pinterest

I don't mean to brag, but since joining Pinterest some 6 months ago, I reckon I've probably racked up about 4,872 hours of what can only be described as Hardcore Pinning.  Yep, my pinterest account has kept me well and truly occupied.  I pin pretty much anything to do with food, healthy living and clothes that I'd like to fit into.  Because pinning it is a hell of a lot easier than actually doing it.  

Last night, when I was furiously pinning important things like how to ice a cake while whipping up your own edible glitter I realised that pinterest was just a bit to G rated for my liking.  Everyone has boards with cute titles like 'Paris Perfect' and 'An Organised Life' or my personal favourite ' Vignette Love'...if by everyone you mean me.  Cos they're totally titles of my own boards.  I know.  I don't know who I am anymore either.

But don't worry Lovely Reader, as I'm on my way to fixing things.  Yep, I've started a board called 'Things I Will Never Use/Need/Do'  which you can see for yourself right here.  In the meantime, here are a few highlights, complete with the official pinterest captions (and my snarky retorts) for your viewing pleasure...

Camping Meal Ideas. 

Um, so let me get this straight.  You'd like me to do everything I do at home (cook, clean, look after the kids) but without an actual kitchen, washing machine &/or tv.  Please somebody, explain to me what part of that sounds like a holiday?  Sounds like effing torture if you ask me.

Traditional Leg Tattoos.  

Look I'm not opposed to tattoos, but if I'm going to get my whole leg done, I think I'd probably go for something a little less 'traditional'.  And maybe a bit more colour?  Just saying.

The veggie Christmas Tree is the most unique vegetable and dip platter for a holiday party.

Well, you can't argue with the facts.  It sure is unique.  And really, let's face it, nothing says Christmas like raw vegetables.

Tuna can candle holders for a little backyard ambiance.

Cos I love the smell of tuna wafting through my backyard on a balmy Summer's evening.

{DIY}

Right, well I'm not sure how exactly I'd DIY these.  I'm guessing I just cut up my favourite aztec shirt and sew it onto my denim undies?  Then go find Snooki and hit the Jersey Shore for vodka shots? 

Brussel Sprouts with Chestnut and Bacon.

Look I would totally make this dish.  Really I would.  I'd just leave out the brussel sprouts and the chestnut.  And serve it with crusty white bread and lashings of butter.  So actually, it would be a bacon sandwich FTW!
