What Box; Candy Club October 2015

What is Candy Club; A monthly box filled with candy

Cost; $22.99 per month for 6 months

What I paid; $12.99 for month one and $22.99 each month after

How to subscribe; www.candyclub.com

Choose between; Several questions are asked to figure out what type of candy you will receive in your box

What did I get?

1.     Primrose brand Peach Lemonade Drops

2.      Gimbal’s brand Gourmet Jelly Beans

3.      Gimbal’s brand Raspberry Chews

Thoughts;

The candy comes nicely packed. Each is separate in it’s own labeled container. The Jelly Beans seemed to taste like Jelly Belly’s, so those weren’t anything special. The Raspberry Chews were really good as was the salt water taffy.

Thoughts;

We started this movie later at night, knowing it was 2 hours long. I was very worried it would be boring until the middle to the end. I was wrong. This movie kept moving, the story line stayed away from the boring parts most movies thrive on.

It didn’t feel like 2 hours when it was done. The cast played very well with each other and the although a movie about dinosaurs is anything but realistic, this made sense as it was well put together.

Thoughts;

WAY TOO LONG

Generally speaking I like the Marvel movies. I think they are usually very well put together, have comedy, action and a good plot. This movie wasn’t put together very well at all and it was so dragged out I was wishing for it to be over.

The beginning was good, it wasn’t truly until the city is going up that it was like, ok we get it, but there is about another hour left after that.

The plot was there, the characters were there. It’s nice to see that Stan Lee is still alive and that all the original characters are back. I much prefer Don Cheadle as Rohdie!

Really fast shipping as these are ready to go!

This was my first time ordering and I am super impressed. Everything down to the labels is wonderful!

The owner is really personable, we spoke over PM on facebook regarding the order, I commented on how cute her email address was and she told me how she came up with it. We talked about how so many people have inappropriate emails, it was awesome! Not so many vendors are personable like this, even over PM’s a lot of them seem cold “why are you bothering me” I didn’t get that from Penny!

I was also very surprise as you think that all apple smells can be similar, well, with the different apples in this sampler, I could tell the difference between them, each had it’s own different notes. This is a vendor that I would definitely order from again.

Thoughts;

I placed the order for this sampler in August, however Brooke was pretty sick. I did just receive it in October, but was completely fine waiting because I was aware of the issues she was having.  Some vendors will have an extremely long turn around time and not keep in touch with the customers who have placed orders, Brooke kept up with her facebook group as much as she could with updates.

I have been in love with Rebel Rouge since she opened. She is about to celebrate her 1 year anniversary of being in business, which is amazing. I hope she stays around for a long time!
