TOP 5 MOST POPULAR BLOG POSTS | 2.16.26

As expected from fewer days, February is already flying by! It's hard to believe Valentine's Day has already come and gone. I hope you had the best weekend - I spent the night in with good company and pizza :) I also did good this year by not buying too many treats, haha. I was very close to ordering a cookie cake but we persevered! With the month halfway over, it's time for this month's top 5 most popular blog posts. It actually feels like it's been forever since I posted one of these- despite February going by so fast, January was years long. I also think traveling, getting sick and having snowmageddon again has made everything a whirlwind. I sure am ready for spring and sunny days now! Here are this month's top read posts: 

1. DUCK DONUTS REVIEW + TASTE TEST - Duck Donuts remind me of the upcoming spring and summer months! I think because they started in the Outer Banks, it reminds me of the beach and warm weather! A few years ago I was lucky enough to come by a location and try them out. They are made to order donuts which is a fun and unique concept. They also have a ton of different flavors/toppings! For my full review + all of the flavors I tried, be sure to check out the review post here

2. SALT & STONE DEODORANT REVIEW + RESTOCK HAUL - This post if for all of my clean deodorant/ingredient people! After trying tons of clean, aluminum-free deodorant, my current favorite still stands with Salt & Stone. I like to use their deodorants in the cooler months and on days where I'm less active. My review goes into more detail of why I like the formula + my favorite scents. I'll link it here for you!

3. NOTHING BUNDT CAKES BISCOFF COOKIE BUTTER REVIEW - If you've been curious about the Biscoff Cookie Butter bundtlet at Nothing Bundt Cakes, you have to check out this post. I tried it out last fall and because they brought it back in January, this post had a little surge in popularity! It is so so good, ya'll. Sadly it's gone again but I'm sure it'll be back before we know it!

4. OURA RING UNBOXING - After almost four years of owning + wearing my Oura Ring daily, we're still going strong! I love love love it and am 100% happy I decided to buy one. It's a great health tracker to keep up with sleep, activity, daily "readiness," the female cycle + more. I pretty much wear mine 24/7 and I'll check my vitals + stats here and there throughout the day. If you're someone who loves data and prioritizing your health, I highly recommend purchasing one. I'll link my review post here for you- it has lots of good info on the ring, some photos + my original ordering experience. I also love that you can now purchase the ring here on Amazon which is so much easier for sizing/returns/etc.

5. PUBLIX STRAWBERRY CREAM CHEESE COOKIES REVIEW - The perfect post for February/Valentine's Day!! I was so excited to try out one of the newest bakery items at Publix- their Strawberry Cream Cheese cookies. These came out last month for Valentine's Day which I love. Not only are they festive and cute, they're super yummy too. I love strawberry so I'm a big fan! I'll link the full review here :)

How was your Valentine's weekend?? - xx.

TOP 5 MOST POPULAR BLOG POSTS | 1.14.26

1. SALT & STONE DEODORANT REVIEW + RESTOCK HAUL - By now it should be no surprise that I'm a big fan of the Salt & Stone Deodorants. This particular review/haul blog post is always a popular one and for good reason! I am always looking for beauty products with cleaner ingredients when I can. Anytime I can implement a healthy swap into my everyday routine, I will. Deodorant is a tricky one- I'll be the first to admit that not all "clean" and aluminum-free deodorants are created equal. So far, this one is the best I've found! I go into more detail in this blog post + I share my favorite scents. 

Read here: Salt & Stone Deodorant Review + Restock Haul 

2. REVIEWING YASSO GREEK YOGURT BARS - January is the perfect month for my review post on the Yasso Greek Yogurt Bars to be trending. I'm sure a lot of us try to do a clean eating reset after the holidays. The Yasso Bars are my favorite ice cream alternative- they are a lot more calorie friendly, have some protein + are delicious! This review is a good one for all my health/foodie friends! 

