2024 Reader Favorites
It’s that time again! At the end of every year, I like to take a second to look back and chat about the things that excited y’all the most. Typically, we just take a look back at the top products of the year, but this year, I thought we’d also talk about the top blog posts! So, settle in, grab a drink, and get ready to see the most popular posts, projects, and products of 2024!
The Top 15 Products of 2024
We’ll work backwards, from the 15th most popular product to the most-sold item of the entire year (it might surprise you!). I’ve also grouped a couple of things together, so it’s really more like the top 20-ish products of the year. You’re welcome.
15. These Breathable Socks
I discovered these socks when I was prepping for a trip to Disney World at the end of May and wanted something that would keep my feet cool. I immediately fell in LOVE and can’t rave about them enough. My feet stayed cool even in the hottest. Texas temps, and they’re pretty cute too.
14. Vanicream Face Wash
I love that I’ve been able to turn so many of you on to this incredible under-$10 face wash. It has truly changed my skin and I will never ever go back to anything else.
13. This Setting Powder
I found this powder over the summer when I was looking for a lightweight alternative to foundation on days when I’m not feeling like a full face of makeup. It was a game-changer for me and now I wear it probably 80% of days.
12. The Famous Chore Chart
I use this chore chart all summer long as a pre-screen-time-checklist for the kids, and during the school year we use it to keep up with weekend chores! We love it, and it’s been such a handy little tool. I’ve loved seeing so many of you use it, too!
11. Bissell Spinwave
I’ve had this mop for five years now and I still love it just as much as I did on the day I got it. I feel like that’s really all I need to say, right?!
10. Clorox Toilet Tablets
This is one of the few cleaning products I have used Subscribe & Save for, because I love them so much! They keep the toilets looking clean and fresh without any effort on your part at all. Warning, though, they do turn your water blue!
9. My New Pool Bag
I decided to splurge on a nice pool bag this summer (though, it’s still a knock off of the real thing) and I am SO GLAD I DID. This pool bag is incredible. The accessories (like this divider, these hooks and these bags) actually were more popular than the bag itself, but it’s worth grouping them together here!
8. Tub & Tile Refinishing Kit
This comes from a project I did at our last house, and it’s still popular enough that this product made the top 10! Color me impressed! If you’ve got a dated, ugly tub or shower, this is going to be your new best friend, promise.
7. Caldrea Countertop Spray
I’m so happy to see that so many of you decided this stuff was worth the splurge. It’s expensive for a countertop spray but the incredible scent makes it worth every penny. I actually look forward to cleaning my counters after dinner!
6. These Screw Hooks
I was surprised to see these on the list as they aren’t something I’ve talked about a ton this year, but apparently this post about hanging outdoor lights really resonated with a lot of people!
5. Stuffed Animal Hammock
Ahhh the stuffed animal hammock! I resisted one of these for years but I finally gave in because it was the only way I knew how to control the chaos of stuffed animals in Jackson’s room. I’m so glad I did because he LOVES it, and it holds an astonishing amount of stuffies!
4. Watco Crystal Clear Lacquer
I had to do a little bit of digging to figure out why this product was so popular, but I realized it was from this post about how to seal painted cabinets! Mine have held up great since I used this, and I think I’m getting ready to do it again in our bathroom!
3. Two-Tier Organizer
This is my FAVORITE organization system I own. Seriously – I have 7 of them in my house…and probably could use another. I use them mostly in our bathroom and linen closet (to store toiletries and medication) and they’re so SO great.
2. Puzzle Saver
Right next to this one in order were also this Mod Podge Puzzle Glue, along with my favorite puzzle frame. So, it’s clear we framed a lot of puzzles in 2024!
1. Paintable Outlet Covers
And finally, the top product of the year surprises me zero percent because it was the top product sold every single week when I went to check for my weekly roundup on Instagram. I use these all over my house – they’re so great for a room that’s painted in a more saturated color when you need the outlet to just blend in!

As we fly towards the end of another year, I just find myself feeling so incredibly grateful. It’s because of you and your support that I’m able to do this thing full-time. I can’t even begin to tell you how incredibly lucky I feel to be able to do something I love so much and call it a job. I wouldn’t be able to do that if you didn’t keep coming back, sharing my projects, and purchasing from my links. I’m so grateful for this sweet community we created, and I can’t wait to do even more awesome things with you in 2025!
