2015 has been quite an incredible year for many of us. At GenPink, we’ve formed new friendships, experienced many new brands who align with our personal and career goals and attended a slew of fashion, charity and fitness events. I’ve aggregated 10 posts from Dallas-area bloggers (and one national blogger) to share with you below. Enjoy the reads!

I met Mai Lyn of Deep Fried Fit earlier this year at several free workout classes throughout town.

Career tips
I’ve been following the Corporette blog ever since I graduated college. The author Kat Griffen publishes this blog for women in the workplace and “overachieving chicks.” She covers a wide range of topics such as having a work/life balance, trying out new office attire, and guide to interviewing. One of my favorite posts is office party etiquette.

Denise Johnson, her husband and I all met in our early college days. So when I found out Denise launched a blog shortly after college, I was so excited for her. She even help start up an exclusive group for Dallas bloggers to collaborate on projects and find out about upcoming lifestyle and fashion events. I’ve picked up a few makeup tips lately from Denise on her blog Beauty and the Pleats. Here are some time-saving beauty hacks we can all benefit from.
Advice and fun for Gen-Y women
My blogger colleague and editor Elysa Ellis writes a variety of lifestyle posts for GenPink, a blog she started more than eight years go! Of the recent posts she’s written, I enjoyed reading about her advice on how to host a swap party. The event is an economical way to clean out your closet while having a party with your friends!
