Southern Belle in Training "Best Of's"

     Happy Thursday! I had hoped to get another Maine Travel Guide post up for you today, but with being just over a week out from moving, I didn't have the time to put that together this week. Travel blog posts take me the longest to write, and I didn't want to rush through with everything I have going on and publish something that I'm not quite proud of. I'll try to get that up in early September after moving!

     Anyways, I didn't want to leave you without something new today, so I thought of the fun idea to take a look back at some of my past favorite SBIT posts! My seven year blogiversary is two weeks away, and with blogging for that long I have a lot of content from months and years past that I still love. It's easy to miss a post or two on someone's blog sometimes, so I thought I'd spend today highlighting some favorite posts of mine that you can enjoy in the meantime! On the morning show, my co-host and I will put together what we call "Best Of" shows when a company holiday falls on a weekday (like Memorial Day or Labor Day) - since we're off from work and not doing a live show, we play pre-recorded favorite audio from past morning shows. So here is my blog's version of a best-of!

     FASHION:

• My favorite outfit post from 2019 so far
• Things I actually wear day to day in the summer 
• The cheapest way to put together a Black Tie outfit 
• The best things I purchased last year
• My favorite outfit that I wore at NYFW

   BEAUTY:

• My daily makeup routine
• Hair curling tutorial (from 2016 but I still do it this way)
• A fun and easy hairstyle tutorial for long hair 
• Some recent beauty PR packages
• My shampoo and conditioner (from 2016 but I still use these)

     LIFESTYLE:

• Why I don't want to blog full time
• Some personal thoughts about my hometown
• Reflections on my first full year in Charlottesville 
• My 10 all-time favorite TV shows
• How to help a friend going through a legal situation

   TRAVEL:

• My favorite Vermont Travel Guide from my time living there
• A 2015 throwback post from studying abroad in France (writing this made me realize how much I loved travel blogging)
• Sharing all about my favorite spot in my home state
• Where to find the most beautiful murals in Virginia
• The hotel that I've stayed at twice in Richmond

     Hope you enjoyed this first ever Best Of post! I'd love to know which of these older blog posts were your favorite. 😊Have a great weekend, and I'll be back Monday with a new outfit post! Can't believe the month of August is almost over... I'm so ready to be fully moved into my new apartment and able to spend more time blogging again!

     God Bless,
