Remember the contest deadline is 8 days away people! That new shipment of e.l.f. cosmetics came in today and holy bejeebus I’m so wanting to just keep the prizes to myself lol. Hurry up and submit your entry if you haven’t done so already :)

Just wanted to pop in and let everyone know that I’m now booked up until July. There are so many things going on behind the scenes here at Better in Pink, the contest, new upcoming features, some premades, freebies, and of course there are the projects that I have lined up that I just had to give myself a little window of time to catch up. Hence, the waiting list remains closed. Sorry for the inconvenience!

I’d like to welcome my newest clients, I’m so excited to be working on your projects! Thank you so much for your continued support and interest in my work. It’s so crazy, I’ve been working more hours than ever but I’m the happiest I’ve ever been with my work. Thank you for your hilarious contest entries, and those of you who have not yet submitted your entries…get it crackin! Deadline approacheth.

I hope you all had a fantastic Mother’s Day Weekend, I sure did! The kids and hubby had me skipping all around the house with joy. (Great presents always put a pep in my step ;) I’ll talk to you later, my friends!

And I’ve been listening! So far on the polls it looks like most of you all like your health and beauty products. We have lots in common ;) I’ve added to the prize pool a stash of assorted beauty products from E.L.F. I wanted to wait until my order arrived before I went ahead and posted about it. Anyways, below are just some of the products I’ll be giving away. The cosmetic “bundles” will contain several assorted E.L.F. products. Remember, more prizes WILL be added as I get them! Keep checking back.

It’s a fact; at least 99% of adults today suffer from a severe fun deficiency. Characterized by deepening frown lines, a rusty laugh and a distinct lack of hula hoop skills; this epidemic of gloom is reaching critical levels. Lucky for you, we are here to help you fight back: Better in Pink! introduces our annual DECLARE YOUR LOVE contest! A perfect way to give your company a new look & gain some positive exposure for your business or blog.

This year’s theme is PINK! So, how does it work? Grab some construction paper, an old pizza box or a silk flag, some paint, marker pens and plenty of glitter and make yourself a fancy, super stylish I LOVE PINK! sign. Next, stalk some poor unsuspecting passerby and get a video of yourself persuading them to hold up your dazzling work of art and declare their love for pink. We can’t guarantee anything, but chances are you will both be giggling by the time you are done!

Whether you are a social butterfly or more of a wallflower, this contest is the perfect way to get your very own daily dose of fun… have the chance to win some fabulous prizes & help your business grow at the same time!

 1. Upload (or paste the url to) a short (3 min. or less!) video of yourself walking up to a perfect stranger on the street and convincing them to hold up a sign that says "I LOVE PINK!"
