Pinterest is the one site on the internet where you can spend literal hours and have an entire wedding planned with food, DIY decorations, and a workout regime included. Here are some common issues we all face when you are too addicted to Pinterest.


1. Why pay $5 for an item when you can spend $20 and make it yourself?

We usually counter this idea with the fact that whatever we are making will be of a higher quality and make more, but in the end we know we just wasted an extra $15 to see if it actually works.


2. People are so concerned about being Instagram worthy but in reality we just want to be Pinterest worthy.

Whether its a homemade recipe or an idea for a new DIY, you could care less about what your Instagram followers think about it. No, your Pinterest crew would appreciate this much more. So, you create a pin and wait for your creations to inspire others.


3. You realize how bad you are at makeup.

There are pins touting "easy makeup in 15 minutes" you try, you fail. Just how is their makeup looking so flawless in under 25 minutes? That's how long my eyeliner takes...


4. Pinterest fails are a very, very real thing.

You are dying to try a new recipe. You put said recipe into the oven expecting it to come out exactly like the picture, because obviously other people have been able to do this. You take it out of the oven, but alas, the cute little snowmen cookies have melded together to create one massive mess. Note to self: don't do this one again.


5. You are able to waste hours on this site.

Whether you are trying to avoid your family gatherings, or are looking for ideas to spice up your room, allow yourself a minimum of an hour. There are so many cool ideas that lead to others, which lead to even more. It is so easy to become lost in this site, use at your own risk!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
