Here at SheKnows we love Pinterest. The virtual pin board is a great way to share our favorite things but it can also be a fun way to get inspired. Bored with your daily routine? Just head over to Pinterest and you’ll be inundated with fresh ideas. Read on for some the best ways the current top of the social media heap can help spice up your life.
Pinterest can: Spice up your style
If you’ve been spending more time staring blankly into your closet than actually getting dressed, let Pinterest guide you more solid sartorial ground.

Shoes and sequins and chignons, oh my! An extension of thisisglamorous.com, the boards on this ultra-stylish Pinterest are sure to get you to rethink the current state of your closet.
Nina Garcia
The fashion director for Marie Claire magazine and judge for Project Runway has great taste (obviously).

Sweet Tooth
Even if you didn’t think you had a sweet tooth, you will after perusing this collection of delectable confections from the traditional (chocolate chip cookies) to the more unusual (carrot cake milkshake, anyone?).
Whether you’re looking for breakfast ideas, one-pot meals, homemade gifts or kitchen tutorials, there’s a board on this popular food blog’s Pinterest to help you.

Maia McDonald
While not strictly home decor, we’re still willing to bet you get lost amid the well-curated pins on this graphic designer’s Pinterest. We’re partial to the Kitchens and Dining board (can you tell we need to overhaul our eating space?) but eat up the DIY, food, fashion and crafts boards too.
Interiors I Dream Of
The name pretty much says it all – this is a board filled with interior inspiration that should give you more than enough ammo to get started on your dream room (or house).
