This one was a shocker. I usually get the current month's box 7-15 days into the month. I have a spreadsheet, so I know exactly when the previou ones came. The June box, however, arrived on May 30! They completely bucked the trend on this one, and I can't help but wonder why. Vacation? Preparedness?... Continue Reading →
A Year of The Maple Box
Start: Summer 2022 End: Spring 2023 Total Spent: $501.76 including tax Total Value: ~$800 before tax Unlike most subscription boxes, The Maple Box does not do a lot of communicating. There are no annoying requests for feedback, or selling add-ons, no newsletters, or really anything. It's basically radio silence. There aren't even shipping updates. When... Continue Reading →
Loti Wellness Box – May 2023
It's interesting that since they stopped including the information sheets in the boxes, they only revealed the contents online a couple times. Is this a sign that Loti Wellness is going downhill? Will Loti still be around next year? It feels like it's going the way of Extraordinary Man Box. April's box contents reveal still... Continue Reading →
Loti Wellness Box – April 2023
As of April 16, Loti has still not posted a list of the box contents or sent an e-mail about it. My box arrived April 12. Loti Wellness Subscription Box Overview Cost: $55.95 CAD + $10 shipping + Tax My Cost: $72.73 Value: $100+ Frequency: Monthly Cancellation Policy: Cancel after minimum commitment Payment: Every 10th...

Let’s Go Eco – Spring 2023
It's spring and Let's Go Eco has brought us some spring items: from flower seeds, spring cleaning items, to spring water, this box is bound to delight many people. Let's Go Eco Subscription Box Overview Cost: $89.99 CAD + $10 shipping + Tax My Cost: $104.49 Value: $150-$200* Frequency: Quarterly Cancellation Policy: Cancel any time... Continue Reading →
Loti Wellness Box – March 2023
Only three more boxes until I have fulfilled my subscription contract with Loti. Cancelling doesn't appear to be a straightforward process. There is nowhere in my account with an option to cancel (despite the FAQ saying to go there to cancel), so I suppose I'll have to e-mail them when the time comes. June 10... Continue Reading →
Loti Wellness Box – February 2023
It took 12 days, but I did finally get a response from Loti last month. They had an issue with their shipment of sprays, so some subscribers ended up with a mask instead of the spray. Things happen, but this really should have been communicated adequately. A mask and a spray do not have the... Continue Reading →
Loti Wellness Box – January 2023
Oh boy Loti. What happened this month? They really dropped the ball in a variety of areas. First off, they stopped including a packing list and the workbook. I couldn't care less about not receiving paper copies of the workbooks, but I did like the packing list. There really should have been some warning about... Continue Reading →
Loti Wellness Box – December 2022
What cities do I want to visit? Well, there are so many... Oh, the prompt has nothing to do with my blog. Darn. Anyway, it's another Loti box! It didn't come in its standard box because it contained an oversized item. I happen to like this oversized item. Spoiler: it's not the booklet. Loti Wellness... Continue Reading →
Let’s Go Eco – Winter 2022
One thing I really appreciate about Let's Go Eco is how smoothly their company seems to run. There is plenty of warning about exactly when and how much you're going to be charged, which I find helpful. If you have a subscription, you're only locked in for two boxes for the simple reason that there... Continue Reading →
