Hi friends! As you have probably seen by now, I have been counting down the top 10 products of 2019 on my Instagram Stories. These are all the top picks by YOU! That means these are the most clicked on or most purchased items by YOU this past year. I hope you love each and every one of them (you have really great taste!)
In this post I wanted to count down those again for you here, and I added a couple of my favorite products from 2019 as well that weren’t the top purchased items but I think they definitely should have been!
I also added my top blog posts of 2019 at the bottom. These are the top 10 most read blog posts from the year. My blog is like a diary to me, and I wouldn’t be where I am today (or as passionate about what I do) without it. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my posts daily, you have helped me more than you know. I also love knowing I am not writing to myself!
If you aren’t subscribed to my blog, please do so HERE. I only send out an email when there is a new blog post up. I will also be re-doing both my entire website AND my newsletter in 2020 so you will be the first to know about it all!
Top 10 Products of 2019
These are saved in detail under Instagram Highlights ‘Top Products 2019’. I have photos wearing the items saved as well as try on sessions for each item!
10. Ugg Kristen Waterproof Wedge Bootie
These wedge booties are comfortable, super cute, waterproof, and they grip ice and snow well. The perfect booties for Fall/Winter and they came in two color options. Most colors are sold out now, but some sizes are still available in black. They fit tts.
9. Treasure & Bond High Waist Boyfriend Cutoff Shorts
Top 10 for two years in a row. I will be bringing these and 1 other pair of shorts with me to Hawaii for our long trip. They are just the best! Go down a size to allow for stretch.
8. 90 Degree Amazon Leggings
These leggings feel just like Lulu Align leggings! They are amazing and one of you recently let me know they are available in fun colors/prints at TJ Maxx for only $16, so I linked some of those for you below as well!
$16 styles from TJ MAXX:
7. Sole Society Belynda Sneaker
The most comfortable sneaker! The blush color looks more neutral in person so you can wear them with everything.
6. Amazon V Two Piece Swimsuit
I will be rocking this swimsuit again in Hawaii. I just need a new to grab a new, fun color!
5. ASOS Design Sleeveless Tiered Cotton Midi Dress
You guys sold this out three times this summer. It is soooo pretty! I definitely still have it hanging in my closet and will alert you immediately if it every comes back.
4. Amazon Pom Swimsuit
I love this suit so much! I bought it in leopard for Hawaii so you will be seeing it again soon.
3. Amazon Casual Loose Pocket Maxi Dress
The absolute BEST MAXI DRESS! It is a jersey material so it is super loose and stretchy. I own it in two colors, in strapless, and in long sleeve.
2. Free People Ottoman Tunic
My favorite sweater of all time. It recently went on sale and sold out in all colors within a day. You can find it at some websites in select colors and sizes right now, but I will of course alert you once it is restocked or a new color comes out.
1.Finishing Touch Flawless Women’s Painless Hair Remover
Game changer guys! Grab this $14 miracle worker and remove all of your face hair to allow your skincare products to absorb faster and for your makeup to glide on smoother than ever.
(I want to also add that some Nordstrom Anniversary Sale items were actually in the top 10 but I did not include those. Here they are listed below:
Something Navy Leopard V Neck Cardigan
Gigietta Booties BACK IN STOCK
Chelsea28 Cowl Neck Sweater BACK IN STOCK
Steve Madden Feather Studded Loafer BACK IN STOCK
Treasure and Bond Rainey Mule
Gibson Marilyn Off the Shoulder Sweater
My Favorite Products of 2019 (that are not already on the list above!)
These are in no particular order:
1. SK-11 Facial Treatment Essence
You can find this miracle water at Costco at a discount! If you aren’t a member or don’t have one close by, I linked it for you from the SK-11 website. It has done wonders for my face. You just have to try it to know and see the difference for yourself. I have never heard of anyone using it and not seeing a major difference in their skin.
You apply it after your toner but before your serums/moisturizer. It is worth every penny.
2. Aerie Henley
I am going to keep my eyes peeled for this to come back in stock, and when it does I am buying at least 5! The most amazingly soft top and I love the loose fit and just everything about it!
3. Tula Beauty Sleep
I haven’t covered this much, but I definitely will in 2020. I recently discovered it and I use it every other night. You simple pump a small amount into your hand and apply to your face and neck before you go to bed. I wake up every morning to beautiful, soft, glowing skin. I am obsessed. My code MILLER20 gets you 20% off if you decide to grab it too.
