Hello y’all and welcome to my page! My name is Kara & I’m a thirty-something living in Orlando, Fl. I’ve been a lifestyle photographer for eight years now, but if you asked me back then if I would have started my own blog, it wouldn’t even have crossed my mind. I always told myself maybe one day I’ll work for a fashion magazine and see my work on the cover. Little did I know that eight years later I would be taking my own self portraits.
I started this blog because I have always been asked how & why did I start taking professional photos of myself. It’s so much easier to do it on your own when you can be your own photographer, model, makeup/hair & fashion stylist. I wanted to express my creative outlet for inspiring models & photographers. This blog will express the way I love photography and where I find very affordable clothing. Also there will be section for my love of traveling, and tips on the best things to do in that location. I’m excited to share with you my journey.
Being inspired by traveling to The Keys, Owners Dani & Len Johnson started Better Than Sex in Key West in 2008. In 2010 Better Than Sex was featured on the Travel Channel which increased their exposure that by 2012 the owners knew the small restaurant in Key West needed a bigger location. One month after opening their second restaurant, I was working for Orlando Weekly Magazine at the time and was asked to be the promo model for their grand opening. Since then I grew a wonderful friendship with Owners Dani & Len Johnson, Managing Partner Tia Marquinez, General Manager/Kitchen Manager Jordan Wilson & all the other staff members.
Need to get something special for Mother’s Day? Brighten up and learn what makes the new Counter+ All Bright C Serum a potent addition to your skincare routine! I use this every morning followed by the CounterStart Moisturizer. It brightens skin, protects against & reduce appearance of dark spots, minimizes look of lines & wrinkles, evens skin tone, supports natural collagen production, and it has antioxidant protection.
My skin has been living it’s best life these days because of quarantine and I am going to start sharing some of my beauty and makeup secrets with Beautycounter! Nothing like the deep clean skin detox you get with the Balancing Charcoal Mask, especially during these times at home. Just ten minutes of use, this activated charcoal mask purifies and balances, absorbing excess oil and drawing out impurities. Simply apply an even layer to clean skin, (I use a flat brush for even application), let dry for ten mins and then rinse throughly with warm water.
This targeted eye cream is designed to revitalize the eye area for a youthful, brighter appearance. Our plant-derived Retinatural Complex and Persian silk tree extract help reduce the appearance of underage shadows and crow’s feet for a smooth, firmed look. These also help me not get puffy, kept my eye area hydrated and even brightened them! For more information on wanting to buy the Countertime Ultra Renewal Eye Cream & Eye Revive
