[@Alexandria-Ryan]

Hey guys! So I kept seeing this box advertised and I couldn't help but try it! However, its a little different than I expected! Let me know what you guys think about it! Love ya💖

[@samhunter6831]

Sorry looks like you don’t get your monies worth

[@halfofmyheart3167]

I wouldn’t get it again. It looks like they are ripping their customers off. 💞

[@Sorchia56]

No relaxing eye mask? Foot scrub? Not very Spa friendly. Seems more as a “toss this lot of rubbish in a box, charge an enormous amount and we get to go to an actual Spa” company subscription box to me. Cancel that one, yikes!

[@louiseb6111]

I don't know if this matters Alexandria but... On the right hand side of the Amazon page when you're showing off the donut book cover, it says 'Deliver to...' and hasn't been blurred. 😬 And I don't know if it's your name or place lol but thought it best to mention it just incase. It got me a tad worried but please do ignore me (obviously) if I'm talking through the hole in my 🍑!! 🤦🏼‍♀️😂👌 P.S. I don't shop through Amazon so don't know how these things would appear on screen. And so, won't know if you were doxxing yourself or not! 👍

[@kimberlylott1459]

If I were you I would cancel this sub. Box it is majority skin care every time. I ended up canceling mine. Much love from Minnesota 💖💖💖

[@JennJarvis]

Am I the only one who loves watching Alexandria unbox subscription boxes solely for her reaction and occasional rants? I couldn’t care less about the boxes themselves 🤣

[@ANPC-pi9vu]

I am not even a girly girl and have no use or interest in 98% of the products, but she's just so damn lovable!

[@Oldman_toby]

I’m a guy and I don’t wear markup but I just like to watch her talk about the items in the box. I’m here for her excitement and disappointment in boxes that she opens.

[@makaylacerda8402]

Exactly

[@mistyk.2152]

She got me into FabFitFun but nothing else seems worth it. I still watch every single video

[@juliestanding316]

She gives me anxiety.. she's too much

[@Gildedpossum]

If you told me this was a dollar tree box, I would totally believe you 😂 I cannot BELIEVE they want $50 for this

[@katherinemacphee5502]

I even bought one of the extendable back massagers there.

[@deannaprunes5846]

I’m pretty sure you could get most of this at the Dollar Tree. You should do a Dollar Tree remake of the box. 😂

[@dsgirl868]

A dollar tree box would be super fun!! I work at dollar tree in a very small town in Ohio and I tell you what we have some amazing products that work so well and such cute decor

[@namelessgrace6319]

Yes! Good idea. I love Dollar Tree. Haha

[@molnotmole3428]

You can use the “headband thing” to cover your hair when eventually painting your eventual forever home.

[@Itsadewsy]

This was the worst subscription box ever. I cancelled no less than three times and finally had to get a new card and have my bank deny any other charges from them.

[@Sofia-ge5wu]

Oh I had a protein subscription box like that. Ended up with the bank refunding me for lots of months.

[@WillSing4TP]

Omg, that's terrible!😲

[@ANPC-pi9vu]

Report them to Better Business Bureau for being a literal scam. These companies can not keep getting away with charging people for stuff they did not order and ignoring subscription cancelations.

[@appalachiancat]

Yikes

[@Sarah_Grant]

Knowing Alex then....she'll have it FOREVER....😒😒😒

[@dawnmcanany5673]

I think this box is a One and Done. No need to waste any more money on a box you can recreate for probably under $20. Loving all the new videos, they bring a happy place in a trying world.

[@mirandalynn7108]

That’s so funny when you said old school stretchy book cover. I’m really feeling my age since old school to me is using an inside out grocery paper bag and drawing all over it lol

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

Yes! I remember just being happy when our grocery store started printing lines on their bags to make it easier to cut them up to fit books!😅

[@mirandalynn7108]

@@shaunacorrigan9372 yes!!! 😂

[@grannym2880]

Oh, then I must have been real fancy. We got (used) wrapping paper. 😅

[@WillSing4TP]

Omg, yes!🤣🤣

[@DKR08]

Or using the comics from the Sunday paper!! 😂

[@kaskus7147]

It definitely comes off like a box full of dollar store stuff.

