I love getting packages in the mail. It may be cupcake mail from my best friend, a box of gifts from my parents, or a box of cookies from my grandma. Whatever the occasion I love knowing that people have been thinking about me and picked something out just for me.
This month I participated in a gift exchange called Cara Box. It is hosted by Kaitlyn over at Wifessionals. Basically you sign up and are given two names. One is the name of who you will send a gift box to and the other is who will send a gift box to you. Click the Cara Box link to find out more.
I had the pleasure of getting to know Amanda over at Ben & Wes. She is such a wonderful mother and really takes time to play with her boys! Check out her Cara Box post to find out what I sent to her!
I also had the great pleasure of getting to know Jenny through the Cara Box Exchange. Jenny is the sweetest and really took the time to get to know me while shopping for my box.
Jenny sent me the prettiest shade of pink (my favorite color) mineral nail polish. It actually looks a little red on my nails, but whatever; I love it. The minerals in the polish are supposed to be good for your nails.
Also, in my Cara Box was a very pretty shade of light blue eye shadow. It is also good for your skin. I have been using it with my Urban Decay Naked Basics palette’s Foxy color.

Here’s the rest of my Cara Box:
I loved the soy candle. It smells absolutely heavenly! Fruity with a hint of floral. Jenny really took the time to make sure what kind of scents I liked!
One of my favorite things in the world is Burt’s Bees lip balm. I love the way it makes my lips feel and how soft they are when I use it. Jenny included two small tins of Burt’s Bees. I put one in my purse and the other in my make up bag because I like to put it on before I put lipstick or lip gloss on.
Another little treat I got in my Cara Box was an organic chocolate bar from Italy which may not be included in my picture since I ate it pretty fast! (Sorry, not sorry.) Love it! (and the not so organic M&Ms which may also be gone already.)
I had so much fun getting to know Jenny and Amanda this month and I can’t wait to participate again! Thank you so much Jenny for everything!! You are awesome! Thanks so much to Kaitlyn at Wifesessionals for this awesome gift exchange!
