Did you send out the world-class tracking team to find the box that the carrier insisted was delivered to your house?

Have you noticed more boxes with “moon” in the name or containing items inspired by the moon?

    I am unhappy with the October CurlKit.The spoilers for the November Bag and Wander looks great. The Kids Prize Pack impressed me.

    I forgot to add that I emailed Decoterie this morning. The box will be shipping later this week. There will be a new website. The subscription box began as Decoterie and then was on Cratejoy for a short bit as The Box by LE. I was able to log into my account on both websites in the past, but not now. Any guesses to the new name?

    I love all your pictures and questions on Subless Sunday each week! The always make me smile & chuckle. Also, I’ve been missing Little Lamb so it’s nice to see even if it’s just his/her (?) back and luscious tail!

    The only box I got this week was Naturebox and was very happy with this one since it had all my favorites in stock that were at the top of my “pantry” list. Yum! I did get my Target box but that might have been last weekend? I emailed their customer service about there being no mascara and they gave me a $2 credit. 🙂

      Yay on Naturebox. I’m glad that they had your favorites. I did not notice the mascara is missing from the Target Box. I’m glad that they gave you a credit. I think my mind blocks out eye maleup.

    Is there a good subscription box forum for chatting about them all somewhere? Reddit’s r/subscriptionboxes is dead except for blog links, and r/beautyboxes is pretty limited. I glanced at mysubscriptionaddiction’s forum and it’s pretty inactive save for a select few boxes as topics.

      Ally – It’s dead everywhere. I don’t know why.

      You can try this link for MakeupTalkForum http://www.makeuptalk.com/f/forum/274-general-subscription-sampling-programs/ and this link http://www.makeuptalk.com/f/forum/339-subscriptions-and-sampling-box-talk/

      We like to chitchat here. I do understand what you are trying to find so hope the links help you out.

        That is exactly why I came here in the first place! It’s awesome when we are all in synced at the same time but good knowing someone will remember your name (Cheers reference) and post a response when they are able 🙂

        Thanks hun, I’m sitting over here languishing in my loneliness lol! Unless it’s ipsy or birchbox (and occasionally box of style), people seems to be apathetic about discussing at large. It makes waffling over getting my first Golden Tote (pros: I recently lost 30lbs and doesn’t have a lot of clothes that fit, cons: I don’t know if it’s worth the cash) difficult without bad influences to egg me on!

          Great work on losing 30 lbs! I’d rather take you on a shopping spree to try on tons of clothes… But that’s just me and probably not what you wanted to hear. Sorry!

          • November 2, 2015 at 8:15 am

            Subscriptionista needs to post her Golden Tote purchases!!! She receives a lot of amazing boxes that I don’t and needs to put them up!!! I want to read about Golden Tote, Popsugar, her 5th avenue box, Relish, and more!!!

        • November 2, 2015 at 8:20 am

          Ally – Congratulations on losing the weight! I personally do not like Golden Tote. Subscriptionista used to have a Golden Tote habit. I think she is starting to fall out of love. There are Golden Tote Facebook trading pages. I believe there is an official one and an unofficial one. That is where the good information lies.

          Another idea is trying a clothing rental service to see how things fit.

        • November 2, 2015 at 11:36 am

          Congrats on the weight loss! The other ladies have clothing subs. I might join one that Subista did a review on I forgot the name but it had a shirt that repelled stains which is handy with my little Pnut people … you can pick out what you like from what they are offering but do not recall if their is a spoiler-free optio.

            Pnut, that stain repelling shirt sounds nice. I spill on myself a lot, no kids needed! Hah. But I can’t bring myself to do a clothing sub because I’m so picky about stuff I actually try on in a store, plus I gained back the 30lbs I lost.

            Ah well. Instead, I got an art subscription last night =D I am really excited to try all sorts of art on my walls!

          Congrats on the loss! I have loved some of my Golden Tote orders. The funniest part is that many of my favorites from them are the surprise items. Have had others that just don’t work. Actually wearing one of my favorite tops/light kimono thing today.

    Little Lamb was outside and wanted to be by my side. I tried taking pictures of him. It was step, snap a picture, then he would rub against my legs, step, snap, rub. He’s a little lover kitty.

    Decoterie sent out an email update. I give them credit for doing it. Most boxes don’t send an email update when late. Let me know if you want me to post it. I will be touring colleges with my son when the box arrives.

    I love all the kitty pics! They are so beautiful!

    The only box I got this week is Sun of a Chic. The price is indicative of the quality. I’m planning on getting November’s box as well and cancelling. How many sunglasses does a person need, you know?

    • November 1, 2015 at 11:43 am

      As many as she loses *looks for sunnies*

        Ha! So true… Actually I’m more likely to get scratches on the lenses than lose mine.

    The only box I received this week was my TrustFall by Book People box. I’m looking forward to reading the book and have been consistently happy with that sub.

    I’m hoping the Kloverbox ships this week.

      I just got mine yesterday too, I need to start reading more before all the books and magazines take over the house… I like trustfall better than indispensable, though I am not sure why, have read about half the books i have gotten from them both.

    I missed out on the most recent Target box, though it was my fault as I waited too long to order it. I am keeping my fingers crossed they do another all natural box like last year!

  9. November 1, 2015 at 1:53 pm

    I have been eyeing a moon box, actually! It’s called Gaia Collective, and like I mentioned with Yogi Jewelry surprise, I’m not a yogi, but I like rocks and rock jewelry! Also, I don’t meditate or like herby stuff, so I don’t know what I’d do with half the box. Sigh. I guess I’ll wait a couple months and try to save some $$$.

    We Make Collective is hard to pass up, but a little spendy [$48 USD] though it is bi-monthly…

    • November 2, 2015 at 8:13 am

      I know what you mean! The Yogi Surprise One Year Anniversary box was hard to write in certain spots because I don’t follow the yogi lifestyle. I wanted a good review, but was unknowledgeable about certain things.

      • Onderria
        November 2, 2015 at 10:55 am

        Hah, part of me wants to ask the Gaia Collective people if I can do a box without the herbs but with the wire wrapped pendant. Too bad you can’t customize boxes 😉

    I’ll never understand Quarterly. I was billed on 10/29 for Jeremy Lin and 10/30 for Bianca Jade. My Jeremy Lin box is scheduled for delivery today. Bianca Jade Mizzfit is still in label created.

      “Randomly”… I’ve never gotten a Quarterly box and a lot of them seem to go on sale, so I think that’s the only way I’d buy one at this point.

    I was checking out of the box sampler to see if she posted pictures. I saw the sponsor artisan for November is Under the New Moon. Another moon artisan!

    • November 2, 2015 at 7:59 pm

      I see the boxes are up and the one with peanut brittle has your family’s name on it! Maybe next month for me we will see I am sure there are foodie scents this month next month might be spicy, wintry, and pine treeish.
