What's your favorite blog and why?

I tend to read a lot of writing, finance, and business blogs, but I also admittedly read a few local parenting blogs, too. My favourite is one called Mudpie Fridays, which provides ideas and inspiration for children under 5 (relevant to the age group of my own) and provides guides on helpful topics surrounding family like such as holidays or gift giving. I think it's an effective blog in that it helps inspire purchases and ideas for family life. It must be a financial asset to the owner, as they often publish sponsored posts which I'm not alone in making purposes as a result of.

I love Happiful Magazine blogs - they're about positive mental health and well-being. I often take action because they're full of tips and hacks for self-imporvement.

I mostly like to read about health and wellness. To be very specific, I love haircare blogs. I can't remember the exact name but it was of an Indian woman who managed to reverse her greying process. I truly love her content.

I like Neil Patel's blog. The articles are kind of long, but there's a lot of good stuff about marketing and SEO.

I love a blog called YourStory.com which shares insightful personalized stories of people who bring change to society, business and elsewhere. I like it because it helps me to know different personalities and what they do. 

It helped me start up with my own blog which helps creating mental health awareness in India.

My fav blog is by a German lady in her 20's named Elea. Eleas blogs helped me make a decision about if studying abroad in Germany is what I actually wanted.

I love Who Gives a **bleep**'s Blog . They're all about sustainable toilet paper company and the blog is a nice mix of humor and what social initiatives they are working on. I think it's a great tool to increase customer loyalty.

They don't collect email subscribers. Huh. I guess a blog doesn't have to, but I was going to follow them.

Hi April, I had a look at that blog and I see what you mean. I mean, it's bright and feels enthusiastic. I think it's the best tip I got through reading through the entries here on the hubspot 'what's your favorite blog' stream. The writing's nice and easy-going withough working too hard at being nice and easy-going.

Technically not a blog, but it has immense information for a coffee aficionado! I can feel it with atleast 3 senses while I read their content 😅
