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
Today’s post is about the PR package of Pur cosmetics I received. This is in no way sponsored and all opinions are my own. Also, I will always be blatantly honest with you, my readers. 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…

Car phone mount review
Today’s post is a car phone mount review. This will consist of a couple different qualities that I thought would be important to discuss. The quality of the item, the functionality, and appearance. Quality: It seemed sturdy for what it was. The sticky backing of it didn’t seem to last very long. The suction cup portion definitely stuck to windshields and glass. It says it cal stick to most flat surfaces. It doesn’t stick to wood very well. Functionality: It is very useful. I use it all the time. I use the car mount for when I need directions or i just want my phone visible but not in the way…

How I edit my Instagram photos.
Today’s post is how I edit my Instagram photos. The reason I am doing today’s post is because I got a couple of DM’s asking how I edit my photos.

How to Remove Artificial Nails
Today’s post is how to remove artificial nails the correct way. The reason you want to do it the correct way is to keep your natural nail plate healthy. Your nail plate is made up of 100 layers and if you take them off the wrong way you can severely damage the nail plate. Artificial nails are not damaging to the natural nail plate. The first thing is most nail salons use a dermal tool on the nail plate. That is actually not necessary to apply acrylics. 1.) Fill up a glass bowl with acetone nail polish remover. 2.) File the acrylic nail down to be shorter and file some of the…
