Let’s Look Back: 2022 Year In Review
Happy New Year! Is it still ok to say that this late into the year? 2022 was something else so this 2022 year in review will be different. For this review, I’ll take a look at the blog post you guys loved this year, how you find my blog and what happened with the blogging frequency last year.
To start, in 2022 blog posts took an unforeseeable plunge and it left me with mixed feelings.
I love blogging and it’s never my intention to be gone longer than a week. But the personal life changes of last year have turned my blogging schedule on its head and it’s been a struggle ever since trying to recover and return to some sense of normalcy.
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t beat myself up about it. Despite not experiencing anyone openly complaining about the reduced frequency of posts on here I’m still pretty hard on myself. The truth is this blog is as much for me as it is for anyone else.
Simplycandinicole.com is a creative outlet for all the things I discover along life’s journey that I often wish I had known sooner. The categories of this blog are key pillars of my life experiences. I’m sure many of you have seen the increase in skincare and self-care content as I faced adult acne in my mid-twenties.
Besides taking a dump on my blog schedule, 2022 had some highlights:
- I made impressive moves at my new job
- Formed new professional relationships
- Stepped far outside of my comfort zone almost monthly by attending large-scale client events ( which I still hate; but I do them anyway)
- I moved closer to work in my dream neighbourhood
- Upgraded a few things
- Celebrated a milestone birthday (29 on the 29th)
- And most importantly lived to tell the tale
2022 had its pros and cons. But it’s truly been a journey of growth and change.

Top 3 referrers of 2022
Let’s talk a little about how you guys found my site. As usual, the top referrer was search engines, yay SEO!
