Today we say goodbye to Cook.Vegan.Lover. and launch Running With Tongs! Interested in learning more about why the changes occurred please read here.
Changes you should be aware of:
As you read last week there are some big changes coming to CVL so over the next few days I am focusing all of my time on making sure the transition goes smoothly and we will be on track for a December 1st launch. In addition to the big changes at CVL don’t forget 12 Days of Giveaways starts on December 1st as well!
12 Days of Giveaways
The holidays are just around the corner and that means spending time with friends, family and eating way too much! This is my third annual 12 Days of Giveaways and this year I will be starting December 1st. A number of great companies that I love have generously decided to participate in spreading the holiday cheer and I will also be providing a few of the giveaway items myself. There will be a giveaway everyday for 12 day, so keep your eyes peeled for great giveaways you could win this holiday season.
Once a giveaway is posted you will have around 24 hours to enter. All winners will be chosen using the Random Integer Generator. Make sure to check back frequently for new giveaways!
Happy Holidays!
Dear CVL Readers,
Over the next few weeks Cook.Vegan.Lover. will be experiencing a number of changes, the first of which is a name change. This is something that I have been contemplating doing for the past year and I have finally decided it is time to make a change.
CVL started out as “Cooking For A Vegan Lover” and over time I made the small change to Cook.Vegan.Lover. because I was not longer just cooking for my vegan lover, but I became vegan myself (shortly after starting Cooking For A Vegan Lover). Over the years CVL has developed as a blog and has gone from being a vegan food blog to a vegan lifestyle blog to it’s current state as a Vegan Healthy Living Blog. As much as I have tried to use “lover” as a cover for all the things I love, I have come to terms with the fact the Cook.Vegan.Lover just isn’t a fitting name for my blog any longer. It is now time to move on.
Launching in the next 3 weeks will be my newest project, Running with Tongs. It is going to be a vegan healthy living blog, encompassing all of the things I hold most important. In essence you will still be reading the same things that I would have posted on CVL and all of the posts of CVL will be transitioned over to Running with Tongs, but you will also see more features on healthy living (i.e. running, physical activity, healthy living tips and information). So here is a break down what will stay the same and what new changes you will see :
As you can see there will not be any major content changes just more daily posts, healthy living posts and active lifestyle posts. There will be improvements to the aesthetics, layout and features on the blog which needed to be updated on CVL as it is. The major changes are the new look, URL, email, facebook and twitter. Thank you all for your committed readership and I look forward to you reading Running with Tongs.
P.S. While we are transitioning, cookveganlover.com will direct you to runningwithtongs.com but as soon as Running with Tongs is launched I encourage you to update your reader with the correct RSS feed
ALSO starting December 1st will be my annual 12 Days of Giveaways that will include a number of really great items including food, running, yoga and beauty products and more!
Thank you for support and I hope you enjoy the new blog!
Best,
Lindsay
Lately I feel like my blog focus has been none existent and I really want to get back to more dedication and consistency. That being said to keep me focused I have decided to set up a bit of a posting schedule to keep me inspired and writing. That is the other thing I want to improve me writing and to do that I need to be more focused and spend more time writing and well re-read before I post.
My plan (for now) is to have a 6 day plan:
M- Recipe of the Week
T- Nutrition Related Post
W- Readers Request Post
Th- Self-Care Post
F- Fitness Friday/Staying Active Update
S- Off
Su- Weekend Wrap Up
That being said i am also going to try and post more frequent daily/bi-daily posts and will still be including the occasional travel, restaurant post or other posts that I think are relevant. Most product reviews/giveaways will now be under the “Reviews” tab on the navigation bar. I also am making updates under the “Dining Out Vegan” tab so keep checking back.
For readers requests post you can send any requests to Lindsay@cookingforaveganlover.com
I have really been loving the feedback from readers regarding current posts and the new newsletter. That being said I’m asking you to take a few minutes to submit any topics that might interest you or questions that you have; questions can be personal, vegan related, health related, IIN related…basically anything you want to know. Thanks in advance for your feedback!
