Pin It Forward: Introducing Pinterest UK!


Today I'm really excited, because I finally get to tell you guys about the Pinterest UK campaign!

Pinterest is a site that needs no introduction - an online pin board and tool for collecting, organising and sharing beautiful ideas and images from all over the web. I've been a fan of Pinterest for a while now, using it to remember everything from travel ideas to DIY crafts and dream homes (still a girly girl at heart, ha ha!) I love that I can follow people and their boards, and easily keep up to date with what they're a fan of.

My favourite part of Pinterest is that it doesn't just save images for you - it also saves where it's from, so it's not just collecting images but bookmarking a reference! It's only a small thing, but believe me it's the little things that matter when you're planning anything at all.

With the Pin It Forward campaign, Pinterest is bringing its focus here to the UK - they've unveiled a ton of cool new features for users this side of the pond, including a new British English language setting (seeing 'colour' spelled with the letter 'u'!) and making UK content more easily searchable. I think it's great that Pinterest isn't standing still even being the huge site that it is!

I like pinning travel ideas and indulging in travel porn (beautiful, perfect, National Geographic-worthy images of places) on my board, Travel and Wanderlust. Right now I'm pinning images for my upcoming trips to Greece France and Poland, but there's also images from when I was planning for my Iceland trip and all sorts of dream-destination type pins there!

Follow The Cheryl Keit Project's board Travel and wanderlust on Pinterest.

Being such a huge community-driven site, Pinterest has boards dedicated to everything from fashion to fancy dyed hair to faraway places. If you'd like, you can check out Katy from Starry Eyed Travels - she has a ton of boards with pins for dream homes and of course travel!

Perhaps you would like to follow me on Pinterest, too? If you're not on Pinterest already, you can sign up here and start following me straightaway!
