I have a love-hate relationship with Pinterest. I love it because basically its a giant culmination of everything I wanted, plus stuff I never knew I wanted. I hate pinterest though because I waste far too much time on it, and the main reason I hate it, is because it walks up to me all seductive and inviting… then slaps me in the face with the wet blanket that is reality *BAM*! The reality that…
Eating like this
Will not result in a body like this.
That I will never own a pair of these.
I mean yes I could save up and buy these…but $1000!!! Seriously I am the girl who manages a panic attack while spending $60. So no I don’t think I will ever own the beautiful Louboutins 😦
That my dream dress’ price matches that of a car.
Quit taunting me!
That my engagement ring will probably not look like this.
Wowza that’s gorgeous!
And the fact that I have zero patience to make something like this has not, nor will it ever change.
I made a coaster using this technique…ya only a coaster 😦
That with all the practice in the world I will still paint my nails like a drunken 4yr old.
Seriously what kind of black magic is this?
That in order to restore a beautiful automobile like this, I will have to save lots of money, and oh ya learn how to restore a car.
*drool*
That growing my hair to this length is going to take at least another 2 years.
If only.
The fact mommy will probably always detest the idea of tattoos, no matter how fabulous they are.
And lastly, finding a home in my budget that also happens to contain all of this, is about as likely as me running for president and winning!
Yes pinterest is a cruel mistress indeed. But it gives you something to strive, work, and save for…So I will probably frequent the site all the same. I hope you all enjoyed this post, and if you have any similar reality checks you have come across please feel free to share. Happy Thursday all!

haha pinterest has the same effects on me. clever formatting btw
Awe thank you, thats quite the compliment coming from someone such as yourself 🙂
That’s exactly how I feel every time I’m on Pinterest! And no matter how closely I try to follow the hair, makeup and nail polish tips, I will never get them quite right (or even anywhere close to “right”)!
Its just so difficult, if I try anything creative with my hair I end up frustrated and in a ponytail, and if I try something with my nails its looks like I had seizures while trying to paint them! lol
Oh Sarah, Why? Only thing on your list I can afford is the cookies. I do like cookies. And the heels look nice, and…well I could go on. Dang Pinterest!
Hahaha I know exactly what you mean! I’m the worst, I will always pick the most expensive thing as my favorite, you could line up several similar shoes not tell me their price and I would pick the most expensive pair! Its like a curse or something haha 😉
great post
May I ask what sort of delicious looking cookie that is?
I believe they are whoopie pies…Not sure why they call them pies though lol
Thanks. Not sure, probably similar to the reason they call those oatmeal creme pie snack cake things pies.
yes that seems about right, its funny how they name things 🙂
