Y’all, I have a confession to make. I’ve been blogging for over twelve years (did you know that?) and not once have I ever looked back to see what was the most popular and most visited blog posts on my blog! That might seem silly or inconsequential to you, but as a content creator knowing what is performing content wise helps you plan out what else to do, and I do feel a bit behind the curve, especially for a seasoned blogger.
So, that embarrassing little tid bit being said and out of the way, I’m now excited to unveil my most popular blog posts, my most purchased items, and some of my favorites as well! Let’s get on with the show shall we!

I think we all know that the Enneagram is having a moment right now, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this was my most popular post!

So if you’ve been wondering this make sure to check out this post!
2019 Most Purchased Items
This was really fun to research because as I went through the list it turns out that you guys love the same things I do, which isn’t a surprise but is SO affirming for me! If I’m going to take on the title of “influencer”, I only want to be sharing things that I really and truly love (no fluff or fake stuff here!) and the things that I wear on repeat and talk about the most are the things you guys purchased the most! WIN WIN WIN!! Without further ado, here are the goods (in no particular order!)
Let me know if you’ve purchased any of these and what you think! Feedback is always so helpful for me!
