SOCIAL MEDIA | Most Pinteresting...




EVERYBODY STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND VISIT http://pinterest.com.

This is the latest trend in social media muscling through the Twitters and Tumblrs to create a site where members can moodboard until their heart’s content.

Now, whenever that picture appears online which captures everything you’ve ever wanted from a bathroom/wedding dress/cupcake etc., you can ‘Pin It’ onto your personal virtual board and it’ll be there whenever an escape to dreamland is needed. Then share with friends/family/cats/dogs/randoms and have a browse of theirs. It’s a visual feast.

With over 10 million users since its birth in 2010, Pinterest is already a hype among retailers, brands and the media.

Needless to say I am already obsessed so, if you haven’t already, sign up, get hooked and follow my boards. http://pinterest.com/helenarchard. That is all.

READ | How to be a Woman - Caitlin Moran

" The people around you are mirrors, you see yourself reflected in their eyes. If the mirror is true and smooth, you see your true self. That's how you learn who you are. And you might be a different person to different people but it's all feedback you need in order to know yourself. If the mirror is broken or cracked or warped, the refelction is not true and you start to believe you are this bad reflection. "

LIFE | Race For Life 2012

After being a commited smoker for nearly 8years, I am on my most successful bid to give up. No matter how many adverts and pictures of rotting lungs are forced under your nose, nothing really sinks in when you've got your smokey safety crutch wedged snugly in between your fingers.

But i'm done with that and in a hope to make up for the many hours of my life spent and wasted with Mr Cigarette, I'm flip reversing and raising money for Cancer Research UK by doing the Race for Life 2012. On the 10th of June I will be running around in public which to me is worth a few quid just for comedy value.

I'm sure everyone reading this has unfortunately been affected by 'The Big C' in some way at some point so I really want to get off my arse and help. So if you're feeling generous, click on my magic button on the right hand side which will whisk you over to my donation page.

Much appreciated.
