HELLO my fellow Michiganders /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> :hand:

Hey Girl!!!

Aww thanks! I was actually a huge book junkie in school, but then I kept failing classes because I would read all day and not do homework... so my mom tried to ground me from reading one year... it's really weird to smuggle books into your house and swear to your parents that they're for english class lolololol. I was suuuuuch a rebel. I don't think I'm well read though... I read a lot of YA books and sometimes chick lits. But I try to read around 5 "classics" a year. I read Persuasion by Jane Austen and The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne so far, so three more to go in that category lol. Also I read multiple books at the same time, is that weird? Right now I'm reading Eat Pray Love, Night Pleasures by Sherrilyn Kenyon, and this ebook called Kick.  I think the most I've ever read was 47 books in 2 months during summer break. I had no life that summer haha.

Omg I was the same way! I used to hide under my blankets with a flashlight and a book all night. My parents could never figure out why I was so tired... Lmfao. I'm currently reading a kind of classic... It's a huge book of all the works of Poe. It even has some of his short stories and poems that he wrote in his teen years! So good!

My box is still processing and still not tracking by reference :-/ I hope there is some movement soon.. Going through a break up and I could use a pick me up.

Hello ladies!

My box has been enroute to my local PO since this morning at 7! Usually when that happens I get it that day but it hasn't updated. Argh! Did it get lost leaving New Berlin? Maybe it is picking up those cheese curds after all...

Me too! Where is New Berlin? Is it near Kenosha?

Me too! Where is New Berlin? Is it near Kenosha?[/quote I have no idea lol I assume it's right across the boarder but given the illogical ways of smartpost it might be far north. My box finally made it ti my post office yesterday afternoon so hopefully it will come today.

Awesome! I got two collections of Poe works illustrated by Gris Grimly that I've been reading on and off throughout the years. His art is amazing and perfect for Poe! I got to meet the artist when he came by Richmond and held a book signing/show at the Poe Museum, which my college friend worked at. It was awesome!!

Got my box last night!!

Loveeee the diffuser. I really like that the oil comes in its own separate bottle so you don't have to pour it all in at once. 

Headbands I was pleasantly surprised by. I have a freaking HUGE head, so most headbands give me a raging headache after about 10 seconds - but not these! They're not exactly my style to wear out, but they're perfect for around the house!

I only flipped through the book briefly... honestly a lot of the crafts just looked kind of junky to me - but I'll give it a closer look tonight. I'm sure there's something in there I'll like! 

The coasters are so pretty - I have so many coasters though (contrary to someone's belief that they're old fashioned and out-dated, I think coasters are awesome!) so maybe I'll re-purpose these somehow...  

Haven't tried the snacks yet - but they're in my bag for an afternoon pick-me-up!

Oh.. and I didn't win the $500 

 

[AshJs3]

I think the book is much prettier than most of the crafts in it! LOL It will look very pretty sitting on my shelf!

hahaha agreed!!

 

[barbyechick]

is their shipping period this long usually? it feels like the first boxes were initiated a while ago and ...nope mine still not initiated lol

 

[jenniferrose]

Mine has not initiated. This is atypical for me compared to the last six months. I'm guessing due to the seasonal box.

 

[greeneyedfoxxx]

Still not even a tracking number for me. No fall box yet either though it's due to be delivered tomorrow. I can't wait to get my box so I can catch up on the boards! I'm trying hard not to get spoilers! This really is taking too long. The month is half over!

I just looked this up and need to have it! Lol. I'm loving that guys work. And lucky you on meeting the illustrator too! I'm a sucker for an artist... And he's a pretty good looking one too! the book reminds me of the Alice in wonderland and Snow White books illustrated by Camille Rose Garcia.

FYI for those of us still processing:

Hello,

We hope you're as excited about your September box as we are! We're currently hard at work making sure your POPSUGAR Must Have box is ready for your enjoyment, and we would like to apologize for the slight delay this month. Rest assured that all September boxes will be shipped out this week, and you will receive your tracking information at that time. We do hope you enjoy it!

Cheers,
POPSUGAR Support

Gonna post this on both threads, lol...

A research question for y'all...if you could choose between Glossybox and Popsugar (and you can only have 1), which would you choose? I'm considering a GB sub, but I have decided that I am only going to allow myself 3 subs and I wouldn't give up Birchbox or Yuzen, so PS would be the one to go. What do you think?

What $500? I want to order something from shoptiques but it's kind of pricy. I was thinking if we did a round-robin of referrals we could each get $15 off our orders, except for the last person. Do you think that would work?

 My box is "Marching Through Georgia" a wild 5-day tour of all of GA's hot mail hubs. Hopefully it will meander over to Alabama tomorrow.

I would choose PS. I had a problem with GB last year when I ordered a Refinery box and they never sent it. A person from Refinery even sent them email and nothing. They did send me a regular box instead /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Anyway, I still come back to GB, as back in August I got a Martha Stewart box and just recently ordered a Bridal collection box from only 25, whcih is great. So I do limited editions, one time purchase, and skip all the hoopla with subscription issues.
