My Top Favorite Blog Posts From 2015 + Most-Viewed Blog Posts From the Past Year

Looking back at the posts of 2015 and picking favorites made me realize how much I love sharing unique posts that teach. I want to keep going in that direction for 2016, while sharing earnest/simple lifestyle posts along the way! These are my favorite posts from the past year:

1. Aromatherapy 101: The Science of Essential Oils. Use Aromatherapy Like a Pro My favorite posts are informative ones requiring loads of research!  I'm going to keep sharing information learned from my detailed medical aromatherapy coursework.

2. My Kon Mari Journey: A Method to Organize Your Home Once- And Never Again + FAQ + Results: I HIGHLY recommend the KonMari method for EVERYONE. It is truly transformative for your home and thought process! My full home tour post 2nd run-through of the method is coming soon.

4. Orange Peel Powder DIY: A Healthy Multi-Purpose Spice in Two Easy Steps My favorite DIYS are stupid-easy ones using things you'd normally throw away. This powder is insanely nutritious, fragrant AND delicious. To think of all the peels I've simply tossed...

5. $2 Woodgrain Photography Backdrop DIY And my 2nd favorite DIYS are stupid-easy, stupid-cheap but very useful. I get a lot of use out of my cheap backdrops.

11. My Top 22 Tools for Digital Making It was fun to wrangle these up.
