    I forgot to post! i want the sarong from the Rachel Zoe Box of Style Summer box. I didn’t order it because the white purse is impractical for my lifestyle. All it has done for the past month is rain. I wish I could send it to the west coast. The bright colors of the sarong look appealing.

    Sunless Sunday since we don’t get mail that day!!!

    Ugh I should have got Rachel Zoe. I just didn’t want a white purse. I STILL haven’t signed up for it…

      Subless Sunday (no mail)!
      But this could be the first inaugural Subless Weekend!
      Wanted the first popsugar Neiman Marcus box but was not aware of sub boxes other than BB at this time.

      • July 11, 2015 at 8:24 pm

        That box looked amazing. I was so hopeful when the second Neiman Marcus box came out. I’m glad I did not purchase it.

    I wasn’t super happy about my last Yuzen box so I cancelled, now I feel like the next box will be awesome and I will be kicking myself! Lol!

      and I like Subless Sunday!

      • July 11, 2015 at 8:25 pm

        The good thing about Yuzen is that there are boxes available for purchase after they do their video review. No need to miss out!

        I think Subless Sunday wins.

          That’s great to know! I wasn’t sure and was debating to resubscribe but I think I will hold off for now and wait and see what’s in the next box first.

      Oohhh… I liked that box thinking about subbing everything is beautifully packaged. Do you find that the value is there?

      • July 11, 2015 at 8:37 pm

        It is beautifully packaged and I do think the value is there, but there were more misses than hits in the last box for me. I didn’t sub to this box for long so I don’t think I honestly gave it enough time to see what the next box holds. I got nervous and cancelled but now I definitely have buyers remorse! Lol!

          Yea I am with you there getting a box after full spoilers I did that for the second Prosperly box, current Allure/Popsugar/BeautyFix. This may be my new sub box addiction pattern until [holiday] deals pop up want to resub to BB and Popsugar.

          • July 12, 2015 at 12:51 am

            I think there is time to wait with Yuzen. The summer box is on sale until July 31st or until it’s sold out.

            Prospurly has been putting extra boxes in their shop a few days after subscribers receive their boxes. The best part about that is that the Prospurly box is discounted in the shop.

            I can see the appeal in waiting for spoilers. I do it with PopSugar.

    Aww, thank you for this, hmm, I coveted the Manostiles storage tin so much from Skandicrush holiday, I ordered more after getting this box, from Denmark! I was lucky to swap for ouiplease sweater.

    • July 12, 2015 at 12:59 am

      I wonder if Skandicrush will come back?

      • Kelly
        July 12, 2015 at 3:10 am

        Hmm I wonder too about Skandicrush returning. Glad I snagged the holiday box last year.

    Starting to think we should call Saturday “Subscriptionista Should Sober Up Saturday” … I’m buzzed enough to be watching lifetime movie about Sugar Daddies…

    • July 12, 2015 at 12:01 am

      That’s because you are not on the East Coast watching the Pirates versus the Cardinals.

      • July 12, 2015 at 12:04 am

          I was gearing up to try but then comic con drinking fun… Omg I saw a guy with a HUGE Lootcrate he must have bought from comic con but as I approached he was already leaving and he and his buddies looked so nerdy I was worried they would think I was hitting on them or something as they left

          • July 12, 2015 at 12:53 am

            You should had gotten a picture! Comic con is worth a post.

            Comic con is insanity, I love downtown SD!

            July 12, 2015 at 5:05 am

            Yay! I’m from the Bay Area and when I moved here I thought downtown would be great. It is and isn’t. I dig it because I can just sort of stumble from one place to the next!

        I’m so not into sports that I can only imagine what sport teams you are referring to… Baseball? I live within walking distance to the Padres stadium and will only go to games if I get free food and booze… They have veggie hot dogs!!!

        • July 12, 2015 at 12:53 am

          Baseball. It’s an important game. I’m being a good wife.

    I have been stalking the Little Lace Box reviews but didn’t sign up and love the most recent box. I just got a raise at work so signed up about a week ago.

      BTW I love the humor mixed with the reviews on this site! It makes sub boxes even more fun.

        That is beyond nice of you to let us know that!!!

      Congratulations on your raise!!! Woooot!!!!!!

      LLB has its ups and downs in so many areas. From customer service to actual boxes. I think for the price it’s a good bet!

      I basically am going to share mine with Sub Bella from now on… She can wear scarves while I just keep putting them in w pile to be worn “one day”

      • July 12, 2015 at 12:57 am

        CeciliaA Thank You. Subscriptionista makes it fun!

