Pinterest -- my newest social fixation and theraputic relief

If you like crafts, need new recipes, like random quotes of laugther/inspiration/motivation, want new hair/makeup/clothes try out Pinterest.

I would say that marking today, at around this time of the day, I put in brief information to open a Pinterest account.

Not really being the one who open frequent social media accounts, I was only prompted to finally do it since I saw this really interesting "Do it yourself" post for making a t-shirt scarf.

However, I did not understand the magnitude of the addiction of this site until 2 minutes later when I was prompted to "pick some things that I like" (I assume to get my page started). That was when I saw all of these great things that started to awake my inner creative juices that I had long buried during my last two years in high school.

RULING:

After a week of having the account and slowly downloading the app to my phone: I would have to truly say that this site is for everyone - anyone - everybody!

I have found so many affordable recipe ideas and DIY home creations that I will be tyring this weekend. Since I have officially joined the Pinterest train, I will do the people justice and post everything that I have taken from pinterest and the benefits of that decision.

Honestly, what is there to lose? If you spend you time on Google or Yahoo searching for things that need answers -- this is the better equivalent.

Seriously try it out. And if it's not your swing. Tweet about it.
