Gossip. News. Viral
videos. Weird and funny pictures. The internet is replete with all
kinds of websites, some of which aren't exactly savory. How can you
wade through all the trash and find some quality websites that are
geared specifically towards women? There are magazines and TV
networks, but many of those focus on one particular
demographic-teenagers, model types, etc. Where can you find websites
that have 'something for everyone'? While I haven't been over the
entire internet (is that even possible??), here are
some of my favorite women's websites.
With its witty tone,
Skirt! Is very entertaining while still giving you information you
can use. One of my favorite things is the Daily Muse, a feature that
showcases whimsical and fun things the editors find. On the serious
tip, there's Tiny Buddha
with advice gathered from all over the Web. For the practical,
there's a soup bowl with a cracker holder on the side
(http://skirt.com/daily_muse/side-soup)
and Twine With Scissors
for those of us who have a problem with losing our scissors. For the
fun, there is live music courtesy of 2CELLOS
2CELLOS
and the
BlaBlaMeter to help decode those old emails from your ex..
That last one has a bit of bad language in it, but it's still an
interesting tool!
Another website that is
created especially for women is Prayables.com. Like its name
suggests, this site features prayers contributed by users as well as
the site's editors. What it doesn't do, however, is push a
specific religious orientation-in fact, it is very careful not
to do that. Any and all content posted on the site is tailored to fit
any type of spirituality, or just for a 'thought for the day'. You
can get a daily email with a 'Prayable' and some commentary, or you can
go to the website and pick one out for almost any need. There are
also articles, blogs and even a place to submit your own work for
consideration. It's a very interesting site, even if you aren't a
spiritual person.
Finally, no post about
great websites for women would be complete without a plug for one of
our 'sponsor' sites. Womensforum.com has content that is geared
toward women from every walk of life. Some of the articles are
instructional, such as recipes and beauty tips. Others are fun, such
as the latest celebrity gossip. Still others give pointers in how to
deal with difficult life situations, such as being laid off or
dealing with a divorce. In addition to articles, there are several
instructional videos and blogs to pique your interest. Whatever your
need, Womensforum is sure to have an article or video that can help
you out or give you a little 'lift'. The page's heading says, 'The
Place For Moms', but those of us without kids are welcome too!
These are but a few of
the many awesome internet sites that cater to women. I like these
because they are fun and interesting, use lots of humor and can
easily lift your spirits. I don't know about you but, to me, these
things are more than welcome!
