Surfing the web has become an everyday experience for a lot of people, especially the millennial generation. The usual websites always seem to be visited-- Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc. But what about some websites that start to add depth to what we are looking at and to what we are reading? With the amount of time we all spend on our computers, we might as well take a few minutes and check out some websites and blogs that may fall outside of our usual internet roaming routine. Don't know where to start? Here's 10 of my favorites.
1) Something Savory
This girl is everything. She just graduated college not too long ago and now updates her site with simple and delicious food. You can find recipes for anything from corn dog bites to lemon parmesan crusted tilapia. Bonus is that her meals are cost conscious as well!

2) Nomadic Matt
If you have any questions about traveling at all, this is the site for you. Matt has traveled to over 80 countries and shares his adventures and tips. He believes that anyone and everyone should be able to travel the world if that's what they dream to do. He even posts guides on subjects such as "how to find a cheap flight" or "the ultimate guide to traveling when you have no money."

3) And Then We Saved
This woman is my financial hero. It all started when she made drastic changes to her lifestyle and was able to pay off almost $24,000 in debt within 15 months! This site is filled with resources to help anyone pay off ALL of their debt and to continue living their life completely debt free.

4) Know More
This site has little bit of everything. By clicking on an article, chart, map, or even a picture that sparks your interest, this website gives the option to then dive deeper. Each time you can choose to click to know more or no more.

5) Looking Fly On A Dime
This girl is my thrift-spiration!
The creator of this site, Patrice, is a ridiculously stylish young woman who refuses to ever pay retail price for anything. Here you will find savvy shopping tips, fashion advice and more. You can even follow Patrice's journey of only allowing herself to wear/buy thrift shop clothing for an entire year.

6) The Small Things
The creator, Kate, has made a completely charming website that focuses on hair, beauty, style, and even motherhood. Here this mother of two posts hair tutorials, makeup buying tips, outfit inspirations, and even her own reviews on beauty products.

7) Canvas of Light
Daniel Nahabedian posts photography how-to's and tutorials, as well as photographs that he has taken all over the world. The best part is that his photos are incredible. I can't stop scrolling through his Tanzania portfolio!

8) Almost Makes Perfect
This site is the first time I have not been completely intimidated by DIY projects. The creator, Molly, walks you through super simple, but incredible looking DIY projects such as metallic leather coasters or a modern pom pom pillow. Bonus is that she even has printables available like mother's day gift tags. Plus, if you like Molly's style, she even has a small shopping center showing some of her favorite things.

9) Chris and Melissa
This site has to do entirely with tiny homes and the couple's (Chris and Melissa) journey of living in one. My favorite part is looking under the "Inspiration" tab which shows 3D artist Melissa's designs for all sorts of tiny homes that she has dreamt up.

10) Trash Is For Tossers
Lauren Singer is an environmental inspiration and if you haven't heard of her, you will. She was able to fit two years of her trash in to a single mason jar. If that's not reason enough to visit her site, Lauren will inspire you to really think about how much you actually need in your life to be happy. She also posts zero waste alternatives and even where to buy them!
