Thursday: Social Media

So my recent love on the social media scene has been Pintrest. If you don't know what it is, it is literally like having a virtual cork bored for pictures of anything and everything. It can get a little addicting. You can like the "pins" of others, follow other people and repin what they put on their sites. You can also have separate boards for different things. For example, if you wanted to have a clothing board, a interior design board, and anything else.

Here is a picture of one of my boards:

The set up is really sleek and simple which I love and it lets the colors in the pictures pop so much more :)

Another site that I had discovered a while ago and just went back to is 750words.com It is this great site where you can write freely. It is sort of like an online journal. It keeps track of how many days you write, if you write everyday in a row, how many words, and much more. The goal is to write at least 750 words a day. It is a open white space so it is really easy to start typing and get carried away. You can earn badges on the site too for how much writing you do, how fast, etc.

One of the best things about this site is that it takes note of the things you write about, they call it "your subconscious"-- what your mood seems to be while writing, words you write a lot, and it sort of gives you a look into the type of writing you do. Sometimes an entry will be more negative and it will tell you that. It notes how much you swear, or how positive you're being. It is incredible how much you can learn.

The layout is very minimalistic. I think it is a great way to get motivated to write, and learn about yourself in the process. I really want to try to get into this for real.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Thursday: Youtube Video

So for Thursdays, I want to share the social media that I loved most for the week. I have two Youtube videos in particular that I wanted to share. First up, is by JennaMarbles, who if you don't know her, is one of the funniest girls ever. She is hysterical, and completely blunt and honest which makes it even better. She also has two adorable little dogs, Marbles the Chihuahua and Kermit the Italian Greyhound. They are amazing and even star in their own videos sometimes! Here is her video for this week, what boys do in the bathroom in the morning :)

Next up, is a video by Phillip DeFranco. He is one of the biggest stars of Youtube and there is a reason. He is so genuine and doesn't feed his viewers crap. He tells it like it is and if you don't like his opinion well fuck off. He does a show every day, and reports on "stuff that mattered to him". The best part about this video and why I love it so much, is that he uses his humor so well. And even if he is making jokes about women or gays you cannot help but laugh because he actually cares a lot about people but he just knows how to make fun of everyone. You can actually learn a lot from his shows. This is his Thursday show!

Hope you enjoy these two videos! Have a freaking amazing weekend guys!
