July Cara Box Reveal


Cara Box

My blog friend, Lisa, at Améliorer la Vie introduced me to a blogger networking opportunity called, cara box exchange through Wifessionals. Each month, people who want to participate sign-up at wifessionals. Kaitlyn, creator of cara box exchange, pairs together bloggers and non-bloggers alike. Throughout the month, you connect with your partners via email. Based on the theme of the month, July being Nautical, you send a $15 gift to your assigned partner. You send a box to one blogger and receive a box from another. The cara box exchange is a way to meet other bloggers, find encouragement, be creative, and have fun.

I was partnered with Jenn at This Little Piggy's Life and Ashley at Rainstorms and Love Notes. I had a really great time getting to know each one of them. I created a box for Ashley, while Jenn made one for me. At first, finding nautical themed items was very difficult, but, after a few store references, I found some great items. I cannot wait for Ashley to receive her box! Yesterday, the mail lady dropped off my box from Jenn. I was so surprised and immediately tore open the box in my excitement. Below is what Jenn sent in my July cara box.

  • An encouraging letter
  • Basket with seashells and 4 ocean scented candles
  • Sinful Colors nail polish in "All Mighty" 
  • Model sailboat 
  • 2 anchor printouts with nautical quotes: "A smooth sea never made for a skillful sailor" and "refuse to sink"

Thank you, Jenn, for my cara box! If you are interested in doing a cara box exchange, check out Wifessionals' blog here for more information.
