Ugh I'm so impatient! My box that initiated on the 4th finally got picked up on the 10th and was still in CA as of the last update which was yesterday. No Friday update even. Once it got picked up the ETA said 9/19 but now that's moved to 9/22. I feel like it will practically be October before my box reaches IL. And it's perfect scarf weather!

 
Okay, alright... I tried the "brownie" from the box.  

1. It is not a brownie.  They should call it something else.

2.  It isn't half bad.  I'll admit.  It looks like smashed poop, but it doesn't taste too bad. 

3. It is almost too sickeningly sweet for me...not in a candy way, but just a weird sugar juice kind of way...almost.  I couldn't eat a whole one in one sitting for sure.  I'm thinking it is the vanilla in it.  

My husband didn't really care for it though, but I made him try it anyhow.  

 
it's like mid-50s here! and i turned on the heat in the apartment for 15 minutes today! i want my scarf! haha
I can't wait for the moment when I need to turn the heat on! It's supposed to be 85* tomorrow :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. I'm just glad I live in a state with 4 seasons. I know it's nice for some to live in a place that's sunny year round, but it's gotta be frustrating to only get weather appropriate items in these boxes 6 out of the 12 months.

 
I pretty much always have a bag with me so that's not to bad. But I hate buying down here because of all the tax. Well and having to lug it home on the train.

Mine is taking forever too! It also says Wednesday. Is FedEx testing our head phones? Mine actually made its stop in chiacgo today so it should be in Wisconsin by now and back in IL tomorrow.
Chicago Chicas!!!!I have the reverse commute, living in the city and working in the suburbs. 2 years ago I stopped buying those glossy gift bags and now use these ikea folding totes that are less than a dollar. I don't have to be concerned with these bags that may not be recycled or recyclable, and the ikea bags are an extra gift. They fold up tiny, come in 4 colors, and are the perfect size for browsing farmers markets. Now my family and friends expect to get these bags from me and are happy when they see me coming with one of these bags because it means they're getting a present!

 
I'll second this sentiment!  We're getting a heat wave over here in SoCal this weekend, supposed to be 100 or higher in most cities.  Of course this happens the weekend I have to be at a hot park and then at Disneyland, and then at my mother in law's already sweat shop-hot apartment with no a/c!  If I'm not around for the next box's thread, it is because I've literally melted! :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
That is so hot! I can't imagine being somewhere without a/c. Take care and drink lots of water.

Fedex gave mine to my local post office so let's hope Monday!! It's been so cold the last two days I'm ready for this scarf. Fall's finally setting in. I think I may turn on my heat soon. And make chili. I'm at Riot Fest this whole weekend and it was SO COLD LAST NIGHT. I was standing there watching Slayer ankle deep in mud and trying to cheer and just shaking like a leaf.

I love all of us Chicagoans! I did the reverse commute last quarter - school in Evanston, lived in the city. Rough.. I miss downtown. We should get a meetup together!

 
My box arrived today. It's not my favorite box of all time, but I like it more than the LE Fall Style box that I received earlier this week.

-The scarf is very pretty and I like the size. I actually might save and give it as a Christmas gift to my mom, because she lovvveeesss scarves and I think it is just her style.

-I love Oribe products, but haven't tried this spray. I'm sure it will come in handy!

-I'm a stationary geek, so I love and will use the notecards.

-The chocolates are an awesome extra--great size for a little treat!

-The pencils are fine--I'm not much of a pencil person but they are pretty. I might donate to a local group that provides school supplies for kids so that they go to good use rather than sitting on my desk.

-I received royal blue headphones. I think they're very pretty! I typically use a pair of wireless headphones (I'm a master of getting myself tangled in cords) so I will either save these for times when I want to travel light or give them as a gift.

-I haven't tried the brownie yet, but am looking forward to it as I've been experimenting with a vegan diet.

And my favorite item....

The Nike gift card! The packaging was adorable. I have actually been searching for a new sports bra, so I logged on to Nike and put that measuring tape to good use! I ended up ordering a bra. With the coupon, it only cost me $20. With free two-day shipping, that is definitely a win for me!

Next month marks my last month of a year-long subscription. I've already told my boyfriend that I will gladly welcome another year subscription as an anniversary gift!

 
Received my box today! Earlier than the expected delivery date. I really love the scarf!! It's so soft and came at a perfect time since it has already started getting cold here

 
My box arrived today! 

Brownie- I don't think it is too bad, but I eat a lot of health food things, so my taste is altered. Might use the coupon code.

Scarf- I am not a scarf person, I might save it and give it to my sister for christmas. 

Notecards- I will use to send to my friend in Cali. 

Pencils- Adorable, I use pencil for things at work so it will be nice. 

Nike- Just bought a skirt/skort for Paddleboarding. Free two day shipping and it was on clearance. 15bucks overall. I am happy after losing over 50lbs since Feb, nothing fits. 

Hairspray- Not sure how I feel

Chocolate- always good

Headphones- needed! Edit: after opening them, they seem rather cheap. I will use them, but  I think I like my $7 ones from TJ Maxx better. 

Looking forward to more, although I didn't get my towel.

I just got my box!

First impression:

Ghirardelli chocolate - Already ate a couple and they are yummy! I'm really pleased with the size of the bag too.

Tilo scarf - So lovely and perfect for fall!

Nicole Miller earbuds - Like the color and I could always use backup headphones, though I'm not expecting amazing quality.

Garance Dore cards - I love stationery and these are very nice. Not sure what I'll use them for.

Letter C pencils - Cute! Wish they were pens, but still, useful.

Urban Remedy Brownie - It does not look appetizing at all. I had a bite and it tastes nothing like a brownie, but it's okay. I definitely won't be using the $10 off coupon.

Oribe hairspray - Love this brand and it's a good size too.

Nike gift card - The packaging is really impressive! Liked that it came with a tape measure. I'll use this on their sale section.

Overall, I'm really happy with my first PopSugar box!

meh.

Got my box

love the scarf - it is NOT worth 125.00

will eat chocolate & brownie

will use oribe hairspray

everything else will be swapped as I have no use for these types of pencils, notecards (I really do not care for the designs) and the earbuds - not good for someone like me who is deaf in one ear.

the nike card - I guess I can get a t-shirt or something.   20.00 doesn't go that far in that store.

thankfully, I only paid 30.00 for this box.

 
It says my box was delivered! I love getting home from work and opening a present! My beauty box 5 is waiting for me too. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> the only thing I'm excited about is the scarf. I wish the headphones were like the ones people got from fab fit fun. Ever since I saw people unbox them I've wanted headphones with the extra socket to plug in another set of headphones. It would be great for travel, I've got a long plane ride next week and both of us watching a movie on the laptop together would be fun. I never count on them playing a movie anymore.

 
Has anyone tried the urban remedy juice cleanse? 
 I have done two from them. I did Level 2, Purify, both times. Level 1, Signature, probably tastes better but I liked the herbal support in the Purify, plus I've cleansed before and know what I'm getting into. If I was going to do a cleanse again, I'd do one of their Wellness Kits. I think they are ridiculously expensive but the products are quality. I actually copied the "Beauty Kit" as best I could over a long weekend and felt great for much cheaper. I purchased fresh green juices and some turmeric & ginger shots from a juice spot and made salads and trail mix at home.

Those FFF ear buds were terrible quality. I got them and one side stopped working after a week. You didn't miss out on anything. Though I do agree that the idea was cool. You can buy a little splitter thing for about $3 that allows you to plug in a second pair of headphones into one device.
