I did my very first Cara Box Exchange this month! I had never heard about a Cara Box until July, so I decided to sign up for August and see what happens. 

What is Cara Box? It's a great way for you to meet people, get to know them and send them fun gifts! Click here if you want to find out more about Cara Box or how to sign up for September's exchange.

 The theme for this month was, Season's of Life. I was fortunate enough to have met Jennifer from The Beautiful Little Fools! She put together a box for me and we got to know each other quite well over the past month. She is such a sweet girl and I loved getting to know her better!

Here's a picture of the things that Jennifer sent me :) With the package, she sent me a really sweet letter. It as really obvious that she put a lot of thought in the things that she got me! She got me a makeup bag (which is super adorable) , a pink striped pen (for school) , a necklace, Body Butter and 2 doggie biscuits for my pups. I loved everything that she sent me and my puppies loved their treats too! 

We were picked to be together because we are both in the same age group. We learned a lot of great things about each other and I'm really glad that I got to meet Jennifer! :)

I also sent a package out to somebody. I was hoping that I would have heard something from her by now because I sent her package almost 2 weeks ago...

Overall though, I really loved participating in the Cara Box Exchange! I loved getting to know Jennifer and I can't wait for next month's exchange! Click the button below if you want to find out more about Cara Box or sign  up for the next exchange. Sign up should start tomorrow, September 1st!

    Oh no! I feel terrible! I thought I sent you an email when I got the box, but apparently I saved it to drafts instead of hitting send! I am SO sorry! :( I wrote a post about your box...and I'm going to send you another email right now. Sorry!

    That looks so cool! I have been hearing about this, but I thought it was just another subscription service! I didnt know you were actually exchanging gifts with other people! How fun!!

    This sounds really interesting. I loved having pen pals when I was younger. I checked out the website and it sounds neat. I'll have to add it to my list of things to try out!

Want to sell your old clothes? Poshmark.

Image
If you have a bunch of clothes that you don't wear, then Poshmark is the best thing for you. Poshmark is an app on iPod, iPad and iPhone products. The app lets you post pictures of clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc. that you don't wear anymore. The items can be new with tags, new without tags and lightly worn (just don't try to post your old t-shirt with that pizza stain on it, I can promise you that nobody will buy it). Poshmark is a free application that you can get in the iTunes app store. As of right now, you cannot get the website on your computer. Unless, you have already signed up for an account on an iPad, iPod or iPhone. I signed up for Poshmark about a month and a half ago. Since then, I have sold over $3000 worth of stuff that I don't use anymore. I've sold shoes, jewelry, shirts, pants, sweaters, etc. The app is mostly geared towards women's and girl's/teen's items. Although, I have seen many people post men's and children's items. Th...

Giveaway!

Hey Everyone! So it was really hard for me to decide which subscription box to give you all a giveaway for. Most of you said that you wanted to enter a drawing for  Glossybox . So I was going to make the prize a 3-month subscription to Glossybox . But then I thought, well what if the winner wants something different? So I am going to leave the prize open-ended for you guys. The Prize: The winner gets to choose what they want. It can be anything that has up to a $60 value (since a 3-month subscription to Glossybox costs around $60). So that means that the winner can get a 3-month subscription to  Julep ,  Glossybox  etc. Or a 6-month subscription to Ipsy , Birchbox , etc. It doesn't even have to be a subscription to a subscription-box! It could be a $60 gift card to Target, Sephora, Gap, Visa, etc. Or even an item(s) that you've been eyeing for months but just haven't gotten around to buying. Seriously, it can ANYTHING that you choose with a value of up to $60! S...

Diamond Candles vs Prize Candles

Image
This week I'm trying a different type of post! Since I love subscription boxes, that means that I love surprises. So, of course I would love to try out surprise candles! I wanted to see which type of ring candle was better,  Diamond Candle  or  Prize Candle .  I got both candles in 2 different scents,  Prize Candle  was Blue Cypress and  Diamond Candle  was Be Mine (smells like wild berries, amber and roses). Each of the candles cost $25 a piece. Although,  Prize Candle  offers $10 your first purchase and  Diamond Candle  offers free shipping on orders $45 or more.  Inside both companies candles, there is a ring worth $10-$5,000.  First, the shipping. I ordered both candles the same night, within 15 minutes of each other.  Prize Candle  came 2 days before  Diamond Candle  did. My  Prize Candle  came pretty dirty though, I had to clean off the glass container b...
