March 2014 Popsugar Must Have Box Review

I was incredibly shocked when I got an email at the beginning of last week telling me my Popsugar Must Have Box was on its way. Mostly because I thought I had cancelled after getting last month's half-off. I meant to cancel it.

Honestly, I'm glad I didn't cancel it though. I really enjoyed the contents of this month's box (well, except for one, but we'll get there) and I'm thinking of maybe forgetting to cancel one more month. Let's move on to the goodies.

The contents

First thing's first: The pink bundle in the lower left corner is a mini exercise ball. That was the one item I would have liked to be something else. I'm sure it's good and has many uses in regards to getting fit, but I know my dog will pop that sucker in no time. So for now, it's going to stay in storage, deflated. 

Snapea Crisps

The must-have food item was a bag of snap pea crisps. I LOVE these things. They're crunchy & light and SO tasty. I'm actually not sure I've had just the plain lightly salted kind, but I don't think you can go wrong. The wasabi ranch flavor are my hands-down favorite and incredibly tasty. They're a perfect snack, but I tend to eat most of the bag at once. Oh well, they're healthy, right? 

Brokedown Scarf

FINALLY! I got a popugar box with a scarf (yes, ok, this has only been the 3rd I've received, but still. This is from the brand Brokedown, and it's soft. The colors are perfect for me. That shade of blue is one of my favorites to wear and I paired this with a white tee, black jeggings, black flats, and a "leather" jacket today. It was actually 60 degrees and I swear I was in heaven. I just sat outside being warm in the sun between classes. It was glorious. 

Dogeared Necklace

I've been on the Dogeared website before and wanted a piece of jewelry from them, so of course I'm thrilled it was included in this month's box, along with a 20% off purchase code. I'll probably pick something else off. Anyway, you're supposed to make a wish when you put this necklace on, and when the cord breaks, the wish will come true. In the mean time, wearing it is supposed to bring luck, with it being a horseshoe and all. I'm going to Atlantic City next week, so I definitely need all the luck I can get. Hell, I'd need all the luck I could get even if I weren't going. Anyway, this necklace is delicate and definitely something I'd choose if I could pick on my own. 

Bauble Bar Ring Holder

How adorable is this bauble bar ring holder? You just slide your rings down the elephant's trunk for safe keeping. This is a fantastic, creative idea. However, like everything else, the dog ruins this for me. He has a tendency to take things off my bedside stand when he thinks I'm sleeping in too late in the mornings. He'd definitely grab this if it were up there and I don't want him ruining it. I also REALLY REALLY don't want him eating my wedding ring, so I think I'm going to put this in the bathroom to keep track of rings in there. 

Jurlique Serum

This Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum is pretty great. I currently have a slight rash on my hand from the gloves/chemicals at work. I rubbed this over the rash, just to test it out when I first opened it. When I looked down a few hours later, the rash had definitely healed up some. I'm going to rub it on tonight too, and hope it goes away. I used it on my face this morning and it hasn't made my face greasy or anything. I broke out from the Argan Oil serum in last month's box, so I'm glad this one worked out. It also brightens the complexion up too. I might try it out without any makeup over it to see how I like that. 

Fig Bar

A Nature's Bakery Fig Bar was a special little extra this month. I think these are tasty and I'll definitely throw it in my bag to snack on during the day. 

This month's box was a clear winner. I don't know whether I liked the scarf, necklace, or serum the most. I think I'm definitely going to forget to cancel this subscription for one more month, and hope April is full of spring-y happy items like this month's was.
