10 most popular blog posts of the decade
In 2020, I’ll celebrate ten years of blogging. This blog is currently nine years old and I’ll celebrate my 10th blog anniversary in February. To wrap up the decade, I’ve compiled a list of my ten most popular blog posts from the last ten years. A lot has happened over the past decade. I’ve changed the design of this blog several times, completely rebranded the entire vision of my brand, and launched a YouTube channel.
I took a deep dive into the analytics to see which posts were fan favorites. In no particular order, let’s take a look back at some of the most popular blog posts from the last ten years.

Around Atlanta: My favorite coffee shops in Atlanta
Some of my popular posts during the past decade have been about places to see and things to do in Atlanta and other cities. This blog post from 2018 on my favorite coffee shops in Atlanta was fun to create. I started my blog ten years ago based on recommendations from friends that I should share what I love in Atlanta. I plan to share more content in my Around Atlanta series in the weeks to come.

I collaborated with Coca-Cola for a fun series where influencers from Atlanta, we were challenged to create recipes for the corporate brand using Coke, of course. Coke is a great multi-purpose ingredient that works well in many recipes. I wanted to create a savory recipe that included the soda product. I took a spin on Taco Tuesday and made pulled pork BBQ tacos in the slow cooker using Coca-Cola as a marinade. The Coca-Cola goes well with the pork because it gives it a sweet caramel glaze.

In 2018, I signed up for a yoga challenge at one of my favorite studios in Atlanta. A small group of yogis embarked upon a journey to do yoga for 40 days straight.

This orange coat is still one of my favorite pieces in my closet to wear. It’s light enough to wear during the fall months in Georgia when it is not too cold, but it’s great for layering with a sweater during the winter. Your comments flooded my timeline, asking where this coat was from.
