Boxes and Swaps

I participated in not one but 2 box swaps this month: the Cara Box and the Foodie Pen Pals.

First, the Cara Box that is hosted by Wifessionals. My match this month was Sarah from Random Thoughts and Feelings. To say she was thorough would be an understatement. She asked a ton of questions to get to know me and what I like, and look at how thoughtful she was with her packaging.

Every little thing was individually wrapped with a cute bow. I had to stop myself from ripping into everything and take picture of it!

The theme was "green", and I'd say Sarah did a pretty good job. I got a Burt's Bees lip balm combo pack, all natural soap and loofa, and a super cute nautical themed bracelet and earrings! Okay, the last one wasn't very green, but I love them!

Thanks Sarah!

The other box I got this month was my Foodie box. My lovely pen pal was Sonia from the Mexigarian.

Sonia sent me a ton of goodies that I can't wait to try. I can honestly say that I have never tried any of the treats that she sent me, which I love. I am very eager to try the vanilla bean tea. I love vanilla and I love tea, so it will probably be my new favorite afternoon drink. And I am a huge fan of any nut butter, so all those Justin's packets will definitely go fast!

Thanks Sonia!

Were you involved with any of the boxes this month? If so, I would love to hear what you got!

March Foodie Pen Pal

This was my very first Foodie Pen Pal, and I had so much fun!! I loved curating some fun items to send and getting a fun foodie surprises in return. And on my birthday, no less!

My foodie pen pal for the month was Megan who hails from Walla Walla, Washington. She sent me some pretty awesome treats from from some local places, which was awesome.

Here was my loot. I use past tense, because about half of this box was consumed THE DAY I got it.

So the caramel corn was gone within 48 hours. I am pretty sure that calories don't count on your birthday, so I didn't worry about it. I had the granola for breakfast one day with some Greek yogurt, and it was wonderful. The chocolates made for some sweet treats during the week. I mean, you can never go wrong with chocolate! B found the Goldfish in the pantry and I haven't seen them since. He loves Goldfish. He also tried the mustard on a sandwich this weekend and said it was really good, I have yet to try it, so I will take his word for it.

If you want to see what I sent, check out Stephanie's blog for the break down!
