Well, OK, I may be exaggerating just a little, but it sure did make a huge impact on some of my life activities. For those of you who are still carefully cutting out interior decorating photos, menus, crafts and must-have outfits from an assortment of magazines or newspapers...there is something better, much, much better.
It is a website called Pinterest and I am seriously addicted to this website. You see, the premise of this website is to create an online pinboard of amazingly cool things from websites, online stores and Blogs. Things that I live for like fashion, shoes, craft projects and too much other cool stuff to mention. Oh and there's the inspirational quotes that seem to say exactly what I need to hear at just the right time. Amazing!I could get into the psychological reasons of why I think Pinterest is so addictive, but really it's about sharing. Sharing ideas and things that make life easier, more fun, more creative, more stylish, and more inspiring. In similar fashion to other social sites, you can "follow" friends and other Pinners, which makes the sharing more intimate. You create your own "Boards" that store your Pins, so it is easy to organize and store your favorite things.
Just some of the things I have gotten from Pinning in the last few weeks:
--Found my perfect Kenneth Cole belted winter coat
--Learned how to 'glitterize' a pair of patent pumps (stay tuned for future tutorial)
-- Finally mastered some crock pot recipes for the first time ever, including a mouth-watering jerk chicken recipe
-- Found some possible bridesmaid dresses for my sister's wedding
-- Began a list of toddler craft projects for my budding artiste.
So, yes, life may not be about winning... but it sure is fun when you're Pinning!
Peace & Blessings,
