Caitlin could never have predicted the success of her blog. She said on her website that she never intended to turn Southern Curls & Pearls into a money-making website, let alone an entire career. Caitlin admitted that she initially wanted to work for a magazine after college.
“I wasn’t prepared to fall head over heels in love with blogging,” Caitlin said. “It ignited a passion within me for so many different things! I found out that I loved photography in addition to writing, and it was fun to share recipes and fashion, as well as talk about sorority life.”
After college, Caitlin got a job in public relations. However, her blog continued to grow until she couldn’t balance the two. Caitlin “took a leap of faith” and moved back to Charlotte to blog full time, according to her website.

Caitlin met Chris shortly after she moved to Greenville, North Carolina for her first “big girl job,” according to her website. Now, they live in Winston Salem, North Carolina with their two cats and teacup Goldendoodle.
“I met Chris 18 days after moving, although I wasn’t interested in him at first (haha). Chris pursued me and convinced me to go on a lunch date with him, which he called “harmless” and the “friend zone.” After that first date, I was a goner! I fell for him quickly.”
