Many of you guys are probably already familiar with Cara Van Brocklin. If you have no idea who Cara Van Brocklin is, she is a 26-year-old fashion blogger from Utah.

Van Brocklin is already taking the Internet by storm. She has over 700,000 followers on Instagram and almost 50,000 YouTube subscribers. And if that's not impressive enough, Van Brocklin and her famous blogger friends, Christine Andrew and Mary Seng, all sat front row with for Tommy Hilfiger and Gigi Hadid's fashion show in Venice Beach, California, just a few weeks ago.

Van Brocklin is also a mother of two adorable little boys. Her oldest son, Hanes, was born on October 28, 2011, and her youngest son, Arrow, was born on July 30, 2014. Hanes and Arrow both frequently appear on her Instagram page.

Did I mention that her husband, Brody, is one of the hottest men alive? Here's some photographic evidence that proves my point.

But Cara Van Brocklin is more than just an Instagram celebrity. In fact, her life is a lot similar to the lives of most 20-something girls.

For those of you who don't know a whole lot about Cara Van Brocklin, she and her husband are college sweethearts. They met at Weber State University, which is located in Ogden, Utah. When they first met, which was at Weber's Purple and White basketball game, Brody was a senior on the school's basketball team and Cara was a freshman on the dance team. Brody was also good friends with many of Cara's dance teammates.

Brody and Cara were both set up by a man named Dave. Dave was one of Brody's teammates and best friends, and he came back from an overseas trip and got a new phone. So to pull a prank on Brody, Dave told him that he had Cara's number. Brody was giddy with excitement, but what he didn't realize was that Cara's "number" was actually Dave's new number. One Halloween party and many Facebook messages later, Brody finally had Cara's phone number. They dated and became an official couple shortly after their first meeting. They were married at the Salt Lake Temple in Salt Lake City on June 19, 2009.

Cara's life has been filled with many happy moments, but she also had to deal with a couple of scary moments. For example, when she delivered Hanes, he wasn't breathing right away because of the way his umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck. She didn't see him immediately after his birth, but thankfully he is still a happy and healthy boy. For Arrow, he was slightly blue after birth due to the pressure of Cara's water breaking before she delivered him. He is also a very happy and healthy little boy.

From appearing front-row at Gigi Hadid's fashion shows to having a profile in the Huffington Post, Cara Van Brocklin can do it all. Rather than being labeled as an Instagram "goal," Cara is truly a real-life inspiration for us all.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
