Everyone Has An #Archetype… #WhatsYours ? Share For A Chance To Win A $50 Visa Gift Card

We all have an archetype. Whether creative, rebellious, athletic, or a caregiver (or one of 8 other archetypes), there are definitely patterns to who we are and what we love. Archetypes.com is a new personalized lifestyle platform that can help you discover and share what you love through a personal filter called archetypes.

Moms are busy, and we can’t sit in front of our computer all day searching for information and products we need. Archetypes features everything from Manic Monday recipes to style picks to help make life easier, by delivering curated suggestions right to you, based on what other people like you love and are sharing on their It’s ME board.

It turns out I am a creative intellectual and visionary. That sounds right to me.

It’s so ME!

When I find anything online that speaks to me, on Archetypes.com or elsewhere, I can save it on my It’s ME board with a little bookmarklet on my navigation bar. It collects the things I love onto a virtual vision board for me to have and keep and refer to when I want. Anyone who fits my profile will benefit from my suggestions- it’s a sort of trading of great sites, articles, shopping, etc between like-minded virtual friends.

Its me

Because I took the quiz, the general recommended content will be tailored for me but I can also jump over and peek at what is being recommend for the Royal type, the Advocate, etc. if I’m curious. It’s definitely better than getting recommendations from well-meaning people who just don’t really get me.

I love everything on my Daily ME page, like life hacks (tricks to make life easier in ways I never thought of before) and DIY ideas. I actually google things like that all the time, and don’t mind having it delivered right to my Daily ME page for me, tailored to my personality type. I’m actually finding that despite having almost three evenly matched archetypes, I love everything especially from the Creative section.
