76/356: Milkshake, Cookies And A Pleasant Surprise

Normal day yesterday..

... I guess when using that terminology I should start thinking about what I am doing with this. The project should not be associated with the word normal. Anyhow, I had one of those adorable cookie monster cookies and the milkshake you see right beside the cookies.

Two reasons for yesterday's picks. I picked the cookies because I loved the packaging and then I picked the milkshake because just trying a new type of cookie didn't seem like enough "newness" and it seemed to go well with cookies. 

The cookie was really good. The milkshake was nothing to write home about.

Today I got a very nice surprise (this is not today's new thing) that I want to tell you about. Remember a few weeks back when I got my first fancy box and how I complained that the t shirt was way too big?

Well I wrote to Fancy and asked them to make sure that in future they would send me the t shirts in my size. I also told them that I will not bother with exchanging the t shirt because the cost of the shipping would not be worth it.

Today I got a box from Fancy, I was confused because I am not expecting the new box for another week or so. As it turned out, they sent me the t shirt in my size with no extra cost or demand to send them the wrong size back. Awesome! Great costumer service Fancy!!

48/356: The Fancy Box Arrives

I got my first fancy "Ashton Kutcher" subscription box in the mail today. I didn't really think about getting this soon in the last few weeks so receiving it was a pleasant surprise.

I am kinda dissapointed by the contents. Some items like the t-shirt and the socks are nice but they are way too big. The socks are size 10-13 and I am 8 1/2. The t-shirt is a L and I usually wear S. I am a little dissapointed because I let them know when I ordered that I was an S. Too bad, I really like the t-shirt.

The USB power adapter is a nice idea but no good for me because it needs an american outlet. Maybe I will gift it to a visiting couchsurfer.

the last item, a book, I am not too sure what to make off. I'll have a deeper look into it.

All in all I would have been happy if the sizes would have been good for me. I will write fancy again about my sizes and if they mess up again with the next box I will cancel this subscription for sure. Meh, I guess not all firsts can be great.

23/356: Apple Chips, Lemon Grass Iced Tea and Fancy Box Subscription

I can honestly say that my life has gotten more exciting since I started this project. Trying something new if it is only a new brand of food or drink usually doesn't do it anymore and I often don't even mention those on the blog.

A good example is today. I tried some Kids apple chips during work:

 Because I felt like that was not enough, I bought lemon grass iced tea at a specialty shop:

 

Today's true highlight was the the box subscription though. I assume you have never heard of this so let me explain.

There is a thing where you get a subscription to receive a box of goodies every month. Usually you will not know what is in the box until you receive it. That depends on the subscription service though. There are a wide variety of subscriptions out there.. actually way more than I anticipated.

I started frequenting this site called Fancy. It's a site about lifestyle stuff. I really liked what they have on there so I visit every few days. That's where I first stumbled upon the box subscriptions.

So on Friday I signed up for the Ashton Kutcher Box, which according to the web page linked further up is supposed to be really good. I am way more excited about this than I should be. Can't wait to receive my first box!

By the way.. this is friday's post. I was just to lazy to post yesterday.. so there will be a second post later today.

stay cool.
