Why We Love Pinterest
Pinterest

Pinterest is the one site that actually makes you feel like a real-life blogger. You pin your interests, create boards with categories of things you like, and eventually your Pinterest turns into an array of things you enjoy. As a user for a few years now, I think I've narrowed it down to a few key reasons why we gravitate toward this outlet of creativity.

1. The Recipes

Pinterest has the BEST recipes. And better yet, once you pin one type of recipe, it proceeds to recommend a variety of recipes they think you might enjoy. It's like having your own recipe book personalized just for you. It also has the best drink recipes. I always look back to my recipe board if I'm looking for a new drink to try with friends.

2. Free Workouts

Why purchase a workout guide or a gym membership when you can go to Pinterest for an infinite amount of workouts? There's a variety of at home workouts that Pinterest advertises, and there are so many that you are guaranteed to find something that suits you.

3. The Outfits

The girls that appear on my Pinterest feed always have the best style. Pinning these pictures to a Style Board is the perfect way to see all of the styles that appeal to you. When I'm shopping, I sometimes pull up my Style Board just to remind myself of the type of clothing I'd like to own and the styles I want to achieve.

4. Home Ideas

This might just be my favorite. As a 20 year-old girl still living in her parent's home, I can't help but fantasize about the day I can afford to buy my own house. Pinterest makes you feel like you're an interior designer. I have a board created for all things home-related, and I know for a fact that when it comes to decorating my future home I'll be referencing my Pinterest regularly.

5. Wedding Plans

I'm not engaged, I don't even have a boyfriend, but because of Pinterest I think I have my entire wedding planned out. If you need wedding ideas, Pinterest is the go-to place. I have a board filled with ideas for my wedding when the time comes. Not to mention I've pinned a ton of wedding dress styles that I like. Whether it's in five years or ten years, I know for a fact my Pinterest will be my savior when it comes to wedding planning.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