4. Tretorn Sneakers
I recently discovered Tretorn in 2019 and I will never look back. They 100% more comfortable than Golden Goose. They are a similar style of sneaker to GG without the dirty look about them. They last forever and are SO INSANELY COMFORTABLE! If you haven’t tried Tretorn yet and are in the market for some sneakers, here are a few of my current favorites:
5. Charlotte Tillbury Flawless Filter
Never wear makeup without it. It is the first thing I apply to my face every time. I only wish I had found it sooner. It gives light coverage for a more natural look and the most amazing glow! Should be in everyone’s beauty routine IMO! I wear Light/Medium.
6. DSW Dr. Scholl’s Slip on Sneakers
I hope everyone scooped these up when I first posted them. I wear them every day that I can. The easiest decision when I am thinking about what shoes to grab when I am running out of the house. They are super easy to slip on and I don’t know if my foot has ever worn something more comfortable. I have them in two colors, both sold out now. I will keep an eye out for them to come back!
Top 10 Blog Posts of 2019 According to Page Views
1.https://themilleraffect.com/ belize-roundup/
I cannot believe my BELIZE ROUNDUP was the #1 most visited page this year! I guess I definitely need to plan a few more beach vacations this year. Luckily I will be heading to Hawaii next week so you should have tons of beach content from there to read!
I will try to do weekly Hawaii roundups since this Belize post was so popular!
2. https://themilleraffect.com/ holiday-gift-guides/
Not surprised at this one at all since all 30 GIFT GUIDES were put under 1 blog post. I hope you and your family were happy with what you bought off of my guides this year!
3.https://themilleraffect.com/ amazon-prime-day-2019/
AMAZON PRIME DAY actually had more page views than my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale post (right below!) That baffles me since I spent 10x more time on the Nordstrom Sale. In 2020 I will give them both equal measure!
4. https://themilleraffect.com/ nordstrom-anniversary-sale- 2019/
The NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE is year after year one of the most popular blog posts that I have. It also usually has tons of products that end up in my top 10 products that year. Head to that section in this post above to see what your favorite products were from the sale.
I am constantly trying to make this post better for you guys! Please comment below with suggestions on how I could have made shopping better/easier for you.
5. https://themilleraffect.com/ punta-mita/
Another roundup! I also think people are very curious about PUNTA MITA since not as many people know about it. One of my favorite trips of 2019. I loved spending this time with my girls and we shot some amazing content while we were there.
6. https://themilleraffect.com/ my-breastfeeding-journey/
My JOURNEY WITH BREASTFEEDING was super personal and hard to write since I knew I would get some backlash. Women are so afraid to complain about anything that has to do with pregnancy or postpartum because it can always be worse. I wanted to make sure those who were also struggling with breastfeeding knew that they were not alone.
7. https://themilleraffect.com/ sleep-training/
SLEEP TRAINING isn’t for everyone, but after only eight weeks Miller was sleeping 7-7 and she has done the same every since. I hope these tips, tricks, and methods helped you as well.
8. https://themilleraffect.com/ shopbop-tiered-sale/
Another very popular sale. I love SHOPBOP but it is best shopped when they have a large sale going on (since everything on there is pretty pricey!) Plus, people are finally learning that you get free two day shipping on Shopbop if you have Amazon Prime!
9. https://themilleraffect.com/ 10-things-you-need-in-your- hospital-bag/
I waited until AFTER I came home with Miller to write this post. I have no idea why first time moms write these posts before they even go! You really have no idea what you will want or need until you experience it for yourself. Instead of giving you a list of ideas 30 pages long, I just have the top 10 THINGS FOR YOUR HOSPITAL BAG that you definitely don’t want to forget to bring! Make sure you have these in you bag first, and then you can add the extra things you think you may want.
10. https://themilleraffect.com/ how-bloggers-make-money-in- 2019/
I think bloggers have a bad rep for maybe being greedy, owning too many clothes, doing too many ads, having too many swipe ups, etc. These are all ways BLOGGERS MAKE MONEY and for some of us, this is how we provide for our family. I think transparency is best to clear the stigma. This post tells you guys exactly how we earn income.
Are there some posts you would like for me to include in 2020? I would love to start gathering blog post ideas! Please leave them in a comment below.
