I hope you all have the most lovely holiday.
Thank you for being amazing friends, for supporting my dreams, sharing even just a small part of your lives with me and for bringing so much light and joy into my life.
I never feel like I can give back nearly what I am given through this blog but I hope you know that I am always trying.
When I started the blog I did so to help other women and that is still my goal, but somewhere along the way I realized that I was being helped far more than I could possibly be helping in return.
I feel indebted to you.
Always.
I hope my genuine love and appreciation is felt through my posts as much as your love is felt through your words.
{These lovely family photos were taken by Tracy Layne Portraits}
Sending so much love to you and your families!
I’ll see you after the holiday!

December 23, 2013 at 10:47 amCara, I was always afraid to try makeup, because I was terrified that it would look awful. Your blog changed all that, because you’ve made it seem so simple and fun. Thank YOU.

December 23, 2013 at 11:24 amCara, I’m not a blog person, but I discovered yours over a year ago. Your blog is such an uplifting place, and I’ve always felt a little better and inspired after reading your posts. I’ve found myself rooting for you as you’ve found happiness and success along the way. Thank you for being open about past struggles, and positive about the future! I know you’ve helped inspire many women. Thanks for not hiding your light. I hope to meet you one day!
Amanda
December 23, 2013 at 11:27 amp.s. In saying that I’m not a blog person, what I mean is your blog charmed the pants off me SO much (hard thing to do) that I religiously check it very few days and have referred my friends to it. haha 🙂

December 23, 2013 at 12:31 pmI never comment on blogs; However, Cara, I have been reading your blog for about a year and your unfailing enthusiasm, optimism and delight in the fortune of your life shines through my computer screen every post. Your sincerity, generosity and honesty is a delight ( there’s that word again!) – in fact, I think that it is the perfect word to describe you – delightful. I absolutely do not believe in karma (sorry!!) – do believe that we have the capacity to make the most of every situation we find ourselves in – good and bad – your consistent positivity and gung ho, always moving onwards, upwards and forwards is wonderful to see. May you delight in your family and life for evermore.

December 23, 2013 at 12:45 pmWe love you, Cara!!!!!! Seriously. I am sure I speak for all the women here, who feel very supported by you to make us look AND feel our absolute best. Thank you for always sharing everything in such a genuine way. You are truly a diamond in a rhinestone world. Merry Christmas to you and your precious little family!

December 24, 2013 at 8:14 amMerry Christmas! I am one of those who suddenly, as of the last week, CANNOT see any photos. There is no red x or picture icon. There is just nothing there. I’ve always been able to see them but as just a few days ago, they do not appear. I read thru the directions but nothing fits the issue of not seeing anything there. Let me know if there is something else I can do. Thank you!
Nancy
December 24, 2013 at 12:11 pmHi Jennifer,
I have had the same problem not seeing the pictures until I stopped clicking Cara’s blog from my favorites bar and just Googled maskcara.com. I think I may have needed to update my favorite’s bar. Hope this helps.
Jennifer
December 28, 2013 at 6:23 pmThe tip worked great. Now seeing all the great photos—didn’t want to miss a thing. Thank you!
