Subscription Boxes

The Must Have Box

October 18, 2016

One of the subscription boxes that I most look forward to receiving every single month is the Must Have Box from PopSugar.  Yes, there’s an occasional month where I’m not completely thrilled with the contents of my box.  But overall, this subscription box is the bomb!!  I pay $39.95 per month.  I receive only full size products valued at a minimum of $100 (usually much more).  The products are a mix of beauty, lifestyle, fitness and more.

*I purchased this/Affiliate links

subscription box

The box comes with a tri-fold card inside describing each product

My October Must Have Box arrived a few days ago and it made me pretty happy once again.  Let’s take a look at the contents and their value…

Must Have Box

The theme of the contents of the October Must Have Box

Popsugar

Lalicious Brown Sugar Vanilla Shower Oil and Bubble Bath – I’ve already been using this luxurious bath product.  The scent is very light.  The product really moisturizes my skin and makes me very happy!  Retail $28

Power Your Happy Book by Lisa Sugar, the founder of Popsugar.  This is a bonus item in the box and has a retail value of $25.  I’m a fan of nonfiction books and good advice type books so I look forward to reading this one.

Henri Bendel Packable Umbrella – I love everything about Henri Bendel since it brings back fond childhood memories of my aunt in NYC.  This is a fun umbrella that I’ll keep in my car for rainy days.  Retail $58.  In addition, the box contained a 20% off discount code to be used on the Henri Bendel website or in store.  Score!

Rise and Shine Mug from Morning Culture – Who doesn’t need a few fresh new mugs every fall?  I love the size of this one and the cute saying doesn’t hurt either.  Retail $16

Revlon Colorstay Liquid Eye Pen – This is another extra bonus item that was included in the box.  I’ll keep this for when I need a fresh new eyeliner or just give it to my daughter.  I’m not a huge fan of this type of liner these days with my crepey lids.  Retail $8.99

Dark Drinking Chocolate from My Cup of Cocoa – I haven’t tried this yet, but love a cup of hot cocoa during the cold winter months while cozying up on the couch.  Retail $4.99

Makeup Eraser Mini – I love this travel size mini for removing makeup and washing my face in general.  It’s so soft!  All you do is toss it in the wash after use and it’s good for 1,000 washes!!   Retail $12

You can check out the POPSUGAR website to see if this is a box you’d be interested in purchasing.  With the holidays coming, remember that you can gift these boxes and make someone very happy.

What do you think of the October Must Have Box?  Thumbs up or thumbs down?

*I purchased this product with my own money.  All opinions are mine and aren’t influenced by anyone else.  Affiliate links are used in this post.  Thanks for your support!

    I got last month’s box, and I loved it – especially the black felt hat and the red lip gloss! This month’s box looks good too. I’d like the HB umbrella since it was one of my fave stores when I lived in NYC. I’d also love to try that Lalicious Shower Gel and I could use the Makeup Eraser too. Good box!!

Last week, the Cancer Hope Network brought the com Last week, the Cancer Hope Network brought the community together in Morristown, NJ for an incredible day of golf and pickleball.

Their fundraising tournaments were filled with hope, connection, and support for those facing cancer by providing free, one-on-one support to cancer patients and their loved ones. 💙 

Are you or someone you know is facing a cancer diagnosis? You can learn more about this amazing organization or donate, by visiting cancerhopenetwork.org today!

Cancer Hope Network provides free, confidential, one-on-one emotional support to people impacted by cancer — including patients, survivors, and their loved ones.

Here’s how they do it:

* 💬 Peer Support: They match individuals facing cancer with trained volunteer support mentors who are cancer survivors or caregivers themselves. These mentors offer guidance, hope, and understanding from someone who’s “been there.”
* 🤝 Personalized Matching: Matches are based on factors like diagnosis, treatment type, age, gender, and personal concerns — ensuring relatable and meaningful connections.
* 💙 Support for Everyone: They offer support not just for patients, but also for caregivers, family members, and friends who are navigating a loved one’s cancer journey.
* 💯 Always Free & Confidential: Services are available at no cost, nationwide, regardless of insurance or treatment center affiliation.

Cancer Hope Network’s mission is simple but powerful: “No one should face cancer alone.”

Good day my friends! I just got back from an amazi Good day my friends! I just got back from an amazing trip and I couldn’t be happier that it’s already the weekend.

I love coming home from a trip when I know that lots of online orders showed up on my doorstep while I was gone. Now it’s try-on time for the clothes and play time with the skincare and makeup.🎉
