Is the hat soft? I'm so excited. There are so many things I needed in this one. And if it wasn't needed it was still something I had wanted to try. I hope it comes soon. My head is cold.

I posted earlier to say I wouldn't use the hat because it doesn't get cold here. I was so wrong! It's unexpectedly freezing, breaking an 1886 temperature record. And I don't even own a winter hat, let alone anything warmer than a raincoat. This box needs to come fast!
At least I have last year's gloves, and plenty of scarves.

Keepcup is a terrible name, every time I hear it I think it's like a Diva cup and get totally grossed out. And now you will too. (Sorry)
I seriously love this box more and more. I was kind of on the fence about it for awhile but now that I'm looking at it more, things get better and better for me.
I'm kind of an old lady when it comes to fashion and what's popular, but luckily quite a few of my employees are high school students, and we were JUST talking about how pom-pom hats are randomly popular in fashion again. I asked them if it was a thing because they were all wearing them recently LOL
The cup is perfection for me because I am always drinking coffee. I only wish it was twice as big haha
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I also have purchased the granola multiple times but always in the dark chocolate flavor. I don't know if there is a variation but I hope I get the peanut butter as I've never tried it!
The tattoos are kind of...young, but they seem fun and they'd be cool for a night out. And the yoga hand towel is a bit specific, especially for people that don't do yoga, but I know I can find a use for it, even if it's just throwing it in my gym bag or gifting it.
I would have liked to see a beauty item instead of 2 skincare products, but it's not a huge issue. I loooove under eye patches so these will be used up quickly. I like to wash my face when I first wake up with a good cleansing cloth, and then slap on a couple under-eye patches for an hour or so while I'm drinking my morning coffee to lessen the puffy bags and dark circles under my eyes.
The First Aid Beauty thing is probably the only thing I'm not going to use, although once I get it I might feel differently.

Yes, there is a code for keepcup, it's in box. The code is POPSUGAR it's either 15% or 20% off. I can't remember.

sometimes the bank will let a specific charge go through when that happens. I had to list any charges that might be coming in that day when it happened to me.
I think the hat can be considered soft, but YMMV.

let's not get to crazy. I got an email last night with the infamous billing error message. My credit card hasn't changed in 2 years and popsugar has been charging it just fine for over a year. It's still listed on the site but I reentered it and sent them an email. I did get a response in about 2 hours saying she billed me by hand and I'm set for January and apologized for the problem. They're getting close but not quite all the way back.

I know, right?
February has had some notoriously weirdly curated boxes that left people crying and screaming at each other on this page over thongs and body wash. I can only imagine what they've cooked up this year for Valentine's Day!
The body wash debacle of 2014 was hilarious.
Considering they usually put a sponsored, drugstore-like item in most boxes: IE: the granola this month.
I don't understand what made some people so ridiculously upset in regards to that.
The thong...fine I can understand it. I wasn't subscribed back then, but since underwear is so size specific, it probably wasn't the best choice. A better choice would have been a gift card/code for the company so people could choose their own.
Oh man...
This is the 3rd month that there's been something missing from my box. Happy I got it so early in the month, but ughhh missing products.
The First Aid Beauty product isn't in my box.
It sucks because I feel so awkward e-mailing them EVERY month about something randomly missing from my box. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> granted it was the one product I was unsure on, but since I paid for it I kind of want it lol
Guess I'm off to message them.

people were just weird. There was nothing wrong with either of those.
EDIT: true. conceptually, the ideas were ok. after they fixed the size thing ppl still complained i meant. that was the bizarre part to me.

I came home to my box today! I just got a Nespresso machine, so cup will be useful and make my lattes pretty, I already love the First Aid Beauty cream, and I needed a yoga towel (bonus - this color matches my carrying strap!). I'll save the eye things for when I'm pms-ing and puffy. I'm sure I can find someone to take the granola off my hands - I hate peanut butter and I'm not sure if my husband will eat it. The beanie is really cute and it is supposed to rain here in Southern California, so maybe I'll get some use out of it this weekend.
Oh and those glitter tattoos - I'll pass those along to someone a lot younger than me! Lol
Although this box isn't overly exciting, I'm happy with it and will put everything to good use.
ETA - sorry about the sideways pictures. I uploaded them from my phone and can't figure out how to turn them.

YEP. So glad I'm not the only one who was thinking that! One of my sisters says the same thing about K-cups (Keurig cups).
I think there is a cup with a similar name, like Keepercup or something reeeeeally close to Keepcup.

I'm so excited for this box honestly. Moisturizers are great for me because my skin practically drinks them, and I've heard good things about first aid beauty. I love love eye masks - any masks really. I can't go a day without coffee. I only paid $26 for this box w the three month subscription, so this alone makes it worth it for me!! I like the towel, may use the tattoos to my bf's chagrin, love granola in my yogurt, and the beanie - if it looks good - is awesome! Right now I'm over using my NY giants beanie

I'm supposed to get my box today. I'm so excited because I really need that hat. Also, that cup sounds wonderful. I went to the website and read up on it a bit. It was made by baristas. I'm a barista and totally agree that it's hard to make a quality bevarage into a metal/stainless steel or plastic cup. It's a bit on the small side though (most people want 16 oz these days.)
