I had a revelation early today that if I was left with nothing but Pinterest to guide me, I could survive on my own.

Dress with perfect style and know how to do different hairstyles.
Give the best homemade presents to people.
Be an expert at hosting parties.
Have a kick-ass daily work-out routine. read more
