Honesty Hour {Dreams and Pinterest}

Hey guys! We are back with another Honesty Hour! But before we jump into that, can I just get you guys to feast your eyes on the right sidebar...I'm going to brag about myself for a hot minute. I did those social icons all by myself...okay well a fabulous blog with design advice helped me but still. I'm real proud of myself.

Okay moving on! Welcome to Honesty Hour!

So for this week's honesty hour I was kind of at a loss as to what to talk about. So like any uninspired person, I got on Pinterest. And thus the idea of Dreams And Pinterest was born.

Pinterest is like the best gift to women ever created. No seriously. Its like a dream come true. (See what I did there?! Ha.) Its a place where we can look at beautiful things, try to to recreate them and fail miserably. I have never had a Pinterest crafting project turn out as pretty as it was in my head. Its devastating.

I believe that Pinterest is a place of dreams. Can I get an amen? Like those dreams that are so big you'll never reach them and if you do, they won't be exactly the way you want them. Don't get me wrong. I love love LOVE Pinterest. I really do. But I know that half of the things I pin, I will never accomplish. I don't have the time, money, or drive to accomplish it all. No matter how much I want to.

I think us women mainly pin the following 6 things. (Or at least this is all I pin and all I see most of the people I follow pin.)

Numero 1: DIY/Crafts. Like seriously. Why? I don't have the time to even DO half of these things nor do I have the money. I don't even know what half the materials are or where to find them. BUT they just look so dang cool I pin them anyway with the hope of being able to do them one day. I dream of being a pro at Pinterest Crafts/DIY. 

Numero 2: Food. This is probably the one that I do most often. I pin all these recipes while thinking "Oh I'll cook that for the roomies or for Tim" or "Oh wow that's awesome and cheap! I should do that!". But you see my friends. I don't know what half the ingredients are, the pictures just looks so dang good. I wish I could cook like the master chefs who come up with these recipes. I dream of being a master chef of Pinterest recipes.

 

Numero 3: ALL THINGS WEDDINGS. This one probably doesn't even need an explanation. EVERY girl has a "dream wedding" board on Pinterest. Every. Single. Girl. I dream of having the perfect Pinterest inspired wedding.

Numero 4: All things fashion. I don't do this often because I know that I am way too lazy to actually out those outfits together. I'm down with wearing jeans and tees. But I dream of being a Pinterest fashionista.

Numero 5: Decorating ideas. THIS. I probably pin more about decorating my future home that even food. Seriously. I'm obsessed. I pin all these decorating ideas and don't even think about the fact that most houses don't have those little nooks unless you build the house. But I love pinning those ideas anyway, like a junkie. I dream of having the perfect Pinterest decorated house

Numero 6: Health and fitness. This one gets me all the time. I will pin health tips for my body and eating, knowing that I will NEVER use or do any of them. I will also pin workout ideas...while I sit on my butt on the couch eating a bag of potato chips. I dream of being one of those toned Pinterest workout models. 

So there you have it. I love Pinterest but its like the grown-up version of Disney fairytales. 

Have a great weekend, guys. 

With love, Carly ♥
