Nothing has made me so consistently excited from childhood into adulthood as getting surprises in the mail. Then there was that ten-year period of time when I had the hottest mailman on the planet… oh, Tony. Yeah, I said his name. He knows how hot he is. Every desperate housewife in the neighborhood waited everyday for the mail to come… in full makeup. (I just fixed my hair and put on some lip gloss.) I’m also kind of obsessed with this guy & his mailbox:
he’s totally into me.
Anyway, I’m getting off track. Because I’m on YouTube and some people read my blog, I get TONS of stuff in the mail (mostly junk). Fortunately for you guys, that means I can do lots of giveaways. I sort through all the mucky muck, pick out my favorite things, and share them with my Bexy Peeps – Bexnation – Bex Super Friends – Bexercisers… still working on that team name.
Baby Summer is helping me with today’s video because my very favorite thing I got in the mail this week was just for her. It came from petiteBox (who I have to say has one of the sweetest social media reps I’ve ever dealt with… I guess that makes sense considering that it’s a baby/mommy company). So we got this little box in the mail filled with all sorts of goodies for Summer and she happily tossed them all over the bed during the video. petiteBox has also offered to give one lucky Bex Life follower their own box. Instructions on how to enter the giveaway along with links to find out more about petiteBox and their service are under the video.
cutest. mail. ever.
Ok, ok… now I’m REALLY excited about this next thing. My friend, Lindsay, who has a blog called theLeanGreenBean.com has what I think is quite possibly the coolest pen pal club ever. Last September she started something called Foodie Pen Pals, and in less than half a year the membership count has grown from 30 to nearly 400 participants in the US, Canada and the UK!
Click on the button above to get all the details, but it’s basically a pen pal club where you send yummy treats to whomever you’re randomly paired with that month. The club is still free (for now), and I just signed up. If you sign up, too, then maybe we’ll be matched up one month! Do it! Do it!

Please excuse our pajamas in today’s video. We’ve been packing for the move and haven’t really left the house or worn real clothes in days. And truthfully, if I’m not in workout clothes, I’m in pajamas. That’s how I roll.
