A Cardin is a sarcastic talented girl. She is very loyal to her close friends. A Cardin always catches a guys eye. A Cardin is usually a red head and loves to put herself out there. Even though a Cardin might not think she is pretty she is beautiful inside and out. She is very outgoing and has a very big sweet tooth. She is never afraid to be herself and loves to sing wherever she goes. If you a Cardin in your life don’t loose her!
