"For every phase of a woman's life...there is a shade of pink."

About Us

Shades of Pink Magazine -- it’s all about us – women! We celebrate the accomplishments, strengths, wisdom, and grace of women of all ages.

After 20 years in publishing – health & wellness and real estate newspapers, it was time for me to “do the dream”. Shades of Pink came from a longing to do what I believed was a necessary part of the evolutionary process – the “coming of age” if you will. With that in mind, we developed a website that is diverse in every way – a vehicle for the not-for-profit organizations to use us for their programs/auctions/fund raisers. The fun side by offering products and services to our visitors and so much more!

Our print publication reaches 20,000 women along the First Coast of Florida. It is our hope that information available on our website will be a resource for women of all ages…be a mentor to others and embrace every phase of a woman's life .... family, relationships, faith & inspiration, financial/investments, fitness, travel, home décor and so much more. Articles focus on all aspects of life, which are represented by our different shades of pink in a woman's life.

Our "community giving" programs are a huge focus for our company. During these strained economic times, many organizations will not be receiving as much as they may have in the past and we are giving a percentage of our advertising dollars to a number of organizations including cancer programs for survivors as well as Habitat for Humanity, to mention a few.

AND on the light side – there's IrreveRANT Rita. There’s no telling what she will say or do!

Let's not forget that there's the "flip-side" articles about the man’s perspective from time-to-time. Should be interesting.

Shades of Pink Magazine is here to listen, inspire, inform and make a difference in communities and through every phase of a woman's life – whatever her shade of pink. We are blessed as a nation and a community and we thank you for your consideration.