[@hollysmom250]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@Crohns_journey]

Came here to say this

[@ANPC-pi9vu]

Literally is Tenmu in a box, with massive upcharges on the junk. Huge scam. Also, when you see a product with a designer's name no one has ever heard of and that sounds like two famous people's names combined, it's usually a made-up designer that a Chinese company invented to trick people. Charlotte Tilbury + Jeffrey Star = Charlotte Star was the first thing that came to mind. When I googled the name all I got was a model turned porn star from Australia. LMAO

[@LindaKayHolevas]

“It tastes how a Dollar General smells” 😂 I don’t think I have ever heard someone describe the smell of a lip product that way:) You are always enjoyable to watch, even though I am old enough to be your mom.

[@amykh7647]

I feel the exact same way. Definitely old enough to be her mom, but that’s probably what makes me feel so proud of her!

[@coracarp3819]

Me too! I find her hilarious!

[@isirlasplace91]

Me three!! She always makes my day when she posts a video!!

[@WillSing4TP]

Me four!🤭

[@PolishedAfterSixtyYvette]

Me five! She’s so much fun to watch, and puts me in a good mood.

[@angie.castle]

So many videos these past few weeks, and I'm grateful. Thank you for feeding us lol

[@Alexandria-Ryan]

Haha thank you so much for watching!!

[@Jocelyn-ct5zj]

My son was literally just playing with that exact back scratcher at the dollar store right before I watched this video!

[@GothBoyUK]

I have those mystery hairs too. You check regularly and they're not there. Then one day, bam, a two inch long thin wisp. It's witchcraft. 😂

[@rochellegreen]

Same!

[@r_27P]

Same!

[@Christine__D]

I get one every November. I mean seriously what the heck lol

[@bec7080]

One day they won't be a wisp. *Laughs in old person*

[@GothBoyUK]

@@bec7080 Tell me about it, I'm in my 40s now and there are things they *really* should teach you about in school. You need to be given decades to prepare yourself for what your body becomes. 😂

[@KatieKitty2003]

" ... if you put enough pressure on it, it might snap a little bit." Can relate. 😅

[@blugreen123]

Much like life. 🤣

[@deen.5232]

Vanity mirror with zoom had me laughing so hard I almost fell off the elliptical at the gym 😂

[@alexshaw8167]

Falling of an elliptical is honestly far too easy

[@vioviovi6880]

9:18 The nail thing might be a result of accidentally cutting into your proximal nail fold. That's a part of skin that should pushed back but not trimmed since it prevents bacteria from entering the space between nail and finger.

[@brandywinetyson8115]

I think the Chanel Advent calendar had a better value. That’s how BAD I think this box was. Lol

[@WillSing4TP]

😂That Chanel box was the worst!

[@christiannalittle1631]

O'Keefe's working hand lotion is the absolute best thing for hands and cuticles ❤

[@Sorchia56]

Absolutely agree with you! Amazing for hands and feet!

[@rawrxheather]

Their chapstick is really great as well! Just an amazing brand!

[@SL-pr1lw]

This box definitely comes across as a box of dollar store stuff. The values they’re claiming shocked me.

[@mandapiee1763]

As crappy as this subscription box was, I feel like this was one of the funniest videos. You are just such a bright light with your personality😂❤

[@deborahrood2753]

Nope!!! Definitely not worth it. BTW I was told by my doctor to never trim the cuticle. This was after I got a serious infection in my finger. She told me to just gently push them back. Have a wonderful day!

[@Nicolesid1]

I was told the same "be a pusher, not a trimmer"

[@ghostyplans]

Yeah! Never cut them!!! Push them back gently!

