Why Having A Wedding Pinterest Board Is Not Crazy

Pinterest is good for a number of reasons. It is helpful for planning events, searching for crafts or gift ideas, looking for your next vacation spot, or helping you find a new workout routine. Anything and everything can be found on the site and it saves people from any dilemma that might arise. One of the most popular boards, especially for girls of all ages, is the wedding board. Is this crazy? Do 16 and 17-year-old girls need to be making a wedding board? Here is your answer: no. It is not crazy, and let me tell you why.

Girls have been dreaming of their 'big day' when they will wear that beautiful white dress since they were practically 5-years-old. It comes naturally. As little girls we dressed up, put on our mom's best shoes and stole some lipstick in preparation for our makeshift weddings. For Halloween, we dressed up as brides complete with white shoes and a veil. We made Barbies and Polly Pocket dolls have extravagant weddings, designing them to fit the idea in our heads. When we grow older though, there comes a time where we can no longer play with dolls and the like – this is where Pinterest boards come into play.

It is not crazy for girls to have wedding boards on Pinterest. Having a wedding board is no different than having a board for your future home, or future travel plans. Some might think it is crazy for a 15-year-old to want to backpack through Europe and create a board for the adventure. Others may think it is crazy for a 20-year-old to create a board for possible room ideas and furniture styles. People are sharing their ideas with the world and Pinterest provides the opportunity for people to 'pin' and organize the ideas so they will not be forgotten. Wedding boards are just as crazy as a travel board, a recipe board, or a tattoo board. In other words, it is not crazy at all.

Wedding boards could even be qualified as practical. If a girl has ideas for an engagement ring or a proposal, friends can point the boyfriend in the right direction by showing him the ideas on Pinterest. Boards can be made for possible wedding shower gift ideas. Girls can find different styles of wedding dresses, or search for that perfect wedding cake design. Of course everyone knows the popularity of wedding themes on Pinterest. Whether you are having a barn themed, Disney themed, lake themed, or beach themed wedding, you can find a plethora of ideas to help you design the big day. You can search for the perfect wedding venue and the different ways to layout the event.

Creating a wedding board is more than a fantasy for a crazy teenage girl. It is to help find ideas and organize one of the biggest days in the life of a girl. This is not a concept we expect boys to understand. Such a day requires much time and preparation to ensure it is perfect. Making a wedding board on Pinterest helps make the entire process that much easier for everyone involved.

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.
