To tie in with this month’s theme. ‘The Great nzgirl Detox’, we’ve come up with a list of our fav advice blogs and sites for you to visit. From your body to your relationships, your fashion to your finances, the internet offers everyone a little piece of advice on everything! Fashion

Although not a local site, The Budget Fashionista has a huge archive of style advice articles. From its shopping guides to entertaining ‘yea or nay’ polls, this site is brimming with tips and tricks. Also, with ‘budget’ being a key word, there are plenty of financial management suggestions for all you impulse buyers out there! For a more blog-orientated experience visit www.iamfashion.blogspot.com. This blogger is funny, well written and backs up her entries with good visuals of the clothes or shoes she is talking about. Finance

I know, I know – who wants to read about finance? However unless you were lucky enough to be born into endless wealth then I’m sure you’ve come across the burdens of financial hardship at some stage, or at least will do eventually. Sorted is a well-respected financial planning site (you may have seen the ads on TV) that has all the budgeting tips you could possibly require! So if you’re looking to pay off that student loan or save for a big trip around the world head to sorted.org.nz. Don’t knock it before you’ve tried it, after all money is what makes the world go round! Health and Lifestyle As the old saying goes ‘your body is your temple.’ Although we live, breathe and use our bodies every day, we still have a lot to learn about looking after ourselves. From weight loss to nutrition, sex and relationships, anti-ageing and meal plans, these two sites have plenty of resourceful articles about keeping and staying healthy. Relationships

Bitter Single Guy and FreeLoveMDThere are plenty of relationship advice sites and blogs out there – the hard part is sifting through them all to get to the good ones. If you are after some general Q&A sites, then www.bittersingleguy.com and www.freelovemd.com are probably your best bets. They answer all sorts of dilemmas, so these sites double up as entertainment in some cases too. If you are looking for more comprehensive articles then sites like www.planjam.com or www.love-sessions.com are worth a visit. Some of these articles are a little cliché so make sure you keep an open mind – as we all know relationships very rarely follow the text book! Mars VenusIf you are after an expert opinion then head along to www.marsvenus.com – the official website of Dr John Gray (author of the popular book Men are from Mars, women are from Venus). Family and Parenting
This site has plenty of insightful and sensitive articles about family relationships. They cover mental illnesses, divorce, parenting and much more. Some of the content is unavoidably serious but without a doubt informative and useful. As you can see, advice on the internet is abundant. Get out there and enjoy it. You may not agree with it all, but hey – it’s free! Jess O’Connor