[@gwendolinehall1386]

This is great advice! The redness is a little bit of infection, hands and nails hold so much bacteria, so hard to avoid. Bacitracin can help that with the antibiotics in it, Neosporin doesn't have the antibiotics in it and isn't as good. A urea cream can be great for keeping cuticles looking good. Generally it's just great to ditch cuticle scissors!

[@rynfiaryn]

Nail tech here. There is a massive, extremely widespread misunderstanding regarding cuticles in this world. Most people think their cuticles are the small ridges of skin over the base of their nails. This is NOT cuticle (Edit to clarify: This skin should not be cut or aggressively pushed back. Deeply moisturize daily and gently nudge back if overgrown only). Cuticle is the thin layer of dead cells that grows out from under that ridge and sticks to the nail plate. It is perfectly safe to remove this if you are gentle about it and don't cut any living skin. You can watch videos by The Salon Life here on KZbin to see the difference.

[@robinhoward4204]

I use the cuticle sticks regularly- rubbing in some balm like papaw ointment helps too if they get a bit inflamed.

[@thisintrovertknits]

'Vanity mirror with zoom' is an AMAZING work around!

[@MessiestJessie]

I would love to watch you make candles. Or do other craft type things. Or even bad crafts like 5 minute crafts. But I would love to know more about your store.

[@TeeKing]

This box is what prevents me from subscribing to such services; I'm afraid I'd get a bunch of expensive fodder I don't need that I can buy at the Dollar ²⁵ store. Watching you unbox these subscriptions is a vicarious experience for me. ☺️

[@lindahughes5781]

You were so kind when describing everything. Instead of me saying this is awful, what junk. You are like, well, I am not mad at that it's fine! PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!! CANCEL!!!❤😂😢😅

[@halfofmyheart3167]

I think the people that made this subscription box are ripping their customers off. I would love to see a new subscription box, but I wouldn’t waste my money on this one. 💕I hope Tater is doing well.💗

[@shaunacorrigan9372]

Anybody comparing this box to Fab Fit Fun *has* to be getting paid to say so. I mean, come on, $50?!? Also, those stretchy book covers started to become popular when I waa in high school (and no longer needed book covers) and I was so jealous that kids got to use those instead of spending a whole night cutting up paper grocery bags!😅

[@WillSing4TP]

You are correct. Blue light is NOT a thing. In fact, many red light therapy masks have blue light as well. It helps with acne.

[@madyd6447]

I IMMEDIATELY thought of those book covers when you pulled out that scarf loll

[@Parsley96]

You are a hoot girl!! I hate it so bad about y’all losing the house!! Hope y’all find another one even more fabulous than the last one. ❤❤❤

[@kelseywillow8110]

Maybe the dog enjoys the massage roller. It totally looks like one of those items that you can stretch your pet and chill on the couch yourself 😂

[@montananerd8244]

Those stretchy book covers made me kinda mad. Using paper bags or even pre-designed paper covers took soooooo long to do that first night after school started...I was bummed that they didn't invent stretchy covers in time for ME! Lol

[@stoney-51999]

These videos make my days easier, it’s nice feeling like we’re just chatting! Thanks so much Alexandria 🥰❤️

[@christiemcbaine2805]

😂 you cracked me up! I lost it when you said “Panda” and kept laughing throughout

[@knittingnana2939]

And you can use that mirror to pick up dropped screws, bolts, sewing p ins, etc because it's magnetized. It's multi purpose. 😂

[@kcesca]

"Vaniety mirror with zoom" is the 1st time I have genuinely laughed at a YT video in weeks. Thank you.

[@shirleyq3023]

Well that’s one ripoff box there is no way that should cost $50 love your videos ❤❤

[@singingscience]

My husband also has a forehead hair. He calls it his Third Eye and pretends it has magical powers. 😂

[@ericalewis4870]

Idk what’s more funny, you saying magnetized or me not realizing that you used the wrong word 😂😂😂😂 I was like yeah that sounds right

[@annadover976]

I just love you. You are like a friend I get to watch. Thank you for being you.

