POPSUGAR Must Have is a really exciting box to get every month, mainly because of the types of items you get and their value. The retail value tends to be fairly high for the price and the items all tend to be very functional and useful. Unlike other boxes, there is no central theme each month, but a group of words and ideas that they used to inspire the items they choose. This month, the inspiration words were: Organization, Morning Routines, Celebrations, Caffeine, and Back to School. |
This item definitely fits into the celebrations part of the inspiration. I haven't tried these yet, because I had just used my last egg when I got this but judging from the pictures I've seen of them prepared, I would imagine they're much like funfetti cake (which I love) so I'm excited to give these a try! This one container makes 12 pancakes or 4 waffles! I think I'll plan to make these next weekend. This mix is 100% all-natural and also has directions for making them vegan. |
This was the item that POPSUGAR released as the spoiler for August. I was really excited for this one to arrive because my eyes are in serious need of some help. I have dark circles, I have bags, everything. I am NOT a morning person so I look like death any time before 10am. I've been using this at night before I go to bed for a few days, so I'm hoping it will help! The website says it can be used during the day under makeup or at night. |
I guess it's good for snacks and stuff but then I'm just carrying this and my normal lunchbox together so it kind of defeats the purpose. I guess it's kind of cute, but seems like something I'd send a kid to school with rather than use myself. | This is one item I'm not crazy about. It's pretty small, so not much would fit in this. I tend to bring leftovers to work for lunch and tupperware definitely wouldn't fit in here, or keep anything cold. |
Aaaand yet another item I'm not crazy about. I'm not really a fan of napkins, I tend to just use the cheapest paper towels I can find so I don't feel guilty about literally throwing money away. I'm sure these would be nice for entertaining, parties, etc, but I don't host a lot of people.. ever.. so these won't really come in handy any time soon. Looking at the website, this is probably my least favorite design/color combo too. That's just personal preference, but these seem like something for valentine's day. |
This is okay, I guess. I could always use more mugs, even though I have an entire cabinet full of them. It's a pretty simple design so it's not really anything special to me. It'll get some use, so I'm okay with it! | Eh.. not excited about this either. I try to stay away from things like this, but the ingredients don't list anything too terrible so maybe it'll be good. |
$79.00 for a scarf. Seriously. After looking at the website, it seems my personal preferences got the best of me again. I would have preferred ANY other color combination than this one. I hate pink and baby blue and the reverse side looks like a picnic blanket. Yuck. I love the design and the length and I love their other scarves, so really it's just a bummer that we got these colors. |
I keep telling myself (like literally everyday), today's the day I'm going to start doing yoga! I have a yoga mat that I've had since college and I actually enjoy doing it very much - it's just finding the time or motivation to actually do it. This 3-month trial might just be the thing to get my butt in gear. It expires 10/31 so I'm willing to bet that on 10/30 I'll redeem it so I don't lose it and maybe then I'll start! |
This box was just okay for me. I've seen a lot of people really enjoy this one so I know it's just me being picky. I had to cancel my subscription after this box because of financial reasons but overall, I'm going to miss looking forward to this box every month. I really enjoyed the boxes I received, for the most part. The retail value for this one in particular was amazing! It came to just over $200.00!! Granted, almost half of that was a scarf I didn't really like, but still - you really can't argue that total value! Head over to www.musthave.popsugar.com to sign up now!
