15 Ways Pinterest Ruined My Life
Dana Cordova Blog

Pinterest has some great ideas, but let’s be honest, how many of those things do you actually try? From makeup tips to transforming your life, it offers a platter of everything you need, but nothing ever really seems to go to actual use. If you do actually try something, however, it doesn't always turn out as planned. You really get our hopes up, Pinterest.

1. It makes you want to redecorate everything in your life, but then you realize you’re poor.

2. You have a back stock of 300 healthy recipes you could make, but the only ones you’d ever attempt are the no bake cheesecakes.

3. All your attempted crafts come out like garbage because you’re not artistic, but you can't give up yet.

4. My makeup doesn’t look like that.

5. It seems totally justifiable to spend your savings on one pair of shoes just because they’re all over the site… in different colors.

6. Vacations/scenery make you want to leave the suburb you live in and never come back.

7. “DIY” turns into “Well, I tried.”

8. You planned on going all out with your dorm décor because it offered you thousands of ideas, but all you ended up with are a few crafts and a plant.

9. All the engagement ring and wedding pictures.

10. It makes you hate all your clothes.

11. You click on a list of “Life Hacks” expecting to encounter something life-changing, but all it is, is “How to stop your sink from dripping after you turn it off.”

12. It makes me want to drop out of school so I can become a full-time fashion blogger.

13. You know better than to attempt the braided up-do hairstyles because you know your hair will end up in a messy bun, and not the cute kind.

14. You felt fine earlier, but after scrolling through your feed, you realized that you need to lose 10 pounds ASAP.

15. All the workout routines that just sit in your “motivation” board and have never been attempted once.

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.