[@morigahn]

Id like to see you recreate it and see how much cheaper you can, i love those style of videos from you.

[@texastornado91]

Until your cuticles heal up try to apply an antibacterial cream and bandage to them- usually for a few days. Then just be sure to keep them moisturized and never clip 😬

[@rachelquichocho8313]

I needed your video today. Just found out my lab of 10 years has bone cancer the has eaten his back leg. He has to be put down next week.

[@Alexandria-Ryan]

Oh my gosh I am so sorry! That is absolutely heart breaking! My thoughts are with you both!

[@boogiebear3095]

Wishing you and your lab the best

[@rebeccajo-ann7494]

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear about your pupper. I wish you the best in this hard time. It's so hard to lose our best friend. I'll be thinking of you and sending my positive thoughts your way.

[@shirleyq3023]

So sorry 😢

[@jmarshal]

Always ready for an Alexandria video! ❤

[@melodysayer2226]

You have no idea how badly I needed the laughs from this video today! Thank you!!

[@erinsheline8398]

"It's fine...this is fine" You had me rolling with that freaking back scratcher 😂😂😂

[@Emma-sj6wp]

Local white girl here! Yes, absolutely if you use anything with Vitamin C in it wear a higher spf. Made the mistake of useing a Vitamin C body scrub before going to the beach and am currently purple in places 😅

[@winniethepooh1990]

I love when I open KZbin my Alexandria uploads🥰🥰🥰

[@Mollyrae0607]

Ooo a new box. Hope you’re doing ok, love seeing vids from you 💜 no matter what they are

[@craftmom5302]

I don't want you to waste your money on that box again but if you do I can't wait to watch you just shred them 🤩

[@maryellenputnam-reinhardt3305]

Box. From. He'll. Jeasus! Enjoyed your take on it of course !

[@klessard2862]

Ahahaha, I died at the, "It tastes how a Dollar General smells." I cant, I just, Can't!! 😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆🤣😆

[@lauriefaber6627]

omg the worst box ever! love love love that you can make any unboxing into something so entertaining!! that's true talent, woman. solid talent.

[@MarlowMayhem]

The magnifying part is such a mood. I did the same with the word cot

[@rayofsunshine15]

The bandeau can be used to protect your curls or in my case waves at night when you sleep without have to put your hair up.

[@RetroMonkey1999]

It can be used to wrap straight hair too to keep it sleek and undamaged. I have waves and love putting my hair up in a scarf at night to dry while I sleep and it puts so much extra wave and volume without having to put a ton of gel or mousse etc.

[@jeng3805]

That long random hair that pops up now and then is usually a hormonal thing, I get one that shows up in the middle of my forehead, I'm like I swear that wasn't there last night!

[@appalachiancat]

I'm so happy to see so many videos. ❤❤❤

[@boogiebear3095]

I love the color of the top you are wearing.

[@Alexandria-Ryan]

Thank you so much! Its one of my favorite colors!

[@emilymulcahy]

As a seamstress I can tell you that there is fabric that only stretches one way there's fabric that stretches two ways and there's four-way stretch fabric which is what athletic clothing is made of, and even no stretch fabric can stretch if cut on the bias, (instead of up and down or side to side, bias cuts are from corner to corner)

[@emmaforget-vanier8301]

Just finished watching the house drama and a new video pops up? I am blessed lol

[@glizzygoblin]

the dollar general comment reminds me of how I’ve always said Mcdonalds sprite tastes how a hotel room (like a holiday inn, bestwestern, that kind of quality) bathroom smells 👌

[@chandrasunny]

I have that same random forehead hair, it's almost perfectly clear and shows up out of nowhere! I call mine my unicorn hair

[@honeybee1740]

I adore her hilarious awkwardness..Im just awkward. Thanks lovely you have prevented me from wasting money. I love trying new sub boxes.. keep smiling 😊

[@barboconnor390]

Don’t waste your money on this box. I’ve seen a new Taste of Home box that has kitchen gadgets and cook book type things. Maybe try that one once?