Read here: Reviewing Yasso Greek Yogurt Bars 

3. OURA RING UNBOXING - Also on the subject of health and wellness is sleep. I will be the first to admit that I struggle with maintaining a positive sleep schedule. I've always been a bit of a night owl so I stay up way too late. One of my priorities for this year is to work on that. I've been challenging myself on going to bed earlier and cutting out some of my scroll/reading time. It's definitely much easier said than done but my Oura ring always comes in handy. I love to review my daily sleep results + overall health metrics. It gives me a good idea of how things are going + areas where I can improve. I highly recommend investing in an Oura ring- I love love love mine. For more info, this unboxing post is a great starting point. 

Read here: Oura Ring Unboxing 

4. NOTHING BUNDT CAKES BISCOFF COOKIE BUTTER REVIEW - Another foodie fave but let's make it *unhealthy,* lol. One of my favorite pop-up flavors from NBC has been the Biscoff Cookie Butter. Lucky for everyone, it's back again this quarter as a seasonal flavor! If you like Biscoff or a warmer spice flavor profile, you must try this! It is delicious- more raving in the review post here, hehe. 



5. DUCK DONUTS REVIEW + TASTE TEST - We're all about sweets and treats this month, ya'll. Our last post is my review trying out Duck Donuts. I had them for the first time several years back and it was such a fun experience. To read all about it and my review on a ton of their yummy flavors, be sure to check this post out here


How's your new year starting off?

TOP 5 MOST POPULAR BLOG POSTS | 12.15.25

1. HATCH RESTORE ALARM CLOCK UNBOXING - Everyone must be gifting Hatch Alarm Clocks for Christmas this year, hehe!! I think the Hatch makes a great gift for anyone who values their sleeping routines and/or maybe isn't a morning person. This post is a great reference for more info on the clock itself, however I've really enjoyed mine. I love the different sound and light options and find it still functional without the monthly subscription.


2. SALT & STONE DEODORANT REVIEW + RESTOCK HAUL - My favorite clean deodorant is still the Salt & Stone line. I love their sensitive line- the formula is nice for lower activity days and during the cooler months. They also have some amazing scents that suit both men + women. 


3. REVIEWING YASSO GREEK YOGURT BARS - My favorite healthy "ice cream" is the Yasso Greek Yogurt Bars. They are so good, ya'll. Compared to regular ice cream, they're a lot less calories with some extra protein. It's the perfect sweet treat if you're trying to be mindful of your nutrition. 


4. OURA RING UNBOXING - Another great gift idea and one of my best purchases has been the Oura Ring. It's almost been four years since I first bought mine and I absolutely love. It's a great data-tracking tool for sleep, vitals, feminine health + more. I check my ring's data daily and it's a great tool for monitoring health. This post has a lot more info on the ring, my original unboxing + more. 


Read here: Oura Ring Unboxing 

5. DUCK DONUTS REVIEW + TASTE TEST - Duck Donuts is a such a fun concept. They're donut shops with "made to order" donuts that are yummy. This post has a review of my first time going + a rundown of a lot of the different flavors they offer. They have a lot of house-made flavors to choose from or you can customize your own! 


What are your favorite blog posts to read? Let me know some ideas you'd like to see in 2026!! - xx.

TOP 5 MOST POPULAR BLOG POSTS | 11.14.25

1. REVIEWING YASSO GREEK YOGURT BARS - Okay I just saw that Yasso use to come out with holiday flavors! I think it's been several years now since they did but I have no clue how I missed that- crossing my fingers they'll return again some day. It should be no secret by now that I love their products! They are so yummy and a great healthy swap for ice cream. For a full review with my thoughts + favorite flavors, be sure to check out this post


2. TASTE TESTING LESSER EVIL'S PUMPKIN SPICE POPCORN - We're almost out of pumpkin spice season but there's still a little time! If you're a fan of pumpkin spice and popcorn, definitely be sure to read my review on the Lesser Evil Pumpkin Spice Popcorn here. I love their snacks and that they use healthy ingredients. 


