I thought this palm print maxi dress was fitting for this Friday’s post, since my family is heading to the beach this weekend! We are going to a new beach we haven’t been to before, and the best part is that the dogs get to come along with us (I have a teacup golden doodle, Winnie, and my mom has a bichon, Lilly). Just wait ’til you guys see what article of clothing I ordered for the dogs – haha! I can’t wait to lay out on the beach Saturday and work on a puzzle book (my favorite thing to do at the beach).
Anyway, my birthday is Sunday and I’m going to be doing a Q&A post to answer any questions you guys have! You have already left some amazing questions on yesterday’s blog post about the wedding and when Chris and I plan to start a family! Leave your question in the comment section below and I’ll answer them all in Monday’s post 🙂
HAPPY WEEKEND!!!

Love this dress! My question: Did you and Chris do any kind of premarital counseling? If so, what did you think? Was it worth it? Was it a waste of time?
I want you to do a blog of how you style your hair… from start to finish. It always looks so amazing, so full.
Caitlin, I love your Q&A posts. I would encourage you to use this opportunity to advise people NOT to ask when you plan to start a family. It's such a personal question, a HUGE assumption, and even if the person DOES have a plan of trying for children soon, anyone might have trouble conceiving or carrying a baby. A more helpful response might be sample platitudes you can give nosy people asking this question, especially when it's someone to whom you need to be polite such as a relative!
Agreed
I love the palm print dress Cait! Can't wait to read your Q&A post! 🙂
Happy Friday!

Curious about your mom's "mother of the bride" dress. I'm sure she looked gorgeous!
I have too many questions haha. Ok first, what is your go to protein bar/snack bar if you have one? Second, what is your weekly workout routine?
Love everything with palm prints!
1. Do you have a favorite season or time of the year that you enjoy dressing up for?
2. Is there a particular source (i.e. Fashion magazines, Pinterest, etc.) that you draw inspiration from for creating your outfits?
3. Do you sell your clothes anywhere after you’re finished wearing them?
I don't even know if you CAN answer this…but I think the biggest question I have is HOW do you store all of your clothing?! Or do you even keep everything that you showcase on your blog?! Do you keep your favorites and return the rest? I have a hard time rotating the amount of clothes that I currently own…I can't imagine having a new outfit for practically every day of the year and getting good use out of it all. I've seen you repeat SOME clothing items but a lot of them not! Shoes and accessories are different of course…
Your hair! I need to know how you keep it so healthy. It looks so thick, does it take a long time to curl? Do you have any tips for curling your hair quickly?
I haven't found someone who's said they enjoy doing puzzle books in a while! They're so fun, however, and can keep me occupied forever. I never thought of bringing one to the beach surprizingly enough! I will have to do that next time though. A question I have is, "if you could create one thing through your blog what would it be?" Okay, to clarify, there are bloggers who create books, or clothing or makeup lines, recipe books, etc. What would you create if you could and it could be anything! Btw, I love the detailing on the bag. Happy Friday Caitlin 🙂

Hi Caitlin! I absolutely love your style – and congratulations on your beautiful wedding, newlywed! Can you give a us a sneak peek into your time management – and your home organization (like makeup)? Do you keep a planner to organize all of your commitments? And also, will you share a "messy moment"? Your photos are absolutely perfect but maybe one messy outtake would be fun too! All the best! xoxo!
Thank you!
How do you get so much volume at your roots? Do you use any products or do you have a specific routine? Your hair is just so perfect all the time 😍
?What did you struggle with the most when you first began blogging?
How long does it take for you to go from wet naturally curly hair to dry wavy shiny hair? 😉
What is your natural hair texture (just for reference, curious about how your routine would work on my hair!)
Hi Caitlin, Could u share your skincare routine for morning and night and what products to use at a affordable price? Thank you.
Would you be willing to talk about Botox or enhancements you’ve had done to your face? I feel like you’ve evolved to be even more beautiful over the past year or two. Most readers who are your age or older and starting to think about cosmetic work and would love to hear your story!
Hi Caitlin,
Will you and your mom be shopping the Nordstrom sale? Your reviews(and hers) are my favorite! Thanks
Hope you have an amazing birthday weekend.

