Cozy Swap Box Reveal

I recently participated in the Cozy Swap Box which is hosted by Lipstick and Tractors.  I was lucky enough to be partnered with Kaylee from Chair in the Shade.  I know Kaylee because she likes to swap with us over at Chaotic Goddess Swaps, and because she's a participates in Musical Mondays.  Hi Kaylee!

Kaylee is awesome, so you should definitely follow her blog, and check out her shop full of cute bags!

Cozy Swap Box Reveal



Look at all these lovely things she sent me!  Coffee and chocolate (this girl gets me) and awesome beauty supplies such as the mask, lip balm, bubble bath, a candle, and lotion.  True story, this Tahitian Blood Orange scent from Pacifica is one of my absolute favorites-I have a little perfume of it too!  I'm also super excited about the Peppermint Vanilla hand soap, as I'm about ready for a new bottle in the bathroom and it's perfect for the season . Also, cute little elephant stickers-I love elephants!

Thanks Kaylee, I LOVE my package!  See what I sent Kaylee HERE.