3. MCCORMICK FALL FINISHING SUGARS - We are all about the foodie posts in this round-up. I shopped early this year for the McCormick Fall Finishing Sugars. They are great for baking and fall beverages! I share all the info on these + my thoughts on each flavor in my review post here

Read here: McCormick Fall Finishing Sugars 

4. SALT & STONE DEODORANT REVIEW + RESTOCK HAUL - Lately I've been switching back to my beloved Salt & Stone. Just a little spoiler- this is my favorite "clean," aluminum-free deodorant. Because it's not an antiperspirant, I tend to rotate it in more during the fall + winter months. 


5. DUCK DONUTS REVIEW + TASTE TEST - One last foodie review post for Duck Donuts! If you've never been to one, they sell made to order donuts with tons of flavor combinations to choose from. It's definitely a unique donut experience plus they are so pretty too! My first time visiting I tried so many and reviewed them in this post



Hope you have the best weekend!! - xx.

TOP 5 MOST POPULAR BLOG POSTS | 10.15.25

1. TASTE TESTING LESSER EVIL'S PUMPKIN SPICE POPCORN - I love a good pumpkin snackie!! I need to get on trying out some new Pumpkin Spiced flavored things- this post is a review of the Lesser Evil Pumpkin Spice popcorn. I love their snacks- they're delicious + made from clean ingredients! 


2. SALT & STONE DEODORANT REVIEW + RESTOCK HAUL - Also in the clean department- these Salt & Stone deodorants. I've become a broken record on these, lol. After years of trying tons of aluminum-free deodorant- so far my favorite has been the Salt & Stone. For my full review and favorite scents, check out the post here


3. NOTHING BUNDT CAKES S'MORES + OREO REVIEW - Ya'll these d*mn bundt cakes will be the death of me! Nothing Bundt Cakes has been putting out some bangers this year in the LTO/pop-up flavors. So far I think we've tried and reviewed 4-5 here on the blog. Obviously I had to snagged the summer S'mores flavor which is randomly popular this month?? I also tried it with the Oreo one- a permanent flavor. Maybe that's what you guys are after... hehe. You can read my thoughts on both here. Anyone know what the next one is?? I really need it to be meh so I can skip- I couldn't pass up the last Caramel Apple Cider + Biscoff ones! 


4. DUCK DONUTS REVIEW + TASTE TEST - More snackies!! I really feel like I need to do a second visit to Duck Donuts, it's been several years now. My first and only time going was back in 2021! I shared my first impressions in this post here- I love that the donuts are made to order and that they have so many combinations! 


5. MCCORMICK FALL FINISHING SUGARS - Ya'll know I had to grab these early! Last year McCormick introduced new finishing sugars during the holidays which were a b*tch to find, lol. I searched high and low for the Christmas flavors and *thankfully* found them, however nothing haunts me like the things I can't find! On a real note- it drives me nuts. Just this week I had to hunt down these new holiday Triscuits lol-- Cinnamon Brown Sugar, hello???? Everything always sells out way too fast so as soon as I saw these new fall flavors, I immediately ordered. The funny thing is they came prepared this year and I've seen them all over town, hahahahah. You can also buy them all online here and the prices are the same as you'd pay in store. Anywho- these are so fun. Great for baking, holidays drinks + more. 



What are your favorite fall snacks??

I am so late on this post- totally slipped my mind, ya'll. September has been a blur, it's hard to believe it's almost over. I always like to post these popular post recaps at around halfway through the month- instead we went for some Sexy Suede Bags for fall. Not a total fail though- there are some stunners out right now if you're shopping for a suede bag. I'll link that post here, hehe.

TOP 5 MOST POPULAR BLOG POSTS | 8.15.25

Happy half of August, ya'll. I'm totally in my fall feels now! I've already started looking for all the fall things and I put up my first fall-themed blog post on Wednesday. If it weren't for this hot a** weather, we'd be in good shape, lol. It's been way too hot- I'm ready for sweatshirt season. August has been a bit of a blur, too- I didn't even register we were at the halfway point until I was working on today's post. As always, here is a round-up of this month's top 5 most popular blog posts. We've got a mix of beauty, foodie + books! 

