August Cara Box

The first time I participated in Cara Box, I was partnered with Brittany and I suppose I had beginners luck. She's an amazing person and I had so much fun getting to know her. I skipped a couple months and I'm back for another round of Cara Box. This time around, I was sending to Krista @ My Life Somewhere In The Middle and receiving from Cassie @ A Southern Pair. Both amazing girls!



I told Cassie that I'm a closet cheetah print lover and boy did I get a cheetah explosion in my box! From the scarf to the wreath (which a lot of people LOVE on my Instagram) to the little things like the sticky notes. I also received this soy candle which I loooooove from Target. I've actually been eyeing that scent for awhile too. Cassie was also sweet enough to include a couple doggy toys for my little monsters.



Aside from the great box, Cassie surprised me with these Christmas themed measuring spoons after I told her I have this weird addiction to collecting measuring spoons (I have 5 sets.... why?!). Can't wait for holiday baking now! Thanks Cassie for such an amazing box and I will email you back another novel soon :)

April Cara Box

I've seen Cara Box around blogland and it always peaked my interest to join, but it's a risky surprise ya know? I mean... it's a complete stranger that you sorta chat via email for a couple days and then they send you a package of things. I've done swaps many many many years ago and I have been jipped a couple times. *shrug* It just happens from time to time. For my first Cara Box swap I got pretty darn lucky because my partner Brittany, who blogs over at Aviation of Love is amaziiiiiiiing! My box? Winner winner chicken dinner. I love... like, seriously love everything I received!

First off, she's also a military wife *thumbs up* It's always nice to have more military friends :)

She doesn't know this, but I was actually eyeing Tree Hut shea sugar butter in this scent on Amazon awhile ago, but I think it was back ordered. So, when I opened my box and saw the scrub? I was literally over the moon excited. Then I got the lotion and body wash from the same line too. The scent? Smells like tropical Starburst and I feel like I should be lying at the beach somewhere instead of being cooped up inside. I'll have to do a review of the scrub on my beauty blog instead. All I will say is that it's AMAZING!

Brittany and I are both really into nail polish... I think if she saw my stash, she'd think I'm crazy. I know for a fact my husband and a couple friends already think I am. She got me this really pretty blue/green color which I actually don't own. I have some a little lighter and some a little darker. Perfect shade for Spring and Summer.

Third, she sent me a jar of her homemade diy laundry detergent + the "recipe" to make my own. I am extremely excited about this. I've been wanting to make my own for awhile now, but I still have a brand new liquid detergent which is going to take me foreverrrrr to finish up. With my hubby gone, I only have so much laundry to do!

I seriously loooove this box and I am so glad to have met you Brittany! Also, Thank you to Kaitlyn for creating Cara Box.
