So, let’s be honest. I’ve been less than diligent with this blog in mid-late 2009 — as occurs with most blogs I presume. Since my 2009 resolution was to start a blog, I find it only fitting that one my 2010 resolutions is to manage it better.
I am going to put some time into really thinking about the purpose of this blog and a strategy for managing it regularly in addition to my 60 hour a week job. 
I am open to suggestions. I feel like Pink Ink Blog could be so much more than just sharing cool pink items I find on the Web. I live, breathe and exude pink — and really want to find more ways to share that with all of you.
Pink Ink Blog may begin with pink office supplies, but I know it can go so much farther. So, here’s to 2010 and more/better Pink Ink than you saw in 2009.
Today is my 25th birthday, a quarter of a century. With birthdays come presents, and this year mine came with 25 small gifts from my mom.
I’m not gonna lie, mom’s not always right on the bulls-eye with gift giving for me…which is understandable considering I have lived many states away for about 5 years now. So when I saw a large box arrive in my cubicle this morning, I got to thinking it wasn’t a check.
After opening the box and card, it was clear mom took some extra time this year and bought me 25 fun and special gifts for my 25th bday. I thought it was only appropriate that I take a comparable amount of time saying “thanks” and sharing my awesome gifts with all of you.
Not sure if mom was reading my blog, or squeezing my bro & sis-in-law for info…but she was right on with MOST of the gifts. I also feel the need to point out how she wrapped every piece (something I like to do when giving gifts) just because unwrapping stuff is fun.
Check out the great gifts below – many of which may appear as #pinkpicks in weeks to come.
Anyway, just wanted to take this opportunity to say, thanks ma. 
So, I just got glasses, and then realized what better accessory to go with them than a matching USB drive? Too bad this isn’t pink. Thank goodness for Fred Flare.
I love pengawins…but I also love monkeys. And especially if they’re pink. The Container Store says these are perfect for a bathroom or kid’s room — but I’m thinking the office is the most appropriate place. I can totally picture these hooked onto an office door or cubicle wall with a blazer hanging off of it. If I had photoshop, I’d totally mock it up…but I don’t.
If you’re lucky, international travel is a part of your job. Mine, not so much at the moment, but who knows! And when that day comes, I’ll want to be ready to travel in style with this cute passport cover.
See Jane Work has a lot of really adorable things right now, and this is only one of them. However, at $21 bucks, it’s a little pricey. But then again, who can put a price on cuteness?
Today, our Chief Creative Officer told me about this AMAZING YouTube video that is nearing 300,000 views. It’s a parody to Miley Cyrus’ Party In The USA single (my fave song right now btw), and it’s possibly the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.
Well, Joe, our Studio Manager heard the chaos and wanted to know what was so funny. When I walked over to his desk to show him the video, I noticed he horded binder clips (like I do). And then I saw that he had 2 of my most favorite binder clips ever. These are the teeny-tiny ones. See photo below for comparison to the typical “small” binder clip.
Thanks, Joe. That was very nice.
Thank god for Jennifer needing gas, and the BP in Quincy, FL for having these surprisingly cute sunglasses. $13 later, I’m relieved.
This weekend we’re out in Destin for a AAF District 7 and 4 Conference. Packed pretty well and thought I had everything. So, we left at 5:30 am and now, as the sun is rising I realize I left my pink zebra print sunglasses at home. I’m completely devistated.
The photo below is what I will NOT be looking like in Destin this weekend. (tear).
I love this #PinkPick, although it is a bit out of my budget. This adorable lamps are designed by Peter Strathis.
From Uncommon Goods. Enjoy all.
I was reading my recent edition of Real Simple and came across the ad below…
…It got me thinking, why is pepto pink?
I’m leaving this one open to all my loyal readers. Comment away.
Here, I’ll get you started… Pepto is pink because it is a southing color that makes you feel better before even drinking any of the medicine.
Now your guys’ turn.
