I started this blog, A Touch of Teal, in 2014, when I was less than a year out from undergrad, a mere 23 years old, and the media landscape was a different place. Back then, everyone had a blog — and sharing this one with you quickly became my favorite corner of the internet. It’s where I told stories, shared what I loved, and documented the seasons of my life as they changed.
After much consideration, and to make room for a new chapter of creative endeavors, I’ve decided it’s time for me to step away and make space for what’s next. This blog has given me more than I ever could have imagined — not just a creative outlet, but a community. It’s connected me with readers and fellow bloggers who became friends, opened doors to opportunities I never dreamed of when I started this journey, and taught me so much about persistence, creativity, and sharing my voice. I’m endlessly grateful for every comment, collaboration, and kind word along the way — and for everyone who took the time to read, follow, or cheer me on from afar.
You’ll notice most of the content on this blog is now archived, but, for now, I’ve left up a handful of the most-loved posts — from books and travel guides to home decor.
While this chapter is ending, I’ll still be creating elsewhere. You can still find me on Instagram and TikTok, and I hope you’ll follow along — the best parts of this space have always been the people who’ve been part of it.
With Love,
Katie
