I only looked through my box briefly to check for damage, as I'm saving it for later. I got the cannabis candle, which smells much better than expected. Not sure what lip balm, but I don't care either way. I got these socks, which are really cute and probably my favourites of the ones I've seen.

The marshmallows are delicious but I haven't tried to the cocoa (I don't like marshmallows in cocoa).

I got the cannabis candle and like the scent but I still think it's a little weird that cannabis and dark rum were the 2 scents chosen for this box, haha. I also got the peppermint balm and would rather have the cinnamon so I may trade that. All in all I am happy with this purchase.

Thanks! I've never had "fancy" marshmallows, just regular supermarket ones and I love marshmallows so I'm thinking I should try the "real thing."

Regarding the candle, I guess on a snow day you're trapped inside and aren't driving, might as well indulge...

I've never ordered from Birchbox before, but I ordered this box... is their shipping usually horribly slow?  The last time the status was updated was a week ago:

I have a bad feeling about that, you may want to shoot BB an email. Slow yes, it seems to stop in every single tiny state on its way when I order from them, but I have never seen such a delay in updating. Many stops usually means many scans/updates.

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of... I sent them an email, hopefully they will help me get my box!

Is it just me, or does it seem like very few people got the dark rum candle?
I contacted Birchbox since the Cannabis candle was giving me headaches without even opening it and they are sending me the dark rum instead! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got the same socks although I would have preferred the purple dot ones. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I ordered 3 Snow Day boxes (1 for myself and 2 for gifting) and I checked, all 3 had the cannabis candle... they were ordered at different times too, so it's not like they were all sitting together which is why they were the same.  I love the smell of the cannabis one though, so no complaints here.

I also may or may not have ordered full sizes of the marshmallows in all 3 flavors.  OMG, so good.  Now I want to try making my own!
