Female Bloggers to Follow

5 bloggers you’ll want to follow this year if you’re committed to the power of womanity. What do we mean by this? We’re encouraging you to develop new connections with a wider community of women by crossing geographical and cultural borders to discover more about yourself as a woman and how to live life in a way that is true to who you really are.

Following a travel blog, especially one created for solo female travellers, allows you to keep your travel destination options more open than ever before.  This blog is aimed at women between the ages of 25 and 60 who find themselves without a travel partner. The blog will put any fears around solo travel to rest with its practical and anecdotal posts. The stories of self-discovery that happen on solo trips are just the inspiration needed to get you out of armchair traveller mode.

2018 was all about self-care and self-love - you’re too many organic body oils and face masks down the road to turn back now. 2019 is the real deal - this year is all about self-discovery and finding out what makes you tick; maybe even getting closer to recognising what your purpose on this green and blue sphere is all about. So, if you want to stay committed to who you truly are, to find out a bit more about this person in order to make choices that set you on a path you desire rather than feeling like life just happens to you, then follow this blog! Danielle Laporte also authored The Desire Map, a book we recommend for aspiring entrepreneurs too. 

Following other mothers on their pre and post birth journeys can be comforting and reassuring, especially for expecting or new moms who don’t have many friends with children in their social circles or who live away from their family support system. Reading honest stories written by other mothers can help women, whether first time moms or third rounders, through the times when they feel ashamed or guilty about their unpredictable feelings and behaviours as moms. Sometimes a bit of reassurance about what really happens behind the perfect Instagram moments helps us to reassess the expectations we women place on ourselves. This blog offers support from other moms not just on pregnancy and birth but also family life in South Africa, as well as a library of recipe ideas.

Follow this local beauty and lifestyle blog for up to date tips and guidelines about skincare for all conditions, makeup, product comparisons and recommendations. It’s always great to follow a local blog when it comes to product recommendations so you can actually follow through on desired purchases.

You want to be kind to the planet but you just love the face cream you use and it only comes in a plastic container - is recycling the container enough or could you find an alternative? Do you even have time to really worry about this? As an intellectual, independent woman you don’t want to ignore the issue. You’re also interested in the economic and social politics you often find yourself wrapped up in but don’t know enough about them to have an opinion. This blog will empower you to decide on the way in which you choose to show up in the world, rather than feeling like you’re just being taken along for the ride. It will inspire you to be eco-conscious in all areas of your life.

The easiest way to follow a blog is to sign up for it on the website so that you receive an email notification for new blog posts. These days, with so many social media avenues, bloggers usually only post once a week or once a month so that posts are really juicy and worth the read. This means your mailbox won’t look overwhelming and you’ll have enough time to actually read most posts.
