POPSUGAR Must Have August 2014 *SPOILERS*

[boxesandboxes]

Does the weight or initiation location determine if you are getting earrings or a necklace? I noticed there have been two weights - 3.7 and 3.8.

I have two packages - one weighting 3.7 initiating from Calif that should include a towel and one weighing 3.8 initiating in NY. Thoroughly confusing.

doubt it. just think it's ppl that enter info from the logistics site. I don't have a towel coming, mine is 3.7, and coming from CA. I have pierced ears but don't know what I'm getting.

So my eldest son helped himself to the protein bar yesterday. I cut it in half for the picture, left it on the plate and went upstairs to tell my daughter it was hers once she was done with her shower. She had just come back from a two mile run so she really wanted that bar. I came back - gone for only two minutes - and the bar was gone, plate empty. The twins were outside with my youngest daughter so I knew it wasn't her and I got the eldest boy to confess it was it him. He hated it. He took one bite and threw the whole thing away! I was so mad at him. Thankfully Stop & Shop (New England grocery store chain) carries these and I was able to get a replacement bar yesterday. My eldest got her bar today and LOVED it. I took a bite and didn't care for it since I thought it was too bitter (like dark chocolate normally is). Getting her a box of it for her since she loves to run. So it was a hit with her, a pass for me.

That Kendra Scott discount code is burning a hole in my pocket already. I've not even had it for 24 hours, lol. She has such great stuff!

Of those who received the earrings, did you have 'earrings' marked as your preference in your account? I'd prefer to receive them but have marked 'necklaces' as my preference (and have pierced ears) and am not sure which to expect!

I have earrings marked. I also have silver marked, and not gold, and I did get the silver "frame".

Although I would have loved the earrings, I am happy with the necklace. I wore it yesterday and got lots of compliments. It is very small and delicate and rests right in the hollow of my neck. I have been really into layering necklaces lately and this Kendra Scott works well with layering with my long Gorjana necklaces.

FYI--I marked that I have pierced ears but prefer necklaces and I got the necklace instead of the earrings.

I hope that I get the earrings. The necklace is pretty but that length won't fit my neck size. I have it marked that I have pierced ears, but I don't have any preference for jewelry.

My box has an estimated delivery of 8/21! Good grief.

I prefer dark chocolate so it's no wonder I loved them. I picked up a box at Target yesterday. I will be eating one for breakfast this morning. I tend to eat protein bars for breakfast because they are just so easy as a breakfast and starting the day with a lot of protein sounds smart to me. That said, my husband is in medical school and has been stressing to me that starting the day with sugar is really bad for your metabolism. I was sad to see my usual Builders Bars have A LOT of sugar in them. These Think Thins have 0 sugar so maybe this is better.

It includes sale? Oh you shouldn't have told me that!

Remember the chevron salad spoons? My nieces saw them and asked if they were tongue depressors for giraffes.

TOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :rotfl:

 

[ChicagoBlonde]

It can. I still have that Peony one from a Glossybox and because I use it in a warmer it still looks like new despite the fact I switch it out with all my other wax tarts (from Fortune Cookie Soap and Yankee Candle).

Is the throw the same as when the candle is lit? I have one B&BW candle left from a discontinued scent so if I can get more use out of it I'm game.

My thoughts on this box::

First off -- I was on VACAY last week so I was able to stay remarkably spoiler-free /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  

This is the first month I've been spoiler free!!!!   

Anyway::  Here's what come this morning:

Kendra Scott Elle Earrings in Slate:::   Mine have a silver frame (THANK GOD!).  They're larger than what I'd personally choose... but I like them and I think they'll blend well with a lot of my outfits -- and my hair is short now - so I can pull off the larger earrings - SCORE!

Paddywax Candle -- it smells really waxy... but I'll reserve judgement until I get the chance to burn it.   I love all things ocean scented so I think it'll be a hit with me 

Goodbyn Purple Meal and Dipper set -- I LOVE ALL THINGS LUNCH BOXY!!!!   However... this looks like something I may pass along to my niece.   We'll see.   

Cookie Mix -- I mean... COOKIES!!!   What's not to like?

Lollia Shower Gel -- Smells good!   Sounds like it'll be hydrating.   I think I'll love this. 

Bite lip gloss -- I'm really kind of over the neon pink glosses these boxes think are universally flattering.   No thanks. 

Protein Bar -- I haven't tried this flavor because I'm wary of chocolate flavors.... but I'll gladly try /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />


All in all -- this box is a hit for me.  Me likey.

I'm wearing my earrings today (I got them with silver metal) and loving them! Instagram shot is here.

I tried the ThinkThin bar this morning and it was kind of blah to me. Then again, I'm seven months pregnant, so my taste buds may be a little out of whack. Haven't tried anything else yet, but I'm very happy with the box overall, now that I have it in my hands.

ETA: I'm also stalking the Kendra Scott website, trying to figure out what to buy. I'm loving this pendant, but I'm not sure about the thicker chain...

Give the gloss a shot. It does not pay off neon at all. I wish it did... :-/

I'm wearing the earrings today too. Wearing a blue shirt so I figured they were perfect!

I got my box today and got the earrings in silver. Yay!! I had marked that I have pierced ears and my preferences were necklaces and silver but I'm SO happy I got the earrings instead!

That was my preference too and I've been wondering what I will get. Two more days...

The candle should smell the same on a candle warmer as it is when regularly lit. If anything, it'll smell and travel more in the air because more of it is melted at once on a warmer vs. lit.   It melts the same, just using a warmer instead of the flame/wick.  My mom always used a warmer when I was growing up, it is a lot safer (no flame/fire).  They come in handy when you get that dud candle that doesn't want to stay lit or when you're down to the bottom of the jar etc.
