Blogging has become a real art. Emerging in the 90’s and becoming ever more prominent today, blogging is a great way to get one’s ideas, tips, experiences, advice, etc. on the Internet for everyone to read and become inspired by. While one may not think it’s hard to simply type and share your ideas on the Internet, to garner attention and have your blog read, it is. There is a certain art to blogging. It entails the right combination of words and photos or videos that really entice your audience. With so many blogs out there to read, it is hard to find the best blogs to follow. While “the best” is open to interpretation, here is a list of some of our favorite blogs covering everything from beauty, fashion, lifestyle, travel, and food:
