Squeaky Clean

Is that an extremely girly package for my very manly soldier? Sure is.. Are those rubber duckies? Mhm.. Will this package embarrass him just a little bit? I hope so! Ha ha
That's what I love about our relationship, it's full of humor. I feel like he needs a good laugh right now anyway. It's always nice to try and lighten their mood a bit. Of course he actually requested the items in the box but after he opens it he may not request anything else (he he).. Honestly, he'll probably just shake his head and make some crack about me being blonde... Jeez, I miss that goofy guy.

What's in my box?
  • Aussie Shampoo
  • Aussie Shampoo for men (just because I think it smells nice)
  • Mouthwash with free toothpaste attached (I'm a sucker for 2 for 1 deals)
  • Dental floss picks
  • Cute little mini to-go mouthwashes 
  • Travel packs Q-tips
  • Visine eye drops
  • Antibacterial wipes
  • Green loofah

Cardstore.com

(sample card)
About a week ago I was browsing Bloglovin and came across a post by one of my favorite blogs,Glued To My Crafts, about a review she did for cardstore.com. She seemed very pleased with her experience so I decided to check it out for myself. After playing around on the website for a bit I was pretty entertained so I thought I'd go ahead and make one. 

I found the card at the top and knew I had the most perfectly silly picture to go on it! I had so much fun making my card and it was surprisingly easy. The site literally walks you through it step by step. You get to personalize every part of the card right down to your own signature. The best part is that they can send it directly to the person you made it for... In my case, my sweet soldier. It will probably be another week or so before he gets it but I know he will get a kick out of it. Plus it'll make a nice "between packages" gift, and it was actually cheaper than most of the cards I buy off the shelf. I was completely satisfied and will definitely be using this site for the remainder of the deployment.
Fun Fact: The picture I chose was takin a couple day before he left for basic :)
