[amberlamps]

Mine is in Phoenix. So even though it's so close I probably won't get it until Saturday.

I have a wonderful post man.  He has been my post man since I was born. I use to run out to the mail box everyday to say hi and get the mail from him. He watched me grow up, and cried when when my sister got the mail in her wedding dress on her wedding day.  I even named a pet after him when i was little - i use to say u name pets after people u love and i love Chip!   Yesterday he deelivered 3 big packages to my door and said he's for you Princess.  He's just wonderful.

Mine says "Out for Delivery - Delivered by tomorrow". WTH does that mean? Hopefully it'll come today.

We used to have an awesome mail man. One day last year he just disappeared and now we have like 5 mailmen, so everything is all messed up because it's always a different guy. One of them refuses to leave packages that don't fit in the mailbox on my porch, which drives me nuts. I live in a gated condo community and we have those small, clustered together mailboxes. They've ALWAYS left packages on the porch. I complained to the USPS and they told me that they're "not allowed" to leave packages on porches even if I give permission. Um...how come every mail guy I've had in the past 6 years does that besides this ONE guy?

*sigh* I got my box today (happy Valentines to me!) but it was missing the -----. I was kinda excited about that /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I came home to my box on the doorstep - this is the earliest I've ever gotten it!  After going through it...

-Wrap in white (and, yeah, I don't see how one size would fit even most in this - I'm 5'0 and a 34B and it's about the right length for me, even though it's a bit big around. I don't see how someone more than a couple inches taller would wear it at all) It is also not worth $84, though it is nice to have for $35.

-Thong in yellowish green (awful color, but I'll try it to see if I like the brand)
-Just Bitten in Honey (I think I really like this. It's just the one-shade-darker-than-my-actual-color that I've been wanting. Trying it for a few days to see how drying it is before I decide.)
-Chocolates in cacao nibs (They're pretty good, I guess. Just ate some sprinkled on Cheerios for a snack. They'd also be good on ice cream, or, if you're one of those people that do this, on popcorn.)
-Not happy at all about the Nicholas Sparks book, but am enjoying the song.  Didn't expect to.  Thought it would be boring ballady pop, but there's banjo, and it reminds me a tiny bit of Mumford and Sons or Alison Krauss or something.

I'm happier than I was last month, but I still actually like my first box, December, the best.  If the panties had been a different color or the book was something I liked, I think it would have tied.

Mine is out for delivery, but it's already 3:40! I want my box!!!

 

[lechatonrose]

Mine just came. 

Wrap in white - I really wanted pink ):  
Hanky Panky in yellow - not a colour i'd pick for myself but i don't mind
Cacao nibs - which are strangely addicting
Just Bitten Balm in Romantic
 

 

[roxyupallnight]

Well, I canceled PS. The last couple months I wasn't completely in love and after long hard consideration I rather take the $35 a month and buy something else.... I signed up for Ipsy and hope the wait isn't too long. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The women's shelter near me won't take the items that won't fit me (didn't give a reason why) and now that leaves me with them. A huge waste. If anyone wants to trade for them let me know. It would make my day!

Got my box, thoughts:


 Wrap: Mine came in white, and is pretty large around. I'm really small chested, and it overlaps around so much that it's just kind of a hassle. Also, the length is ridiculous, my butt is basically hanging out. This is pretty much a no go for me, plus I think if I did use it the white would just get dirty so quickly because the only time I'd wear it is when I'm getting ready and doing my hair/makeup and not leaving my bathroom

 
Hanky Panky: A very pretty blue but once again, too large on me. They're a pretty blue, but one size fits all just doesn't work most of the time for either side of the spectrum. Us petite and plus sized girls were just not thought about with this box.
  Just Bitten: I received honey, which is a color I already own. I was hoping for a different one, but no such luck.
Caco Nibs: I think these are disgusting, but my boyfriend likes them.
 
Book: Awful, just no. But this is my personal preference, so a friend of mine will get good use out of this.
 
Jewelry Cleaner: Useful, but not a must have.
 
