Cats have no sense of size when it comes to boxes.

They certainly do not:

Yes!  But the ones I've seen are laaaame.  Almost as lame as the Jan. box I got on my second account that's about to almost entirely go to trade.  I got it when I signed up for the US Weekly deal and I swear they hate me.  I did a full box trade with the first one for January. Oh well.  Here's hoping for a better February!!

I would love to see the HP lotions, especially the one with the little bird with an orange slice on his wing shouting a laser!

Honestly, I've had it up to here with bras. If I'm wearing something like a bulky sweater or fleece, I've just been skipping wearing one altogether. I agree that I'm a little too large to wear a t-shirt without a bra and keep things G-rated, but I'll be comfortable until summer rolls back around.

Lollll. This is how I feel about bra wearing right now too. With all this cold weather I've been wearing so many layers. It doesn't even look like I have boobs anymore - I look like a cable knit rectangle.

Yay!  So glad you had a good experience!  And we're boob twins!!!  lol And for everyone - check out the Birchbox Man oops! this month!

This made me lol in the nail salon. So strange! Anyway, this month I would love to get the Whish Body Butter. I just received it in a plus two pack and really like it.

 

[chaostheory]

So I signed up like jan 25th with the us weekly code thinking I would get February's box and my acct shows that it should ship jan 10 haha I had read here how it meant I could get January AND February's boxes both in February, but uh, the date is def wrong here ha.

New career goal: Be the person who writes these.

This was their response and they said it was computer generated! too funny!

"This was, of course, an unfortunate (if hilarious) printing error! You can read the actual editor's letter in your your "Your February Box Has Shipped" email. (And yes, what you are reading is placeholder text generated by a machine to help our designers get a head start while our writers toil away at the final draft. The fact that our writing staff is made up entirely of cats is a complete coincidence.) Let us know if you have any more questions"

I got: 

Reviver Dry Deodorant Swipe
Nail Rock - Blue Sparkles
INKIA Mineral Eye Shadow - Eternal Marine
Fekkai Shampoo & Conditioner 

Not too bad I can use the Fekkai on an upcoming trip. I traded for the Inkia so that will be given away or traded and I have no use for the Reviver or Nail Rock.


I got the same exact box in the mail yesterday! I used the US Weekly code to resub, no email saying the box shipped, and no clicky truck either. I really loved the smell of the Fekkai. The eyeshadow is out of my lilac or nude color ranges, but interesting, so I'll keep it.

Ha! I love their response about the writers being cats. Glad to see them able to joke about it and not take themselves too seriously!

Yay, I just received my January box I got for signing up with the US Weekly promo. I didn't get a shipping email, so it was an awesome surprise for me today. (Haha this was actually the first time I got a subscription box without getting spoiled for the contents)
 
I got: 
 
Reviver Dry Deodorant Swipe
Ruby Wing Color Changing Nail Polish in Ride 'Em Cowgirl

Beauty Protector Protect & Detangle

Whish Three Whishes Body Butter in Pomegranate

Derma E Foil Packets (3)

Actually really happy with what I received on my new second account! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

Now I can't wait for February!

Just got the confirmation email

So I signed up with the US Weekly code and got my extra 100 points. I bypassed the wait list by having a friend refer me. She also referred our other friend who used it today. He was buying it for his girlfriend and somehow got 200 extra points with the code! Maybe it's a glitch but double the extra points is pretty awesome. Though I wish I got them too! So if you were thinking about using the code, today may be the day!

 

[SOSRedAlertSOS]

I just signed up with the USWEEKLY100 code and wound up getting 200 points out of it as well...

Did he sign her up for a year or just a month? When you purchase the initial subscription, you get points for that (only the first time, not every time).

Just a month. So he has 10 points from what he paid and then an extra 200 points for a total of 210 points by paying $10 out of pocket. Pretty good deal considering that there is also a free year of US Weekly coming too!

Interesting! Awesome for him though!

I used my second account to sign up as well--the gift subscription just ran out in January--and I got the 200 points! What a great deal!

Just to clarify, the magazine is a 3 month sub. 12 issues.
