Hello, and welcome to the newly relaunched blog! I am so excited you’re here in this new digital space. My name is Alyssa and I’ve been a blogger since 2014. When I first started blogging I wrote about all different topics – from minimalism, to etiquette, to lifestyle, to history. There was a lot I wanted to share and I’ve always just used my name as the title of my blog because I don’t see myself narrowing down on topics too much in the future. Alyssa J Cori encompasses it all!
There were a few reasons that motivated me to relaunch my site. First, it was time to buy a new domain because my last name changed from Freitas to Cori.
Second, it was time to upgrade the backend of my site. From the very beginning I’d been using Blogger (a free service from Google) and I decided to start self hosting my blog and make the move to WordPress. It was a challenge (especially because I did the whole migration myself), but I’m not looking back!
And third, I hadn’t changed the look and feel of my site in forever. While I love a minimalist design, I wanted to incorporate color, a homepage, and improved navigation. It was a lot of fun to redesign this space and I am so happy with how it turned out!
Now, what about the content? What can you expect to see from me? I still plan to post once a week and am going to go even deeper into favorite topics: history, reading, career/personal development, and life.
The “life” section is going to be particularly interesting because there are a lot of changes on that front. My husband, Joe, and I have moved out of New York City, we bought a Tesla, and are living in Florida for the rest of the year! There will be fun posts to share about our adventures and the places we discover.
While this blog definitely serves as a digital diary for me, I also want to create useful and interesting content for you! What do you love reading about? What sort of tips are you seeking to make the most of your life and career? I’d love it if you would leave a comment or send me a note here so I can incorporate your suggestions.
Thank you again for following along and joining me in this next phase of the blog! For real time updates, you can follow my Instagram and to see what I am reading, you can follow me on Goodreads.
