The Latest
May has officially kicked my butt. You hear that May? You WIN! WON! (whatever!) I am just getting around to contacting the winners of the contest, and writing up my post about it. Slowly but surely I’m catching up on all the emails and quote requests that have been coming in as well. I’ve been working on providing new content for the site so that there is more information where you need it regarding my availability, pricing, and I’ll be adding some articles to the very neglected resources area as well.
This month I will be mainly focusing on my current projects *waves hi to Recipe Girl, Wendy from Sacred Moment Weddings and Heidi from HJ Photography* As well as tying up some loose ends from some of my previous projects *waves hi to Kat and Robyn* I’m also hoping to be able to get started on design concepts for my contest winners. *waves hi to Molly, Erin and Kat again* And, you know the usual toddler chasing, teen chauffering, mom and wife stuff I do on the down low ;)
This all to say, that if you have been getting a slow response from me the past couple of weeks it’s all MAY’s FAULT. June is here, and that means that school is almost over, and that means that soon, very soon I will have my babysitters, err daughters back to help out a bit while I get some work done. Right? Right? Ok. I need to go do some Yoga. Or something.
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!"
