Who else is ready to say buh-bye to 2020 and hello to 2021?? Honestly, while I am ready for a fresh start, this year has not been so bad for my family personally. Brent and I have both been lucky enough to not be too impacted by the pandemic. We have both worked and been paid the entire year. We are both introverts and homebodies anyway, so staying home a lot has actually been really good for both of our mental health, as well as for our relationship. Plus, all this time at home has been amazing for my blog. I really started taking Instagram seriously during spring break in March, and it has grown so much since then. My blog feels completely different now than it did at this time last year. I have gained so much confidence, which has also made me feel more comfortable being myself in general as well, not just on Instagram. While this year has been a good one for us, I am hopeful that 2021 will be a better year for the world as a whole.
Over the next couple of days, I will also be working on my goals and intentions for 2021. Not sure how much of that I want to share on here or on Instagram, but if you need an accountability partner or just want to talk over our goals for the new year, feel free to message me on Instagram or email me! I would love to connect and see what your hopes are for the next year. Going into 2020, I actually didn’t really have any goals or plans. I was just so exhausted by New Year’s because of our wedding, honeymoon, and the holidays being so close together. But now that we’ve had a year to recover from all of that, I do have some big goals and plans for 2021.
2020 was actually my first full year of blogging, and I have been able to link products through LIKEtoKNOW.it since June. So it has really only been 6 months of linking products, but I thought I would go ahead and do a 2020 roundup anyway! Below are some of the most popular items from the past 6 months on my blog (in no particular order). I decided to split this up into 2 different sets of products: one for Amazon and one for everything else.
Also, I should mention that this is only products that were shopped through LIKEtoKNOW.it, widgets on my blog, or affiliate links that I sent directly to people using rewardStyle. Basically, anything that shows in my rewardStyle analytics. So this doesn’t include any other affiliate links that you may have shopped through (like Pink Lily, Liquid I.V., Verb bars, or Rewined).
This post may contain affiliate links. Meaning, I get a commission if you purchase through my links, at no cost to you. Read the full disclosure here.

Most popular Amazon products:
I honestly don’t share a ton of items from Amazon, and especially fashion. I almost never buy clothing from Amazon anymore, and I would highly recommend shopping from small and/or local boutiques as much as possible rather than Amazon. Most of what I purchase from Amazon are random household products that I have heard great reviews about, or items that may be difficult to find in an affordable price range and get exactly what you are looking for (like my jewelry box or no-show socks). Anyway, here are the Amazon products you guys loved the most this year! Again, in no particular order.
