Birchbox November 2012

[ngardner8503]

Got my box today,  thrilled with what I got!

 

[allisonjoy810]

Anyone else not gotten shipping for their box yet? Nothing new shows up in my account, either... Not sure if I should contact them, or if others are having the same issue as a result of being slowed down by the storms.

I haven't gotten my shipping notice yet either but I can see my November box on my account. Just waiting for it to ship...

ive always been lower class but yet i am not poor enough to get any kind of goverment help whether it be food stamps or disounted housing or a good amout of money for college to improve my current situation

i should get myself out of it.... but im so comfortable in it that i dont take risks to be out of it!!

i know i can make more than $9.80 an hour as an assistant manager of a retail store but i feel like if i leave i wont have that security of where i am now

i  love all people, rich poor, white yellow, black green, buddhists, satanists, catholics etc...and give them the same respect they give me

unless you are a drag queen.... then i get all psycho obsessed with you because i wish i could be a drag queen

Girl, you can do it. It is definitely scary, but you can do it.

I got my first box last week but the second one hasn't had updated shipping for a week now so don't worry about it. This seems to happen every month now. The fact that they ship at different times means they aren't identical so I'm happy. (Though I'd love to get ngardner8503's box, I'm not peeking for once)

Those days would fill up fast and get booked far in advance. Then you have to think -- woudln't professionals like doctors or dentists complain too? That they don't get a day off but other people do.

The US has a lot of privilege in the fact that so many of the stores are already open really late and have long hours. When I was in Switzerland everything just shut down after 6pm. You had to go home. Nothing else you could do ):

No, I mean the days would be vary based on the employer, so not everyone would have the same day off ever, other than the usual bank holidays some of us already get. Doctors and dentists would have the same opportunity.

It's true, I've been in other countries where everything stops at 4 or 5pm as well, and I agree the US, especially the big cities, is all about instant gratification.

Same as me! I loved everything but the perfume /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

If I were queen of the world (God help us all, haha) every job would have a once-a-month (or at least once-every-other-month) holiday not affiliated with the federal holidays or whatever, so that employees can get necessary things done that they may not be able to do because they are working during standard business hours. They could go to routine dr/dentist/eye appointments, renew driver's licenses, etc., or just deep-clean their home or even sleep all day... I think it would be great for everyone's health to have a once-a-month "catch up" day.

You got my vote!

Where do you keep the tote? Do you carry it around with you or leave it in your car or something?

I keep it hanging on the back of my bedroom door so that it is handy if I need it. Most everything fits in my purse (except for a baby blanket and a scarf), so I could use just one bag, but if I lost my purse everything would be gone. I'd keep it in the car, but I'm afraid things would freeze and ruin, or overheat and ruin.

I still don't regret unsubbing from BB, but I really should make an oh-shit kit (dig the name)

This was just a dumb question /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

There are little rings in the Jouer Christmas crackers. Other than that I don't see any rings among the new products

For anyone getting box 3, check your tracking again. Mine wasn't updated this morning but I just checked it again and it has info now. It's still in NY, but at least it's on it's way! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm getting box 3 but I'm still getting this:

Tracking information for this piece is unavailable at this time. Tracking may take 24-48 hours after your mail piece has shipped. Please check back at a later time for additional information.
If tracking is unavailable after 3 days, please contact your shipper.

No biggie. I know that it'll eventually show up.

 

[prachisrk]

I have 2 accounts and haven't gotten it for either. One of my accounts didn't update either so I contacted them and it finally updated.

Yeah, I'm guessing that those of us with certain box numbers (20 and 3 seem to be the more popular ones) will get our boxes in a later wave. No one has them yet because they haven't shipped out any box 20s or box 3s. With the amount of crap I've purchased recently, you'd think that would tide me over. NOPE.

Mine showed up this afternoon, says it's in NJ. woop!

I'm really excited for this one- box 3 looks great.

haha where I come from, theybreak students/profs' ribs with batons and harrass homeless people. I think it's mostly being in the wrong place at the wrong time, with a cop in a persecutory mood /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. one of my friends got smacked with like a $200 pedestrian fine for starting to cross the street when the red hand was blinking, even though pretty much everyone does that.

lucky for me though, the cop didn't show up in traffic court. If I ever get a stop sign ticket, I'll just plagiarize this scientist's excuse lol.

woah woah woah come again . if cops gave these tickets out where I live I would seriously have like $50,000 in tickets. It happens here at every stoplight and every stop sign all day every day.

apparently I made a turn too soon after the pedestrian had crossed; I didn't cut them off, but I turned like right after they crossed my side of the street.

im sorry if i sounded like i was being mean, it was late... and im not trying to be mean!!!!!

just jealous that i cant afford anything nice

ive always been lower class but yet i am not poor enough to get any kind of goverment help whether it be food stamps or disounted housing or a good amout of money for college to improve my current situation

people that make less money than me actually make more through goverment help!!!

and not that i think that i need it either i dont take handouts... its my pitiful situation so i should get myself out of it.... but im so comfortable in it that i dont take risks to be out of it!!

i know i can make more than $9.80 an hour as an assistant manager of a retail store but i feel like if i leave i wont have that security of where i am now

we just recently opened an ulta in my town i was going to apply but didnt because of my fears and im glad i didint its not as busy as they hoped and already let go of people!!!

i  love all people, rich poor, white yellow, black green, buddhists, satanists, catholics etc...and give them the same respect they give me

unless you are a drag queen.... then i get all psycho obsessed with you because i wish i could be a drag queen

Not you! I was talking about the woman she met at Trader Joe's who gave her attitude about her designer purse. I don't think anyone here was being negative or mean. I don't know how old you are Angelalh, but you look young. When I was young, I worked retail for close to minimum wage and struggled to support myself. It's hard! Retail is a thankless job anyway. Most people don't realize how uptight a lot of retail employers are. People think if you work retail, then it must not be stressful. lol What a joke! I became an insurance agent, which is sales too, but pays a lot better. Then I moved and had a nightmare job, then I quit it after they tried to get me to do illegal things, then my husband got a raise, now I am a SAHW but I paint as well. I really liked having a career, but things worked out well for me. I guess my rambling point was, things will work out.

You say you are an assistant manager, maybe you can move up eventually. I think some stores pay better than others. But it helps to have management experience, even if you end up having a different career later, that will look good on your resume.
