How Pinterest Changed My Life

I’m not exaggerating when I say that I am obsessed with Pinterest. I will openly tell people…Pinterest has changed my life.

Whether it has changed my life for the better is up for serious debate.

All I can say is, it is a very good thing that Pinterest was not around when I was in college. I would never have graduated. I could spend hours, days even, scrolling through images, hitting the  “see more pins” button, which is the icon that shows up at the very bottom of the screen when you’ve already scrolled through like, a bajillion of images.

And I know I’m not alone.

Nevertheless, I urge you to come to the dark side that is Pinterest if you have not already.

We not only have cookies (and cupcakes!), but they are fiercely and fabulously decorated and look like something like this:

If you’re crafty and clever enough, that is.

But if you didn’t happen to have earned a culinary arts degree in pastry, the results are more likely to come out like this:

Results to the Right Are Typical. Very Typical.

There’s even a whole blog called Pinterest Fail, “where good intentions come to die”.  And it’s hilarious.

But I digress.

The reason I would like for you to join and follow me on Pinterest is because I have finally completed my life’s most valuable mission: I have made pinning on Pinterest not only a hobby, but a hobby with a valid purpose.

And that purpose is to find really, really cool stuff that you can earn cash back on with your free shopping membership!

And let me tell you, I am in no way running out of cool things to pin  — and earn cash back on! 

In case you need like a personal submarine one day or something.

But there’s also some practical stuff. Like this wonderful umbrella, literally, fit for a queen. Apparently, this is the very umbrella Her Majesty The Queen uses when she takes a stroll outdoors. The clear dome canopy encapsulates its holder in a wonderful personal moisture barrier, giving new meaning to the idea of ones “personal bubble”. Me like.

My collection is really part-practical, and for-the-most-part-ridiculous.

Girl’s gotta dream.
