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!!

A holiday outfit idea for women over 50 — festive, A holiday outfit idea for women over 50 — festive, comfortable, easy to wear and a trending color this year. #ad

As a woman in my 60s, I want a Christmas party outfit that feels elegant but never fussy: soft layers, a rich burgundy that reads festive without screaming it, and wide-leg pants you can actually move in. Dress it up for a holiday dinner or keep it relaxed for family photos — it works both ways.

Comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links! Are you dressing up or keeping it comfy for the holidays?

#ad Easy holiday glam makeup, coming right up… I #ad Easy holiday glam makeup, coming right up…

I wanted a festive makeup look that felt polished without being overdone, so I reached for L’Oreal Paris balms and embellishers for a pretty glow. I used a base color on my face and warmed it up with a darker shade for a little contour.

A bold red lip always makes the perfect holiday lip, along with dramatic lashes.

I used my favorite setting mist to help keep everything in place and make it last from day to night.

The best part? I picked everything up at @target and target.com making it super convenient. Grab yours now so you’ll be ready for the holiday season.

AD / COMPLIMENTARY TREATMENT: I received this DENS AD / COMPLIMENTARY TREATMENT: I received this DENSITY RF treatment at no cost in exchange for sharing my honest experience and review.

At 61, I’m always exploring ways to care for my skin and maintain a healthy, youthful-looking glow without surgery. This treatment caught my attention so I’m taking you with me to my treatment appointment at @orangetwist.alliance in Ft Worth, Texas.

So, what exactly is DENSITY RF?

DENSITY is a newer FDA-cleared, non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) skin rejuvenation treatment from Korea that uses controlled heat energy to reach both superficial and deeper layers of the skin. It combines monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency energy to help stimulate your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, which play an important role in skin firmness and elasticity.

What can it help with?
• Improving the appearance of loose or sagging skin
• Supporting firmer-looking skin and a more defined jawline
• Smoothing the appearance of fine lines and skin texture
• Encouraging natural collagen remodeling over time

There are no needles and no downtime. The treatment was comfortable most of the time with a few spicy areas, especially on my sensitive neck. My skin was a little red after the treatment, but that resolved within 30 minutes on my face and an hour on my neck.

While some tightening may be noticeable earlier, results can continue to develop over the following weeks and months as the skin produces and remodels collagen. Results vary from
person to person, and this isn’t an overnight fix, but I’m so excited to see improvements in my skin going forward.

I’m sharing my experience because I know so many of us over 50 are interested in non-surgical facial rejuvenation, collagen-stimulating treatments, and ways to support healthier-looking, mature skin.

I’ll be keeping you updated on my experience and how my skin looks over time!💗

Would you try the DENSITY RF treatment?

Save this post if you’re researching collagen treatments for mature skin that don’t have any downtime.⬅️

#ad As a woman over 50, I’m paying more attention #ad As a woman over 50, I’m paying more attention to my wellness routine and the little things I can do to support my body as it continues to change.

I’ve added two supplements from @ritual to my daily routine:

Ritual Perimenopause Hormone Support — designed to support women navigating the changes that can come with perimenopause. They’re formulated for women over 40 who are seeking hormone balance.

Ritual Essential for Women Multivitamin — to help fill nutritional gaps in my diet, because even when we try to eat well, we may not get every nutrient we need.

I also appreciate Ritual’s focus on ingredient traceability and transparency. And the good news? You can find Ritual at @target, too! 

Taking care of ourselves doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it’s the small, consistent habits that make us feel like we’re showing up for ourselves.
