Kicking off the first week of January with the last recap from 2019. Today it is all about the 2019 top 10 blog posts – the posts that received the most attention and were read more than any others. As with the 2019 best sellers I’m a little surprised by some and definitely not surprised by others! Some of your favorite posts were also some of my favorites. Although there were a couple I would have liked to see on this list: How to Create a Beautiful Fall Charcuterie Spread, Rosé Inspired & Filled Spring Brunch, Ten Spring Date Ideas: Five From Him, Five From Her, and What’s In My NYFW Carry On Bag.
BUT have enjoyed seeing what y’all were most interested in. Reviewing the past year has really helped me plan content for 2020. I plan to focus more on the content you enjoy and want to see vs. those that seem to receive the least amount of views (styled posts)! If you have any additional feedback for content you would like to see here, please email me ([email protected]) or leave a comment below. I would LOVE to hear what you’re most interested in.
10. Winston-Salem Travel Diary & Guide
This was truly one of my favorite trips of 2019. So unexpected but oh my goodness did I fall in love with Winston-Salem. I am honestly dying to go back and take Joshua with me. I want him to experience the charm that Winston-Salem has to offer. If you’re local to the Piedmont region or even a couple hours away, I would recommend planning a 3-day weekend to Winston-Salem.

9. The Perfect Affordable Trench Coat | NYFW 2019
The only styled post to make it on the list! This recap has taught me styled posts are not y’all’s favorite. Therefore, I will be stepping back from them a bit and sharing other types of content y’all enjoy more. For those of you that do love styled posts, don’t fret I will still share here and there plus will highlight more looks + outfit ideas via instagram, instagram stories, and the liketoknow.it app this year.
I will say this was one of my favorite looks at NYFW last year. Chic, simple, and perfectly functional for walking around the city, attending meetings, and attending shows. I LOVE the navy tights, think they totally make the look. Oh and of course the main piece, the affordable trench coat! Such a great buy.
8. 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Fitting Room Session
Y’all love the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!!! And are definitely big fans of the fitting room try on sessions (was one of my most popular posts last yer as well). Duly noted. I will do this again this year when the sale rolls around!
7. WE BOUGHT A HOUSE
Definitely my favorite post of 2019 and favorite memory/milestone/accomplishment! Thrilled and thankful that y’all were excited about this as well. Cannot wait to share lots more around our home in 2020. We have LOTS of plans!!
6. 2019 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Top 10 Picks

5. Short Hair Curling Wand Tutorial
This was one of my most highly requested blog posts ever! So I am VERY happy to see it was so well received! Spilling all the secrets, details, and steps on how I create my everyday curls. They’re super easy to achieve- I promise!
4. FASTer Way to Fat Loss: My Experience
Another highly requested post. So again, thrilled to see it was a big hit. In this post I dive into my experience taking part in the FASTer Way to Fat Loss program. This was written after I completed my first round. So it includes all of my initial thoughts, results, and lessons learned.
3. FWTFL vs. BBG: How They Compare & Overall Thoughts
Before taking part in FWTFL I did BBG, a different program. In this post I chat about how they compare and my overall thoughts on the two. Really diving in to how they’re similar, different, and what I liked most + least about each one.
2. FWTFL Approved Snacks for Low Carb Days & Regular Macro Days
Figuring out the right snacks for FWTFL can be tricky. Especially on low carb days so in this post I’m giving you two low carb snack recipes and one regular macro day snack recipe. All three are extra yummy, super easy to make, and will help you reach your macros.
1. FWTFL Low Carb Day Meal Plan
The most viewed post of 2020! Not to mention the most viewed post of EVERY.SINGLE. MONTH. of 2020. Yep this one was a big hit! This post walks you through a couple of low carb days – meal ideas for each meal plus a few snack ideas. A great resource if you’re just starting FWTFL or need some inspiration to spice things up a bit.
All of these posts were SO good! It’s always so fun to see what content people actually like – I feel like it’s always what we’re not expecting. Cheers to 2020!
