Got home pretty late, but here are some photos! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Also that brownie is absolutely disgusting. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thanks for the pics! I do have a question about your scarf - I see that yours is grey and brown (or at least what looks like grey and brown to someone who can't sleep and is looking at pics on an iPhone at 4am lol). I thought the spoiler pic was purplish - I guess purple ombré is the fashion forward term to use ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> So I'm guessing there are indeed variations in the scarf? Yours is very pretty so I think I'll be happy one way or the other :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Mine looks purple and blue-grey right now, but when I opened the box it looked beige-gray and brown/raisin. I'm not sure if it's the light, or different sections of the scarf that I'm seeing, or what. I absolutely love it.

 
You know what's even worse?  A chocolate vegan wedding cake!  When neither bride or groom are strict vegans!  Ugh, that was such a disgusting and ugly wedding cake.  I'm sorry, but if it is a pastry or baked dessert, and vegan, it is no longer a dessert!  This brownie proves it! :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
I have to say -- I was a long-time vegan.   Vegan pre-made desserts are the WORST.   (unless you're going to Pattycake bakery in Columbus, OH) -- no plug... I just love them. 

That being said... I can actually whip up some pretty fantabulous vegan tasties.... but they're less than healthy.   I mean... a healthy brownie?   (Because i'm guessing that's what it's trying to be -- since urban remedy is a juice cleanse)  No dice!    

That's saying something from a once-vegan who actually likes the taste of pure cacao and carob. ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

The other looks pretty too, but I'm really hoping for purple. It's my favorite color! I just bought a teal ombré shower curtain to match my popsugar Turkish towels, so I love the style either way. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> That being said it may be a spring scarf for me! Already 46 degrees here in Wisconsin today! Broke out the Michael stars scarf from last Nov and it won't be long before I use the LE holiday one either. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

46 degrees? I need to relocate! Todays high will be in the 90s with entirely too much humidity! Can't wear the scarf til late Oct at best!

 
that scarf! i cant wait!! its going to be chilly here in upstate ny tomorrow and i just chopped my hair last night so i NEED this! maybe it will be in my mail when i get home! i also really need the knit hat from the fall LE box! 

 
I like what appears to be variations in the scarf in either color; the purple ombre or the brown ombre; both are pretty. I think this is a really good box month.

Ohh. I wasn't sure if the scarf had two variations so far, or if it was always brown, or if it was the lighting in the photographs. I hope I get the more burgundy one, but I'm sure I will deal if not. It looks so big! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Just FYI, some vegan desserts are really good. I have a friend who can make mouth-wateringly delicious vegan desserts, but they are not pretty. We also have two bakeries in town that make good vegan baked goods, but the vast majority of the vegan bakeries make really disgusting cupcakes. I've tried making vegan cupcakes myself, once, and I hate them, but my vegan brother-in-law thought they were good.

Babble about allergies: I used to only be allergic to cleaning products, which is only slightly inconvenient, but people didn't believe me, and thought I just didn't want to do dishes. Now, I am super allergic to gardenia, which is sad, because it is possibly among the best smelling things on the planet and gets snuck into products under "fragrance" sometimes, so it's a little unpredictable sometimes. But I count myself lucky, because I had a friend once who was allergic to anything lemon (can you imagine?) and on top of that people didn't believe her, so she always told people that she just didn't like lemon. Also, I had a step dad once who was allergic to every cheese other than mozzarella. He had the hardest time eating at restaurants, because the chef would always just put the cheese on anyway, and then when he complained, would just scrape it off the top, which doesn't help at all. Sometimes he would really want cheese and just eat it anyway, and then suffer with a headache for the rest of the day.

 
Edit on my earlier comment - I can actually eat the brownie because it's made with almond flower and I really liked it!  It was slightly too much vanilla, but other than that it was great.  I have different taste buds now though since I've been eating strictly Paleo for the last couple months, stuff that's too sugary is yucko.  This was just the right amount of sweet for me.

