Top Posts of 2021

We wrote about everything from beauty, fashion, and travel to holidays, hot sales, and home decor. See the posts that you thought were pretty awesome this year.

Number One

Home Decor Subscription Box – We love Decocrated and it looks like you do, too! This home decor subscription box brings the best in interior design right to your door every season. Plus, the holiday add-on boxes are full of fun themed decor to spice up your home each holiday.

Number Two

Walmart Deals for Days – Who doesn’t love a good deal?! We certainly do…that’s the reason we’re here! These deals were early Black Friday specials at Walmart covering all things from toys to tech to home. While most of these deals are no longer available, it’s good to know we’re all looking for the same thing! Stay tuned for tons more of the best deals around in 2022.

Number Three

National Nurses Day – These past couple of years have not been easy for our healthcare workers, to say the least. And while one day, or even one week, of honor will never suffice in being able to properly thank these incredible workers, we can show our appreciation for all they have done during some of the most difficult and trying times imaginable with a little gift and lots of kind words.

Number Four

Elf on the Shelf – If you’re familiar with this impish little elf who shows up every holiday season, then you know how much trouble he (or she) can stir up! And you also know how hard it is to come up with new ideas and new shenanigans for your elf to get into. We’ve started a running list of some of the best Elf on the Shelf ideas you all have shared with us, which we will be adding to every year!

Number Five

#NSale Lookbook – The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is one of THE biggest sales of the year! We get so excited just thinking about all the gorgeous things we’ll get to add to our wardrobes, beauty routines, and home decor for seriously awesome prices. We highlighted some of the best sale items from this past year, and then Kristy shared everything she actually purchased…and you guys loved it just as much as she did!
