Thursday Thoughts


I'm linking up with Jen from Ramblings of a Suburban Mom for Thursday Thoughts.

My Golden Tote for April should be arriving tomorrow and I can't wait! I feel like I'm missing out on lots of great trades, but I'm secretly hoping I love everything in my tote, so I don't have to trade anything! I had the worst dream about my April Golden Tote this week and now I'm so worried it will come true. In my dream, I didn't get most of the items I ordered and did not receive enough surprise items and the ones I did, I didn't like at all. Also, I wanted to try everything on so bad, but kept getting interrupted in my dream and wasn't able to. I woke up annoyed and still waiting (in real life) for my real Golden Tote to arrive. I should pay for faster shipping, so I don't have to torture myself like this, but I always forget and just try to order as quick as I can, so the items I am trying to order don't sell out.

Does anyone else dream about their subscription boxes or am I just crazy and far too addicted?!?

The weather where I am is driving me crazy. It's seriously 80 degrees one day and snowing the next. And now I have a cold/allergies/something. Anyways I hate being sick and am a total baby about it. My mind is always so cloudy and I just can't be productive at all when I'm sick. And trying to prepare to move and being unproductive definitely do not go together. I'm hoping whatever I have goes away very quickly.

I've cut back on subscriptions recently and the months seem so much longer now. I would love to get boxes all the time! If only I could win the lottery, so I could buy whatever subscription boxes I wanted!!!

And one thing I'm going to bring up that annoyed me this week. I ordered from Birchbox, so I could get the adorable Yumi Kim iPhone case! I received my package this week...and the Yumi Kim case was not included. It was on my order, but not in the box. Birchbox customer service has always been amazing, so I called and to my disappointment I was told they were completely out of Yumi Kim cases. Apparently they sold out much quicker than anticipated! So, I didn't get one, even though the code worked fine and the case was added to my order. Boo hoo hoo. I know...it shouldn't be a big deal, but I so wanted that case. It was perfect for spring!!! Perfect!!!

Birchbox did add points to my account to make up for me not getting the free gift with purchase, but I'm still bummed. No fault on them. It seems to happen to me often, I always miss out on those great opportunities for gifts with purchases or amazing coupons or whatever. It's just my luck I suppose. 

What are your Thursday Thoughts?

    1. The Golden Tote Trading Group on Facebook seems to be where most people post their items to trade. It was started by Golden Tote and I've always had great luck with it! I'm kind of excited that I loved everything in my tote this month and everything fit great!!!

    1. Yeah, the more points the better, but now I'm debating getting one of the Limited Edition: Free for All sets. I think I would like everything in it. But a home box sounds amazing!