[@nfcapps]

People use Bandos for Tube tops and skirts too. It's for everything you can think of.

[@kathymarine1164]

I have had my laugh for the day...Thank you, Alexandria...love your videos

[@pam1905]

The forehead hair cracked me up. I used to get one LONG hair on my upper arm. The first time I saw it, I thought it was a head hair that had fallen out. I was really shocked when I realized it was growing out of my arm. The hair was prob 4 inches long. Wild hairs! 😂😂😂

[@its_me_bree]

I do love those infinity bandana scarves for hiking and kayaking. Good sun cover and easy to keep your hair out of your face. The rest I could do without lol. Thanks for being our guinea pig for subscription boxes!

[@ocd_annaleigh]

Mirror with zoom! You are so relatable! ❤

[@shelly2094]

Hiiiiiii I absolutely love these videos from you! ❤

[@Alexandria-Ryan]

Hi!! Aww thank you so much!

[@brandynelwell6168]

The stretch part was hilarious!!!!

[@Bananacake390]

I don’t watch a lot of haul/unboxing videos but yours are always so fun to watch

[@m.service5584]

I don't watch ANY others; I just love Alexandria!! (Plus, I don't care about the majority of the products anyway; well, unless she does DECOR!!)❤

[@hayleymariemills]

You should go to the dollar tree bc i guarantee you that you could find these items (different brands) there & then do a video of it!

[@hello_lydie]

Put a cute sticker or one of your wedding proofs on the mirror. Laminate it and glue it on

[@AccidentallyOnPurpose]

I can confirm that blue light damage from devices is not a thing.

[@kaylamckeon4254]

Totally agree with you there. I am no scientist and I have stared at my phone for years and the only thing that has changed is how round it is.

[@AccidentallyOnPurpose]

@@kaylamckeon4254 Studies show that it takes months of continuous exposure to blue light to even equal to 5 minutes in the sun. If someone is truly worried they should just wear a daily sunscreen, most of these products are just overpriced moisturizers with antioxidants, which only even help your skin *after* light damage.

[@snakewithapen5489]

Yep! I actually have read scientific literature on it. There is some evidence for it causing eye strain (take breaks from devices every 60 minutes or so), but nothing of the sort than can damage your skin in any way. Blue visible light wavelengths are not at all powerful enough to cause damage to your body. Similar case with EM radiation, you don't have to be scared of that stuff.

[@bec7080]

​@@snakewithapen5489it's like they saw "oh, eye strain is a thing and blue light blocking can be sold to help that. Let's just put "blocks blue light" on everything

[@kirstenperez4265]

I bought that telescoping massage thing at dollar tree. I use it on my cats. That's all it's really good for.

[@brandonp5846]

I totally understand what you meant when you were talking about thinking stretchy fabric stretched in all directions! Very recently while shopping for a wedding outfit I found out that there is 2-way and 4-way stretch fabric! 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️😅

[@silverbell2356]

😂😂. You just made my day. I Google everything all day long. 🤣🤣

[@mquentaro]

Sis uses a bandeau to protect her neck from drafts when she's sleeping. I use one to cover my hair, to protect it from dust and getting caught when cleaning or gardening, or just to get it out of the way. A quick tube scarf when I need to pop outside. Compact, soft, easy to use and wash.

[@lynnwales2937]

I use those headband stretchy things for keeping my hair corralled while it dries.

[@planetbea]

i hold all my stress in my shoulders/neck so i feel your pain, literally. i feel like i tense up a lot and end up with such achey shoulder muscles

[@jenniferdeer9528]
