I know I'm writing this a bit early since the linkup is tomorrow [Monday], but I'm just so excited to share with you! Plus, I have a new "project" I'm starting tomorrow on the blog, so I can't wait for you all to read about that as well.
I had a lot of fun with this month's box. As you might have read on Heather's blog when we swapped, I try to stay green in my daily life, but I was very excited to send/receive a box full of goodies to help stay even green-er!
I was paired with Anissa at The Beauty Phanatic. She sent me a great package of green goodies. I am most excited about the window sill plants, and am hoping to have some tomatoes, strawberries, and sunflowers this summer!
straws, sponges, plants, a portable coffee cup, a produce bag, and a green cleaner
Enjoying some morning tea in my great new cup!
I also sent a box to Holly over at Back Home Again. I put a lot of pressure on myself because Holly was one of the ladies who came up with this month's theme! I hope she enjoys everything! To me, going green isn't just the environment, it's reusing things you already have as well as buying things that will keep our planet happy. I tried to give Holly a little bit of all of those:
- I bought her a little green cactus while I was in Las Vegas [to add to her garden], a reusable cup, and some Neutrogena Naturals lip balm.
- I reused a cleaning wipe container to make a plastic bag holder [with some of her favorite colors].
- I cut up some corks I had been saving [because I knew she loves wine] to make a photo frame [and she loves photography!].
Here's a little sneak peek... check out Holly's blog to see everything :)
Thank you again, Kaitlyn for another great month of the Cara Box!
