About Roofresh

My name is Kelsey, not Roofresh, but Roo IS my nickname. I live in the Phoenix area with my husband and we are having fun being newlyweds and going on crazy adventures together. We like finding new hangouts, food, art, music and friends; so that's pretty much what my blog is about. You'll find a bit of fashion, design, nutrition and family sprinkled throughout my content, or anything else that catches my eye at the moment. My blog has changed a lot over the last year, but you'll see that it's really just a record of our lives together; our public journal.

Guest Post on {Hello Vanny}

My friend Vanessa who recently did my blog makeover, asked if I would do a guest post on her blog. I was super excited and couldn't wait to get started on my post (so I literally did it right when she asked me)! I decided to show you all how to make a pinwheel banner, and I think it turned out pretty darn cute if I do say so myself. So head on over and check it out at Hellovanny.com.

Sprucing Things Up Around Here

You might notice that my blog looks a little different today...well last night I stayed up really late learning the ins and outs of HTML and CSS and did a little blog make-over for myself. Pretty darn good for my first time if you ask me! Okay, okay I'm totally making that up. My very talented and lovely friend Vanessa of HelloVanny might have played a little part in sprucing up my digs. Okay, she played a BIG part, as in I told her what I liked and she designed this whole thing for me!

Vanessa is a talented blogger, baker and more recently blog designer. She and her boyfriend Aaron tag-teamed this project (Vanessa doing the design and Aaron coding the whole thing) and I could not be more happy with the results. Vanny (as I affectionately refer to her as) has recently made a bold move and decided to switch careers to do web design. Well she's not off to a bad start if you ask me!

In honor of my almost-year blogging anniversary, I thought I would do a little survey for Roofresh. I want your help in deciding what posts will be reoccurring posts on the blog. Basically, what do you like? It is completely anonymous, so please be nice. ;)

I will close the survey after one week so that I can add some fun new features to my blog, pointing you in the direction of the reoccurring posts. I realized that I had quite a few different post-series taking place and it had become very cumbersome to try and keep up with them all on a weekly basis. My hope with this survey is to narrow in on what people really want to read about and spend more quality time on those posts.

I'm so excited for the direction my blog is heading and so appreciative of everyone who has read it over the past year! I love the new design and I think it's a perfect reflection of my (and Jim's) personality. Thank you so much Vanessa and Aaron!

Catching Up and Business Cards

Hey all! I know I have been a somewhat silent this week, Jim and I have had a LOT going on. In addition to our personal lives being somewhat crazy, I got a nasty 24-hour bug on Friday night, and I've been working hard on organizing some fun stuff for the up-coming blogger meetup (which I'm SUPER stoked about)! Amidst all of this, my lovely friend Vanessa has whipped up some lovely business cards which are super cute, so I wanted to share them with you all...
What do you think? Super cute huh?!? I can't wait to give them out! Well I promise that I will be a little better about blogging in the next few weeks, and you can bet that I will have tons of fun pictures to show you from the meetup!

Keep it real,

Roo

Hello Vanny!


You may have noticed that my blog page has been looking very different as of late. Well I can attribute a lot of it to my blogger friend Vanessa. She is the creator of the blog "Hello Vanny" and is a  multi-talented blogger, photographer, artist, student, barista who is breaking into web design as well. She was a doll and lent me a hand with my new banner and cute little button you see there on the right. If you are interested in sprucing up your space on the inter-webs, hit her up, I know she would love to work with you.

Keep it real,

Roo
