As I said here I was fortunate enough to get two cara boxes this quarter. This cara box is from Arlyn who currently lives in Seoul, Korea with her family (husband in the military and 4 children). She did go overboard with her gifts, but I am so thankful for everything she sent and how thoughtful everything was. So without further ado, here is my cara box #2.
So many goodies
Left: Chocolate goodies. Assorted chocolate covered pretzels (oreo and almond are the best), chocolate waffers, cookies, waffer crunch candies and coffee. Right: Starbucks Korea coffee cup (cute twisty handle)
Left: Date book, purse and business card holder. Right: Socks
Left: Assorted bookmarks. Center: Ornament Right: Toothbrush Cases
I love seeing the different things from Korea. I think she did a great job on matching my personality. I have already used/indulged on some of these items. The business card holder was an awesome idea. I travel a lot for work and sadly, I didn't have one yet. I have already broken into some of the snacks and let me tell you, the chocolate/almond covered pretzels are to die for. I am drinking my coffee from the coffee cup as you read this and I already displayed the ceramic pieces in my house. Thank you Arlyn for your wonderful gifts.
If you would like to participate in the next cara box, follow Kaitlyn at Wifessionals. Be on the look out around the first week of June when she posts about the theme and rules. It is a great way to get to know fellow bloggers, instagrammers and amazing women. I have enjoyed getting to know my partners, can't wait to meet them in person and can't wait for my next match up.
I finally am posting my first Cara Box. I was fortunate enough to receive two boxes as both of my pairings sent me a box. So I have one today and one tomorrow.
So what is the Cara Box Exchange? I will let Kaitlyn from Wifessionals take it from here.
cara (car-rah) noun : beloved friend
Cara Box is a quarterly box swap among women. It was created with the intention of connecting ladies, allowing them to truly get to know and encourage each other. This swap is primarily based around Instagram. Both bloggers and non-bloggers may participate, but being an active user on Instagram is a must.
March's theme was hometowns. So I sent Jennifer things from the Reno/Tahoe area.
Red Passion Davidson Tea (Sparks, NV), Starbucks Lake Tahoe coffee cup, Blind Dog Nevada Black Coffee (Reno, NV), Tahoe Toffee Coffee Toffee (Gardnerville, NV), Natures Bakery Fig Bar (Carson City, NV) and a cute dog card.
Today is my Cara Box from Jennifer. Jennifer lives in Southern California, loves the beach, wine, coffee and many other things. We connected very well and I feel like I have known her for years. Cara Box Exchange definitely did us a favor because I can see us being friends for years to come. Plus she is trying to visit me in December for a trip to Heavenly (she took her honeymoon there), and I go to the LA area at least once or twice a year.
So without further ado, here is my first Cara Box.
I took some individual photos so you all can see everything in detail.
Left: I heart CA wine (Pinot Grigio). Right: Handmade wine charms from Jennifer's wedding, California keychain
Left: Mason jar with sand from Seal Beach and hand picked seashells. Right: Rescued seashells and sand
Left: Bath & Body Works Island White Pineapple Hand Soap. Right: Bath & Body Works Beach Cabana Candle
Left: LAX airport at night Post Card. Right: Hollywood Snow Globe
I think Jennifer did an amazing job. She knows I travel a lot for work, love wine and the beach. I always plan my vacations where there is a beach. Costa Rica, Mexico, Hawaii, California, etc.
