Time and time again, I have found myself scrolling through Pinterest, only to realize that two hours have gone by since conducting a seemingly innocent search for a quick dinner fix. TWO HOURS. While certainly addicting, Pinterest has provided me with ideas for a lifetime. Whether you're a Pinterest pro or curious to give the lifestyle app a try, these five things have happened or will in fact occur upon a matter of minutes. Happy pinning!
1. You'll shop till you drop.
Online shopping is taken to a whole new LEVEL within Pinterest, with suggested pins flying at you left and right and stores having their own Pinterest accounts to provide you with the latest trends, not to mention with links directly to purchase. You might wince checking your debit card balance the next morning.
2. You'll get crafty.
Need ideas for DIY dorm decor? Pinterest. A personalized gift for a friend's birthday? Pinterest. Creativity is in fact available within a click of a button.
3. You'll want to vacation EVERYWHERE.
Thanks to Pinterest, it has never been easier to map out a whole vacation from takeoff to the last day. Looking for a day by day itinerary for Paris? Check. A packing list for Iceland in November? Got it.
4. You'll (attempt to) cook.
I'll admit, I am by no means a chef, but thankfully for Pinterest I have been able to find simple recipes for weekly meal prep and have found myself drooling over the hundreds of brownie recipes listed.
5. You'll find any reason to plan a party.
Pinterest lets your inner party planner soar to new heights, looking for the best decorations and ideas for any occasion.
