POPSUGAR Must Have July 2013

[cobainrls]

Kinda bummed. Just got my box and the tea was really the only thing I was looking forward too. I got the ginger peach but really wanted the mango. So i guess I will try the trade thing with the sunscreen and tea. I guess i will try the necklace out since I have seen pictures with the way some people have styled it. Just bummed. Can someone tell me how to do the trade thing?

I just made iced tea using the mango tea bags. It's really good. It tastes like the mango black tea from Quick Trip (QT).

Hi, so I've been a lurker here at MUT for about 3 weeks, and signed up for the Popsugar subscription after seeing the June box.

  I love reading everyone's comments.  Even thought I signed up after the July box came out - and I got wait listed for the August box, yep, I'll be getting it too. 

So here is an interesting question that so far - i don't think anyone here has discussed yet, or maybe it's just me a newbie that noticed.

They advertised a "gift" for the August box on their blog, before they even boasted about their July box.

Did they too expect mixed or lot of mixed reviews and skipped the unveiling of the July box on their blog?  Maybe they just wait till mid month?  I'm wondering on the strategy to advertise the spoiler on the August box.  I keep getting the impression from many of the readings - their August box isn't quite a anniversary box either.  I would REALLY really love that to be an anniversary box.  I'm excited to have anything, something, and as far as me lurking - I figured I wouldn't be getting a July box, so when I seen the spoilers:

I went to Bauble bar - cool website, got an AMAZING necklace (still waiting for it to arrive though) as kind of my own inspiration from what they are saying is in trend.  Bauble bar is way cool so far.

I apologize in advance for being such a dork, but is it possible to resubscribe with a discount code, or do I have to cancel, then resubscribe to get a discount? I've seen the discount codes that require a new subscription. Do I have to delete my cookies?

Would be happy to trade my mango tea for your ginger peach. I actually have some mango tea already so I'd welcome a different tea. PM me if interested!

On a totally unrelated note...

I tried the workout DVD from the June box.  Talk about comical.  I was also wondering why the woman was wearing a puffy coat while exercising.

Perhaps I'm the only one who felt totally foolish almost breaking my kitchen chair while attempting this video.   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Ok, you guys forced me to go out and buy those darn cookie chips. And I really want that ice cube tray, too!

Someone asked about the closure on the bracelet before, so I took another pic after finishing it today. I used pliers to attach the clasp from the necklace, and sewed the ribbon to the chain. 



Someone else mentioned using the chain as a headband, so I tried that too. I left it plain and just sewed a piece of black elastic end-to-end, really simple:



Wisconsin, I'm new to PopSugar but I don't think they normally release spoilers at all. The one for August is the only spoiler I've seen.

Those look great! You're so creative and crafty.

Oh my gosh, that is AWESOME!  How craft are you, seriously!  I wouldn't even know where to start with this. Great job!!

So I decided to sub after seeing the awesomeness that was the June box. I signed up too late for July and was waitlisted. Then I got some good news.... I would be getting the July box. Thrilled to see that I just got a shipping notice! Not a huge fan of rose gold but I still can't wait to see the Mr. T chain in person. You ladies are doing some adorable things with yours. (If only I was that creative).

I canceled twice already, then re-subbed with a code for 3 months... Just did it with the refer5 code for $90/3 months sub... No self control!

 

[IffB]

I am reviewing the Mango Iced tea, with a jumbo ice cube and a splash of passion fruit vodka..... Yummy, y'all! I will call it Southern Hemisphere Delight.

 

[flynt]

So the negative of being taken off the waitlist and getting an earlier box is that my box is shipping from California instead of New York.  Booooo, I'm impatient and want my box now.

 

[jessrose18]

i did month to month and used the refer5 code...so i can cancel and use the refer5 again under my same name for the 3 month?  thanks for any advice..i was also waitlisted for july and its coming through i like the contents excited to see it!

Welcome to MUT!

Popsugar doesn't release the current months box blog post until most subscribers have already received it sometime mid to end of month usually their post goes up.

The August "Spoiler" was the first spoiler they have ever released for a Must Have box as far as I know. They have released spoilers for special edition boxes that cost more (usually around $100) but not for the $35 a month sub. 

They are officially calling the August box their "Anniversary" box

Does anyone know where i can purchase the cookie chips at a lower price? Those cookies left me feeling like the cookie monster without feeling guilty.
