Yesterday I talked about my 16 must have beauty products of 2016 and today I thought I would recap my 16 favorite blog posts. These are not necessarily the most popular but they are my favorite and that means something to me!
This year has been a huge one for my blogging. I have been given more opportunities than I can even count. I have made more money than ever before and gotten to review some pretty sweet products. I have gotten to attend several blogging events and an amazing blog conference. This year has been one for the books and I am so thankful for anyone who has taken the time to read this blog.
Next year is already shaping up to be a big one and I can’t wait to share more with you! I have a few series that I am working on and have several projects planned! I just hope I can execute it all!!
So, without any further rambling from me…my 16 favorite posts from 2016 (in no particular order)!
ONE. Nashville! I went on a few trips this year but this one just may have been my favorite!! I love hanging with my besties and I can’t believe I haven’t seen them both, at the same time, since last July! UGH! But don’t worry, there will be a bestie get together SOON!!!
TWO. 10 Things You Didn’t Know About Me. Because these types of posts are just fun! And I am nosey and I love learning random facts about people.
THREE. Bang Bang Shrimp Pasta {recipe}. This recipe is a recent one and one of my favorites!! It is seriously delicious and I could just drink that Bang Bang Sauce.
FOUR. Riceland. Getting to tour and stay in Riceland was one of the highlights of my blogging year. It was so much fun getting to tour all of the facilities and ride on a combine!! I seriously loved it!!!
FIVE. Jolly Rancher Infused Vodka {recipe}. This recipe always takes me straight back to college!! My friends and I used to make this yummy recipe in our dorm rooms, it’s a miracle we ever attended classes much less passed them. HA! But really though, this is good stuff!
SIX. Superior Bathhouse Brewery. One of my new favorite restaurants!! I love this bathhouse turned brewery and the food is fantastic!! If you are ever in Hot Springs Arkansas then you should definitely stop by and try a drink and a meal…YUM!
SEVEN. Mom. One of my blogging goals this past year was to get more personal on the blog and I think I succeeded. This post was by far the most personal and I’m proud of myself for writing it.
EIGHT. DIY Pumpkin Facial. Because who doesn’t love all things pumpkin???
NINE. Megaphone Summit 2016. One of the best experiences of my life! I learned do much at Megaphone and am already looking forward to next year!!
TEN. Girl’s Game Night In. One of my favorite sponsored posts to date. This post was so much fun to plan and write!!!
ELEVEN. Heights Taco and Tamale. Yes, another place to eat but hey, I love food!! If you are ever in Little Rock and need some Mexican food in your life check them out!!
TWELVE. Home Bar Before and After ft Maison Blanche Paint. I discovered chalk paint this year and have been painting everything I can get my hands on! This home bar has been one of my favorite projects to date!
THIRTEEN. Annie in Memphis. I have never taken such a spontaneous trip before and I had so much fun. That’s what really matters in life, having fun.
FOURTEEN. Vegas. Because it’s not everyday you spend New Year’s Eve in vegas with your besties. And Maroon 5.
FIFTEEN. Pumpkin Pecan Pie. Because it’s pie. And it’s delicious!!
SIXTEEN. Blackberry Lemonade. Holy Moly! I stumbled across Arkansas Lightning in 2016 and never looked back. I am obsessed with all of the flavors but especially the blackberry!!
And that’s it! This is officially my last blog post of 2016. See you in the new year!!!
Happy New Year! It’s always so much fun to look back on favorite blog posts. Somehow, I missed the post about your mom, so I just went over and read it. What a beautiful post and a beautiful mom! Brought tears to my eyes!
I love that you did your 16 favorite blog posts. Even if they weren’t your most popular ones. It’s important to love what you’re writing about, even if it isn’t on everyone’s top 10 list :). Thanks for sharing! I’m adding the bang bang shrimp pasta to my recipe box!
Nashville must have been so much fun. I’ve always wanted to visit, but I’ve never been able to yet.
Wha a great run down of what you did this year! I think we should all reflect like this each year! I think that it would make us a lot more grateful of what we have!
I need some new makeup so I have to go check out your beauty post after this. That pecan pie looks amazing!
These are all great posts! I think my favorite is the Jolly Rancher vodka, that would be a great treat for New Years!
HECK YES for Jolly Rancher infused vodka! That actually sounds pretty amazing :) I will definitely have to try that out.
These are all awesome blog posts! I loved the one about Nashville. Tennessee is one of my favorite states.
Thanks for all the hard work you do. I enjoy reading your blog. Keep up the good work.
Happy New Year! You sure look like you had a fabulous blogging year with lots of wonderful opportunities. You did a lot, for sure, and I love that you shared your favorites. Sometimes my favorites are not the most popular, but the ones that meant the most to me!
