Top 10 Favorite Things I've Blogged About, 2021 Edition
So I know I already do a “Most Worn” list at the end of each year, but I also like doing my “top 10 favorite things I’ve blogged about (ever)” list at the end of each year since I blog about a lot of things other than clothes. Also this is a more subjective list since it’s my personal favorites. So yes there’s some overlap (because obviously if an item of clothing is a favorite, it’ll get worn a lot), but here are some of my other favorite items I’ve blogged about. And for reference, here are my top 10 favorite things I’ve blogged about in 2020, 2019, and 2018 (also a lot of overlap between the lists over the years).
Ruggable: It’s only been about 2 years since I got it, but I love love love my Ruggable and yes, it does live up to the hype. I’ve washed my rugs multiple times now and each time it comes out looking as good as new. I have yet to try the cushioned rug pad but that’s only because I’m 100% satisfied with my original (uncushioned) area rug. And earlier this year I purchased a second Ruggable for my entrance way (which as you can imagine gets a lot of traffic), and love that one too.
The Nugget: Another fixture that’s a favorite in our living room is Emi’s Nugget, or play couch. She still climbs on it occasionally but we mostly have it set up as temporary seating. And when my mom comes over, she can use it as her temporary mattress (but keep in mind my mom is under 5’ so only short-ish people can really use it as a bed).
Pepper Bra: Ok so yes this is a fairly recent purchase, but I can say without a doubt that Pepper bras are an essential. I wear them everyday and the best part is that I don’t even think about it (they’re comfy and the straps stay put). My favorite is the Mesh All You underwire bra (of which I have two). You can read my unsponsored Pepper bra review here.
Celine Soft Cube: This rockstar bag has been on my Favorites list and Most Worn list for 3 years running. And for good reason: 1) IT’s light, 2) It’s functional, 3) It looks as good as the day I bought it (used), and 4) It’s still stylish and the design is timeless. I wouldn’t be surprised if this bag remains on the list until the day I stop blogging (whenever that might be).
Mate the Label Sweatshirt: I’ve already talked about it in my 2021 Holiday Gift Guide and my Most Worn list. I’m adding it here because it’s a favorite though I probably don’t need to go on about it again. You can see my review of if here.
Augustinus Bader Rich Cream and Lip Balm: The AB Rich Cream first appeared on my favorites list in 2019 and it’s still going strong for 2021. I use this everyday and I feel like it really helps to keep my skin texture smooth and my skin tone even. I know it’s such a luxury so I feel very grateful for all those who sign up for AB Club through my referral (and thus earning me some referral credit). Also new this year was the AB lip balm, which has become another favorite. You can read all my Augustinus Bader reviews here.
Pact Organic Clothing for Emi: I used to put PACT underwear on my favorite list for myself (and I still do wear their underwear daily and purchase more from PACT whenever I need more). But the real rockstars from PACT have been Emi’s clothes. She is usually wearing all PACT all the time because not only are they super comfy 100% organic cotton clothes, but they’re super durable. Plus my friends are all thrilled when I eventually hand down her PACT clothes to their kids.
Tangie Shampoo Bar: I love my Tangie shampoo bars because not only does it provide a great lather, it’s also so gentle on the scalp. But maybe best of all it comes plastic free!
Quince Linen Sheet: And last but not least, Quince’s linen sheets are the only sheets I use on my bed since I got them. And this year I purchased another set in gray linen so I can keep rotating between the two. I love how these sheets soften with time, but also how they’re naturally insulating in the winter and cool in the summer. I’ve always heard about the wonders of linen bedding, and thanks to Quince I’m able to experience it. You can read my review of Quince’s linen sheets here and you can find all my other Quince reviews here.
P.S. There’s not going to be a New Year’s resolution post this year since I already talked about my main NY resolution: #LessNewin2022
