Popsugar Must Have March 2014 *SPOILERS*

[stephstrong]

Hahahaha I'm glad I'm not the only one, I should have known I can count on you guys!!! Haven't gotten my box yet but I think I will be way more satisfied than I was last month. I wish I knew someone who was having a birthday soon I think this box would have made a great gift (esp if snagged with the $10 off!). I'm glad everyone is much more satisfied with this month's box. When there is a month that most seem to be unhappy with someone always chimes in and says "well you can't please everyone," and I always find that a silly thing to say because if the box is thoughtful, well-curated and has at least some newly released items you can at least come close to pleasing everyone !! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I like the exercise ball, snacks, and scarf. I think I am going to Ebay the ring holder, necklace, and serum as a set. I paid $30 and I definitely got $30. It's a good mix of items for personal use, gifts, and trades,

Ok, I finally caved.  I've stalked the popsugar threads since the beginning but this is my first time buying! So excited to see the spoilers and find that the March box was still available!!!!!  I know it ruins the surprise, but now I KNOW I'm excited for everything when it comes. And I had basically gotten myself down to 2 subs....sigh, it's a never ending battle...

I'm very happy with this box. They've redeemed themselves for now. And it appears as if they've made the majority of this months subscribers happy. I didn't like anything last month but I like everything this month! Mostly I'm happy there isn't a single item from gorjana lol.

I didn't get this box but was lurking and i'm very happy to see them step it up this month, it's well curated box my only possible complaint would be that it's slightly odd for them to send jewelry storage and serum two months in a row. Not quite an A+ but definitely an A this month!

Not quite redeemed in my eyes (one solid month after...3 not so good), but if they keep up this quality and curation I'd sign back up!

This might be an odd question, but what do the pea snaps taste like exactly? I've never cared for peas, they usually taste bitter to me. I'll eat them if they happen to be in something, but never eat them on their own. I'm wondering if I should give these a try or pass them on to someone else.

I'm so happy with this box! Even the items I'm not wild about at least feel like curated items instead of tossed in overstock. Super excited for the scarf, the ring holder and maybe the fitness ball--I always like trying out workout stuff for free since if I don't stick with it I don't feel like I wasted money at least The horseshoe necklace looks cute and the serum at least has pretty packaging. If April's box is good they might yet rope me in for another 3 months.

 

[bluegnu]

I was trying to fight the urge to check on here today because I knew that today would be the day when someone posted full spoilers. I wanted to be surprised this month. But I couldn't resist. And now I'm just even more excited! I love those pea things, I get them a lot. They're a strange texture but very addictive.  Yay!

I don't like peas, and I like these pea snaps.  They taste like a crispy veggie chip.  Pretty good, actually.

Yay!!!! I got my box tonight! So happy with it. Here is my brake down based on the price I payed which was about $28. 

BROKEDOWN BLUE IKAT SCARF - $11

JURLIQUE HERBAL RECOVERY SERUM - $7

DOGEARED LUCKY HORSESHOE NECKLACE - $2

BAUBLEBAR ELEPHANT RING TREE - $3

ACTIVEFOREVER FUSION EXERCISE BALL - $2

SNAPS SNAPEA CRISPS - $1 (I usually have coupons for this item and can get them for 0.50 to $1 so that is what I would pay for this)

NATURES BAKERY STRAWBERRY FIG BARS - $1

Verdict: I LOVE THIS BOX!!!! I don't need ANYTHING obviously but I love and will keep it all! 

The scarf if gorgeous but I don't think it should cost $72. I pay up to $15 for viscose scarves and find them at TJ Maxx or online sales etc so this one is a bargain at this price plus the print is gorgeous and on trend.

The Jurlique I am not sure about yet. I don't know if it is more of a moisturizer or a serum but I love skin care so I am excited to try this. It retails at $27 but we all know we get sales and deals on skin care items from many retailers. Even so this is a great value in this box. 

The necklace should not cost $30 but it is absolutely adorable and I am happy to have it. I received a similar horseshoe wish necklace in a Jouer cracker from Birchbox in January and haven't used it but this one seems so much higher quality than the Jouer and hopefully it won't fall apart too soon. 

The Baublebar tree is so cute and I may not even put rings in it. I would look cute in my office or just as decor.

The exercise ball is one of the little balls which is great because I don't have one and I love pilates and similar exercises that use this ball. Usually I go to classes that provide this for you but I may try some stuff at home for when I am feeling antisocial. 

The food items are always welcome and I have tried both of these products and really enjoy them so I welcome them. 

HOPE ALL OF YOU LADIES enjoy this box. It is a great one!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that! As soon as I saw the picture I was like..... !!

 

[RachRDH]

This is the best box I've received since I've only been subscribing since December. I love everything in it!! I saw that popsugar fitness workout and was thinking of getting a small exercise ball so yay for that. The only thing that disappoints me is the necklace not being on a chain. I was so thrilled to see it because I've been wanting a dainty necklace to wear to work but I'm a dental hygienist and my luck it would fall off into my patients mouth!!! So I'll be looking for a chain to put it on.

 

[Classynfun]

To be vague but still be honest, as an executive I cannot wear a necklace on a string. A dainty gold chain, yes! If someone find a great one, let the rest of us know!

I agree!

Where do you work? I'm an exec in a business formal atmosphere in Chicago, and I can absolutely wear this. Think about it- no one will notice the string under the neck of your button downs and suit jackets. I did initially wonder the same thing though.

Ha!  I'm a dental hygienist too!  I never even thought of that lol!

Question, do any of you know how to blow the ball up? It didn't come with instructions, only thr straw, and I'm afraid to pull the stopper out.

I'm pretty sure you just blow into the straw with your mouth. The booklet included in the box says "...you can quickly expand it by inserting the accompanying straw and blowing."

 

[nectarbean]

Yea the little exercise balls are easy to blow up using your mouth and the straw, same way you'd blow up a beach ball or floating tube.
