As a content creator, I'm always looking for inspiration when it comes to blog post ideas, social media segments, etc. My ultimate goal is to share posts and information that both inspire and help YOU. Whether that's sharing with you outfit ideas or why you need to open a ROTH IRA (srsly tho, get on that STAT), I hope you find value here on TheKristenDiary. I do my best to go off of the things that are relevant in my life or that I find interesting. The struggles and experiences of my twenties as I figure them out one day at a time lol. Over the past year, that's morphed the blog into a space for all things lifestyle: fashion, beauty, finance, personal growth + more.
I put up a new blog post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday which means I'm constantly checking to see how recent uploads are doing. I like to see your feedback and response to the new content, however it's also interesting to see what posts are the most popular overall. If you're in the blogging space, I recently learned that often times older posts perform better and receive the highest engagement. That makes a lot of sense, right? Those posts have a longer track record and greater chance of discovery on search engines. I've definitely found that to be true with my blog and it had me thinking back through all of the different posts I've shared over the last year. If you're new or have just stumbled on to the blog, I thought it might be fun to share with you the top five most popular post on TheKristenDiary this month. Like the stats show, the majority of them aren't brand new uploads and therefore won't be at the top of the homepage. PSA- you can still always us the search bar or browse posts by category!
TOP 5 MOST POPULAR BLOG POSTS THIS MONTH
1. HOW I SAVE MONEY SHOPPING - If you also love to shop and save money, this post is for you. I share all of my favorite tips to get a little more bang for your buck so you can buy more. These are tried + true things I've done for years that you can easily incorporate day to day. With the way prices keep going up, every little bit helps, right? I know that's been a big concern for all of us so I also have some tips on that too in this post on How to Save Money With Inflation + Rising Prices.
2. SPRING SANDALS | 2022 - I am SO into all of the Spring vibes right now. I'm ready for the warm weather and to ditch the winter wear for shorts and sandals. A few weeks ago I shared my favorite new sandals for this year in this post which has been blowing up. There are so many cute styles out + I linked all of my faves in the post. I'm definitely ordering this pair but I want to know which ones are your faves!

3. DESTINATION DISNEY | DIY DISNEY GIFT BASKET + ESSENTIALS - A few years ago, my sister took a girls trip to Disney World. Because it was right around her birthday, I made her a fun DIY Disney gift basket that I filled with all things Disney. I used a lot of different themed items + essentials for her to take on the trip. I had so much fun making the basket and it has since been one of my most popular blog posts of all time. If you're planning a trip or wanting to make a basket for someone, I'll link the post here. She loved it + it's easily customizable for all ages.

4. UNBOXING THE 2021 BUDGET BY PAYCHECK WORKBOOK - All of my finance + budget lovers will probably love this post. It's an Unboxing for the 2021 Budget by Paycheck Workbook. The workbook is a great budgeting tool created by Kumiko Love from TheBudgetMom. It helps you manage your finances with tools to track your spending, create financial goals, monitor your net worth and more. If you like to physically write and track everything out, you can read the post here.

5. HEALTHY SNACKS HAUL - I'm a big snacker so I always find myself munching, especially in the evenings after work. Snacks are one of those things that can derail healthy eating if you're not careful so I'm always on the hunt for some healthier alternatives. Aka, something a little better than the Cheez-Itz (my fave and still okay in moderation!). I look for better alternatives that still taste yummy and that I enjoy. A lot of the times I share new finds + repurchases in the hauls. I'll link this one here but you can also search the blog for more food posts. I have several other grocery hauls + recipes too!
If you check out all of the posts, I'd love to know which is your favorite + what topics you'd like to see more of here on TheKristenDiary. Feel free to share with me here or over on Instagram (you can find me @TheKristenDiary).
Which one is your fave?
