Bootylicious Bloggers

With the great responses from our post in October titled Bust Out Bloggers I have decided to create a list of my top 3 favourite female blog sites in no particular order.  As I was surfing through all of your great suggestions and recommendations of Female Personal Finance Blogs I noticed a few very interesting facts.

I didn’t find any Female Personal Finance Blogs that were pink or draped in bright colours. I wasn’t expecting to discover Candy Land; but I definitely thought that I would encounter some bright bubble gum and baby pink websites.  I know that in general finance can be dry and boring.  I was impressed with the subtle use of colour splashes in the Female Personal Finance Blog layouts.

The girl power was very present. I found the community of Female Personal Finance Blogs to be like any other members only club.  Female Finance Bloggers recommend and often post comments on other Female Finance Blogs.  I thought that this was amazing.  They definitely show each other some love.

Female Personal Finance Blogs are more personal than some other blogs I have read. The daily posts are based on personal experiences instead of random information and financial facts. Also every Female Personal Finance Blogger posted their personal information such as name, locations, and relationship status.  This is great because it makes the blog more relatable to readers through a personal connection. Although, I have to admit that there is something mysteriously intriguing about the anonymous blogger.

My 3 Favourite Female Personal Finance Blogs are listed in no particular order:

Fabulously Broke is “Just a Girl Trying to Find a Balance Between Being a Shopaholic and a Save.  She discusses paying off debts and saving money based on her personal experiences, she is also a firm believer in budget tracking tools.  She does offer advertising opportunities on her website only because she likes money…not because she needs it.

Brooklyn Bitches on a Budget This is my all time favourite female personal finance blog layout.  These bitches just acquired another reader. The posts are not too long, and this is very important to me because I want to get the information without it dragging on for a thousand words.  These posts are just juicy enough to keep me reading, but not too long that I get bored. Brooklyn Bitches on a Budget is not only about Personal Finance; it’s about everything related to money including cheap recipes and Do It Yourself tips to save cash.

The Girl With The Red Balloon is the daily financial experiences of a young married student who shares her love and expenses with her husband…Mr. Red.  This blog is definitely personal and reads like a “Dear Diary” entry.  We can follow her through the ups and downs of inexpensive student living (including her NO SPEND DAYS) while she struggles to make her dreams come true.

I would like to give an Honorable Mention to SavvySugar. This website has a fun and colourful design that is professional and stands out just enough to grab our attention. I chose this as an honourable mention because Savvy Sugar is not actually a Female Personal Finance Blog like the others.  It is a general women’s site that also has a money section.  It talks about things that are important to women that may not be important to men such as “How to Buy $400 Shoes Without Feeling Guilty”
