I've always been a visual person. I also used to be quite artistic. Artistic in the literal sense; drawing, painting, canvassing, using pastels were among my repertoire. I believe that these days, a lot of people are artistic in many forms that go beyond putting pencil or brush to paper.
A couple months ago, I walked by some coworkers that were perusing what looked like an Etsy or even a shopping type of website. However, I started seeing images like houses, white picket fences, and recipes on their screens. I soon came to find out that this website was cleverly deemed as "Pinterest". Put the words "pin" and "interest" together, and there you have it.
Easy. Yes. Addicting. Most certainly. A new portal to getting back my artistic prowess I thought was lost. Finally!
Pinterest is a real life (and in real time might I add) vision board. A hub for everything you want, everything you need, and everything everyone else wants and needs. Therein lies the nature of "pinning". You pin what strikes your fancy whether it be fall outfits, shoes, a dream house in Nantucket, or cute dogs that are only bred in high society--and make sniffing their own butts seem utterly adorable on screen. Personally, I use Pinterest for outfit ideas, recipes to try, places I want to see, and items that I may some day find within reach.
Recently, I decided to use Pinterest to its full potential and actually bring to life some of my pins. Specifically, using it to get dressed for work and also making snacks for parties. I made these last weekend for a party and everyone devoured them (including myself). I pinned them and I made them--that simple.
