~Good morning!  Is it freezing where you live yet?  It’s not *that* bad here (I’m in Michigan) yet, but by the end of the week it’s going to be straight up cold.  Although come January we will be wishing it was 38 out ;).

That's too cold.
That’s too cold.

~Just a heads up that if you got the PopSugar voucher from Rue La La back in September and have been hanging on to it, it EXPIRES on 11.19 (next week), so you might want to get that thing redeemed!  Note: We got full November PopSugar Must Have Box spoilers on Friday and you can check them out here.

~Have you tried this Starbucks Discoveries Peppermint Mocha yet?  I picked it up this weekend at Target (of course I did) and it’s pretty darn good, although I don’t quite get the “naturally flavored with other natural flavor” thing?  So it’s flavored with what again? Anyway, it’s good.  They have a Gingerbread Latte too, but I didn’t get that one.  Next time.

~According to the Quarterly Co. Facebook page, the Nina Garcia box is now set to ship mid-November.  First it was mid-October, then later in October, then early November and now mid-November!  It’s not the worst thing ever though since they don’t charge you still it’s ready to ship, but I am expecting so much fabulous from this box that I just want it here already!

~I got a little November GLOSSYBOX sneak peak in the mail this weekend. The OPI included in the box is actually called “Pink Inside the GLOSSYBOX” and is seriously the exact color of a GLOSSYBOX.  I am going to try and remember to do my nails with this before my full GB comes this month to do a good comparison!  And don’t forget that if you are new to GLOSSYBOX you can still use the coupon code “ALEXANI” to get a free Alex & Ani Bracelet in your first box!

~It should be quite a subscription box filled week around here too! I am expecting the Agent Ribbit, Beauty Box 5, Bespoke Post, Fancy Food and Fancy Rockettes boxes, Neiman Marcus PopSugar Must Have Box, Pantry Gourmets, Sample Society, Stitch Fix and Yuzen. I will probably end up getting ipsy and Love With Food this week (maybe Citrus Lane too), but I don’t know that they have shipped yet.  I am super excited about all these fabulous goodies coming in this week!

What’s up for your Monday? Any big plans this week?  And of course, what subscription boxes are you expecting? Oh, and if you missed it yesterday don’t forget to go enter my latest giveaway!

    Yes.. its cold here, and its snowing.. BRR and we are just over lake michigan from you! The end of our week?? 19.. lol

    1. Jennifer

      19! That is too cold!

  2. Amy

    It’s 25 degrees here in Minnesota with snow! Suppose to get 12-15 inches in my area in the next day! Had to find the boots and snow pants last night for school today. And yes they got on the bus this morning!

    1. Beth Rang

      I’m in Western Wisconsin (aka Minisconsin), and since we’re in a rural area where the bus rides can be treacherous, they let the kids off from school 2 hours early today. My son’s hoping for a snow day tomorrow, but I don’t know if it will be bad enough. A late start might make more sense.

    2. Jennifer

      Is it still snowing???

  3. Rose D.

    You are AWESOME! Thank you so much for the reminder about that Rue code, I forgot it expired, and was considering waiting for December. Just redeemed. Thank you again!!

    1. Jennifer

      No problem!

  4. Jaime

    Here in Utah we are still a warm 45 degrees! That’s awesome for November. As long as there isn’t snow I rock my flip-flops!

    1. Jennifer

      That’s balmy!

  5. Adriana

    Here in Texas it’s currently 52 degrees, but it’s supposed to be warmer today, high 79 low 61. That peppermint mocha looks good!! It supposed to be just like a creamer?

    1. Adriana

      Is it*

    2. Jennifer

      It’s a full ready to drink iced coffee!

    Today’s high is 84. I keep having dreams that I’m back living in Wisconsin, I miss the cold.

    I’m going to have to look for that peppermint mocha stuff! Peppermint is probably my favorite and the #1 thing I look forward to each winter. Peppermint ice cream, oh my. I found a box of peppermint drumstick icecream! I’ve been using a little bottle of peppermint mocha creamer. It’s the size/shape of those little flavor packs for adding to water bottles, but 3x as strong as the regular creamer. I would have just got a regular bottle but I can only find the gigantic ones and I don’t drink enough coffee to use one of those! Especially since they say to use wihin 2 weeks of opening.

    1. Jennifer

      Where did you find that little creamer bottle?? That sounds awesome!

      1. Laura

        Fry’s (Kroger). It’s called CoffeeMate 2Go. They sell it by the non-refrigerated creamer.

  7. Hilda

    It’s cooling down here in LA this week finally. It was 90 over the weekend and I’m over the heat. It will be nice to feel like Fall around here for a little bit. My Neiman Marcus Pop Sugar is scheduled to come today and even though I know everything that’s included, I’m still excited to get it.

    1. Jennifer

      I am getting really excited for mine to get here! I want to check it all out in person!

  8. Kristen Tourne

    It’s going to get cold here in Texas (57)! So excited!!! So are you ordering your 2015 planner from Erin Condren? Or have you already ordered it? I was curious as I am think I’m finally going to pull the trigger on my first one! I was wondering if you got the same design and also if I can use your referral link!

    2. Jennifer

      I’m never really into the toys one anymore. Just for legos!

  10. Crystal

    Well that settles that, I will never live up north!! I don’t even know how I would begin to shop for clothes & get dressed for all day 30 degree weather. I live in GA & it was 37 this AM but quickly rose to high 60’s. Which I am okay with. Lol.

    1. Jennifer

      Ha. You do get used to it!

  11. PA Anna

    Later in the week it will be cold. I will be on the other side of the state where it is warmer. It’s our big week with my older son and sister. Hershey, Tran Siberian Ochestra, conference, fun and did I mention visiting outlets including the Pottery Barn outlet.

    I’m displeased with USPS. My HomeGrown Collective Box says out for delivery. My substitute mailman was kind enough to look through the truck for it. I hope it is still at the post office and not delivered to a different address.

    I think my Birchbox order should arrive this week consisting of the woman’s Conscious box and the Vanity Fair box. Eco Emi might show up this week. Maybe HomeGrown Collective box.

    1. Jennifer

      I hope it just ended up left at the Post Office! Maybe it will come on Wednesday???

    We are about 10 degrees higher than normal. It is in the 80s here in Phoenix, and I am ready for a cool down. We are still in shorts and a tank top. I want cold! Coming from SC, it is hard to get into the holidays with such hot weather. You put out Christmas decorations at high 60s is kind of weird feeling.

  13. Mrs. L

    Yeah, cold around here is relative. It will be cold…which to us is about 68 degrees. I just wish the cold came with some rain. At least we’ll be able to light a fire in the fireplace at some point this week.

    I buy the Starbucks cartons that come out in the summer, which are carmel machiato etc. Though they are supposed to be served over ice, we tend to use them as creamers in our coffee. During the holidays I usually just use a carton of eggnog as creamer 🙂

    1. Jennifer

      68! That’s summertime!

  14. Alecia

    I got my Nov BB5 today. It wasn’t my favorite….

    1. Jennifer

      I’ve seen some spoilers and I am not overly excited. But then again it was only $6 so that’s good!
