Popsugar Must Have March 2014 *SPOILERS*

[rachelnyc]

Also, i am dying to order more truffle popcorn. but it is expensive with shipping. does anyone know if whole foods or trader joes would carry something like it? 

YAS! @ popcorn. That stuff was so good but the shipping is ridic. I've filled a cart numerous times on their site only to cancel once I saw the shipping. Ugh.

It looks like they have it at a bunch of the Whole Foods in the tri-state area (in addition to a bunch of independent shops in the area), but it's not listed on their site as being available outside of that range as yet (looks like the company is based in Brooklyn). Unfortunately for my diet, I live in New York so now that I know it's freely available here I'm sure I'm going to be picking it up... Maybe if you call your local Whole Foods to request it, and ask friends to call in as well, there's a chance they'll start carrying it near you? Too bad there wasn't a free shipping or discount code in that box--based on how popular it seemed to be, I bet a lot of people would have purchased it without the crazy shipping costs.

UGH-- I wish I didn't know they were in my neighborhood! I didn't get this box, but I've been dying to try them! 

Well, whenever you ladies visit NYC, just remember to bring an extra suitcase for Pipcorn.

I hate to be a complainer but I wore my scarf all weekend and it started to come unraveled on one side and shed strings. I know it has an unfinished edge to it mine kept pulling and strings keep unraveling from it, annoying

I'm having the same problem with my Gorjana scarf! I don't have a sewing machine to fix it. Maybe contact PS?

Maybe that means your wish is about to come true? Or no, that was something else... anyone else find it odd that we're getting items from brands called broke-down and dog-eared? 

There's a product called 'fray check' that would stop the fraying, but it would also make the edge stiff. If it's just one little part though (and not the whole edge) you might try a small dot of it. Or write popsugar CS, they seem to be good about replacing items that have issues.

Fyi, Dogeared is having a sale on Hautelook.

Ha, yeah I don't have a sewing machine either.  My mom does, maybe she'll have a solution.  I dunno that it's worth contacting PS over, I think it's just the way the scarf is, ya know?  I like the unfinished look, but it feels like my cheapy forever 21 scarf that does the same thing.

LOL!  Hmmm I'll look into the fray check.  The scarf isn't damaged, I've just cut the threads that have come off, but it seems to add to the problem, not make it better.  I don't know that it's worth contacting PS, I don't need a replacement, I'll just keep an eye on it and see if it gets any worse.

ooh turning the necklace into a bracelet is a great idea, I think I will steal it! :icon_chee Can't wait to get it and eat the snacks LOL

I love this idea too! Any suggestions on where to find a bracelet it will fit on? I love all these scarfs but I really need to figure out how to wear them. ,anyone have any web site recommendations?

 

[lauradiniwilk]

 
Now all I'm wondering is, what are the odds that April will be another good month? LOL
I was actually ANGRY after receiving last April's box, so I'm guessing slim to none  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I do like the Kai better than expected though so in retrospect I didn't hate the box as much as I thought, but at the time I was not happy.

I sure do hope you personally enjoy your box when you get it!! I know you will! That little elephant is such a cutie to look at and what better place to hook my treasured wedding rings each night!!! She will take good care of them every night for me. I turned the necklace into a bracelet and will wear for however long!!! Enjoy!!!
OHHH this gave me an idea!  The only time I ever take my wedding rings off is doing dishes - this would be SO CUTE in my kitchen!!  I might have to order another one for my nightstand though, because, you know, shiny.

 

[greer]

Just used the code for Dogeared and it worked on a sale item and free shipping!

Yeah this is why I would never pay $$$ for this type of scarf... I have lots of them that are made of this fabric from different brands and they are so pretty but so fragile. I have snagged them a million times, they get holes, come unraveled etc. That's why I get them for cheap usually.

Mine hasn't shipped either! I'm a continuous subscriber, but I had to update my billing information (accidentally maxed the CC on file out.. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> oops) and it was processed on 3/3, so I guess I got thrown in the late-bunch with "new" subscribers. The subscription tracking by reference deal doesn't even work yet, and I've been processing since last Thursday!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  

 

[Monica Sue]

got my box finally!!! Anyone else have a problem with the exercise ball being all weird and deformed?  

 

[MoiSurtout]

My box arrived; I'm happy with it. I have this stool in my bathroom, and now it will have company:



Thanks to those who answered my question earlier about the Snapea Crisps; I really like them. I hadn't noticed they were by Calbee; they remind me a little of the potato sticks I used to eat a lot in Japan. The fig bar was good too. There's not a bit of food in the house right now, so it's great timing.

The only thing I didn't love was the necklace; I prefer silver and I didn't like the length on me. Everything else was great though. Now I'm ready for the Resort box!

 

[ChristinaM3535]

Yay! Went grocery shopping and had my pretty pink and white box waiting for me when I got home.

Scarf - LOVE THIS SCARF. It's so soft, and pretty and I love the length. Perfect for me!

Ring Holder - Adorable. I don't wear rings though! I will probably gift this.

Necklace - I have a necklace I wear daily, so I wrapped it around my wrist (after I made my wish, of course) and it's now a bracelet. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Exercise Ball - Have not blown it up yet, but my 15 month old puppy has his eye on it already. lol

Serum - My mom tried it and the smell is wonderful. I love the serum from last month, so I am excited to try this one! 

Snappea Crisps and Fig Bar - TBD! I may try them tonight while watching tv! 

All in all, I adore this box! YAY PSMH!! 

 

[raindrop3287]

Is anyone else's box missing the straw to blow up the exercise ball?  I'm emailing them about it, but wondering if I'm the only one missing it...

 

[Kittylasmu]

Yay! I resubbed at the beginning of the month and it's shipping out of Gilroy today, whee! There is hope for us resubbers /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[Laurenv78]

 I got mine today - no issues and I think I love everything...my son has claimed the small ball as his because I have a big one.  He's a little upset it's pink lol
