Hey y’all!! Wow, it’s been a month since I’ve blogged on here. The past month of March has been a whirlwind of work and traveling and celebrating my ~Birthday Month~, and now your girl is now 24 years old! To be honest, I felt like I needed a break from blogging and trying to post something new every Tuesday. I was getting restless with my blog, with my personal life in Spain, with my job, and thinking about what I wanted to do in the future when my visa expires in May. It’s already April, so I’ve got two more months to decide what I’m doing, where I’m going, and to find a “real job” according to everyone else.

I’ve been working behind the scenes, a lot, on the direction of this blog and a lot of side projects with the boyfriend. Speaking of behind the scenes, you may have noticed a fresh new look! I finally invested in a brand new layout that I am absolutely in love with. Although I did like my old layout, I felt like I needed something cleaner, more organized, and something fresh. This layout is EXACTLY what I was looking for, for the direction of my blog! You may have also noticed a new look for “The Quirky Pineapple”, other than the layout. I’ve got a new logo!! My very talented friend, Nikita Iszard, took all of my crazy and incohesive ideas for my logo and brand, and completely nailed it! The new logo for The Quirky Pineapple represents my quirky personality, the messiness that I love, but also organization, color, and uniqueness. I am absolutely enamoured with the logo and the pineapple is amazing! Niki did a wonderful job using her own watercolor paintings and her personalized font! 
If you’re interested in looking for a new logo, I absolutely recommend her! She took all of my crazy and general ideas and really honed in on the feel of my blog and my personality to create something that completely represents this brand!

Here’s a quick recap of March for y’all:

• I held my first Instagram giveaway and sent out two, personalized packages to the winners! (If you’re interested in seeing the submissions, check out the hashtag: #TQPineapple or #TheQuirkyPineapple on Instagram)
