In case you are not familiar with the CaraBox Exchange is, head over to
KAITLYN's blog and see what it's all about. This was my first time participating and I had been wanting to for months and months but never joined in until now.
This season's theme was shine and also this time around, everyone was paired up with someone from their own state. So I sent my box to a lovely girl named Cassie who actually lives here in the same city as me. So I got lucky and could physically drop off my package to her which was also sort of neat to make a friend who lives close by. She is not a blogger [but a former blogger].
My other swap partner is Chloe and she blogs over at
all that good stuff. She was who sent a package to me. I received it the other day and was very excited to open it. So here is what was in my box from her:
:::: The Break Down ::::
1. a travel mug that reads "hello gorgeous" & has an attached mirror. too cute! now i'll always have an excuse to look at myself
2. maybelline baby lips limited edition lip balm in quenched & peach kiss
3. A beautiful hard cover journal with lots of pages to jot down my thoughts in.
4. A starbucks gift card. since i have never had, nor ever tried, coffee in my life, maybe this will be an excuse to finally cross that one off my list sometime.
5. sally hansen salon effects polish strips in glitz blitz. i am so excited to give these a go. the glitter totally screams to me "wear me, i'm shiny!" LOL
6. sinful colors nail polish in thimbleberry. I put this color on and it is a very nice, rich coral color. a very summer, flowery feel to it.
7. an inspirational magnet to put up on the fridge for those moments when I need a little pick-me-up.
So thank you Chloe for a wonderful box and a lot of great goodies to use up now! Can't wait to join back up again in the future.
what awesome gifts. I love the mug and the notepad. :D
ReplyDeleteThat mug is too cute! And I'm just like you, I've never had Starbucks coffee before..just not my thing! You got an awesome CaraBox!
ReplyDeleteHey! Thanks for commenting on my cara box post. Your box looks like it was pretty good too. I could definitely use a coffee thermos. I need one that's spillproof enough to stick in my bag if I have to. Glad you liked your first time with cara!
ReplyDeleteI have had coffee before, but it wasn't anything special. You are not missing much.
ReplyDeleteI just have never had any desire to try coffee before. not even coffee flavored iced cream. But since I have the gift card, I may be able to see if there is something I may like :)
ReplyDeleteA mug with a mirror?!?! Genius!!
ReplyDelete"Wear me, I'm shiny!" hahha
Great box girlie!
What a thoughtful CaraBox! She did a great job with it :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome box!! Love the mug with the mirror... I need to get me one of those!
ReplyDeleteI know... totally adorable isn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteIt was thoughtful and I loved it
ReplyDeleteIsn't it a cute mug? I've never owned a travel mug before so this is great!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun. I will have to tell you how well this mug holds up to being spill proof
ReplyDeleteI would suggest hot chocolate with some vanilla vodka and a little Bailey's... seriously it is to. die. for. !!
ReplyDeleteLove Baby Lips! You are a strong woman for avoiding coffee...I probably would stop breathing right here and now. ;)
