swap-a-roo

I linked up with Meredith and got involved with her 1st blog swap.... I would go into details, but I am convinced that anyone who reads this blog more than likely reads/follows hers too!

I was paired with Marie. We went to college together, were in club together and now we both live in Austin. I was really excited because even thought we live in the same town we rarely see one another { and i didn't have to pay for shipping :) } We had the privilege since we live in the same town of doing a lunch date + blog swap. So fun!

Here we are pre-swap... its my first time to try a fedora... from the looks of this picture probably my last.

Here are my swap items:

Something orange: Opi nail polish - totally forgot to write down the color.

Something funny: the little tissues say "HAHAHA" across the top and "BOOHOO" across the bottom and in the middle it says "I laughed until I cried"... funny/cheesy. I also got her a little cookie cutter that is in the shape of a squirrel {also the mascot of our social club: shout out to Ko Jo Kai}

Something that costs $1: I got clorox wipes... Marie has a precious little girl that you should read about on her blog! So I figured this was not only $1 but really practical/useful.

Something that I love: I gave her the resusable cup... I keep water on hand at my office everyday and love to take those cups in the car. So convenient! I also added the Beyonce cd... life is too short to not have a Beyonce dance party... my sisters know and understand this all too well.

Something sweet: per Meagan, Marie's favorite sweet treat is Cadbury eggs, well since this little swap was just a few months post Easter. Those were hard to come by... I got the next best thing! Godiva chocolates filled with caramel... so good! I showed some real restraint by not opening the bag before i gave it to her.

Here are the great swap gifts from Marie:

Something orange: peachy nail polish! I'm so excited! I have bright oranges like the one I gave her, but nothing in this hue... Manicure on saturday... I think so!

Something sweet: Sugar Blossom Candle. It's burning at my desk right now! I'm already obsessed!

Something funny: Seamless boyshorts from Target... similar looking in color to Spanx, but I can't wait to put these bad boys on my toosh! They look so comfy.

Something that costs $1: teal leopard print socks... who isn't always in the market for more socks?

Something that Marie loves: Body Butter by Yes to Carrots... never tried it but I am so excited. I loving trying products that other people love. Eye makeup remover pads from Almay... they are a staple in my evening routine.

Marie did an excellent job and I greatly enjoyed the swap!
