Obsessive Wristband Collecting

I did not make an unboxing vid, but I have some photos to share.
So basically, the Zox subscription box is a "mystery pack" every month. You've always been able to buy mystery packs for twenty bucks, and it's exactly what it sounds like - three random straps. They're even in sealed, opaque bags so not even the packing people know what you're getting. This means sometimes people get lucky and find super-rare straps in their MP. If that were all, I would not have been as excited about this. But it also includes access to the Secret Stash, which right now is pretty restricted. You can only buy one of each design, and if you're found swapping or selling them, you get your subscription cancelled. Plus shame. Shame. *bong* Shame *bong* Shame *bong*
You can, however, gift the Secret straps. :)
They're also saying that at every three-month mark there's an extra gift, and they are also contemplating using the subscribers as basically beta testers for shirts and other stuff. So this is a really cool way to expand one's collection.

First this is just the ones I wore to my appointment. "Run The Night" and "Amaze." They both react to blacklight.

Two of the Secret Stash straps - Glass and Memories. Glass is a gold, which means it's one of the first one hundred made. Most straps are limited to 2,000 pieces and then retired.

My MP haul. The one in the back is "Misfits," which I'm not sure I actually like, so I may swap it. I haven't really gotten into the swap lists or eBay side of collecting but as I get more MPs I'm sure I'll end up with ones I don't really want.
I'm still puttering around trying to keep myself busy. My guts still hurt and I'm still SUPER ANXIOUS ABOUT EVERYTHING. I think I'll finish cleaning up in the kitchen and make some breakfast stuff, maybe go run on the treadmill. I have tomato seedlings that need transplanting to the garden, but I waited too long to get outside and now it's hot, so I'll try to do that tomorrow.
