Y'all, can I just say that I love Pinterest?!!
I go to it for any ideas about anything. Why? Because it literally has EVERYTHING on there!
That being said... it can be a hit or miss with the way things turn out on there.
I've had a couple recipes turn out like a skunk in a dumpster.
But if you can weed through the bad ones, you can get some pretty successful 'Pinterest Wins!'
Pinterest Wins!
Decor
Ready to see my most recent Pinterest Win?
Look here to see my whole post on this, but I made our front door wreath based on a Pinterest pin.
Mine is on the left, and the Pinterest pin is on the right.
I'd say that's a Pinterest Win!!
Hair
This next one is also a win! This is how I style my hair most days, and I learned it through a pin on Pinterest!
Take about 1 inch sections of hair and pull it through your straightener, while twisting the straightener.
What's the result? Beautiful, loose curls that get all the heads turning!
Food
This used to be one of my mama's favorite things that I would make for her! {Sigh, how I wish she was here}
It's super duper easy to make, and it only takes one pot! SO YUMMY!!!

Pinterest Fails...
Decor
Well, this one could be user error... but if you're a busy wife/mama like me, you may find that it does the same thing for you.
Personally, in my decor, I like for it to all be perfect and for it to all match. I don't like 'extra' things hanging around, if you will.
I loved the idea of this, but I think I mainly saw the top of the picture, with how cute the picture frame and the arrow was.
The issue with the arrow jewelry hanger is that it will not stay pretty.
How many times do you take your jewelry off and it goes into your jewelry hanger as fast as you can put it there?
So what happened with this one is that I had half of the jewelry hanging on there, and half of it not. And the jewelry did not go with the decor.
SO, I'm calling this one a fail!
Hair
Yep... this one looks adorable! UNTIL IT FADES.
And let me tell you, my hair is a mess now because of these "beautiful" red lowlights I decided to put in.
Don't get me wrong. They looked gorgeous for about 2 weeks. And then they faded. And turned my hair orange.
Beware!
Food
This one failed because it was SO DRY!!
I honestly loved the idea of these. Healthy ingredients and they have some great flavor.
But mine {which were made to the exact recipe} lacked flavor, were dry, and way too dense.
These are Greek Yogurt Lemon Blueberry Muffins.
This post was so fun! Maybe a series of Pinterest Wins! and Pinterest Fails... is in order. What do y'all think? Would you like to see more of this stuff?








I love seeing your wins and fails! That wreath came out really cute and it looks pretty easy to make too!
ReplyDeleteThank you! And yes, the wreath wasn't challenging! A little time consuming, but worth it!
DeleteI can never get my hair to curl with a straight iron! Never!!!
ReplyDeleteIt took me MANY youtube tutorials after seeing it on Pinterest, Lol! But now I can't get it to curl with a curling iron! But my hair is also fairly short. So maybe that's why!
