The first blog that we’re going to be taking a closer look at is Mr Money Mustache.
This is a highly relatable and insightful blog, created by an author who uses his wit to make complicated topics easier to understand.
The author first began his blogging journey when he decided that it was time to share his frugal practices surrounding money.
Mr Money Mustache’s skills allowed him the opportunity to retire early, and he wanted to show others how they could do so too.
This blog covers a wealth of finance related topics, all of which are incredibly relevant and insightful, and despite sometimes being slightly complicated, the author manages to break everything down into easy, digestible chunks.
We love the humor that drives each of Mr Money Mustache’s articles, and although he sometimes exhibits guest authors, most of them are written by the creator, and this really shines through via the content.
This blog is living proof of how you can take an incredibly simple and straightforward idea, and turn it into something huge.
This blog began when its creator decided that he wanted to start a new photographic project.
Being native to New York, Brendan Stanton was always fascinated by the faces he saw in the city, and wanted to capture them and give their backstory.

Within Brendan’s blog, we find dozens and dozens of captivating and heartwarming stories.
We hear of regular people, and the heroic acts they’ve conducted in their lives.
This is a truly inspirational blog, and has even seen the release of two books, both of which show Brendan’s photography in its full glory, and exhibit some of the blog’s favorite stories.

Cookie became an internet sensation, and readers were drawn in by the images on the blog.
But, Kate’s recipes, of which there are hundreds, ensured that her audiences remained glued to the blog because of her consistent posting schedule, and easy and delicious recipes.
