My Top 10 ‘Me Time’ Websites!

Comments (7) Sponsored Post

Having the internet is one thing,
but having the TIME to surf is now something precious to me!
I have just enough time to work and sleep, so surfing time is not high on the priority list for daily activities   :xwhatevah:

When i DO have time to surf nowadays, oh, how i cherish it!
I wriggle in my seat with one leg up (cos i’m a chinese uncle like that)
have a glazed look on my face,
and Clem knows that whatever he tells me won’t be heard (much).

We just stocked up on Dove chocolate at home,
so with my surfing time, comes SILKY SMOOTH chocolate-nibbling time.
(Oh and I digress: Dove chocolate now comes in 80g packs! And their dark chocolate now comes with 66% cacao. More cacao for the clickin :D)

It’s easy to use one hand to surf and the other to hold a bar of chocolate
as i click different links maniacally and soak in all the information and images  :xlaughing:

Before you read the list of my Top Sites i visit,
i have to add that this is my CURRENT list of my fave sites.
I’m also not adding the obvious like Time.com, NY Times, Guardian UK, Style.com and the like, which i surf regularly.
The problem(?) with me is once i like a blog, i usually end up reading all its archives till i OD on it, then shift my attention to something else, the former to be forgotten forever.
I used to read CrimeLibrary incessantly… and i barely visit it anymore.

So here we go! In no particular order:

WhoWhatWear

ablogsdove_4

Headed by Hilary Kerr and Katherine Power, WhoWhatWear has been a long-favourite fashion website of mine which has stayed on top of my surf list throughout the past 3 years.
And 3 years in internet time, is a long time!
It’s such easy surfing with lots of fashion pictures which are fashforward and fabulous.
Having a handful of fashion icon contributors don’t hurt either.

Atlantic Pacific

ablogsdove_1

Blair Eadie of Atlantic-Pacific has no fear of colour, texture or print,
with featured pieces i’d love to steal for my own wardrobe any time!
Am not surprised why she’s already been featured in media like MTV Style, Nylon Korea, etc.

Lust For Life

ablogsdove_2

Olivia of Lust ForLife is fashionably adventurous with pictures i haven’t got bored of looking at.
The pieces she owns makes me go ahhhhhhhhhh in envy
and there’s usually an item in every style shot of hers that makes me go I WANT THAT.


Tongue in Chic

ablogsdove_3

It may be bias to list this down since i founded it,
but i’m going to admit that i didn’t read it for awhile.
Their content has taken an upward turn of late,
bringing me back to clicking on it whenever i need some online distraction that doesn’t involve my credit card.


The Ramlan Sisters

ninimarini.tumblr.com + misdeeds.tumblr.com

I wish i had time for a tumblr; but handling this blog, office job and my social life takes up more than enough time!
So i appease myself by visiting other tumblrs.
Since a tumblr is kinda like half a blog, 2x tumblrs make 1 blog!
The two tumblrs i visit on a regular basis are by my favourite sisters   :xlaughing:

Nini posts a lot of inspiring images of art, nature, people and all things we need for our soul.
And Didi posts lots of amazing pictures she takes herself.
What i love about tumblrs is that i can end up on SO many other tumblrs from the one i initially started on.
Love tumblr surfing.

ListVerse

ablogsdove_8

I love reading facts that will never save my life,
and this website has the most random Top lists from
Top 10 Most Bizarre Modern Jobs, to 10 Greatest Killers of Man.
You can spend hours on this site and feel your brain whirring after.

Discover Magazine

ablogsdove_10

Free ‘Me Time’ is usually spent indulging in watching History Channel documentaries about the universe and aliens.
An online outlet for me to get some geek time in, is here.
Or sometimes Wired.com.
 

 

The Cool Hunter

ablogsdove_7

A website i’ve been visiting for a long time, it’s filled with inspiring pictures and little text for quick surfing on the latest in architecture, design, travel, fashion and a LOT more.
I’m pretty sure i’ve read EVERY SINGLE entry on the archives for architecture and design!

SoulPancake

ablogsdove_9

At times i just need some aimless surfing for interesting tidbits that i don’t mean to find.
The last two websites i’m linking here are great for exactly that.

The Awesomer

ablogsdove_6

I just thought of something that would make a great list…
My Favourite Shopping Sites  :xsilly:
*danger*danger!*

If you have some websites you think i’d like, please SHARE them with me!
Especially blogs! I haven’t found a blog that i’m addicted to currently…
Shareeeeeeeee
