Since looking up recipes and food are the number one thing people do on Pinterest, this site should know what is going on in the food world.
3. Beauty- Going Natural
Pinterest believes more women will be going natural come January first. From no heat hairstyles to taking care of hair with the all natural and organic jojoba oil, more women are going away from complicated and harmful hair procedures.
4. Travel
As normal, traveling is always in style. However, Pinterest predicts more trips closer to home with National Parks with green scenery being a good and popular stop.
5. Children's Activities
Pinterest believes the time of technology will start to slow down with parents putting more emphasis on interacting with their children and encouraging imagination. Top games and activities parents looked up include fairy garden, making popsicles, story starters, finger play, and development through play. It looks like parents are also trying to give their children more culture as it is predicted that more parents (up by 305%) want to teach their children Spanish and many parents also want to talk their kids on road trips and show them the world.
