I'm a Vancouverite so I live in the land of yoga wear, although I don't dress that way myself. While I have a few of their things for working out, and even though they're Canadian, I can't support them given their recent PR issues:

1) "Lululemon Admits Plus-Size Clothing Is Not Part Of Its 'Formula'" http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/02/lululemon-plus-size-clothing_n_3696690.html (Abercrombie & Fitch flashbacks!)

2) "Chip Wilson, Lululemon Founder: ‘Some Women's Bodies' Not Right For Our Pants" (Skip to 1:42, specifically from 2:43 on)  http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2013/11/06/lululemon-chip-wilson-womens-bodies_n_4228113.html?ir=Canada+Business (Every Canadian news outlet was covering the story today, and not in a positive way.)

Look, I get what he's saying in as far as people sometimes wear things that aren't their size. But, Lululemon knew that the sheerness of their pants was an issue months ago and recalled them. And it's well known that the quality of their pants has been declining since they moved their production facilities overseas. So, when he blames the customer he only succeeds in alienating them while failing to solve the ongoing product issue.

But I digress. My point is that I doubt there will be any Lululemon items in the box because of size limitations and high prices. Even if PS included an accessory rather than apparel, it would still eat up a sizable chunk of the box's value. Plus, I for one would prefer to discover a new yoga brand that I'd feel good about supporting.

....Just my two cents

I'll third that! 

And I don't think @Eleda should feel bad for bringing up Lululemon! I still love my old Wunder Unders and I had no idea their founder was such an ... *expletive*. That's one bonus to MUT! We learn things. 

 

Okay ... now I'm going dark on this thread for real. I can tell one of you is going to receive your box tomorrow and I'll fail at going spoiler free if I stick around!

Aww thank you, now I dont anymore /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> the wait soon will be over, hope this box rocks!

Mine hasn't initiated yet. Before I used to always be one of the firsts now I'm one of the last to get my box... The stichfix necklace - for those that asked if it hasn't been answered- if you can't use the card because of size and email them they've offered people on here (I think through past readings in October) a necklace if you give them your stitchfix code

 

[greeneyedfoxxx]

Wow! My box is moving quickly this month! I may even get it tomorrow and if I'm realllly lucky, today! :cloud9:

 

[LindseyJ]

Really wanting spoilers today! I just updated my payment info this morning so mine will be shipping late this month. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Someone a page or so back mentioned their box was due to arrive today so we may just get them!

I'm immature and laughed too hard at this.

Anyway, my order is "initiated" and supposedly shipped yesterday. I'm not even going to say I'm avoiding spoilers because I know I don't have that kind of self control.

 

[indianaredhead]

Urgh, the Shipping info was sent yesterday at midnight or so...It looks like the box weighs about the same as last month.

My box is moving fast! Ever since they switched mine to shipping from New York it's been Soooo much better! As for the whole Lululemon thing, I bought some of their stuff a couple of years ago but since then Target has started making knock-offs. I was never impressed with the Lulu quality anyway so I'll take the knock off for 1/4 of the price!

 

[Bizgirlva]

A lulu headband wouldn't cause a size "**** storm" or whatever.  I seriously doubt they'd send Lulu anything, however we got a yoga DVD last November so yoga related product isn't an unreasonable idea.

Anyway, my box initiated out of NY last night, if it goes at it's usual rate I expect to see it next week....like  Wednesday.

If you are able to hold out to Christmas Day, there should be some sort of award given to you. LOL. I'm trying to go dark for this one starting tomorrow or so, and I already think I might not make it from the mailbox without opening it.  [/quoted] I agree! Award

 

[wisconsin gal]

Ooh! Should be getting mine on 14th! Fun! I'm so ready for a "fresh" box!!!

 

[Litigatrix]

I've been clicking refresh hoping by miniscule hope that I will see that I am getting off the waitlist and receiving November instead of December. Hope springs eternal!!  In the meantime I am stalking you all's boxes!

Last month, I got off the wait list early (got the October box instead of November) BUT I didn't receive that email until after most of the other boxes were received. So there is hope, but likely a bit of a wait until you find out. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Re: lululemon....I was just ok about them--thought they were overpriced and didn't fit me well. Until they decided to open a store in my area...and they spray-painted their logo and opening date all over the sidewalks in my town. It's been a couple of months and they're still there. I get they're trying to be all "urban" but I don't see why we have to clean up their graffiti.

Tacky.

I like Beyond Yoga clothing much, much better. The quality is so good--the cotton is super-thick and just gets thicker. They are too expensive most of the time but they'll have sample sales every now and then and I've gotten $60 tops for just $15. Plus, in regards to sizing, they are very forgiving...I've worn the same medium size tops when I've been in a 40-pound weight range (size 8 to size 14/16). They make them longer, so they do get shorter when you're heavier but still work.

Maybe we'll get a Beyond Yoga headband or top?!? hint, hint?

OMG lululemon in the box?! My two addictions: lululemon and pop sugar! I can't imagine that they could afford to put anything useful from lulu into the box. But you never know... It would certainly be a nice surprise /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My box has shipped and will probably get here in about a week. I can't decide if I want spolers or not. Some months I do,... I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but I've been happiest with the boxes that I've gone spoiler-free for.

 

[FantabulousLisa]

That would be cool if maybe this thing wouldn't use my FIRST AND LAST NAME as my screen name.... what the heck?? lol

You pick your own screen name or username and it doesn't have to be your actual name
