that make me happy.

So, what will you see on MelissaJaneMarshall.co.uk?

Firstly you will see more North East posts. If you follow me on Instagram (you can follow my new blog-specific one here) you will know I love travelling but travelling around the North East is something I love the most. I want to showcase how beautiful it is up here and why I don't think I'll ever leave the North East. I also want to talk about the great range of restaurants, activities and events that are in Newcastle and the North East. 

You'll also start to see more fashion and beauty posts. I recently stepped out of my comfort zone and shot some great outfits with the lovely Gemma (you definitely have to check out her blog) and I'm excited to show them to you and show that I'm not all about the leggings and sport bras.!

I'm also very excited to launch a little wedding section to my blog. I was a very lucky girl and on 8th December 2017 the lovely Mr M popped the question while we were in Poland on a winter holiday. We already have a date and have got quite a bit sorted so you'll be able to read all about that soon. 

I hope this all sounds exciting and I hope you're ready to go on this new journey with me as I'm really excited to get back into blogging and show you more of my life.
