It's been a rough past few weeks for me. My puppy got parvo and spent a while at the vet's two weeks ago and just recently got to come home. She is recovering wonderfully which has made me so happy and this gift just raised my spirits that much more. It's so nice to receive something so thoughtful from a complete stranger. I think that's what makes these exchanges so great!

I received a lovely hand written card, some delicious apple hand cream, a peach candle, lemon lip balm, Lush shower jelly, and the cutest cactus soap. I have never tried a Lush product before but I've wanted to so badly. I live in a very small town so we have to drive to the city to go to stores like that so Yay!! I finally get to try it! The cactus soap is so adorable (btw it made it fine in the post. It was only 100 degrees today so it only slightly rubbed some of the soap onto the plastic, nothing big). Living in the desert, you learn that cacti are are hardy, beautiful plants so I have a little collection going on. It is cilantro and lime scented which I would have never thought would have smelled so wonderful together. And of course you can't go wrong with bath and body works products. I have the peach candle burning right now. My house smells like summer :)

Thank you so much Calan for making my day that much more wonderful! I wish you all the best from my family to yours!
