Oooh! So many pretties, I love!!!
I will use the “star” feature on my GReader when I love a post and want to link back, or I will “pin” a picture I love from a blog post (or any other site!) This does work well for me, for sure! I’m very forgetful, so I’ll often also jot down what I plan on sharing in my Weekly Love List in my journal/planner!!!
I bookmark them on my computer. :) works really well for me! P.S. I love #3. It made me smile.
Great pretty things! I kinda want some ice cream or cupcake now lol! I am in deep like with bloglovin’! If I really like a post that I read, I can like it and it saves it for me! I have MAC and on the right hand corner it has a pair of reading glass, called a reading list, I use that to save post’s that I want to go back to if it’s from a blog I just stumble upon. This way, when I have time I can go back, look at the post, and poke around that person’s blog a little more. For recipes, photo’s, craft idea’s, etc. I use pinterest.
Aw, Gus!!! So fun to click over and see my FACE on your 7 pretty things post. Psh, I think *you* are a pretty thing. When do I get to hug you, friend??
…will you be at SNAP! ? — i’m speaking! :)
Hello!
I love Pinterest the most out of anything as ways to gather inspiration. Almost everything I cook and wear is inspired by the creative community of Pinterest :)! I love love love love love it!!!!! I think it’s important though if you’re going to have a Pinterest account, to actually do at least a small percentage of what you pin.. so that way you’re not just sitting around on the computer clicking buttons, but you’re actually getting up and being creative whether it’s through cooking, dressing, crafting, decorating and more! :)
I also just recently opened up a Tumblr account all about fashion… I feel like I have no style but I admire so many bloggers out there when it comes to their sense of fashion. So my Tumblr account is a way to show my admiration and hopefully pick up some tips as well :)!
