My Favorite Posts From 2020

January 14, 2021

2020 was a year. A year that was troublesome for many but a few thrived which is inspiring. Even though I don’t like looking back I wanted to take a look back at the posts I published last year because I’m really proud that I was even able to publish anything at all. Blogging was one of the few things that kept me put together in 2020. Anyway, these were my personal favorite posts that I wrote last year.

DAY6 SUNGJIN Birthday Event
The only K-pop idol birthday fan event I went to whilst in South Korea. It was really fun and I wished I went to more while I was there because who knows when I’ll be able to visit Korea again.

Animal Crossing New Horizons Journal Spread
Animal Crossing was one of the few good things from 2020. I even created an Animal Crossing journal! haha

Animal Crossing Item Bag ♥ Crochet Pattern
One of my favorite crochet patterns from last year. I’m so happy that the paper bag came out exactly as I pictured. If you like, you can buy one for yourself here.

Animal Crossing New Horizons Journal Setup
If you ordered a copy of Animal Crossing through Target you got an exclusive Animal Crossing-themed journal. I use the journal to track all my villagers, plan island renovations, and other AC activities.

Snapshots From Lavendula
One last Animal Crossing post! I completely forgot about this series, if you like to see snapshots of my AC island. Check out this post to find out my dream address.

Pink Fuzzy Time Babies ♥ Crochet Pattern
If you watch Summer Camp Island then these little creatures might seem familiar.

My Experience Living in South Korea ♥ Mooey In Korea
In this post, I share my experience of living abroad in South Korea for a few months.

How I’m Learning Tarot ♥ Tarot Beginner Tips
In 2020, I picked up many new hobbies, one of them being Tarot. I started teaching myself how to read Tarot cards because it’s something I’ve always been curious about. I even made a Tarot journal where I track all my daily card pulls.

DAY6 Denimalz Garland ♥ Crochet Pattern
Day6, one of my favorites bands at the moment. I know they went through a difficult year last year. Their songs got through me a lot which was why I was inspired to crochet a garland out of their Denimalz characters. If you would like that Day6 compass keychain, they’re available in my shop.

Skull Granny Square Garland ♥ Crochet Pattern
Granny squares are always fun to crochet. I was inspired to make this colorful Mexican-inspired garland after watching Coco.

How to Celebrate the Taurus Blue Full Moon
Last year I got into moon energy. Now, I track all lunar cycles but especially full and new moons. I know it may seem like a weird thing to be interested in but what can I say my sun/rising sign is in cancer. haha

How To Make Your Own Crochet Patterns
A very requested post. I’ve been writing my own crochet patterns for years so I’m happy to share my tips with you.

Gingerbread House Ornament ♥ Crochet Pattern
I ended the year with this cute gingerbread crochet pattern. I loved all the gingerbread ornaments that I was tagged in, I always enjoy seeing your creations using my patterns!

The Curly Girl Method ♥ My Journey + Products I Use + Routine
2020 was finally the year I decided to inform myself about the Curly Girl Method. My curly hair was never something I really cared much about, I love my curly hair but I always thought the less product the healthier your hair but I was very very wrong! As I learn more about the CGM I will share what I learn with you all. You can expect more CGM posts this year. In fact, I recently posted a CGM haul, go check out some of the latest additions to my hair routine.

What blog posts do you want to see more this year?

    Your Animal Crossing posts are among the cutest I've seen! Especially that journal setup. I, too, kept an Animal Crossing journal in 2020 and although I've fallen off a bit with it this January, I'm so glad I kept one pretty consistently because it's a such a gem to look back on. Thanks for sharing your favorites!

    Thank you! I really enjoy blogging about Animal Crossing. I should probably make an updated post because my island has changed soooo much since the last time I posted an AC themed post. haha ♥

✨🪸🧜🏻‍♀️ It’s the final day of t ✨🪸🧜🏻‍♀️ It’s the final day of the mermaid readathon! Thank you so much for hosting this readathon @thebrightsidegirl! I had so much fun reading these mermaid/island/ocean/underwater books! I also enjoyed making these mermaid themed flat lays for the photo challenges and can’t wait until next year! Swipe to see all the books I read and the mermaid treasures I collected! 🧜🏻‍♀️🪸✨

📖 Day 14: Fave mermaid read
Technically, my favorite read wasn’t a mermaid book but an island book 😆 Beauty Queens by Libba Bray was my favorite read during this readathon! It’s about a group of pageant girls who get stranded on a mysterious island. I listened to the audiobook and was blown away! The author narrates the entire book and does different voices for each of the characters in the book, and there are a lot of characters! Highly recommend the audiobook! I’m not a fan of the cover though, it looks like a smutty book 😂🙈 Have you read Beauty Queens? 👸🏻

Stay tuned for a mermaid readathon recap blog post which I’ll be posting on my website later this week! If you participated in this readathon, what was your favorite read?🧜🏻‍♀️

🦀 Day 12: Ocean creature
How cute is this cookie! I was gifted this crab sugar cookie on my birthday because I’m a Cancer 😆 but I thought it would be perfect for today’s photo challenge!

I just started the second book in the Emily Windsnap series, Emily Windsnap and the Monster from the Deep. I’m assuming based on the title, there will be some sort of ocean creature involved, we will see! 🧜🏻‍♀️

🧜🏻‍♀️ Day 11: Mermaid in the title
Last year, I wanted to read The Mermaid from Jeju by Sumi Hahn but didn’t get the chance to. So, this year one of my goals during this mermaid readathon is to finish this book! Have any of you read this novel?

🧜🏼‍♂️ Day 9: Merman
I didn’t think I was going to have a picture for this one but when I opened the book “Mermaids, Sirens and Selkies: Myths and Legends“ by Jean Menzies I was surprised to see that the first story was about a merman! 😂
