Starting a Female Lifestyle Website? These 10 Will Inspire You
If you’re looking for inspiration to start a female lifestyle website or blog, you’ve come to the right place. No blog could hold every woman-run website and blog for reference, but the list below gives a terrific overview of any topic you’re looking to dive into.
For the Mom
Married moms, single moms, working moms, stay-at-home moms, LGBTQ+ moms, pregnant women, women who are trying to conceive, and the list goes on.
1. The Mom Edit
Founded by Shana, and backed by a team of female editorial staff, ranging in size, ethnicity, and style, The Mom Edit focuses on style and fashion for moms of all ages, shapes, and sizes. They give mothers and women who are not mothers, of all ages and backgrounds a place to find answers to their questions. Blogs on lifestyle, mom tips, and even fashion style and sale guides are what you can expect to find on their site which is based in Philadelphia but has contributors from all over the country.
2. Scary Mommy
Blogs featuring the journey of trying to conceive, pregnancy itself, baby tips, teen tips, and all the years in between can be found on Scary Mommy. They don’t just stop at the immediate focus of motherhood. They lean into relationships and family, lifestyle, and fashion. There is a little bit of everything for moms no matter what stage of life you are in. One of the things they harp on is the fact that no mom is ever simply “just a mom”, as there is so much more to her story than simply being a mom.
For the Traveler
Traveling, especially as a woman, can be liberating but also terrifying. Having a blog to reference and gain information and expertise from can be a great tool for your adventures.

5. Salty World

6. The Financial Diet
The Financial Diet focuses on bringing the topic of money to the table without it bringing down the mood.

For the Foodie
