    Two years of blogging

    Hey, Everyone, this is what I’ve learned in two years of writing on Cara Lynn’s blog aka Caralynn.co You have your own writing style. You can’t copy someone else’s writing style. Well, you can but you’re not going to gain traction like that. What I mean is that when you receive traction on your blog you aren’t going to be your “true” self. You are putting up a wall between yourself and your readers. Always take your own photos. It may be more work for you but I as a reader don’t like seeing the same photo on 5 different lifestyle blogs. It’ll take practice to get the editing and photo…

    Pur cosmetics

So here we go… I was kindly sent this and am in no way required to write about it. First, this is the hydrating eye gel. This is actually one of my favorite things I received. It makes my rather dry eye feel less dry and more awake. This is an amazing light weight product. Right now it’s a staple in my skincare routine. If you want a skin care something or other, let know down in…

    Vacation at Lake Norman

    Hello, I had an awesome trip to Vacation at Lake Norman which is outside of Charlotte. You’ll know I stayed in AirBnB. I have a Vacation House review/just casual letting you know about it. You can read it here. We stayed there from Thursday, July 6th  til Sunday, July 9th. It was mere feet from the lake. It had a dock to watch the most amazing sunsets and sunrises from. Thursday I had to go to school before I headed up to the AirBnB. So I left for the lake house around 11 am. Eventually, I stopped in Laurinburg to get Arby’s and gas. I got a french dip and curly fries…
