TOP 5 MOST POPULAR BLOG POSTS | JUNE 2023

June is going by so fast, I didn't even realize that we're already halfway through the month. I was surprised when I saw the 14th on my calendar earlier today, lol. That sounds a little silly and I'm ALWAYS a broken record on how fast time flies, but this month hasn't really felt all that fast to me. Everything feels a little slower in the summer but I guess time keeps ticking the same as always, huh? Y'all know the halfway point means it's time for a round-up of the most popular blog posts here on TKD from the past month. Sometimes I struggle to come up with new content ideas so I appreciate having this one on my schedule! We're also throwing it back with a lot of oldies today. Besides a recent Healthy Grocery Haul, all of these posts are from the last year or two! Here's what made the cut: 

1. OURA RING UNBOXING - I'm starting to think I need to just copy + paste the same blurb for the Oura Ring Unboxing, lol. If you're new to these posts or the blog, one of my most popular posts of all time has become an unboxing for the Oura ring. Because it's such a popular post, it ends up in almost every single one of these "top 5" round-ups. I can't complain though, I absolutely love my ring! It's a wearable sleep tracking ring so you're into improving your health or sleep, I highly recommend.

2. BEAUTY HAUL - I'm always surprised to see this beauty haul post thrown in the mix. I don't know why, I guess it just feels a little random to me? Maybe because I only actually purchased a few items + the rest were "freebies." I will say I still love + use several of the items in this one, though! The Velour Brow Pencil + the Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream are both phenomenal + constantly in my rotation.

3. A HEALTHYISH GROCERY HAUL - I've been on a Publix kick lately! I was just talking about this in Monday's Publix Haul, lol. I love their BOGO sales every week + that they carry a wide variety of different items. This grocery haul from a few weeks ago was a pretty good one too, they had a lot of my favorites on BOGO that week. I've been working on upping my protein and trying to eat healthier meals at home so I've been going grocery shopping more.

4. WALKING 10,000+ STEPS EVERY DAY FOR 3 WEEKS - I love that this post has been getting a lot of interest lately. Almost two years ago, I started walking 10,000+ steps every single day. After my first three weeks doing it, I wrote this blog post about my experience and I've stuck with it ever since. I feel very proud that it's part of my daily routine + I think it's a great habit for anyone to pick up.

5. 5 MOTIVATIONAL BOOKS I WANT TO READ - I'm ashamed to say I still haven't read ANY of these books yet so this one's still very relevant to me. On the positive, I have been getting back into reading so maybe I'll cross one or two off soon?? I recently finished Greenlights and I'm almost finished with Every Summer After. What have you been reading lately? I always love new recommendations!
