POPSUGAR Must Have February Box

Happiness truly was delivered when I got this box. lmao.. PopSugar Must Have boxes are some of my FAVORITE subscription boxes ever in the world! It used to be 39.99/month to get an awesome box filled with beauty and lifestyle items. Things are changing at the PSmh offices as they switch over to a quarterly box. They are now (this one is the last monthly!) going to have quarterly boxes at $75/month. They said that each box will be over $200 worth of product, so I'm totally interested in seeing how that will work out!

Anyways - this last monthly box ... SURELY did NOT disappoint!!!

Below are the items in the box:

K. Hall Designs | Peony Jar Candle | $26
Tokyomilk | Shea Butter Handcreme | $22
Nima Oberoi Lunares | Heart Vase | $49
Droga Chocolates | Money On Honey, Dark Chocolate Brown Rice Crispy | $4.99
La Soula Jewelry | Universal Love Bracelet | $39
Tokyomilk | French Kiss Parfum | $30
Stella Artois | 2 Limited Edition Chalices

My favorites this month -- were dang, like all of these items! lol! my life is always in need of handcremes and this one didn't disappoint. It's a beautiful floral scent! And the chocolates, I'm shamed to admit are already gone because it was so delicious. I thought the Stella glasses were a really unique touch, especially since this is in partner with water.org to provide five years' worth of clean water for someone in need for each chalice sold!

You can purchase these at the POPSUGAR website here :)
You can use code SHOP5 for $5 off your FIRST Must Have Box.

POPSUGAR Must have June Review!

It's that time of the month again!! :P Hehe - of course, I'm talking about POPSUGAR Must Have month :P If you don't know what popsugar must have is, it's a monthly subscription service of beauty, lifestyle, food etc.. for 39.95/month! Although for me some items will be hit or miss (as will all boxes), this box has always been well worth the value! - probably overall my FAVORITE subscription box of all time! 

Here is this month's June Summer Contents!!! 

These were my favorite items in the box! Naturally, I gravitate toward the beauty items - but I'm literally getting a haircut today and my cuticles have been the desert ... and I'm hoping to host a part this summer so I loved these three items! 

Captain Blankenship, Mermaid Sea Salt Hair Spray $24 || NCLA So Rich Mermaid Tears Cuticle Oil $18 || Meri Meri Blue and White Party Straws $5.95

I always LOVE snacks in my boxes. so naturally... the cookie stash bag is completely empty and I'm waiting to give the frapp to my hubby! The starbucks frap also came with a coupon, which was a nice add on! 

Belgian Boys Cookies 99c || Starbucks Frappuccino $2.19

This was one of those items I could do without, but is nice to actually have. Especially since I'm going on vacation in less than a month, it's nice to actually have this to use! It's a fun spash-proof zip pouch! 

Aloha Collection Ocean Coco Palms Pouch $36

These two items were the slight misses for me. I could see why they are in the box and I could totally see how fun it is, but its just personally not my cup of tea. I'm not really a trucker hat girl, nor do I really enjoy doing "beach reading" with these sort of hollywood glamour type things. I will know EXACTLY who to gift these to since I know many people are!! :) :)
Billabong Aloha Trucker Hat $17.95 || The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo $26 

So even though there were more 'misses' to me than most of my popsugar boxes, it was still a great value!! Even though you pay $39.95/month, this box was valued at over $131!! What a deal! :)

Then were some other items that I would use on my office! A cute calendar ($25), happy notes (8.99), mint tea ($10.75), glad candle (smells so delicious like summer! $4.99)

Lastly, not pictured because I've been using it everyday was a hair towel that you can tie your hair up with after you shower. I've been LOVING it!!! ($18.99) 

Another great box in my opinion. Not necessarily all products I would purchase myself, but wouldnt mind to have for fun! And that face peel is worth so much!!!

It also had a delicious bag of Oogie's Toffee Butter Popcorn. It is gluten free and all natural. I shared it with some of my students and they were obsessed with it! || $3

Then was this cute little palette from Stowaway Cosmetics. I've never heard of this brand, but this is such a cute versatile palette that would be perfect for travel. Honestly, look how small and cute it is - it's about the size of a credit card (but a little bit thicker) || $25

And how about this gorgeous Kendra Scott bracelet. It is so elegant (so not me) - this is going to be a perfect gift for my friend who is so stylish! I love how it is rose gold and has such a cute white stone! || $50

PopSugar Must Have October + Life Update

PopSugar Must Haves are some of my favorite subscription boxes on the market! It's a subscription box of beauty, lifestyle, food etc for 39.95/month. (They even have a "mini" box for 15.95... SO CUTE!)

