Welcome to I am Cara and You Are Not—the unapologetically quirky, random corner of the internet where glitter meets grit, and everyday life comes with a generous side of sparkle. This is not a business blog or a wellness blog; it’s just me—the emotional, creative, and occasionally ridiculous human behind Rooted in Bloom—spilling my thoughts, stories, poems, and whatever else my wonderfully weird brain decides is worth sharing.

Here, you’ll find bursts of silliness, deep dives into feelings (because I have a lot of them), and probably more sparkle references than strictly necessary. Speaking of sparkle—yes, the blog banner is animated, glittery, and a little over-the-top, because why be ordinary when you can glitter a little? If Esthetician’s Day Off is my skincare-and-muscle-loving side, and The Hormonal Mama is my empathetic, hormone-wrangling side, then I am Cara and You Are Not is the side that wears fuzzy socks with sequins, cries at commercials, sings to the dog, and laughs at my own jokes.

One of three blogs under the Rooted in Bloom umbrella, this personal, off-duty sibling is where I show up as 100% Cara: quirky, emotional, creative, a healer at heart, and always ready to find the humor in life’s weird little corners. So buckle up, bring your sense of humor, and remember my unofficial tagline: “Read at your own risk!”
