		<description>Okay you make feel guilty, I started 31 days to better blog and hit a road block on day 1 coming up with the elevator pitch. You give me inspiration that I am going to join this challenge with you. 

Now to you. I like the elevator pitch but remember that the pitch is also to be used if someone, friend, family PR, or product manager asked you &quot;what is your blog about.&quot; The elevator pitch should answer that question. 

The long pitch is good but could be tightened up. To someone&#039;s else point. you dont have to explain why you chose the name. The last line about what your blog is about is should be shorter and more concise.</description>

		<description>I like the sound of the word &quot;savior&quot; LOL! 

I used to be a lot more personal before as well. I got so busy with all the &quot;stuff&quot; that I kind of lost a little of what I originally wrote about. Trying to get back to that, but it&#039;s harder than it seems! But I really do like social media, public relations, and writing about all the products we use and love, so I&#039;m not sure if I&#039;ll ever get that personal again.

Now to your post. I think changing your tagline to mom is a great idea! It adds a certain warmth to it, KWIM? For your long pitch, I&#039;d take out the part about what you love about NYC. You&#039;re trying to sell your blog, remember? Not New York City. I think saving that for a special part of your About page would be better. Or maybe even create a dedicated &quot;I heart NY&quot; page with links to your favorite posts about it, and your favorite places/photos?

Thanks so much for participating in this challenge!</description>

		<description>I think you should put a strike mark through the words &quot;trying to&quot; and replace with &quot;surviving.&quot; Because, you are, in fact, surviving! Plus, I just like strikethroughs and think they are fun! =)</description>