The October Box sure didn't disappoint! For me, it was the perfect box for a rainy day to stay in (I themed it myself HAHA) I was expecting something halloween-ish, but there wasn't any! LOL!

Here's whats in the box :)

Henry Bendel Packable Umbrella: $58 | Lalicious Brown Sugar Vanilla Bubble Bath or Shower Oil: $28 | My Cup of Cocoa: $4.99 | Morning Culture Mug: $16 | Makeup Eraser: $12 | Power Your Happy Book: $25 | Revlon ColorStay Liquid Eye Pen: $8.99 

The first couple things I took out were the Lisa Sugar (founder of PopSugar)'s memoir. I've seen this all over social media and am SUPER excited to read it and get inspired!! I also LOVED that there was this cute mug and cocoa - makes me really feel like the holidays are coming! 

The next set of items were more beauty/skincare items. It has a mini makeup eraser - which I have a bunch of the full size ones - so I'm excited to have a small one for travel! It actually works AMAZINGLY and get all of your makeup off easy! I'm also a liquid liner person, so I'm excited to try out this Revlon liquid eye pen! Lastly is the Lalicious shower oil and bubble bath - it smells SO Good!!! I don't tend to be a shower oil kind of girl, but because of the yummy sugary vanilla scent, I may give it a try! I'm hoping its not too oily - my husband always complains I use items that make him want to slip in the tub lol! 

Last up was my FAVORITE thing in the box - the Henri Bendel umbrella. It's been raining a lot here in NY, so I was so excited to have another umbrella in my life - but this one is so chic and cute! It's definitely something I'll always wants but never would purchase because of the hefty price! 

In total, this was a box worth $152.98! (WOW!) The umbrella alone made the whole box worth it! (seriously, I can't with this umbrella, I was so excited) I personally liked this box because it had awesome neutral items that I find most people would enjoy (except maybe the shower oil because some people may not like the scent!) What do you guys think?? Worth the price???

ftc. this box was sent to me by pop sugar to review, but all opinions are my own! x

Also, thanks to all my friends that reached out to me about my sickness. I had bronchitis and literally.. this cough is wicked. Thankfully my fever and stuff are gone... I was even able to enjoy (as much as I could) a weekend away to Atlantic City with good friends. 

Thanks to my friends at DriveShop for loaning me this AWESOME Mitsubishi Outlander GT for us to ride in! Although it comfortably fits 5, there is an extra third row where we were able to squeeze 7 of us... LOL! 

As you can see my hubby and my good friends boyfriend are totally living it UP! lol

Hope you all have a lovely week and stay healthy and safe!!! Xo

PopSugar Must Have: June

AHHH! This Popsugar Must Have June box came JUST in time to celebrate the end of another of teaching done! This box was all about outdoor festivities, togetherness, and fun fun fun!

If you dont know, popsugar must have is a monthly subscription box of 39.95 of full size products with a retail value of over $100. Here is what was in this box's June box!

1. Wild and Wolf : Ridley's Game Room "Who Am I?" Quiz $12.95 | 2. Hat Attack : Neutral Diamonds-Printed Sarong $58 | 3. Sisters of Los Angeles : "Cheers" Gold Bottle Opener $12 | 4. NCLA : Born on the 4th Nail Lacquer $16 | 5. Knock Knock : Are You Ready Compact $10  | 6. Pacifica : Underarm Deodorant Wipes $9 | 7. Pressels : Sriracha $1.29

 Of course for me, beauty is always most important :P I've always loved the pacifica underarm deodorant wipes. This is my first time trying the kale extract one - it does have a very strong kale scent, but these are a perfect on the go product! The compact is a cute bite size product that is perfect for your purse! And the NCLA polish will be a perfect topper to any fourth of July nail look!

I'm personally not a game person, but my friends are - so this would be a great game to whip out on a summer evening to play. This is a fun, silly game to guess celebrities! And this Cheers bottle opener - is PERFECTION. #1 its GOLD. and #2 it's perfect to display on my bar cart!

 Lastly are these two fun items. I'm going away in a couple weeks, so this perfect neutral sarong is going to be a perfect accessory to cover up! I love the print of it - just enough to make it stylish but classy. I can't tell you how these Pressels are because my husband opened them and ate them all in one sitting. SIGH. haha they must've been delicious. LOL.

Hope you enjoyed this haul of the June box! Definitely worth the $40 splurge for me! What did you think??
