Pinterest for Events

I never got the concept of being on Facebook and "wasting" time during the day looking at pictures and posts on there. However, after downloading the Pinterest app on my Iphone....I now understand. There is something spectacular about the images on Pinterest that make your heart flutter. When you see a picture that pops out to you, its like "How does Pinterest know EXACTLY how I am feeling and EXACTLY what I need to spark my interest at this very moment??". 

Well, despite being bored and needing something to do when you're waiting in the doctor's office, Pinterest can inspire you for everyday necessities. For example:

1.) I took up the challenge of making dinner every night this week since my mom doesn't believes me when I say I can cook (love ya mom ;) )
I got every recipe off of Pinterest. 
Monday: Roasted Brocolli and Farro Salad with Feta

Tuesday: Quinoa Salad and Butternut Squash

Wednesday: Brown Rice Pasta with Peas and Asparagusspring pasta with peas and asparagus #quick #savory #easy #healthy #lunch #dinner #spring #pasta
Thursday: Healthy Flatbread Pizza

2.) As an event planner I have been able to create inspiration boards with ease. All I do is go to the wedding/event section of Pinterest for numerous pictures and ideas, or I type in something specific that I am looking for such as favors, DIY projects, cake, or wedding dresses. 
These are just a couple of very cool pictures I found on Pinterest that I would love to incorporate into my events:
Celery Roses:
Celery printing -- You'd be throwing that bit of the celery away anyway.
Sprinkled Drink Rims:

Pretty Decor and Balloon Bouquets:
Pretty!.

3.) Also, as a girl who loves to try new hair styles and makeup techniques, of course the hair and beauty section is a huge hit for me. Whether you're looking for a makeup tutorial or a simple hair style to try out, Pinterest has step-by-step pictures or online videos linked to some of the pictures in order to help you achieve that look.

Now these are all just some of my favorite ways to play with Pinterest but there are hundreds of other fun ideas for every out there whether you are a computer programmer, a mechanic, an anime geek, an urban hipster, or a gym rat. So go get your Pinterest on!!!!! And follow my boards!

  1. So far, my favorite was the pizza. The real question is, what will Ashley find on pinterest for tonight's dinner? Are there pictures of steak?
