Beauty Blogs:
Beauty blogs have been popping up all over the web and serve as a free way to get awesome makeup and hair tips. Many of these beauty blogs have video tutorials to help explain some of the techniques used for hairstyles and makeup application.
The Beauty Department is a great beauty site run by Lauren Conrad, Kristen Ess and Amy Nadine. The site posts content ranging from everyday makeup and hair tips to Halloween and Holiday beauty tips. One of the coolest parts about this blog is that it now accepts articles from guest writers. Readers can send in their pieces and they may just end up on the site!
Music:
The internet has made music sharing and discovery easier than ever, and music blogs are no exception. Many online newspapers have blogs dedicated to new and upcoming bands and musicians. There are music blogs for all types of music ranging from hip-hop to indie to death metal, so there is definitely something to suit everyone.

Do-It-Yourself Blogs:
DIY blogs are great tools for finding cheap and simple crafts. Some focus more on making knick-knacks while others have tutorials on how to make unique clothing and jewelry items from things you would find around your house. These blogs are great for college students on a budget because many of the projects can be made for only a few dollars (and many of the ideas make great gifts for friends).
