You Know You’re Addicted to Subscription Boxes When…

When you’ve developed the habit of taking several reusable grocery bags to the mailbox so you can carry all your boxes without dropping them all.

Having a box full of really nice things ready for any last minute unexpected gift then realizing you can go shopping here at home and since you saved so much money, you sign up for another box just to reward yourself.

You know you’re addicted to subscription boxes when you’re out of town for a seminar (or anything) and, after telling him you’ve had a rotten day, your hubby sends you a pic of all your boxes stacked up & waiting for your arrival back home… and it is enough to turn your day completely around & bring your smile back quickly!

when you start food delivery like blue, apron and driftaway and wonder what took so long!

When your kids are playing outside when the mail is delivered and you overhear the carrier saying, “Tell your mom her packages are here!”

When you are hesitant to make plans after work on a Friday because you know a box you’ve been waiting for is supposed to arrive and you just really want to go home and open it! 😀

Had to add this one.

When you drop your kids off to school in the morning and see the ups truck (who doesn’t typically arrive until early evening) and you follow him to see which neighborhood he deems more important. Then you are not too embarrassed for ups stalking to post about it. Hehe

You know you are addicted when you are suppose to pick up your new car tomorrow at 3 and worry that you might miss the boxes so you check to make sure it is not being delivered tomorrow, lol.

When you tell yourself you are going to cancel a few to help out your budget…. and then resub the next day lol

When I’m up at midnight on a Sunday night / Monday morning seeing if the Zoe Box is available ( after checking the site 20+ times prior ) , then when it isn’t I set my alarm to 4 am to try and see if it’s available then …. inspite of the fact the only spoiler is a gold tone bracelet I wont wear ( i dont wear bracelets or gold tone ) , and the box is $100! – Yawn, Yawn, time for more coffee!

-When you have enough black eyeliners, hair products, and “lippies” to possibly supply a team of makeup artists at NY Fashion Week.

-When you no longer have to buy gifts for anyone due to your stash of sub box items.

-When you get on your husband for buying personal care items – when he could have just “shopped” through your samples!

When you never have to worry about having enough travel sized products when you go on a trip!

-Addicted because not only do I subscribe to 20+ boxes, when I really like the box I buy multiples, then I still have to order more of the products I really like online as backups all to end up on the swap boards. Even after all the swapping you still end up with an over abundance of things and now you have a designated room or two to keep your stash that your fiancée officially refers to as “your happy place”
-Also your on first name terms with the USPS, Fedex, and Ups delivery man/woman and they always say “see you tomorrow” (everyday)
-When you know your Amex credit card number by heart lol 🙂 Help!!
-When your friends ask “Did that come from a sub box?”

When you decide to pass on getting a couple glasses of wine at dinner because, well, you could get a new box with that money. I mean, hey, you could even get a box with three bottles of wine for the price of a couple glasses…

When you wait up all night for a new Sub to launch, like right now for Rachel Zoe!!

When you subscribe to additional boxes like nerd block, sports block, and loot crate so your DHB and boys cant be so mad that sub boxes keep coming.

When you have three MSA tabs open at a time so you can refresh comments on different discussions.

When you have two or more subs to your favorite box, because two is better then one….

When the first two weeks of the month’s mail sucks because there are NO boxes until at least the third week…

And of course like Liz said…that dreaded “label printed” status that seems like it takes FOREVER to get moving…..

And when you consider creating a review page or youtube channel to justify having so many damn subs! lol 😉

When you subscribe to Julep because it looks so pretty but you don’t wear nail polish and you don’t actually wear very much makeup but sub to a bunch of makeup boxes

When the MSA site is bookmarked on all browsers you use.

When you tell your boyfriend that you’re getting a sub for your mom for Mother’s Day, and he says he thinks that would be a great present for his mom too, and then he says that he thinks the sub you got him for Valentine’s Day (which he’s received only one of so far) would be a good present for his dad for Father’s Day.

Forget just beauty products… Thanks to swapping, when you don’t have to go to the store for almost ANYthing any more!

When you leave used products you don’t love in the bathroom at work for people to help themselves to.

The depression that sets in when you get no doorbell ring or a package at the door at the end of the day! <3

When you’re super excited new reviews and spoilers have been posted for boxes you’re not even getting!

When you have a talk about moving in with your boyfriend and you have to disqualify houses based on not having enough storage space for your makeup/skincare/haircare stash.

FOMO. The struggle is real!

When the mailman puts all the Birchbox boxes in front of your door….even if they aren’t addressed to you.

When you organize the assortment cards by month and box. Am I the only one who keeps the cards?
When you leave a comment on a post just to receive the email to read about what everyone else thought about their box. (Clicks Notify me of follow-up comments by email) lol!!

when your box has been stuck at the Sparks Nevada dispatch center for over a week and you seriously consider driving there from California to pick it up personally! 🙂
