Pinterest Addict


What is Pinterest?

Pinterest is a Virtual Pinboard. Pinterest lets you organize and share all the beautiful things you find on the web. People use pinboards to plan their weddings, decorate their homes, and organize their favorite recipes. Best of all, you can browse pinboards created by other people. Browsing pinboards is a fun way to discover new things and get inspiration from people who share your interests.

Our Mission

Our goal is to connect everyone in the world through the 'things' they find interesting. We think that a favorite book, toy, or recipe can reveal a common link between two people. With millions of new pins added every week, Pinterest is connecting people all over the world based on shared tastes and interests.

I admit. Ever since I signed up for Pinterest, i've been hooked. 

I can still recall the first day that I signed up for it. It was just an innocent thing. The account was made so I can pin pictures that I want to remember. Sort of a reminder of things/pictures that I find interesting on the web. I figured, I can pin them now and then get back to them after some time. I also use it to remind myself of stuff that I wanna do, or stuff that I need to be doing. It was surely not meant to be an everyday thing??!! And now what's this?!?! 

I cannot help myself anymore. I’m now getting quite addicted to it. And no, i'm not just your usual addicted "pinner". No sir. I don't do "trigger pinning" like most of them do. I don't pin EVERYTHING I see. I only pin stuff that are interesting to me. But my difference to most "pinners" is that I am actually planning to do everything, if not, most of the stuff I pin. (And if you know me in person, doing something or anything for that matter, is not my thing)

So far, i've already pinned about 64 pictures. These pins are divided into 4 boards. My favorite of all boards would be my “hair, skin, beauty” board. It has about 10 pictures now of beautifying techniques that I plan on doing. I’m planning to start with my hair. 
I have a very thick and strong hair, however, due to frequent hair coloring and using hot hair tools, it’s gotten so dry and I’m also noticing a lot of split ends now. It ain’t pretty!
Anyways, I found a lot of useful techniques to help me with my hair. My main mission now is to nourish my dry hair and to help it grow faster. With the help of Pinterest, I found out that there are lot of home remedies and ingredients that can help me. I found around 50 tips for my hair, but I will only list the things that I would be doing myself. And the list* starts now:

1. Vinegar Rinse: Add one part vinegar with two parts water and use as final rinse after shampooing.

2. Castor Oil: For hair and eyelashes!! Massage to scalp once a week. Apply on lashes every/every other night. Leave overnight then rinse.

3. Mayo Massage: Put mayo on hair for 20mins. Then shampoo. Once a week.

4. Egg yolk and Olive Oil Mask: 2 Egg Yolk+2tbsp Olive Oil+1/2 cup water. 20mins/twice a month.

5. Banana Mask: Mash one banana then rub on hair and scalp. Cover with plastic or/and hot towel. Once a week.

6. Coconut Oil and Lemon Juice: Add one part lemon juice:two parts coconut oil. Massage on scalp, leave overnight. Rinse with cool water. Once a week.

7. Coconut Oil and Avocado Mask: Heat coconut oil for 10secs then massage on hair and scalp. Mash avocado and apply to tips of hair. Leave for 10-15mins then rinse with cool water and shampoo. Once a week.

Aren’t they ridiculously simple??
-Hell yeah!
Hmmmm I’m quite skeptic, they sound too good to be true!
-IKR? That’s why I’m gonna try them out!


Yep! I’m gonna try them and it would be entitled as my, “Project Rapunzel: A Journey Towards Healthier Hair”. 
I’ll post updates of it on this blog. I already bought the ingredients that I’m gonna use. As you will notice, there’s no item on the list of a mask that you can do every night. Most of them are advised to be done at least once a week only. So what I decided to do is to choose 2 types of masks on the list that I’d be doing twice a week. I will try numbers 2 and 6. I will also put the castor oil on my eyelashes and see if it they would grow faster and thicker. EEEEHHkkk!! I’m so excited! I’ll be starting them tonight but since I’m too tired, I’ll just post the pictures tomorrow. Bye for now!


Yeah I know I sound like an insecure bitch who needs a lot of improvement on herself to feel good. Well, not really. I’m actually quite outspoken and people who know me can testify that im quite confident. All I’m saying is that all of us want to improve themselves right? For example, if you’re a person who has bad skin, or dry hair, or yellowish teeth, wouldn’t it be nice to exert a little effort to improve yourself? Disclaimer much???! J
