Ok, so this
blog is dedicated to my infatuation with Pinterest. Before Pinterest I didn’t
know how to do much, now I can do a few things…LOL. I can do more than what I
use to, we’ll leave it at that.
Pinterest
CEO Ben Silbermann summarized the company as a "catalog of ideas,"
rather than as a social network, that inspires users to "go out and do
that thing. – This was taken from Wikipedia, but it explains the website
perfectly.
Let’s begin
with cooking. I’m not a cook, I’m not good at it and I don’t enjoy it, but not
too long ago I decided to take a hard look at my finances. During this time I
discovered just how much I was spending on meals. On lunch every day, on dinner
every day, on going to dinner on weekends… IT WAS A LOT OF $$$. Again, not
being fond of the kitchen, Pinterest had super easy, simple, cheap ideas for
meals. Since then my bank account is grateful.
Let’s move
on to makeup. I’m a girly-girl. I love makeup and everything that it
encompasses. For most of my 20’s I didn’t know how to properly do my makeup (I
would line my lips way darker than my actual lip color and had blonde streaks
in my hair…I know, right…gross). Thanks to Pinterest now I know better, I’m not
a makeup artist quality, but when it comes to foundation, eyeshadow and mascara
I can hold my own.
Last but not
least, working out. I’m as lazy as they come. I will watch an entire season of
a show in one sitting. Working out is not a priority for me, but I also feel
really crappy when I don’t move. Pinterest has awesome easy workouts that you
can do WHILE watching TV!!!!!. I don’t know how much it’s doing to my body, but
I do feel better knowing that I haven’t been immobile for an entire season of
American Horror Story.
