I did it! I finally Rebranded my blog!!

I felt like the day would never come. I hated my old domain (Delirium Style, yuck). It was an impulsive decision. I mean, I didn’t even Google it before I picked it. What the damn hell, kat? I chose it because my favorite beer was (and still is, tbh) Delirium Tremens and because I wanted people to know I’d throw in some fashion in there.

It wasn’t until about three months later that someone (a few people actually) linked my blog to delirium-style.blogspot.com, and everything went downhill from there. I was mortified. Why, Kat, WHY would you come up with such a stupid name? And why would anyone think I’d post about that!?

I hated everything about it, but mostly, I hated SecondLife.

ALSO, no one can pronounce or spell Delirium Style. “D-e-l-whaaa? Umm, could you start over”? [insert melodramatic eye-roll here.]

I had absolutely no objective, no goal, no expectations of what I wanted my blog to be. I was all over the place, a bit Katy Perry, as some might call it. I genuinely thought I was writing the best posts on the internet (I wasn’t. Going through 200+ cringy-poorly-written blog posts confirms it). And so the number one thing I wanted was to establish my mission statement, vision, and values before I launched.

I tried to come up with a name for nearly a year, maybe more. I almost went with my name, Kat Maurtua, but then I remembered, no one can pronounce (or spell) my last name either.

I wanted something fun, quirky, and a bit representative of me.

Nik always found it cute that whenever I speak Spanish to family, friends, or whomever, I always end the conversation with, “Yeah Ok Ciao.”

He jokingly suggested I change it to that. I thought he was messing around, so I said no.

But the more I thought about it, the more we thought I should do it. It just stuck. It’s fun, a bit quirky, and the words are pretty much second nature to me. And so I GOOGLED THE NAME, bought the domain, and created an account on IG so no one would take the name before I switched over.

End of story.