1. SALT + STONE DEODORANT REVIEW + RESTOCK HAUL - If you're into clean beauty + deodorant, you don't want to miss this post! Salt & Stone is one of the best brands I've found in the clean deo space- I share all the deets and my fave scents here


2. NOTHING BUNDT CAKES S'MORES + OREO REVIEW - For all of my fellow foodies + cake lovers, this post is a review of the Nothing Bundt Cakes Bundtlets in the limited edition S'mores flavor and their everyday Oreo. Cake is always a good idea and they have been on their game this year with so many good seasonal + pop-up flavors! I love a good LTO so I couldn't pass them up- my only regret of the summer is not snagging one of the Key Limes! I'm glad ya'll love the food reviews as much as I do so stay tuned for some fall flavaaas. PS- I also tried out the Strawberry Cheesecake Swirl a few weeks back-- I'll link that review post here


3. TOP 5 MOST POPULAR BLOG POSTS | 7.14.25 - I just know ya'll can't get enough of me and want to read even more TKD posts!! Hehe- on a real note, last month's blog post round-up DID make it into this month's most popular posts as well. That always trips me out! If you do want to see what was on last month's list, I'll link the post for you here :) 


4. NEW BOOK RELEASES | 7.21.25 - Ya'll I have so many books on my TBR list and it just keeps getting longer and longer with too many good book releases coming out. It's a never-ending cycle, I can't keep up! All of these look so good too. I've been enthralled in the Idaho 4 case for years now, I'm definitely interested in picking up The Idaho Four: An American Tragedy. I'm also very much shifting my mood into fall, however I still have some time to squeeze in some summer romance vibes. I love the premise of The View From Lake Como- maybe if I read it, it'll push me closer to getting there IRL! 


5. DUCK DONUTS REVIEW + TASTE TEST - What a sweet surprise to see this post here! Almost four years ago to the day (it was actually August 16th), I posted this Duck Donuts review. I haven't been back to one since but it was a fun experience and my first time having "made to order" donuts. They also make for a great photo op- look how yummy these look!! I remember them being super rich but very good- a fun stop to make if you're ever near one! Be sure to read the post here if you want to know all the flavors I ordered + my favorites. 



TGIF, ya'll. Hope you have the best weekend!

TOP 5 MOST POPULAR BLOG POSTS | 7.14.25

Hellooooo hello! Ya'll we are just weeks away from the start of the Fall seasonnnnnn, at least in my book! Once we get into August my mind definitely shifts to fall mode and all things Halloween. It's crazy to me how quickly this summer has been flying by but I'm never really sad to see it go, lol. I will say the one thing I do love is having longer days but I'm definitely looking forward to cooler weather and spooky season. Realistically it'll probably be hot here until September/October *if* we're lucky. Sometimes we have warmer Octobers and Novembers which kills the whole vibe of fall, lol. Now that we're halfway through July, ya'll know it's time for the monthly round-up with the top 5 most popular blog posts here on TKD. Like usual, there is a mix of some oldies + newbies and this month we're apparently all into makeup and snacking, lol. Here's the list: 

1. SALT & STONE DEODORANT REVIEW + RESTOCK HAUL - All of my fellow "clean ingredient" people- I see you. If you're also conscious about the ingredients you consume and put in/on your body, I'd be willing to bet you've taken a deep dive into aluminum free, "clean" deodorant. I've been testing out healthier alternatives for years now and (spoiler alert)- my current favorite is from Salt & Stone. I've repurchased it several times now and I love all of the scents I've tried. Definitely check out this post for more on why I love the deodorant + my favorite scents. 


2. TOP 5 MOST POPULAR BLOG POSTS | 6.16.25 - Okay this has been happening over the last several months which was and is still surprising to me! These "top 5" blog post round-ups have now also been making it into future "top 5" blog post round-ups, lol. It's a little trippy, especially because some months there are overlaps in what's been the most popular and others it's entirely different. I'm definitely not mad about it, though! I'm glad to see you all are reading and enjoying these posts too. This particular round-up post is from last month with the top 5 most popular blog posts of June. I'll link it here for you if you're curious! 


