"Best of Fall" Cara Box

I think the new Cara Box rules, hosted over at Wiffessionals, are brillant.  Getting to know another blogger over the course of three months rather than one just makes sense and makes life a little less crazy.

This round I sent a box to Mandy over @Through the Hansen's Lens. And received one from Nicole @Letters from Nicole.  Nicole was so sweet and sent me an awesome package! (Sorry for the awful Iphone quality but the peeps are already gone so no DSLR photo for you)

Isn't it lovely!  She hit it right on the dot with this package.  Lighting candles is one of my favorite things to do.  I still can't light it here in the dorm but I can't wait to use it at home or next fall.  The journal will defiantly be filled and always needed.  I have never tried the Starbucks Via coffee but I am excited to try them.  The fact that the peeps are already gone says something.  I already have one EOS chapstick but I love having another one in a different scent to change it up. And the travel mug, yeah defiantly will be used.  

Thanks Nicole for the great package!

July Cara Box

I have been so excited to receive my July Cara Box especially since my June partner ended up being a flop and never sending me anything.  If you don't know what a Cara Box is head on over to Kaitlyn's blog to learn about it.

This month's theme was "Nautical." I received a box from Shane at Whispering Sweet Nothings and am going to be sending one to Lauren at Simply Southern, Simply Lauren. I haven't sent it yet because she is on vaca and I don't want it to be sitting on her porch or something like that for too long.

It was great emailing Shane.  We learned that we were both going into our last year of college and that we both live and go to college in Ohio.  I was giddy when I saw the box had arrived.

My two favorite things were this great little blue chevron bag with matching drink coozie and this awesome little nautical themed note cards.   The chevron bag will be perfect for throwing a water bottle, headphones, and wallet into when I head to the gym or my bible, journal, and a book for the chapel, because Frannies do things like have a chapel bag.  I am always wanting little notecards to stick in a gift so these were just perfect!!

I think I am going to participate for one more month and then back out for now because I just don't really do any shopping when I am at school.

If you are here for the first time visiting from Wifessionals-welcome! Stick around because I can't wait for Lauren to get her box!
