Cara Box Reveal & More!
Hello lovelies!
First of all….TGIF! It has been long week. I know that I was off Monday and Tuesday, but the week has been so busy that during the rest of the week I have made up for all my time off at work. So today I am bringing you a mix match kind of post. So buckle up and hang on..here we go!
So I was lucky enough to get the pleasure of participating in the Fall Cara Box Exchange this time. I am loving the new format that Kaitlyn decided on and well I am sure all of you that lead busy lives like myself are too. I know that when I first got the notification from Kaitlyn that the matches were in I was ecstatic. I honestly keep myself completely broke due to participating in some of these, but I just love these kinds of programs. I honestly did not know how in the world I was going to pull it off this time, but somehow I did! Well I must admit that I was super happy with my matches this time. I was paired with the most amazing ladies. All of us went through some crazy times throughout this process, but we stuck with it and made it happen. I was paired with Carlisa to send a fall box to, and Christine sent me a Cara Box this time.
I know that Carlisa and I exchanged a ton of emails througout this prcoess. She is super sweet Texan transplanted from Florida. We have been there for eachother through some hard times, which is what I think this program is meant to achieve honestly. We are both from the south and have lots in common. She loves to travel and always posts the most interesting pictures from her travels that you all will love. Make sure that you head over and check her out!
This lovely lady is someone that I have been acquainted with longer than Cara Box. I met her a while back and found her to be simply lovely. So when I discovered that she was my partner I was super excited. I honestly feel that we have a friendship that has grown so much more than I ever thought possible. She is a super sweet Chicago blogger that seems to love starbucks just as much as I do. She has truly been someone that I have been able to confide in the past few months. I have shared some things with her, vented, and seeked help. Personally I can see myself moving to Chicago and hanging out withe her and some other fabulous ladies like Betsy & Stephanie. I must mention the card that she sent me. Let me say that it was one that I know she took lots of time to write. As I went through reading her explanation of why she chose certain items for the box I giggled, screamed and laughed. She seems to know me pretty well and probably better than most. I will say that she totally gets that I am a coffee addict and supports me, and well as you will see in the pictures below..she even contributes to this addiction. So here are a few pics and a message especially for Christine!
So the note said that the scarf screamed my name and well that is true. This scarf is simply gorgeous, I literally was at a loss of words last night when I saw it. Turquoise is my favorite color and this will go amazingly with my entire wardrobe. I simply adore the scarf and couldn’t wait any longer to wear it! The coffee cup is amazing, I have been looking for one that was the correct size to drink a pot of coffee and well this is it! I am obsessed with owls right now so this was simply perfect! Holy mess Chocolate peppermint hot coca mix was the perfect remedy last night to me. I was simply freezing and this tasty drink warmed me up nice! So I am such a sucker for chocolate and hazelnut, so I adore the Biscotti that Christine sent. They were nicely with my morning cup of coffee, that Christine also sent me from Starbucks! I so enjoyed everything that she sent last night. I ripped that shoe box open like it was Christmas already. To say a small thank you to Christine I included a small vlog of me telling Christine how much I have loved this experience! On a final note it seems I am set for the cold weather for a while in terms of hot drinks!
