PopSugar Must Have September 2014 *May Contain Spoilers*

I don't mind vegan desserts .. I really enjoy vegan tofu chocolate cream pie .. so good .

Or the donuts at Whole Foods ..

And I absolutely LOVE Coco-Roons .. I was close to doing a wild dance of joy when I found the brownie version at Costco. They are vegan, raw, gluten & dairy free and low glycemic .. yet they are really totally delicious (all flavors that I've tried, but the brownie is so wonderful moist and chocolatey and just really yummy). The only reason I can see for someone not to like them would be if you don't like coconut ...

So nothing wrong with being vegan or raw, but that brownie just doesn't taste right.

With the website down, does that mean we can't order anything? I tried to get into my account and it doesn't seem to respond.

This may be a weird question. But, is there something with a tape measure in the box? It looked like there was a tape measure in one of the pictures.

I'm wondering about this too, it seems to be pictured with the nike gift card? Maybe its part of the presentation? Like a lanyard?? I don't understand what it is either. The neon green-yellow thingy. Lol.

Just got mine today...

I definitely feel "eh" about the box. I love chocolate, so of course I'll eat the Ghiradelli up, and I really needed some new headphones, but the rest I don't really care about. Oh, I will definitely use the Nike gift card since I wanted some new shoes, but I'll still have to spend at least $80. 

I don't think the scarf is nearly as pretty as people on here think, but that's just my opinion. It won't get worn at all, so I'll have to see if someone else wants it. The pencils will sit unused on my desk, as will the cards. I'll probably give the brownie to my friend who is vegan. I actually like a lot of vegan stuff, but after all the negative things about the taste of these brownies, I think I'll steer clear of them!!

Even though I complain about it, I mean, I live in CA, where our tax is too high. For a short period of time our tax was 10.25% in my city. People were outraged and it got lowered back to 9.75% but people still look at me funny when I tell them that. It's expensive! LOL. I'm pretty much immune to paying tax on online sites. It sucks but everybody's in a business.

I live in cook county in Illinois and work in Chicago. You don't have to tell me about ridiculous taxes. And my suburb wants to pass home rule which sounds great until you know it also gives them the right to add another tax to everything you buy in that town.

It's a tape measure to measure for your correct sport bra size.

There is a tape measure with the Nike giftcard.

Got mine today...did not expect the scarf to be so big. Not sure I can pull it off. Not a fan of the cards. Chocolate is good and the pencils will get used as will the hairspray.

okay, so where a in costco are these that you speak of (frezer, bread department)??? I need to find them. I'm gluten free

 

[sylarana]

In my area, only one of two Costcos that I go to has them and not always. Usually, they are somewhere around the snack items ... like cereal bars, baked stuff, crackers etc.

I got my box today and I am happy with it. I love the scarf but I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I have NEVER worn one. I think this scarf is gorgeous though and want to give it a go this fall. Does anybody have any tips or advice for me on how to wear it? Namely, how to knot it, fold it, drape it, or whatever? Thanks all for any help. I'm a fashion novice. Jeans and t shirts are about all I wear.

 

[roohound]

Wida, I am right there with you. I've lost over 80 pounds and am completely into getting my girly girl on right now. Someone on the PS special edition board posted this and I think it's great:

Also, there are a number of tips on scarf wearing on Pinterest.

Ugh, today has been such a LONG and trying day... 1 year olds who refuse to sleep and wake up at 6:45am are a complete pill!  He's lucky he's cute, but this phase sucks!  Combined with diaper changing refusals complete with exorcist contortion moves...oh, and did I mention he's teething molars too?  I love my job, I'm a great nanny, but sheesh.. give a girl a break, lol.  

Good news is my box showed up today after all!!!  They just didn't update shipping until late this afternoon when it was delivered.  I opened up everything, love everything (well, I haven't tried the brownie yet).  Wearing the scarf while sitting on the couch destressing (my scarf is dark gray and deep purple ombre)..eating a Ghirardelli square (OMG tastes like Heaven!)  and watching "Kitten Party" on Netflix.  Don't judge, lol, its live action version of pics of cute kitten online.  They're so cute.

Depending on shipping costs, I might end up using the "gift card" for the urban remedy place.  It isn't really a gift card if you're required to spend a certain amount..it is a discount coupon.  Why do they insist they're gift cards? Lol.  Anyways, the snacks don't interest me, but they're supposed to have cold pressed juice, which I do like.  

This box is hands down better than the Fall LE box for me.  I should have just bought 2 of these instead of the LE box!

If you like jeans and t-shirts, I think the scarf would go well with a white t- shirt and most jean colors (black or blue). Just wrap the scarf around you neck loosely twice. It's not necessary to tie in a fancy way, but here's a video by Nordstrom on different ways to wear scarves: http://shop.nordstrom.com/c/scarf-video

 

[roohound]

Yeah, the discount coupon disguised as a gift card irks me - but if they just toss it in and don't count it as part of the value it doesn't miff me as much.

Sorry you had a trying day but it sure sounds like your box helped make it better. Love the color combo of your scarf!

Here is a really good video to watch on to tie a scarf that size.

Thank you MissTippa,yjk98,and roohound (congrats on your weight loss!)! I'm going to try and get with the times and break out of my non fashionable rut. I'm really excited for to wear this scarf.

I'm pleasantly surprised with this box!

I'm not a fan of the scarf but I think it will be a lovely gift for my boss whom I'm struggle to find an appropriate gift for each holiday. It's just not colors that suit my warmer tones.

The pencils and cards are adorable. I plan to sharpen the pencils and display them on my desk. I use cards a lot as pick me ups and general thank yous. Love!

Ear buds are always welcome. The smallest size seems to fit me nicely!

I've been wanting to try Oribe hair products so this will be nice. I want that texture spray!

The brownie I know I like as I've done cleanses from Urban Remedy before. They are a great company and put a lot of herbal support into their juices if you are interested in that type of thing. Obviously it's not a toll house brownie but a healthy treat. I live near enough to get local delivery or I can pick up at their retail locations. I'll be able to use my gift card!

I'm stoked on the Nike gift card as I'm desperately in need of gear. As a personal trainer I need to update my wardrobe and it's gets so expensive. I just wish I could go to Nike Town and use it.

I'm not a big fan of milk chocolate but my husband is! So that is a nice win for him.

I like that this box feels different and a change of pace for some reason. All the products seem high end. I like it!

I love Nike as well and am planning on getting a new pair of shoes! IDK if you have tried Fabletics clothing, but the quality is really good and just as nice as Nike gear. At least check it out if you haven't.
