I did a poll a couple of years ago to see if people would prefer a censored title so that they could visit the blog at work, etc. A few people said yes, but most people said it didn't matter. But even I'm not really comfortable clicking on my own blog at work as it is, ha.<br /><br />I agree with you on the redesign too. It's hard to find something attractive and unique. I like my yelling lady, but it's not exactly a sleek, clean design.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02075243940219740263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-71193767255506137502015-06-05T12:46:20.158-07:002015-06-05T12:46:20.158-07:00That's a good point.

I've gotten used to this being your name but would gladly follow no matter what you named the blog. I was in the same place for the past few years and my name makes no sense anymore, but it's what people know me as and I don't care anymore that the "brand" is fuzzy. I also fear that a redesign would result in looking more cookie cutter, try as I might to be unique in the ocean of blogs. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!Liz (Beauty Reductionista)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12248806073054637457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-91424102592192232772015-06-03T20:57:19.947-07:002015-06-03T20:57:19.947-07:00Changing your blog name is hard.

I think it's pretty easy to change your handles on Twitter, Instagram and Bloglovin though? Maybe the "f" in cheapasf could stand for something else.

I like how Beauty In a Jar sounds, but by now we all know (thanks to Paula Begoun) that jar packaging is terrible for beauty products. I got to the point "should I change URL and social media accounts".... I'm getting tired just typing it, lol. So I say keep the name even if it doesn't reflect exactly what you are blogging about. Blogs (and bloggers) evolve, change and (hopefully) grow over time. It's expected. And changing the name of your blog every time you deviate from your theme seems pointless and exhausting. <br />Elena @ Beauty In A Jarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07808768054241085435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-81907197231449401822015-06-03T16:51:36.907-07:002015-06-03T16:51:36.907-07:00I like being cheap as fuck. :( I like being cheap as fuck. :( Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02549904797508920577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-23280236440714190322015-06-03T09:54:45.123-07:002015-06-03T09:54:45.123-07:00Thanks!

But maybe it's the yelling lady that's irritating me, since I'm not yelling as much myself.
