ExSloth turns 2 + Top Recipes & Wellness Advice of 2014

16 January, 2015 by Giselle Rochford 19 Comments

Hey Friends! How’s it goin?

So, if you happened to miss it in the title, Diary of an ExSloth turns two today! It’s kinda crazy to think that I’ve been blogging for a whole two years already. Granted I’ve taken a couple extended breaks here and there but I’ve called this space mine for two years and that.is.mind.blowing.

When I think back to my first cringe-worthy post in 2013 I’m amazed that anyone reads my blog at how far ExSloth has come. Although I’ve joked about some of the less serious ways blogging has changed my life before, I’m not kidding when I say that the last 2 years have been insane, in a really, really awesome way. And I honestly hope the next two years are just as wild.

But, enough with the feels. Since my blogiversary is so close to the new year, I held off on doing the usual year end type post last year so I could do a roundup of your favourite posts on ExSloth for the last 12 months. Enjoy!

More Favourite Things:

You guys loved ALL the recipe roundups I started doing towards the end of the year, so instead of including them here, and making this post even longer I gave them their own page. You can check them out here.

There’ll be some more changes coming to the blog soon but since they’re still in the works, I’m keeping it on the d.l. for a little longer. Just note, that I’m too excited for words about the next month.

Oh, and next week, I’ve got TWO giveaways for ya as a thank you for being so freaking awesome over the last two years, so remember to stop by πŸ˜€

What about you?

If you’re a blogger, how long have you been blogging? What’s your favourite post you’ve ever written? If you’re not a blogger, what’s the best post/article/thing you read all year?
