Blogs and Websites to Check Out

It is about time I get back to blogging. And what better way than to list some of the blogs and websites I have been enjoying during my blogging absence. Check these out!

Apartment Therapy: I recently stumbled across this name while reading an article. It has quickly become my most visited website. Don't let the name fool you though; it isn't just home ideas for apartment dwellers. This site has a blog appearance and contains a variety of house/studio/apartment tours from people all over the United States, how-to projects, simple living tips, questions posed by readers (with answers too), and much, much more.

Pinterest: This is a virtual bulletin board that is shared with other users. You can create different boards to organize your photos into any categories you desire. You can follow boards. 'Like' pins, and repin from boards of other users. Not only has this aided me in brainstorming some ideas for my upcoming wedding, it has also given me the opportunity to see ideas of others, from workout tips, to recipes, to fashion, to do-it-yourself crafts, to honestly, anything someone thinks is cool.

Cleveland Foodie: Obviously for Clevelanders (or those visiting). I have been following this blog for a while and when I need to find a new place to eat, want to see some thoughts on restaurants I have been to, or want to see what is happening with chefs in the area, I consult the fantastic Cleveland Foodie.

The Happiness Project: I have mentioned this blog by Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project, before in my review of the book from the summer.  I am still following the blog and attempting to lead a lifestyle of positivity (although it is difficult at times). When I am feeling pissed off, I visit Gretchen's blog to find some jubilation inspiration and it always, always turns my frown upside-down.

Happy reading!
