Ummm…if Carolyn Pinson from Always Against the Grain isn’t babe town x a bill, then I don’t know what is.
She’s got rocking style & a badass, sexy blog. Naturally I was immediately drawn to her style because it’s not typical— the girl has her own look going on. Love it, right?! Different= cool in my book.
Ok, so kick back, grab a glass of vino, & enjoy Carolyn Pinson:
|| + Hi! Introduce yourself. ||
Carolyn Pinson: My name is Carolyn Pinson. I live in Columbus Ohio & I’m a personal style blogger. I have a great love for fashion, but also love to travel & work out! Staying fit and eating right is a very important part of my life.
I also enjoy walking in local fashion shows & currently I’m pursuing modeling for online shopping websites.
|| Lil skinny tip? ||
CP: Cut out carbs, no alcohol, &/or sugar, Sweat as much as possible & track calories with the Live Strong App on the iPhone.
|| Ok, so your bod is rocking…spill your weekly workout schedule! ||
CP: My weekly workout schedule consists of running three to four times per week & doing hot yoga at least four times per week at Harbor Yoga studio. The hot yoga is not your average yoga class. It can last up to an hour & half and the room is 95 degrees…it’s hardcore cardio yoga to upbeat music.
|| + Healthy food obsession? ||
CP: My favorite healthy go to food is kale! Love it! Kale salads, smoothies, and I even put it on my pizza ; ).
|| Cocktail pick? ||
CP: My cocktail of choice is usually a glass of Chardonnay. But If I’m going to slurge and have more than one drink I go for a vodka soda.
|| Can’t live without beauty product? ||
CP: My can’t live without beauty product is my Clarasonic face brush. I use it every morning and night. It helps with fine lines and wrinkles! Plus my face is 1000 x cleaner.
|| Fashion blogger tip? ||
CP: Looking good for the camera is all about knowing what looks good on you & what works with your body. Also, the right lighting is key!
|| Favorite natural remedy? ||
CP: Every night before bed I use Emu Oil on my face. It’s 100% natural and has anti aging, moisturizing, & anti-inflammatory properties.
|| WTF in your handbag? ||
CP: My purse consists of Chapstick ( I’m obsessed ), an array of lip glosses, almonds, sunglasses, gum, & of course dark chocolate.
|| Top five favorite outfits lately? ||
CP: My top 5 spring fashion pieces are:
2.} The Stone Cold Fox Majismo pant
3.} Stone Cold Fox x Luv AJ belt
4.} Sheer tunic dress from Spell Designs
|| + Quick, lil recipe? ||
CP: My quick go to healthy recipe is Greek yogurt, with organic raw oats, organic dark chocolate chips, & a little bit of all natural almond butter— mix together & it seriously tastes like cookie dough. Yum!

Another fabulous blogger interview and now another fun blog to read! Especially since she’s a fellow Ohioan 😀
That off-the-shoulder white dress is pretty out of control. I’d rock it anywhere and everywhere.
Still, giving up grains is something I’m not prepared to do. I eat a ton of Japanese food/always have a pot of brown rice in my kitchen. Thanks for the post!
I never thought of keeping dark chocolate in my purse for an on-the-go craving! Great idea!!
Such a fan of both of your blogs and so happy to see a fellow Columbus blogger featured here! Congrats Carolyn! You both are healthy and fun living inspiration!
So great to see someone from my city featured on your site!
New blog to love/follow! SO cute. Love her style. ♥
Love love your blog
The pictures are amazing.
Great job.
