Holiday Gift Guides with Pinterest

You might have already heard/seen that sfgirlbybay and pinterest are teaming up to help you with your holiday gift ideas this year — and I started my own holiday guide, too! It’s not specifically targeted towards anyone, but I hope it helps… :) I’m still pinning away everyday so please check back often!

((Actually, I don’t mind receiving any of them so this is my gift guide / wish list :D ))

Also, check out Victoria’s lovely gift guide, Ben’s Gifts for girlfriends and Sam’s gifts for the designer dude for more ideas. If you created your own, please let me know in the comment section so I can check it out, too!

Happy Holiday Shopping!! xo Hijiri

What Home Means To Me (Pin it Forward)

As I mentioned before, lovely Victoria from sfgirlbybay and pinterest team are launching an another great event called “pin it forward” today and I couldn’t be more proud to be the one of the first 10 bloggers to start!

and the theme is “What home means to me” — and here is my pinboard

I realized since I moved to NYC and started my own freelance work, home became not only sleep, relax, cook and eat, but also work and create. Be inspired and imaginative. Be creative and innovative.

(Craft nook via you are my fave)

Also, as I have lots of collection of things, which make me happy, think and remember, home means where I keep all my favorite things, display them in my own way and enjoy.

and never ending quest to me… Always looking for the perfect something for the home… and I enjoy that process, and when you do find something that you love, how great the feeling is and you get to live with it!

and the list goes on and on… please see more at my pinboard! I think I will keep adding more since home means A LOT to me, I would never be done with my board… :)

Pin it Forward

Lovely Victoria at sfgirlbybay is doing it again, this time, it is called “Pin it Forward“! If you participated/followed the 1st blogger mash up “blog it forward,” you would know how fun and inspiring that was (see my post here!), and this time it’s with pinterest — a visual bookmarking site, where you can save images you find while browsing the web and organize them into collections. I’m one of the lucky ones who get to try this from their early stages and I must admit that it is awesome!! See my pinboards here for example and I would suggest signing up to “pin it forward” right now!!! Spaces are very limited!!!

I hope that you do :)
