The vibrant online world of blogs, where bloggers use a simple publishing tool to connect with people of like-minded interests by publishing their thoughts or diaries is an exciting space where so many topics are discussed.
People write about what they think, feel and know, whether that be personal confessions, pop culture celebrity gossip and anything in between. There are so many Australian blogs out there that are written by women so we thought easy2digest should take a look at a few of our favourite blogs that stood out for one reason or another.

Do you blog?
If you’re an Australian woman with your own blog, please be sure to tell us about it in the comments and share your link. Or if you’re thinking about starting your own, Australian research released last year found that blogging can help you feel less isolated, more connected to a community and more satisfied with your friendships, so it’s a great hobby to have!

Hi!
I am an Australian woman with a blog called Cocina de Mama
Traditional recipes sprinkled with stories of the past… not only sharing special family recipes – but also the memories and stories that come with them.
InTolerantChef
Hi, I have just started a blog about cooking for the InTolerant. I believe food should not be about what you can’t eat, but what you can, and enjoy eating. I always use Zymil milk at home because it tastes great.
