October 14, 2008 and Tagged advertisers, marketing, twitterI just posted a statement on twitter that I decided I had enough energy about to turn it into a full blown blog post. Let’s back up and tell you where this mini-rant is coming from. I am currently sitting at the New Marketing Summit and I just heard Timothy Young speak about Collective Creativity & Gen Y. When I first read the write up about what Timothy would be… Read more

This is why I’m hot
August 1, 2008 and Tagged ElysaNo I’m not going to bust out with ridiculous lyrics (though chances are you’re already hearing the song in your head) the title of this post is inspired by the theme of NaBloPoMo for the month of August – Hot. The chances of me blogging everyday for the month of August is about negative 12. But I can still take inspiration from this month’s theme. Recently I have been finding… Read more

Who is Happier?
June 17, 2008I’ve debated whether or not to have GenPink be geared specifically to women or keep it more neutral with the occasionally pinkness.

February 6, 2008 and Tagged men vs women, OprahI heard something on Oprah that made me STOP, say “hold up” to myself, hit rewind on the DVR and watch it again. “When a man says no in this culture, it’s the end of the discussion. When a woman says no, it’s the beginning of a negotiation.” – Gavin De Becker (author of The Gift of Fear) – as seen on Oprah’s episode Trusting Your Intuition. Are we really… Read more

In an instant moment
January 30, 2008 and Tagged death, tragedyIn an tiny moment, I am reminded about what is really important in life. I spent most of my day (actually week) stressing about the daunting details of life (work, traffic, laundry, etc.) and in one moment, with one phone call, a cosmic two-by-four just hit me upside the head and said “life is not about laundry”. This awful phone call (that I am still in shock about) was from… Read more

How Much is on Your Plate?
January 20, 2008 and Tagged balance, OprahI’ve noticed that sometimes my life seems to resemble a sitcom, in the aspect that a reoccurring theme continues to present itself. You know how on TV shows, each episode tends to have 1 theme, that all of the characters get to deal with in their own particular way? Sometimes in my life, I continue to get the same message from many different unrelated sources. When this happens I always… Read more

Twenty Something Advice: Make your goals measurable
November 29, 2007 and Tagged goalsA goal without a plan is just a wish. – Antoine de Saint-Exupery Most twenty somethings I know would consider their twenties to be a stepping stone in their life on the path to bigger and better things.

September 20, 2007 and Tagged advice, guestI decided to start a new series called Twenty Something Advice. To start off this series I sent this message to my real life friends – you know the people I have meet face to face.