        Congratulations on the raise! LLB is a box that people are passionate about. It evokes emotions like no other box does. I am a little bummed I am not getting the August box, but at least Subscriptionista shares scarves with me 🙂

          July 12, 2015 at 1:54 am

          Thanks guys! I’m putting it to “good” use by buying subscription boxes. I’ve had a few e-mail encounters with the LLB customer service and they’ve been great with me.

          • July 12, 2015 at 4:46 am

            That’s good to hear. What other boxes are you purchasing?

          • CeciliaA
            July 12, 2015 at 6:36 pm

            I receive the PopSugar Must Have, Julep (but I’ve been skipping lately), Wantable Accessories (about to cancel, the first two boxes were great and they have gone down hill since), Kloverbox, Birchbox, 30 Days of Candy, and the MizzFit Quarterly box.

          • July 13, 2015 at 1:26 am

            I’m thinking about 30 days of candy.

    I need to do an IRL post abut that yoga headband I got from popsugar. I wore it all day and looked like a cheap version Brett Michaels without the eyeliner …

        I’m starting to sober up a bit and I want a cookie… I’m starting to get emotional about not having one! (Cookie Monster) I knowwww I should have taken that Lootcrate pic but dude was weird, I’ll try to find my way to their booth if I can!

      July 12, 2015 at 1:55 am

      That’s exactly how I looked too but I was going with more of an Axl Rose vibe (I’m a red-head).

      • Subscriptionista
        July 12, 2015 at 2:46 am

        I WISH I could yell “AXL ROSE!!!” At people while wearing it. All I can do now is creepily saddle up to someone and creepily ask if they “want to ride on my bus to the rock of love.”

          I started randomly breaking into Welcome to the Jungle.

  8. July 13, 2015 at 3:50 am

    How about random thoughts? A few months ago I started taking pictures of the boxes I got, and wrote under the pictures what I got and the prices. As I have allergies I bolded stuff I could use and left the swap worthy stuff unbold. At the top I wrote the dollar value of the sub and the value of the stuff I could use. I am not necessarily hung up on value but it is nice to see over time esp with how much I can use. It makes for an interesting read after a few months. You can go back and say oh yeah I liked that stuff and leave a note, or a note of ick. Then you can evaluate the boxes by how much you got out of them.

    I always like trying new stuff but if I don’t end up liking most of the products, and the rest I can’t use, then the value is not there no matter how much value the box has. For example Boxycharm is a bad box for me, it sure has a high value, but I can’t use half the items and I really have not found much I love from them. Then I look at Vegan Cuts – they have yet to send me an item I could not use, so that box has a higher value (to me). On the other hand I did not get last month Vegan Cuts or this month. It happened my subscription ran out but last month was brow stuff and deodorant, and I don’t need either of those. (avoiding any more brow wars if I can, got some from boxy charm and that will last me until it grows old enough to run away.) Waiting to see the rest of the Vegan Cuts box for this month, when a good spoiler comes out I will be resigning up.

    • July 14, 2015 at 2:52 am

      I do something similar. I have 3 Excel sheets. The first one list all the sub boxes and items. The second one is the beauty inventory. The third one is items used. The last one is the one where I put my notes. I also have a Word document detailing all the items that I like and their websites. It’s easy to forget.

      The first sheet is helpful in deciding what boxes to keep. I’m the same way. The value is in what I can use.

        July 14, 2015 at 2:54 am

        Hmmm, I just throw all my stuff in drawers and bags and sorta wish it all away in my mind until I think I need something from the huge pile… I am not organized…

    Rachel Zoe box. I tell myself constantly that I will never purchase a 100$ box, but I want to purchase a 100$ box. Arg. ARG I SAY.

    Honestly I wouldn’t use half the things in it either, like the bag or the sarong, but I want it. NOVELTY. EXCELLENT MARKETING.

    ………I also want popsugar but I can’t justify paying over 10$ for a subscription box – I’m cheap sometimes lol

    • July 14, 2015 at 3:10 am

      Beeju, thank you posting! I feel the same way on the more expensive boxes.

    • Subscriptionista
      July 14, 2015 at 3:21 am

      I LOVE the sarong and want want want lol but not $100 want…

      You are so smart! I get Popsugar as a gift. I remember asking for it for Christmas (I don’t hint very well…) I feel so excited whenever it shows up!
