Uh Huh Her
On the subject of canceling subs: I'm finding that I'm actually looking forward to what I get in my subs each month a *lot* more now that I've cut *way* down on them -- and the ones I get are now a lot more focused in product type. At one point, I was getting multiple Birchboxes, Glossybox, ipsy, and I don't even remember what else. I was probably getting at least fifteen packages from subs a month. Now, I've pared things down to one Birchbox (on an annual sub which will renew on Saturday, if I recall correctly), Starbox, SquareHue (nail polish only), and Glamour Doll Eyes (one loose pigment a month and sometimes miscellaneous extras. This is another annual sub, although this one is already paid for until the end of the year). Oh, and Fortune Cookie Soap, although that's quarterly. I also have Scratch (nail wraps) and Julep (nail polish), although I skipped Scratch this month, and I've been skipping Julep probably three out of four months for the past couple of years.
Now that I've cut things down, when a package shows up, I open it and immediately start playing with the contents instead of getting it, maybe opening it, maybe not, setting it aside for a few days, and maybe not ever getting around to even *trying* everything because I have *so many things* that I get overwhelmed. Getting fewer things is turning out to make everything more fun!
