Ode to Pinterest

My latest obsession is a certain website that I heard about from a friend called Pinterest. One day during break, I saw some friends on their computers scrolling through this website in awe of some really neat & pretty pictures. At first, I wondered Who would want to create an account on a website just to look at pictures? Then I learned that you can click on the pictures and go to links that teach you how to create/make/buy those items in the pictures.  There is am multitude of pictures. They aren't as random and unreliable as Google images. The majority of them are pretty alluring- both the materialistic and the unmaterialistic. Pinterest's pictures range from snapshots of gorgeous models that girl inspire to be to fun little recipes that you can bake for your friends, family, or children. I'd never been so amused!  I asked my friend how I could get one. She said she had to request my membership. So, like everyone else who falls into the trap of Pinterest, I had to wait for my email of consent to the website that told me I was now a verifiable member.

Since the first day I first got accepted to Pinterest,  I have created several categorized "boards." Pinterest has opened up many worlds of creativity to me. I have made 3 or 4 recipes that I found on pinterest and they have all turned out a success. I have even been able to show my mom ideas that I had on a board created specially for the design of my new room.  I have posted and reposted over 430 pins. (Okay, maybe I spend a little too much time on Pinterest.) However, I don't regret creating and account. Pinterest is a way for me to express my style, boost my mood, and get inspired.