Overall this box was horrendous for me. I hate to sound so negative but I'm really annoyed about the sizing issues. Two items don't fit me, and they're the big ticket ones. One item has been out for about a year, so I already bought it. I know I can regift this stuff, or give it away to a friend but that's not why I buy it each month. These are supposed to be must have items, and I can't help but argue that candy hearts and jewelry cleaner (the only items in the box I'll use) just don't fit the bill. Next month is my last month, and I'm only sticking out for one more because I'm afraid they'll try to make up for it and I'll miss out. I am shooting them an angry email though, about the wrap and hanky pankies. I would have been much happier with a coupon where I could choose my own size or had options. [/EndRant]

Edit: I don't know what's going on with spoiler within the spoiler...

I just got my box today, too....
 
-My wrap is light pink - I was really hoping for white!
-Hanky Panky in yellow...ughh LOL
-Cacao Nib Chocolates
-Just Bitten Balm in Crush (hoping to trade for Honey or Cherish)

 

[Lola Jean]

So I got my second box today, le sigh...

The contents were the exact same, another white wrap and another pair of yellow HP's and another Lip Stain in Honey.. I was hoping for a pink wrap, but oh well.... 

 

[IffB]

Happy Vday to me...

Boxes waiting from Misscha (spl?), Goodies, Pop Sugar and Amazon. Thankfully, got home before husband to destroy the evidence. 

About the PS Box:

I am 5'5. The wrap is very short and barely covered my hanky panky- - so while it fits, it was not flattering - think lampshade.  Lovely soft fabric, my 5 feet, flat chested teen will probably look very cute prancing around on it.

 
The hot pink panties are very nice and comfortable.  I would say sizes 4 to 14 can wear them....I am sure it is very disappointing for the plus size girls. 
 
Lip stain in Crush is very wearable and I like the way it feels.
 
Book is small enough to be handy on a plane trip while electronics must be off. Meh.
Chocolates - tiny!  Cute packaging, sure they are delish.
Could I like without this box?  Sure.  But when I compare it with the other pricier subs that I tried out this month, like Yuzen and Hammock Pack, I find it to be a lot more variety and a better value. I am sticking with PS because the anticipation is so much fun, and I usually get at least one item that I really like.  Mugs, emergency kit and scarf still on the top of my favorites list!

Email got me nowhere, in fact part of it made absolutely no sense to me. I didn't make any requests. I basically told them how disappointing it was and how it was an absolute waste for me.

The response I got:

Got my box today! And I LOVE it! 

 
I received the white wrap which I love! So soft! I'm 5'2 so it seems to be just right in size for me. It'll be lovely after showers! 
 
Cobalt Hanky Panky ... I was surprised on the color because I haven't seen anyone else post they got this one! But I love it! 
 
The Cacao Nibs are delicious!! 
 
And the lip stain in Romantic ... I thought it might be too dark for me but actually it's very flattering! 
 
I'm excited to read the book ... my friend has it and loved it so I'm sure I will too. Seeing the movie tonight! 
  I LOVE this month's box!! =D

 

[stylishmomofnw]

Just got my box, other than hearing about the wrap I kept myself miraculously spoiler free this month and I am pleasantly surprised as pretty much everything in the box would be something I would choose for myself. For me this box is much better than January and made me decide to keep the sub.

Wow, I wish I'd gotten the blue undies - so pretty!  I just got my box and I'm in LOVE LOVE LOVE with it!

  I got the purple undies and white wrap, both of which I love.  The chocolates are freaking delicious, I already finished the sweethearts, I'm definitely reading the Safe Haven book, and I can definitely use the jewelry cleaner.  The only "eh" item I got was the lip stain in "crush", which is too dark for me.. but that's ok, I'll give it a whirl and see if I can mute it.
 
For those who are upset about the "one size fits all" panties, have you tried them on yet?  I'm a voluptuous lady and I had no problems.  I've also heard nothing but great things about this brand of undies and how they fit.  I've seen a lot of chatter about the "one size fits all" concept but I haven't seen anything from anyone who's actually tried them on - so let me know if you have and what you think!

Maybe it was the automated response and they will reply with a personal message later?  Hopefully because you're right, that didn't make sense!
