Simplify Your Life

It's Monday so its time for my weekly blog review (I just decided last night that I was gonna do my reviews on Mondays) I take a little time every week to look at other minimalist blogs to see if I find them useful or inspiring to my own journey. This is very much a personal review for myself and I believe that everyone who writes a blog is very inspiring in just getting their thoughts out there.

This weeks blog I really enjoyed looking over and it is going to become one of the blogs I think I will follow most often. Its called Simplify Your Life (http://simplifyyourlife.tumblr.com/). Its written by a guy named Danny who is in his thirties. He has been on his simple living journey for two years now and I really enjoy the way he has set up his blog. Here is what I like

• His info is right there on there in front of you so its known right away who is writting the blog which gives you that personal connection that I seem to crave when I read blogs
• He is a very up to date blog writer. He seems to post daily
• He gives you great ideas of further info for you to look up or other blogs to look into
• Its a clean and simple blog
• There are only four options on his side bar and its gives you everything you want in a blog

So all in all I really enjoy this blog and it is going onto my blog roll as soon as this post is published!

The Minimalist List

I have decided to spend every evening this week going through one new blog that is based obviously on simple living. So I really love the concept of the blog I looked at tonight. Its called The Minimal List (http://www.theminimallist.com/) and its the coolest thing. Every post title is a single word and then the post goes into detail on why that word was chosen... Here is what else I like about it

• The format is super simple and you can either look up her posts by the month or by the category you are wanting to look into
• The posts are not super long but still long enough to make you feel like you understand where she is coming from
• There is not a lot of searching that needs to be done and I am realizing that to me that's a major plus in me wanting to follow a blog or not...

So yeah all in all tonights blog find was fun and I think it will be added to my blog roll. On a side note, I wasn't able to do a review every night this week so instead I think I am just gonna make it a once a week thing until I run out of bogs to look up...

Everyday Simplocity

I have decided to spend every evening this week going through one new blog that is based obviously on simple living. The blog I am reviewing tonight is by Reba Kennedy and is called Everyday Simplicity ( http://everydaysimplicity.blogspot.com/ ). I have decided that I am a fan of this blog and there are multipule reasons why this is the case

1. Her bio is right on the side bar to read the second you click onto her blog site. This makes me feel a connection to her right away because it is there for all to read. No searching necessary
2. She has an index of her blog posts so you can find whatever topic you are looking for easily
3. She has broken up the blogs she follows into categories so once again easy to find what you want.

Reba has been writing this blog since 2006 and you can tell that it means a lot to her in the time and effort she puts into her blog. I am very impressed with the layout with Reba's design in her blog and that alone makes me want to follow her. The other good thing is that she also has great information on her blog as well!

Elegant Simplicity & Success

I have decided to spend every evening this week going through one new blog that is based obviously on simple living. The Elegant Simplicity & Success blog http://www.simplicityandsuccess.com This blog has a few neat articles links to follow through on but honestly I am afraid other then that this is just not for me. I am finding that I tend to like blogs that I feel like I can learn about the person. I assume this blog is written by a women but there is no bio so to be honest I am not 100% sure.

I do however find the photos she has on her posts to bring fourth calming feelings and I can always appreciate that... I do not find searching over other peoples blogs to be a waste of time. I think that because everyone is so different that not every blog is going to attract the attention of every person. So with that said I still am glad to have stumbled across this blog and will look back on it once to make sure I found all the article links I wanted to read about. Evening Well Spent!

Becoming Minimalist

I have decided to spend every evening this week going through one new blog that is based obviously on simple living. This blog is about Joshua Becker and I think it tends to be a pretty popular blog for most simple living alumni. It has a very simple look to it which I think tends to be very appealing. He has also written two books which you can find on his blog as well. You can view it at http://www.becomingminimalist.com. There are plus and minuses to this blog for me.

• His profile has links to his most popular posts which I find helpful (Plus)
• The blog itself is a little hard to jump from place to place when you first come across it (Minus)
• He does have an easy to find archive section so you can find what you want to look up (Plus)
• You have to do a lot of clicking from one page to get to another to get to where you want to go (Minus)

All in all I think I will keep this blog as a resource to read through but once I get the info I want from it I do not believe I will be a follower.

Simple.Organized.Life

I have decided to spend every evening this week going through one new blog that is based obviously on simple living. Tonight I am scanning through Simple. Organized. Life. (http://simpleorganizedlife.com/) So far all I can come up with about the person who writes this blog is that his name is David. But here are the things I love about his blog

1. He has book recommendations that all have no gone onto my amazon wish list
2. He started a challenge for himself called 10 Things. David lets go of ten things a week and then does a simple post about them. I will be borrowing this idea for my own simple living journey and starting my own 10 Things Challenge starting tomorrow!
3. The blogs he follows himself are so worth checking out
4. His blog is easy to read

David seems to have been writing this blog since 2009 and he seems like he does a few posts a month. So if you are looking for someone to follow every week this might not be the right blog for you. But he is very inspiring blog to me with great ideas on how you may want to do your own blog.
