Excluding Google, I think that Pinterest is my most visited website. I was a very early fan of the site and it has given me so much inspiration, ideas and advice on so many topics over the years. However, it is full of so much information that I recently started a revamp of my boards and follows as it was becoming too big to allow me to use it effectively. I still have more work to do on this, but it seems that my account is becoming mine again.
There are bits of my life which overlap and it felt at times that the fun had gone out of my Pinterest feed as a lot was themed on education, adoption, special needs etc.. all very useful and serious but there are times I need to switch off! I have now got a professional account for these topics to allow me to have more fun on my personal board and I use the professional one on my work laptop.
My favourite boards are my seasonal ones, inspiring ideas for different celebrations throughout the year. I’ve used so many of the pins on these boards, they simply are not for browsing and looking but trying, adapting and enjoying. The Elf on the Shelf has his own board and I have been indebted to these ideas as I plan our scenarios. Other useful boards are those for my running, journaling and books.
Like Instagram, my Pinterest account is not linked to my blog in any way, except name, it is just the things I like and am interested in. Pinterest is such an inspiring and fun website and one I love to use.
Ahh! I love my seasonal boards on Pinterest too….I have a separate one for The Elf on the Shelf too. lol Pinterest has been a great help when I get half way through December and run out of ideas. lol x
That’s an interesting idea to have a personal and a professional account, although I don’t think I could handle having two! I need to tidy up and organise my boards a bit more, I have some which are a bit pointless, and various ambiguous board titles. I’m working on it!
