elysa

Let’s first start with the girl behind this blog … my name is Elysa, I am Community Manager and Professional Geek Girl. I have a wide variety of interests ranging from wine to widgets. I surround myself with pretty things, my friends, artwork, and even my food is pretty (for the most part). I like to browse the web for new and interesting ideas.

I decided to start GenPink for a few reasons. The majority of the blogs I found written by women were “mommy blogs,” since I am not a mom I wanted something a little different. Also, I thought this would be a great venue to share all of my fun findings in one place.

GenPink is about being a twenty something woman. Letting others know how our generation is different than those before us. We are career women, single & married, girl friends, and individuals. There is a delicate balance in being an individual and being part of a support system for your friends, family and your environment. GenPink is about balancing family and work, technology, entertainment, and exploration of new ideas.

weird – i found myself bombarded by mommy blogs myself. I also write a blog for women – well anyone really. Especially as it pertains to hookup culture, self-esteem, etc.

Hear hear for something different, eh?

I found you via Janet at Slice of Pink. I am so not a fan of mommy blogs. Too many of them. And…I am not a mommy! Except to my Pug!

Hi Elysa,

Love your site. Just want to let you know about a new study that Business and Professional Women’s (BPW) Foundation is conducting on Gen Y women in the workplace. We’re exploring Gen Y women’s unique workplace challenges and opportunities for the purpose of developing tools that help employers better recruit, support and retain Gen Y women. If you have 15 minutes, we’d love to hear your perspective. Our national survey will remain open until May 31st – http://bit.ly/j784lo.

I’m in my early 30′s and I still find your site refreshing because even though I am a mom and married, I am also a woman…everything I say and do doesn’t have to be about the kids or my hubby. On your site I can just be me…a woman…who likes pink & pretty things! :)

Thanks 4 this! :)

Hello There,

My name is Lynn
and I’m a Professional Blogger. I have more than 3+ yrs of experience writing
for the web and have covered plenty of interesting topics.

I came across
your blog and was wondering if you would be interested in allowing me to write
relevant & useful topics on your blog at no cost.

At this point of my writing career, I simply
want to get more visibility for my writing and I will write for free as long as
you are fine with me adding a small author bio section following the blog post
about myself.

Please let me
know if you are interested and if you’d like for me to submit a sample blog
post for your approval.

Thanks a bunch,

Lynn
