Pinterest. From the words “pin” and “interest”, you can pin your interests and organize them. No other social media app can let you do that! Your special posts are called “pins” and you can organize them in “boards”. It’s just like an online pinboard of ideas and reminders! Get your inspiration back with these steps:

Pins

- Tap “Use Photo”. You may press “Retake“ instead if you are not satisfied with your photo.

Pin Your Interest!
If you’re a fan of organizing things, Pinterest is certainly your home! The app is a home for your hobbies, interests, and dreams and you get to organize them yourself. And when followers find your profile, they will get to know you in a faster and easier way.
Anytime you feel uninspired, just look at your existing boards and remind yourself of your goals. Inspire yourself with your pins that are specially labeled in sections. Pinterest is all about you, so pin away all day!
