Two questions today…
1. What color is your bedding / bedroom? I realize this is a random question, but I am so curious. The walls in my bedroom are beige (like every single other wall in my house because I don’t know what colors I want them painted) and my current bedding is white. With the kids and the dogs white is more practical than you’d think because it can easily be bleached. But I have always wanted a deep red duvet. Or something else fun and bright. I can never find anything that I love (that’s reasonably priced anyway), so I stick with the white.
2. A Battle of the Boxes if you will. Which do you prefer? Birchbox vs. ipsy? Loot Crate vs. Nerd Block? Citrus Lane vs. bluum? POPSUGAR vs. FabFitFun? These questions are hard for me, but in general (and this changes based on the month), I would pick Birchbox (love their point system), Citrus Lane (although now that bluum allows you to customize their boxes that may change) and POPSUGAR (they are the first subscription box I EVER subscribed to so they are kind of extra special to me). As for Loot Crate vs. Nerd Block, I am not sure? I haven’t gotten enough Nerd Blocks to answer that so I will have to defer that one for now!
1. Well, When its done it will be Revere Pewter that has been everywhere recently. Its just such a great light grey. The whole house will actually be this color. All of our last houses were beige too, It really is universal. And Beige and red is a really nice combination.
2. I have never gotten Birchbox, because I love the Ipsy bags. They really come in handy and for $10 I get products and a bag!
We loved Citrus Lane too, even though it was a miss a lot of times.
For myself, I honestly love Little Lace Box. I know, I know, I have read about all the bad thing too, but they have been really good to me. I swear they really know me, I always seem to get the sent and colors I want. I totally just jinxed that. Popsugar is a gold standard though, they always deliver great items, even when they are a miss for me.
3 walls of my bedroom are a medium grey and the wall behind out bed it a dark red. Our headboard and stuff is black and our bedding is dark red (more of a magenta). I don’t do white or pastels too easily.
1. My walls are beige with a tiny bit of yellow, the previous owners painted them that color. Eventually I’m going to repaint them either almond creme or light gray, they’re both so light and versatile. My furniture is stained maple. My bedding is dark magenta-pink with teal accents, my rugs are multi-colored (in a good way), and my curtains are ivory… very Moroccan-colors. My husband wanted plaid or stripes… which is exactly why he is not permitted to decorate anything but his tacky man room and the garage. 🙂
2. Ipsy, only because I’ve never bought BB… with that being said I am not a huge Ipsy fan and only subscribe once in a blue moon. FabFitFun, I can almost always talk myself into buying a box each quarter and find something useful! Whereas PSMH I pick and choose which month’s I want.
My walls are turquoise!!! My room is turquoise, coral, and gray … I have a gray and turquoise chevron comforter and a coral blanket on my bed. 🙂
Ipsy all the way! I did birchbox for a months, but I didn’t like a single one. Too many face/hair products. Ipsy is more actual make up, plus a cute bag!
1 ugh we moved in our house in 2010 it was decorated by older folks, lots of wallpaper. my room is a neutral but its getting to be time to remove and paint. I have been at least wanting to change my bedding which is taupe and steel blue fleur style and I have been searching for bright colors that pop. So I havent found “the one” but its time and I want total opposite of whats there.
2 Birchbox for the points system and I love the limited editions. I flip back and forth on lootcrate and nerd block, It has been lootcrate for a long time, but the themes have not fit me for a while and I have been loving my nerd block classics last few months. The ghostbusters one was super. And Popsugar really takes the spot light in my world. And Zoe box of style. But Popsugar really offers some new trendy things that I was not aware of needing. I love the mix of items they cover. I really like fabfitfun, but the last few havent been epic to me. Like the umbrella for instance, we got one, a very cool one in popsugar already months ago.
1.) 3 walls are white, 1 is grey/blue/smokey color
2.) Citrus lane, pop sugar, ipsy and loot crate. But….I’ve not tried birch box or nerd box.
My bedroom is pretty awesome.. since I made it that way. The walls and ceiling are a pale grey, doors and trim are a flat white. I spent hours upon hours looking at paint colors to find the perfect colors and while picking the white was somewhat easy, the grey was different. I picked a darker grey, my boyfriend picked a really light, almost white grey so we met in the middle by having my grey lightened at home depot by 50%. The walk-in-closet walls are turquoise, I think the name of that color was mermaid something-or-other. Curtains are turquoise, bedding is green/blue/turquoise chevron on white. Dresser & bed are espresso/blackish. The only thing I don’t really care for is the beige-ish carpet but eventually that will be replaced.
I only get Birchbox right now. I keep thinking about getting ipsy, but I don’t need any more bags and I prefer the brands BB sends. I used to get FFF & PS at the same time but the majority of the stuff I got I never used. I’ve thought about Loot Crate or Nerd Block, but from reviews there’s usually only 1-2 items I might like.
1. Pale Grey-Lt. Blue. The whole thing. I needed it to be really relaxing, so I thought of the sky but that’s too bright. So I toned it down. The duvet, sheets, bed-skirt & the walls are that color. Then I have a vintage set of medium color wooden dressers and vintage lamps in gold & lt. blue. It’s very streamlined and simple for maximum boredom! (ie. sleep)
2. I had Birchbox for a long time & loved the points but all those samples wore me out. So I’m taking a break from all beauty boxes. But I still love reading about what everyone else is getting!
1) Our bedroom is a taupe color & the bedding is a dark brown & red boho-type design. My husband can’t stand pastels or light colors for bedding. I tried that when we first got married and he was not a fan.
2) Birchbox, Nerd Block, Citrus Lane & PopSugar. We are now trying to decide between Nerd block Jr for girls and Egg Drop. My 7 year old loves the blind collectible toys, so we’re trying both out. She got her Egg Drop yesterday and loved it. The NB for girls is supposed to come next week.
1) We are renting so all our walls everywhere are offwhite. Our current bedding (for fall) is tan sheets and a tan & green cover. But we have this awesome purple and offwhite bedding on our wedding registry so we’ll pick that up (if no one gifts it) when we close that baby out in late October. Yay new bedding!!
2) I don’t like Birchbox or Ipsy just because I never end up using sample size things. I always save them for travel but then I usually don’t want to mess with stuff I’m not familiar with and go for the easy stuff when I pack. I definitely prefer PopSugar over FFF… over most boxes actually!
