Mommy bloggers made this blogging thing legit. They showed brands that bloggers have influence and should be not only be paid attention to, but be paid dollars and cents (dollars only please). However, not all of us bloggers are mommy bloggers and sometimes it feels like there is no room for us.
I often see sponsorship opportunities that only want mommy bloggers. I will see Facebook posts on all varieties of topics but the call to action specifically asks for responses from moms. Sometimes I feel like what about me???
So in the spirit of answering the question what about me today I am shouting out my absolute favorite non-mommy bloggers. In no particular order, here goes:
Ispaci - This blog makes me think differently about my home. Does it really reflect my personality? Are the things I love on display?. The answer to both of those questions is no. But It will improve thanks to the tips and inspiration I get from Ispaci.
Your Chic is Showing - This is my go to blog when I want to read about style. Whether it's fashion, makeup, or hair there it is covered by the YCS team.
A Girl Named Michael - I don't know exactly what it is I like about this blog so it must be everything. I always feel good reading the posts and very rarely do I finish one of her posts without a laugh. I love when she shares interesting stories about how couples met. Her story is pretty interesting and unconventional too.
Me Myself and Em - This blog is fairly new but I already feel that I can really relate to it. The author writes about her goals, figuring out what she wants in life and her dating experiences. All things I am also focused on.
Positively Shining - The name of this blog is very fitting. It offers a nice positive outlook on life related to the author's experiences. Some of the topics are similar to and mesh well with Chasing Joy.
Inspire to Thrive - I love this blog. Funny thing is it manages to make me feel smart and clueless all at the same time. This blog is all about the technical stuff that I'd rather not be bothered with. She covers everything from the latests google algorithm for adding social media buttons. I'm always confused through part of her posts. But then I always learn something too.
Fitnessbuster - This blog is a great source for practical health and fitness advice. Her posts are inspiring and make you feel like the changes you need to make are doable.
I know that I am not alone being a non-mommy blogger in this blog world. This post is a personal reminder that there are some awesome non-mommy blogs out there and to give them some props. Soon I'll shine a light on my favorite mommy blogs and give them some love too.
Do you consider yourself a mommy blogger or a non-mommy blogger? Who are some of your favorite non-mommy bloggers?
