TGIF, you guys. Always keeping it real-- today was a whirlwind of a day that has left me tired and exhausted. I kept pondering what I should put up on the blog for you today when I remembered it was Friday the 13th! It's always a little eery when these come around, lol. Call me superstitious but weird things definitely happen... ya'll be safe out there. Being the 13th also means we're pretty much halfway through October now. I figured today would be a good day to go ahead and share the top five most popular blog post from the last month. If you're new to these posts- I always put these up around the 15th so it's really a glimpse of the end of last month + half of this month.
1. OURA RING UNBOXING - Over the last few weeks my sleep has been out of whack. I've been staying up too late, randomly waking up in the middle of the night and just feeling extra tired. I love the data my Oura Ring gives me on my overall sleep. It captures a ton of information which always helps me to see where I can make changes and improve. Check out this post for an unboxing from when I purchased the ring + my overall experience.

2. MY AMAZON STOREFRONT - Did you do any shopping for Prime Days this week? I ended up skipping out this time but you can always find my favorite items + everyday picks in my Amazon Storefront. This post also has some extra info on the specifics, links, etc.!

3. FALL SWEATERS I LOVE - I'm definitely in a buying mood for new fall clothes! I've been on the hunt for some good long-sleeve basics, namely sweaters. In a perfect world, one day I will have the perfect "capsule" wardrobe with go-to pieces that I can keep wearing for years and years. I'm loving all of the styles + different textures from the ones in this post!

4. WHAT TO BUY FOR EVERYONE ON YOUR LIST | HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE ROUND-UP - The time to start Christmas/holiday shopping for gifts is here! It's so crazy though, right? I can't believe Christmas is just a little over two months away. Lots of new gift guides will be coming to the blog in the next month or two, however this blog post from a few years ago is a complete, all-in-one guide for everyone on your list. I still recommend (and would personally buy) all of these items for gifts or myself now. There's a little bit of everything for the gals, guys, beauty lovers + more.

5. MY SEPTEMBER WELLNESS GOALS - Okay, September came and went LIKE THAT. I went through a weird July/August this year so September was a little bit of a "reset" month for me. This blog post was all about my wellness goals + getting myself in a better place mentally, physically + spiritually. I'm definitely still working on a lot of the goals, however ya'll will be happy to know that I started a new book for October, have been keeping up with my workouts + reading my Bible. I will say I'm back to slacking with healthier eating... my job is so busy this time of the year that I'm eating out more often and if we're keeping it real- just allowing myself to eat what I want. Sometimes you have to pick and choose your battles, ya know? Between that and all the fall foods, it's a toughie for sure. I was excited to see that this post was in the top five for the month, though. I went back and read through it myself which was a nice reminder of my goals + progress!
