Today’s my baby’s 1st birthday!!!
Hmm, no, I don’t have a child I’ve never told you about…
I’m talking about my blog!
You know, Carol in a Page kinda feels like a baby to be… I mean, I created it, I fed it new content to help it grow, I’ve had a few sleepless nights because of it, and it made me kinda proud when because of it I got the chance to work for the über talented Karen on her amazing Makeup and Beauty Blog.
To celebrate this little achievement, I’d like to share with you some of my favorite posts from the past year… You know, in case you need some (hopefully) giggle-inducing reading material over the weekend.
- My New Year’s Eve Party Look and the Eating Habits of Pythons…
- The Next Best Thing After a Burberry Trench Coat
- February 2016: Current Crushes and BIG NEWS
- Afraid of Bronzers? Then the Urban Decay Beached Bronzer in Sun-Kissed Might Be the One for You
- Smith and Cult Nailed Lacquer: A Love Affair
In other news, you may have noticed that I haven’t been very active on here over the past month. I’ve had a lot on my mind and wasn’t in the right mood to write the type of posts I like to write. I usually try to make my personality shine though my writing, and had I written more in June, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have liked what would have shined through.
I’m not sure that made any sense, but anyways, it’s a different month now and I hope I can make it a better one.
I don’t really have the usually monthly favorites to talk about, but I’d like to share with you an eye-lip combo I’ve been wearing a lot lately (which for me is pretty unusual, since I like to change my makeup on a daily basis).
Wearing the NARS Duo Eyeshadow in Isolde on my eyes and the YSL Rouge Pur Couture The Mats in 208 Fuchsia Fetiche on my lips. You may read how I got this natural sun-kissed look on Makeup and Beauty Blog
The NARS Duo Eyeshadow in Isolde and the YSL Rouge Pur Couture The Mats in 208 Fuchsia Fetiche are my all-time favorites in their respective product categories, and I absolutely adore how they look together, especially when paired with a sun-kissed complexion. This was definitely my favorite look in June, and if you follow me on Snapchat (carolinapage), you’ll probably have seen that I even wore it at my mom’s wedding (June’s biggest highlight – it was nice seeing her that happy!).
How was your June? And do you have anything exciting planned for July?

July 2, 2016 at 2:35 pmThe most exciting thing in July is the upcoming move, but not really fun-exciting, more stressful-exciting, I fear.
Other than that: Happy blogoversary. I always feel like you have been around much longer, because your post and pictures are so professional. I guess you just skipped the whole awkward blogging phase.
I hope your mind has cleared and everything came to a positive end, and I can´t wait for many more years of Carol in a Page.

July 2, 2016 at 3:36 pmHappy blog anniversary and wow, has it only been a year? I thought you’ve been flogging for much longer! I do love that eye and lips combo, it’s easy to see why you wear the look a lot, you look radiant.
On to the reason why you’re not as active here, I think that happens to the best of us, that we go through a creative dry spell and hopefully July will be much better for you. xx

July 2, 2016 at 8:24 pmHappy Blog Anniversay, Carolina! Your blog is one of my favorites and I really can’t believe you have been doing it for only a year. You are a total pro!
I hope July is a better month for you and I am looking forward to reading more of your lovely posts!

July 3, 2016 at 11:33 amHappy Blogiversary Carol! You have accomplished so much for your blog and I couldn’t be any more proud of you 🙂 I am loving the lipstick. It reminds me of MAC’s “All Fired Up”. July for me will be eventful. I recently got my engagement photos done and will be seeing them in 2 weeks, and I work at the fair, which will open this Friday, so it’s going to be madness this whole month!

July 3, 2016 at 6:37 pmThank you, Hannah, you’re the sweetest!!! 🙂
All Fired Up is another one of my all-time favorites. It is a little less bright and more matte than the YSL one, but they’re definitely in the same color family.
I’m so curious about your engagements pictures, do you think you’re going to share them on your blog?
Good luck with the fair!

July 3, 2016 at 7:17 pmOnly one year?? This makes me feel SO embarrassed thinking back to how lame my blog was in its first year. I really had no clue. You though? You have all the clues, my friend! Seriously, doing a faaaaab job here!

Celebrate that you’ve made it this far, I remember your 6 months post where you said “most of the blogs don’t last that long” and here you are with your 1 year old baby 🙂

And going through a phase where writing doesn’t come naturally is very understandable, especially if you’ve been going through things in your life. I hope you have an easier time this month!