 
Ugh ... just tried my brownie (which looked like some truck had rolled over it a few times) .. after tasting it, I felt like throwing it behind my car and rolling over it some more. Completely inedible to me ...

Not going to even look at their website ...
AGREED!!! I took one bite and spit it in the garbage, no joke. It tastes NOTHING like a brownie and I almost laughed at the $10 of $50 card in the box.

 
OK, so the estimated delivery date updated from today to...Wednesday. Thought that seemed a little fast, especially for SmartPost. I suspect it will be here by Monday though.

 
My box comes today! I'll probably eat the brownie at work tomorrow so I can have more vivid reaction to type up to you guys. LOL.

I mean, gluten free? Suuuure :rolleyes: those are good. Dairy free? Awesome! I'm lactose! But vegan.. I'm like...

The brownie looks like a pile of SHIIIET. But why not try it since it's in my box.

I'm pretty sure I've had vegan treats before, but can't remember what they taste like because.. well, they're vegan. LOL.

I'm excited for the earbuds. I just broke the ones that come with my phone last night -__-

My cousin got her box yesterday &she's inlove with the scarf. So I'm pretty sure I will too.

I still want the Brokedown Blue Ikate scarf though /: Keep looking at it on ebay, thinking of purchasing...

You're welcome! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> My scarf is uh... well it's kind of hard to describe because it looks purple in certain kinds of lighting and brown in others. I do think that it's more purple than brown when I'm looking at it, but it does look more brown than purple in photos. XD I think you'll find the scarves are the promised purple ombré. :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Mine too! yesterday it said delivery 9/11 but this morning had updated to 9/16!  I thought it seemed fast but since it was only 2 hours away I was hopeful.........ya got me again Smartpost, fool that i am!

 
I think it's nice they included the raw brownie. Unfortunately, healthy stuff never tastes as good as unhealthy stuff but for those that are trying to eat that way, it was a nice inclusion. There is always the Ghiardelli (and pretty much everything else every other month) for people without dietary restrictions. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I think this was another great and well-balanced, fun box...I have to wonder why they can't accomplish the same thing with the Limited Edition boxes! Maybe it is another team of people working on it.

 
So I'm sure this is not a new gripe, but why does it take a week for my box to go a driving distance of 4 hours? I'm really looking forward to getting this box, and it's supposed to be really cool here next week -- scarf weather!

 
" Broke out the Michael stars scarf from last Nov"

I did the same thing. We finally got a somewhat chilly day and I actually felt a little jolt of excitement that I could wear that scarf again. I didn't even go anywhere, I just put it on and sat on my couch watching Big Brother. I love that scarf.

 
Just got my box yesterday! Was so excited to leave work yesterday knowing this was waiting for me at my doorstep :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Initial thoughts:

1) Scarf: beautiful and soft. I got the raisin color and initially thought it looked brown, but in different lights looked purple? Can't figure out if it's the same as the spoiler photo or not. Regardless, I really like it. But while I think many would disagree, I think I like the blue & black Marchesa scarf from the LE box better. I prefer the colors and design

2) Notecards & pencils: super cute! I had notecards on my Target list but just crossed that off! Very helpful :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I like that the pencils included a sharpener since I don't have one. I would've preferred pens but oh well :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

3) Earbuds: got these in cobalt and can't wait to test out. I'm rough on mine so these will come in handy at the gym :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

4) Hairspray: love! perfect for traveling

5) Chocolates: OMG SO GOOD

6) Brownie: haven't tried...not too excited about it though

7) Nike giftcard: need new gym shoes so I think I'll do to the store to try some on then order online

Overall I'm super happy :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Can't wait for October!

I know what you mean!  Mine made it to Chino last night, and departed Chino for Post Office in LA at 4:19am today.  I wont have my box until tomorrow?  How can it be "in transit" to the post office and not be here until tomorrow?  This is a one hour drive, only like 45 miles.  Are they walking it here? lol.  

I've never had a box take this long to get from Chino to La, it always arrives in my mail box same day.  But if tracking is right it isn't showing up today, our mail gets here in just a couple hours from now usually.
