Website Discoveries

I love looking on the internet and finding new websites. Here are some of my recent website/blog discoveries:

LearnVest - I read about this website while reading Cosmopolitan magazine. It gives tips for saving and earning more money. I'm doing all their bootcamps which are free lessons that last about 10 days for different money topics such as getting out of debt, cutting your costs and having a baby. The website also has a good feature for budgeting yur money and seeing where your money is going.

And Then We Saved - This is another money focused website. Instead of budgeting money, this blog has a technique called the "spending fast". You make a list of purchases that are "needs" (like housing and food) and another list of items that are "wants" (like clothes and movies). You only spend money in the "needs" list until you get out of debt. The person that started the blog did the spending fast for a year. The blog also offers crafty tips on way to save money.

Hukkster - Hukster is a bookmarking tool focused mostly on fashion. If you see an item you like at a clothing store online, you can "hukk" it and it will save it to your Hukkster wishlist. Hukkster notifies you when items go on sale. You can also seperate your list in to different topics such as dresses, shoes and accessories. It's kind of like Pinterest for clothes.

ZenHabits - ZenHabits is a blog focused on getting unnesscary things out of your life and being more zen. The blog offers basic, practical tips you can use to get rid of clutter from your life and focus more on what's important.

Meditation Timer - One of my goals this year is to try to meditate more. Meditation timers such as this one make it easier. You set a certain time to meditate such as 10 minutes. It's kind of like an alarm clock for meditation, but the alarm sound is soothing so it gently wakes you out of meditation.

What websites have you discovered lately?
