Everyone has their social media crutch. For some it may be Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or even Snapchat. For me though, it's Pinterest. I am obsessed with pinning anything and everything. Pinterest can very easily become an obsession because there is so much content available. For anyone who doesn't know what Pinterest is, it is a website where you can create and name different pin boards to save ideas that you want to remember for later. Basically, you no longer need to cut out recipes or DIYs you find in magazines, you can just find them online and pin them! But, Pinterest is so much more! From recipes, workout routines, DIYs and wedding inspiration, to architecture, photography, tattoo ideas and gardening (just to name a few!) there is something to interest everyone on Pinterest. Here are some tell tale signs that you are not just Pinterest user, but an actual Pinterest addict.
1. You have a board for everything.
Like, I mean everything. You have a board dedicated to your future wedding and you also have a board dedicated to shoes and cute dogs. You cover all basis with your boards. Everything near and dear to your heart has a special place in a specific pin board and you wouldn't have it any other way.
2. You are a pin hoarder.
It's easy to get caught up and start pinning almost everything you see even if it is not necessary to your life. Even if you are 99.9 percent sure you will never need that thing you pinned you pin it anyway because you never know. Cake recipe that you will most likely never even look at ever again? Better pin that -- you never know when you might need that.
3. You take to Pinterest to solve your problems.
Stained your new shirt? Pinterest. Don't know how to do your hair for prom? Pinterest. Don't know how you want to get your hair cut? Pinterest. Don't know what to make for dinner tonight? Pinterest! You have learned to use Pinterest almost like Google because there are barely any problems that Pinterest cannot solve. It has all the answers.
4. Your alter ego lives on through your Pinterest.
You know the part of you who wants to workout every day, do yoga, travel the world, be creative, and eat healthy? That part of you often comes out on Pinterest. I may never actually cook or even eat any of these healthy recipes or actually do those "five moves to rock solid abs," but I did pin them so that's kind of the same thing -- right?
5. You don't understand people who don't use Pinterest.
Anyone who doesn't use Pinterest you really just don't understand because Pinterest is so amazing. So you do your best to turn all your close friends and family into Pinterest addicts just like you!
