By now most people have heard of the website and smart phone application, “Pinterest,” but for those of you who have not heard about it; Pinterest is a social networking site that allows anybody to post pictures, anecdotes, or craft ideas. Each user has a “pinboard” that the user can pin an image or idea to their own board or share with others. Here are the top eight reasons why everybody should have a Pinterest:
- Escape – Pinterest is a nice way to have a break/escape from what you are focusing on. It helps to just suck you in and look at pictures online or on your phone!
- Connect throughout the world – There are different categories from sports to beauty. This website applies to everyone around the world. The purpose of the site is to find people with common interests from any country and bring them together.
- Plan your wedding or a party – Pinterest can also be great for helping with wedding or party ideas with their category, “wedding” or “Holidays and Events.”
- Get new cooking ideas – Look at the “Food and Drink” wall for new food ideas or recipes!
- Stay in shape! – There are many different work –out directions or healthy meal ideas in “Health and Fitness.”
- Decorate – Pinterest is known for having many craft ideas or decoration ideas for your room, apartment, new house, or anything needed!
- Fashion Advice – Pinterest has a fashion board for men and women! Look here for fashion tips and ideas for full outfits.
