My Serendipitous Life

Hello Hello!

This morning I should be on my way to Mexico City and since my emotions are all over the place, I thought it would be the perfect day to reveal my happy mail.

This is my second time joining in on the Cara Box Exchange. I loved it the first time and this time was just as fun.

I had the pleasure of meeting two lovely ladies. Becca from IAteSkinny sent to me and I sent to Betsy from Musing of a Museum Fanatic.

I had such a fun time getting to know them both. They’re blogs are definitely worth checking out.  Pay them a visit.

I was so excited when I found the theme of this months exchange: Green for Earth Day. I have spent some time learning how to be more earth friendly and it was so nice to share some of what I’ve learned with someone else.

Becca did such a good job putting my Cara Box together and I was so happy when it arrived.

Look at all the pretty colors!!! How’s that for happy mail?!

Love these healthy snacks she sent me. I admit the hubs took over the Veggie Crunchers and Trail mix but I managed to keep the plantains which I LOVE all to myself. So nummy. Ever tried them?? You should, they are SO good.

Becca and I talked a bit on how I manage to kill all plants. I suck at gardening but she seemed to have a little more faith in me and sent me this set to give raising plants another go. These lilies are so pretty. I really hope I can make them grow and not kill them. I was super excited to receive this homemade laundry detergent from her. She told me about how she made her own for really cheap and lasted for months so I couldn’t wait to try it. She sent me a sample in this cute little jar and the recipe. YAY! I’ll share it with you in a later post.

I try to be green, I try to recycle and compost and we try to eat healthy and kind. We were doing really well for a while but I fell of the vegan/veggie diet months back and have struggled to get back on it. I told Becca this and she was so sweet, she found some recipes that sound nummilicious for me to try and help me get back on the veggie train.

Thanks Becca! I loved my Cara Box!!

I had so much fun putting Betsy’s box together. I felt bad I didn’t put much effort into the presentation of my first Cara box and I was determined to make this one much better. I must say I was quite happy with it. I kept it all as Green as I could. I really hope she likes it.
