Welcome to Pins and Procrastination!
Thank you so much for visiting! Pins and Procrastination is devoted to sharing fun pinterest-worthy projects that range from craft tutorials and DIY projects to homemade green cleaning recipes. Whether it’s my buttery and luxurious DIY aloe vera face moisturizer, or an easy tutorial on how to make your own citronella candles, all these projects will show you just how fun and easy it is to get a little hands on!
My name is Susie and I’m a pinterest-addict, and I write this blog! I’m a 20-something chicagoland native just trying to make my life a little more creative. If you want to learn a little more about me, I’ve got a whole page devoted to it.
Most of the tutorials on my blog are inspired by pinterest- and they’re my favorite way to procrastinate. I post projects that I think are easy, fun, and useful so that you can do them at home and feel a little productive while you procrastinate!
So what’s it all about?
Most of my posts are inspired by pinterest. Although I focus most on tutorials and recipes for you to make, I also dabble in writing about other topics I think you will enjoy.
Everything I write generally falls into one of these categories:
Do away with harmful chemicals and make your cleaning products yourself! It’s better for your health, and it will save you money.

The chemicals in your beauty products can be more harmful than you would ever expect. It’s fun, cheap, and easy to make products for yourself at home.

I’ve heard before that every hour of organizing saves you 6 hours of looking for things- and I’ve found this to be completely true! I love organizing around my house and making it as functional as possible.
I’ve been gluten free for several years with a mild case of celiac. I love experimenting with cooking easy recipes, and if they turn out great, I share them with you! I also try out a paleo recipe from time to time, so I share the best ones as well!