3. REVIEWING YASSO GREEK YOGURT BARS - Now that we're in the heart of the summer, you have to go buy yourself some Yasso bars. They are insanely good for a greek yogurt "ice cream." They taste great, have less calories/fat than regular ice cream and a little extra protein. I ramble on a little more in this review post + share all of my favorite flavors. 


4. NOTHING BUNDT CAKES S'MORES + OREO REVIEW - Also yummy for the summer but significantly less healthy- this review post on the new Nothing Bundt Cakes S'mores Bundtlet and the Oreo Bundtlet. I don't get the bundt cakes too often but they've definitely grabbed my attention lately with the limited edition flavors!! I'm super bummed I missed out on the Key Lime so I made sure to try out the S'mores. They also were running a BOGO promo so I decided to also try the Oreo flavor out. If you want all the 411 on these, you can read the review post here. Also be sure to snag the S'mores flavor soon, I think it's leaving in a few weeks! 


5. NEW AT SEPHORA - Ya'll know I stay stalking the new arrivals on Sephora! I've always been a makeup junkie so I love to keep up with what's new. This particular "New at Sephora" post is from the spring and has so many fun products that I think are great picks for summer. I still need to pick up the Beach Skin body spray- it sounds so good for summer.

TOP 5 MOST POPULAR BLOG POSTS | 6.16.25

Hello, hello! I almost completely skipped on posting today's June round-up because I didn't even register that we're already halfway through the month. June has definitely sped right on by which is unusual- I feel like normally the summer months tend to creep by. Now that we have longer days, it always feels like there's more time to get things done which might have something to do with it. I also love that it's daylight out until around 9pm here, however I won't really be sad to see summer go. Ya'll know I'm a fall gal through and through so I'm counting down the days to cooler weather and Spooktober! For today's post, we have the top 5 most popular blog posts of the month which has a little bit of beauty and a little bit of health/lifestyle. Here's the line-up: 

1. SALT & STONE DEODORANT REVIEW + RESTOCK HAUL - For all of my ingredient-conscious, natural-deodorant-loving peeps- this post is for you. I've taken a pause on my hunt for the best natural, aluminum-free deodorant so as of now, the winner stands with Salt & Stone. Their formula and scents have worked the best for me + my body. I will say I prefer these during the cooler months and for when I'm not working out or as active. When it comes to the gym and the hot summer months, I stick to my favorite clinical strength deodorant


2. REVIEWING YASSO GREEK YOGURT BARS - Something I do love during the hot summer months are the Yasso Greek Yogurt Bars. These are so delicious and a better alternative to ice cream if you're watching what you eat. Most are 100-150 calories each and they have a higher protein content from the greek yogurt.

3. OURA RING UNBOXING - We're approaching the three year mark since I first purchased my Oura Ring. This blog post was my initial unboxing and ever since, I've pretty much been wearing the ring 24/7. I love it to track my sleep, menstrual cycle + more. It's a great tool to analyze what's going on inside the body and I like being able to compare data and trends over time. If you've debated on buying one, hopefully this unboxing post will give you some helpful info!

4. TOP 5 MOST POPULAR BLOG POSTS | 5.14.25 - I find it funny that some of my more recent "Top 5 Most Popular Blog Posts" posts have also started making it into the Top 5 Posts, lol... it's a little trippy but I'm glad to know they are popular on the blog. I always find it fun to share because there's usually a good blend of old + new posts. You can check out the most popular blog posts from May here

Read here: Top 5 Most Popular Blog Posts | 5.14.25

5. NEW AT SEPHORA - Probably *MY* fave post of today's round-up is this New at Sephora post. I've definitely been feeling more shoppy lately and I'm always keeping an eye on new beauty releases. There are soooo many good things out right now too. Be sure to check this post if you love beauty too! I definitely have my eye on the new PHLUR Beach fragrance and this new NARS palette-- she's a stunner! So many fun, summery products.
