Welcome!

Hello there, readers! My name is Ciara and this is Fitness and Things! I had another blog called The Daily Doozy that I loved very much, but for many reasons, I wasn't loving it anymore. I realized I have a real passion for fitness and healthy living that I wanted to share, as well as a passion for introducing others to new products and things I discover along the way. I've been doing a lot of work to make this blog even better and use the powers of social media to spread my posts to all the girls out there!

With all of this change, it is taking time to set up this blog, so I hope you'll bear with me. I want this blog to be awesome, so some links in the navigation bar aren't currently working and I still have some design work to do. But I hope that it will be finished soon and I can dive in to my blogging! For now, I uploaded all the posts from my old blog and I will be posting some new content later this week!

If you have any requests for topics or any questions at all, leave a comment below! Thank you for being patient and welcome to Fitness and Things!

Hello? Is Anyone There?

It's been a looong time since I've blogged, if you haven't noticed already. It was a long time coming, my abrupt departure from the blogging world. I was so happy and motivated when I started The Daily Doozy 6 months ago, but that went away a few months in when life got in the way. I felt stress and pressure from my normal duties as a full time student, athlete, friend, daughter, and employee. I wanted to post every week day on my blog, but finding time for just two posts was a struggle. I hated that I was missing posts, which led to me not posting more and leading my blog to a downward spiral. I lost interest in certain subjects that I was posting about and eventually, I just gave up.

I got an email recently from Her Campus saying that if I didn't post by this week, I couldn't be a part of the Her Campus Blogger Network anymore. This realization hit me and I knew I wanted to try blogging again, but in a way that made me excited to blog again. I've worked out a new schedule that will allow me to live my life and create awesome posts for everyone. 

I am going to change the name of my blog to Fitness and Things and create a whole new, social media-integrated layout. I'm very excited for this new venture and I hope you are, too. I'm going to post twice a week; once about fitness and healthy living and once about things I like that are related to a theme. I'm ready for this new challenge and I can't wait to unveil it next week. I'll leave a link on this page to the new blog when it is live!

I hope you enjoyed The Daily Doozy and continue your readership at Fitness and Things!
