Wow wow wow. 

I won't lie, I've been nervous about quarterly and all their canceling and cleaning house but I knew Liz wouldn't let us down. And this box was just perfection! I got the dark navy blue/red (which is a very subtle red to me) scarf and it is so crazy soft and stylish. The cleansing powder is sitting on my bathroom counter waiting for me to use it today, the candle is amazing (My hubby was so excited about this one. He loves a good candle and the wick fascinates him), and the coffee scrub....I could smell it as soon I picked it up still wrapped up. I'm looking forward to a luxurious spa day with that. I haven't tried Juice Beauty's stuff but I do have a ton of lip gloss so I'm debating swapping it right now. But even though I might not keep it, it was still a great addition. I'm really glad I decided to sub to this instead of just a one time box. No risking my spot each month when people realize how amazing it is! 

I do have one complaint and it isn't at Liz. It is at JustFab. I decided to take advantage of the code she sent to stock up my winter boot stash and didn't realize I had to hit VIP so the first time I entered my coupon? Invalid. I went back, looked at other boots, picked a different pair, clicked vip, entered the coupon....and bam. Coupon already used! WTF?! I emailed them but haven't heard back at all yet. I'm giving them till tomorrow and then I'll call and have them figure it out.

Thanks for posting. I couldn't figure out how to post photos again. It's the same wearable item as Hitha - but this is a gorgeous design. I think it's a great box. Nicely themed. The scent smells wonderful. The marked pages will really add to it.

I tried the tea and it's quite tasty and is definitely relaxing. I can see why that was included. I read the first chapter of the book and am enjoying it. It's something that meshes with my personal philosophy about success and it's so helpful to get that idea reinforced.

I wonder if her future boxes are going pertain to the ideas she writes about in her book? Clearly this initial box is all about the "well-being" component of the third metric of success. I wonder if we'll see her sending more tools to help accomplish the other components in future boxes? Just speculating ...
 
I read through the MSA01 list of items, why she included them, and I thought it was really nice and thoughtful. Also, if you ordered her box and are curious, she is doing a breakdown of why and where she ordered each individual piece on her website. Reading about the products made me sign up for the next box. Nov. will be an expensive month. 

 
I personally found the inclusion of JustFab to be a little suspect. I think the company is a bit sketchy and real pain in the ass to cancel your membership. Yes,  you can skip every month after getting your first pair of shoes for $10, but if you actually want to cancel?! Be prepared for a 30 minute phone call of someone trying to force you to remain a remember / basically refuse to do it. It was an absurd experience where I just kept repeating, "NO, I don't want to skip each month. I'd rather cancel." "No, I understand I can skip, but I would rather not have my CC info stored and potentially charged if I forget, please just cancel my account". I felt like an insane person for a moment.

Does anyone know where I can buy the simonetta scarf?  I got the blue/red one and love it - it is SO COZY but now that I've seen some of the pictures I really want the black/white one too.  But I have searched the internet high and low and can't find this brand anywhere other than shopstyle, and it's not the same scarf or the same price point.

Liz posted more about the scarf on her website today. She said it's sold out.

 
My outdoor quarterly currently was discontinued too  Making most of my boxes being canceled.  I wish I had some idea what is happening.    At least Nina is hanging in there.   

 
I got an email abt jessica comingore no longer being a curator. Disappointed as her box was the best one in a season of disappointing boxes (did not sub to msa's first box)

 I got an email that the fashionista  box was cancelled too.  There is a huge problem with quarterly not sure what it is  its very unstable

 
Something is definitely going on. To have that many boxes canceled makes me wonder if there won't be any contributors in the near future :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
They cut about 5 more curators, Amy Levin, The only magic left is art, Jessica Commingore (whose box I liked), Charles Tilllman and Alexa Penavega. I count 32 gone over the past 3 months and 32 left.  The 32 left still say subscribe except one or two.   For the first time, they sent me two surveys one for my MSA box and one for My Arianna Huffington and asked me to rate the boxes ad then asked what quarterly could do better.  I listed a number of things including telling people what's going on with so many curators dropped, improve on time shipping, oversee curators better, and give a bigger bang for the buck.  I do think they are trying to improve as it seems the last few boxes, MSA, Huffington, Melissa Joulewan, and even Jessica Commingore seem to be getting better reviews than a lot of the previous boxes.  I hope they find some better curators with diverse items (one thing I did really like about the Huffington box) or leave it small.  

 
For me, one of the biggest problems with Quarterly is shipping and filling orders. The reason PopSugar is so successful for me is that I always have a general idea of when my card will be charged and when it will ship.  Quarterly is all over the place with delays which can make it difficult if you don't know when your card will be charged.  It needs to be more consistent!  I contacted them to try and get a rough ship date for Nina's #ngq04 so I can be sure I have money in the bank for it. Although I am sure they will change the ship date a dozen times!!! :laughno:

I had another box cancelled this week making more than half the boxes I signed up for cancelled. None of the boxes I have ordered were shipped in a timely manner.  Lizs  box was the best with shipping so far. I have no idea what is going on with them but I find it upsetting to look forward to something only to have it cancelled. not just cancelled but cancelled with no explanation.  I am waiting to see what happens with Ninas next box if will ship before xmas

.

 
Well, I heard back from Quarterly. The best they could tell me is that Nina's #ngq04 will be shipping out mid-October.  How's that for vague?! :rolleyes:

If they ship out mid-October, then maybe I'll have a chance of getting it on my birthday. :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It's nearly 3 months after the summer one. I'm not sweating it, personally. Rather her get nice items together than rush a box (while having a life). I'm excited for it though.

The mature adult part of me is saying this is a reasonable and balanced attitude, and I should have the required patience to wait for what is sure to be a well-curated box of high quality items. But my inner Veruca Salt is wailing, 'But I want it NOW!!!'
