5 Reasons You Should Guest Blog + Call for Entries

This year will be seven years since I launched Genpink (and 3 since the launch of my food blog). In those seven years I’ve had over 70 contributors.

Sometimes you wanna go…

You know the Cheers song… “sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name.” Have you ever felt the opposite?

Playing catch up (not ketchup)

I have a confession dear freaders. Since I got my iPhone, I have not had much of a desire to sit down at my computer while I am at home. Translation = my emails come directly to me, so I haven’t been opening my personal laptop *at all* for a few weeks, which also means […]
