BLOG SWAP

a few months ago I mentioned how when I have 200 followers I will host a blog swap. 

i have participated in three swaps and they were all super fun! 

not only is it a great way to meet new people and create new friendships, but you also get to receive a package in the mail - doesn't get much better than that! 

before i get started talking about this swap, I want to get cheesy 

i absolutely love writing my blog

it's a great creative outlet and it's also super fun to look back at my old posts

but the best part about my blog is you! 

so thank you for reading about my not-so-interesting life and leaving your sweet comments behind

i haven't dealt with one negative person through my blog and i really appreciate that! 

I've met/emailed/tweeted with some amazing girls 

so thank you! 

now into the swap! 

the "theme" of this swap is going to be "search the sales"

meaning everything that you buy has to be from the clearance or sale section! 

the rules :

 5. the items you purchase may only be from the sale section
6. blog about your package on march 8th (if you don't have a blog, it's ok, you can still participate just let me know in the comments that you don't have a blog)

 have fun with it! remember the quality over quantity rule girls!

fall swap goodies!

i had had my eye out for a while, looking for a swap. i couldn't find one anywhere, but was sooo desperate to do one! i love receiving gifts, but buying gifts for other people is much more fun for me! when i found neely's fall swap, i didn't hesitate to sign up! i was lucky enough to be partnered up with amber from my three bittles! it turns out that we have a lot in common, so shopping for her was pretty easy! i guess shopping for me was pretty easy too, because i love absolutely everything she picked out for me!! 

with out further ordieu, here's what amber was sweet enough to get me! 

the overview! 

i thought it was pretty funny that she sent it in a pampers box! 

from top left clockwise

1. some school supplies! i had been needing some new locker magnets, so these are perfect! the pens are super super cute, and i love all of the notepads/calendars! 

2. the candle is apple cinnamon flavor, and it smells so good. i can't wait to burn this in my room! 

3. a cute little mug! she put little notes on almost everything! this one says "cuz sometimes you just need a good cup of coffee", which is 100% true! 

4. a cute little own statue! i love owls, and it looks great on my bookshelf in my room! this note says "cuz owls are just cute"

1. body relaxants! i definitely have been needing this recently, and i can't wait to try this out in the very near future! 

2. the cutest plaque ever that says "laughter is the best medicine". i hung this on my closet door! 

3. fuzzy socks. these are blue and white stripes, so they are perfect;) also they are super soft and comfy, and i love wearing these around the house when it's cold outside! 

4. a bag tag that says peace out! isn't it cute?? "cuz sometimes you just need to tell the world peace out and enjoy some you time"-- so true

(sorry these pictures are so dark) 

1. headbands -- these are the material of the hair ties that don't crimp your hair! these actually stay on my head, and i can't wait to wear them to school!

2. CANDY! as soon as i opened the box of candies, my mom came into my room and stole the peanut m&m's. and i might almost be done with all of the candy. 

3. nail polish! i have been needing a red nail polish for the longest time, and absolutely love the color she picked out! i also love love love grey nail polish, and i don't have a dark grey so i'm so happy to add these two polishes to my collection!! 

if you have never done a swap before, you totally should! even if you only do it one time! it should be on everyones blogger bucket lists;) 

i just want to say thank you again to amber, i absolutely LOVE everything! 

thanks for reading!