Have a happy birthday!!!
Caitlin, love reading your blog. A couple of questions. the interior of you SUV is beautiful…what is the make and model?.. inspiration for bridesmaid ideas…. How did you ask your girls???? What gifts did you give them? Your wedding was beautiful…Bridesmaid post??????. I loved all of the pictures… thanks for sharing. Enjoy the beach.
Hey Caitlin! Happy early birthday! I would love to know how you keep your editorial calendar for your blog and social posts to keep everything in order? Do you prefer digital planners or paper?
Love this dress! I would love to see a blog post about driving traffic to your website using Pinterest, as well as affiliate programs! 🙂
Hi Caitlin! Congrats on your wedding! I love your style and blog! I am wondering what camera + lense you use to take your blog and travel photos? Thanks and have a very happy brithday!
questions for your Q&A: 1) What are you most proud of (could be within blogging or personal like buying a home, etc)? 2) What do you dislike most abut blogging? Is it tiring having to take photos most everyday? 3) How did you come up with southerncurlsandpearls as your blog name?
Love your blog! You have a lot of beautiful designer bags. Did you pay full price for them or were you sponsored? Can you write off clothes purchases for your blog on your taxes as business expenses? I always look forward to your posts! Keep up the great work!
Yes to this question! I can't seem to find one solid answer! I'd love to know more about the business side of blogging and can send some questions if you're willing to devote a whole post to this Caitlin! I'd actually like to get to know you more so maybe a '10 Things You Didn't Know About Me' post too?

Do you have a tutorial on how you do your top bun like in Thursday’s post? My hair is long like yours and it always falls down. Thanks!
I LOVE how you edit your Instagram photos and would love to hear what editing apps you use for cell phone photos. Do you post mainly photos taken on your cell phone or a DSLR when sharing images on Instagram.
Thanks,
Megan
I have one more question: what is your name on goodreads ? I would love to follow you and your reading !!!
Hi Cait how was your debut as a blogger looked like?
How did you meet Chris?!
Hey girl! I have always wondered where you get your inspiration from and also what your hubby does for a living? Thanks! P.S your honeymoon looked like such a dream!
Do you keep all your outfits featured on your blog and instagram? If not, do you sell them? if so, where? Do you donate them instead?
thanks!
Hi Caitlin! I currently live in FL and would love to move to SC. What cities/ areas would you recommend us looking into?
Hi Caitlin! Can you recommend a good heat protectant? I cannot seem to find one that works well and isn’t sticky/stiff!
Hi Caitlin! I love every picture you post! The pictures are always so clear and vibrant. I was wondering what app and filters you use and if you use your phone camera to take most of your pictures? Thank you!
Such a cute print dress!

Do you ever have days when you feel blah? I think you always look so pretty and dressed so beautifully. I just wondered if you ever have those days where you don't like your hair (I can't imagine that – lol) or skin, etc.
Such a pretty dress Caitlin! Y'all looked like you had an amazing time at the beach! Happy belated Birthday!

Thanks for considering a Q&A blog! I am considering doing a style blog myself. What dos and don'ts could you share on someone who is at the infancy stages? All suggestions/ best practices would be immensely appreciated!! You are so thoughtful to take the time to help us "wanna be's" out. 😀
Keep smiling!
What kind of beach towels did you bring on your honeymoon? Thanks! <3 PS so happy for you!
Hi Caitlin! How did you propose to your bridesmaids?? I'm so curious!
Are you going to/have you changed your last name?
Would love an updated hair routine! Do you use hairspray? Also, always love makeup and other products that you use. 🙂
