Top 20 of 2020 on Kim Half Kept

Welp, that was a YEAR. This little community of has grown so much and has become such a big part of my life. I’m so thankful to have you all here and I’ve loved learning and laughing with you all this year. It was a such a wonderful outlet in one of the most strange and surreal years in history. I loved going back to see what the most popular purchases were of 2020. It tells such a great story and is so reflective of what I hoped this account would be- which is a little bit ALL OVER THE PLACE, like life. A little kitchen, a little organization, a little fashion with a smidge of kids and a dash of beauty (and complete CHAOS in between). HERE WE GO:

20. Arden Day Tote- This tote made the list and as luck would have it, it’s marked down 40% OFF today for $37. Starting off with a win here.

19. Contigo Straw Cup- the best and only kid straw cup allowed in our house. It doesn’t leak. For real. And it is easy to clean. This makes this a gold star certified MOM rating. I just made that up, but try these and you’ll be sold. $9 each.

18. Leopard Mules- These classic slip on leopard mules are oddly neutral and garner lots of questions on the streets. Okay, fine. Three people gave me compliments. TARGET for the win. $25

17. Silicon baking mats- Two points in the green category. No foil. Not cooking oil. These are easy to use and clean. I’m pretty lazy, so trust me.

16. Board game bags- I wrote a blog post about a board game storage solution that was a space saving game changer for our family. PUN intended. Click here to read about it.

15. White Blouse- Classic white blouse with a little boho. You know it was hit when Target brought it back in stock after a several month hiatus. On sale for $21 today.

14. Women’s Tank- The best $8 tank. I have three colors and I think you all might too. It’s high neck, it’s flattering (long) and the material feels real nice. SIZE UP ONE SIZE. I buy medium in these (I’m normally a small).

13. Barefoot Dreams blanket. Not a shocker here. It was the year of COZY. Thankfully, there were many sales, like right now! They really are worth the spend and make great gifts. Also comes in various leopard prints.

12. Amazon Sweater $35. Not all Amazon fashion is created equal. This one is a for-sure WIN. It’s long, it’s soft and has major Free People vibes for the a fraction of the price. LOVE. I wear mine a TON.

11. Detergent stand. You didn’t know you needed it, until you did. No more lifting, dragging or tilting the detergent tub. This is so civilized. $17

10. Quilted Pullover- This was POPULAR. It looks like Athleta or Alo but only costs $35. Hard part is deciding which color to get.

9. Vuori Joggers- My favorite joggers came out in a long option this year which shoould have made headline news for this tall chick. You put these joggers on and think, “ohhhhh, I get it now”. And you won’t take them off. The end. $84.

8. Humidifier- Our first back-to-back winner from 2019. I get it. We have two of them because winter is long and I have many children who often get sick in a herd like manner. This one is large capacity- no need to refill for several nights. It has a large opening for easy cleaning. It’s quiet. It comes with an essential oil tray. It works in both large and small rooms. $51. An honorable mention to these drop in tank cleaners for $5.

7. Amazon leggings. I’m sneaking two in here because they were both SO popular and such a great price. I own multiple pairs in both leggings. BOTH are legit high waisted which is the only way I go these days. One pair is full length and the other is 7/8 length. Cause duh. Both under $30

6. Amazon Sheets- Another repeat from last year. These sheets feel so amazing for $35. That’s any size. We have many sets in our house. Actually, every bed.

5. J. Crew Camel Sweater. I’m not a capsule wardrobe gal, but if I were, this would be one of them. Work, casual, day, night- it does it all. It’s a classic piece. On sale 30% OFF right now.

4. Steam Mop. This $89 mop has been cleaning staple this year. The year of disinfecting. We use on our hardwood, tile, stone floors. You can clean and disinfect your floors with water only- no chemicals from cleaning solutions. IT WORKS so well. I’m so glad you agree.

3. Water bottle racks. These were on last year’s list and I won’t be surprised if they make the list again next year. They make so much sense for an upper cabinet. You can see and access your insulated coffee mugs and water bottles. No more “jump and pray you grab the right one”. They also make some for wine in or out of your fridge.

2. Neck/back massager. This is literally the gift that keeps on giving. And it’s $35. We bought one for our house and several as gifts. Apparently you did too!

1. The holy grail of skincare took the number one spot this year. By a landslide. I’m not surprised. CE Ferulic Vitamin C is an investment in your skin. It’s medical grade. It’s been proven. At age 41, I don’t have time to mess around. Skincare status: CRITICAL.
