My Introduction to Pinterest

One of the social sites I use daily on my quest to learn about new and exciting things is Pinterest. I was introduced to Pinterest almost a year before I actually started using it. Once I signed up for it and saw all these different categories of interest, I immediately got overwhelmed and decided this social picture board was not for me. Then I went to a family gathering and I was showing a cousin a ton of pictures I had saved in my smartphone of hairstyles that I liked. She IMMEDIATELY asked me if I was on Pinterest. I told her that I wasn't and she looked at me like I was crazy. She explained to me exactly how it works and all the wonderful things I could pin. Once I got home I logged in on my smartphone and once I set up my 5 interests, I was HOOKED. There were so many things that were on the site and what I liked was the fact that there were just as many people out there in the world who not only had the same interests as me, but it gave me a place to store all the millions of pictures I had saved on my phone (I literally had over 12,000 pictures on my phone...YIKES)!

As I started getting more familiar with the site, I felt like the possibilities were ENDLESS. I not only got to see other pins of things I loved, but it allowed me to share with others boards, pictures, and websites they wouldn't normally see. I have boards that range from hair & nail care, shoes & clothing, even crocheting. Feel free to check out my Pinterest boards by clicking on the link below or click on See My Pinterest to the right.

What It's All About

The Vision:

The vision behind this blog started when I made the decision to start living a more productive life. A life that included eating healthier, cleaning up my finances, and allowing myself to become more aware of the things I come into contact with on an everyday basis and making smarter decisions in life. I also have a fond fascination with electronics and technology and love advising people on how electronics not only work, but also allowing them to work for their everyday life. Then it hit me....

.......DING DING DING

Why not come up with a blog that allowed me to integrate the two. A blog that allowed me to share my experiences and views on how to live a smarter, healthier, productive life, but also showing that in today's world, technology can help us with getting to that better place. Whether it's understanding how your cell phone works, saving a couple of dollars for a college fund, or downloading an app for a recipe for a healthy dinner for your family. Throughout this blog you will find everything from recipes for homemade cleansers to apps that will help you become financially and physically fit. I use sites like Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest along with many other apps and websites to help me with carrying out most of the things I try.
