This Year's Top 10 Blog Posts

my top nine Instagram posts from the year --  you can figure out yours here!

Happy last Friday of 2017! Come Monday we will (obviously) be starting off a New Year and I could not be more excited and ready for a fresh start. I have a lot on my plate this weekend in terms of planning content and setting goals, but I am so excited to get back to a routine. I am especially ready to put all of those Christmas cookies behind me so I can get my butt back into shape!! In the meantime, here are the top 10 most popular blog posts from this year...

#10: Fall Wardrobe Essentials
It doesn't surprise me that this blog post made the list! I remember how long it took to put this together so it makes me very glad to see you guys enjoyed this! In case you missed it, I rounded up all of the wardrobe essentials and basics a girl could need for the fall season.

#9: Big Gift Reveal / My Christmas List
Seeing other people's Christmas lists and what people got for Christmas is super entertaining. I didn't end up getting a plane ticket to New Zealand (lol, more on that at another time) but I still had a very Merry Christmas. I am celebrating Christmas with my mom tonight actually so I plan to do a "What I Got for Christmas" post (or video!!) in the next week or so.

#8: Holiday Prep + Stocking Stuffers
Throughout the year I tried to do a few different things to make my "This Week's Top 10" series on Fridays more interesting, so it makes me happy to see that at least one of the posts made this list. In this particular post I shared a few notes on how I was getting ready for Christmas, our family's Secret Santa plan, and some stocking stuffer ideas.

#6: What I Eat at College + Grocery List
It goes without saying that people love fitness and food content. Even for a non-fitness/health blogger, I think it's interesting just to read about what people do for their exercise routine, what they're eating, or the goals they're setting. Reading a little fitness content by someone else, for me at least, can really be a big motivator to work out or eat healthier. I hope the grocery list was a convenience for other college girls!

#5: Loving Lately / Life Update
This is kind of a random one, but I do so many little weekend recaps on here that it's nice to see one of them make the list. This particular recap covered my Thanksgiving break, when I traveled to St. Louis to celebrate with my mom's side of the family.

#4: Winter Sorority Recruitment Outfit Guide
I am so glad you guys liked this post!! This was really fun to put together and I love that you found it helpful. If you're going through Winter Sorority Recruitment in a few weeks I definitely suggest taking a peek at this post; you might find it helpful or get some inspiration!

#3: Holiday Gift Guide Kick-Off
Aw. This was fun. I think doing three gift guides in one blog post was a little excessive, so I probably won't be doing that again. However, I loved that I fit in lots of gift guides. Doing them (almost) weekly from Thanksgiving to Christmas might have been a little too spaced out, but I'll take this as a learning opportunity to come up with a new method for next year!

#1: Why I'm no Longer in a Sorority
Well... I'm not surprised that these two made the top of the list. I feel lucky that I received such a positive response from all of you on these difficult situations. Usually lifestyle content is pretty well-loved around here, and these posts were both a big weight off my chest. I truly appreciate that they were so loved. Thank you!

Thank you all for another incredible year of blogging, I wouldn't be where I am without each and every one of you!! If there is anything you'd like to see in 2018, I am all ears!!

Have the best weekend!
xoxo
