PopSugar Must Have September 2014 *May Contain Spoilers*

[Shayleemeadows]

Northwest22 thank you so much! Glad I said something. Awesome I will go look for that.

Got the box... Not really a great box for me. I will use the scarf, the pencils, eat the chocolates and try out the nike card. I would love a perfect sport bra (so hard to find for busty women) but I'm afraid to look at the prices and will most likely find whatever is closest to $20.

I don't use hair spray and this is my 3rd hairspray in a box this month :*(.

The note cards aren't my style so I'm not opening them.

I have a friend who is gluten free and might give her the brownie but so many said it was awful I would feel bad lol

Has anyone tried the headphones? I'm hesitant to open them cause I currently have 2. If they are really great quality I will give them a try but if they are standard I will probably swap or gift.

I guess the time has finally arrived to join a swap site. There is too much in this box that I have no real use for.

A sketchbook would have been really cool, like someone said before, that would have really rounded out the box to a win for me. This was in the middle, so-so. I guess it was really all about the scarf, I'm glad I like it. I hope they blow us away next month with a really big make up item. I haven't given up yet.

I'm really impressed with this box! The headphones are a beautiful color, the scarf is pretty nice, and the pencils and notecards I could probably use for work.

I was going to save the chocolates for snacking at work also, but I'm devouring the chocolates right now. So good. Chocolate and sea salt is seriously the best thing ever.

They're pretty standard/ok quality imo.

ShalyeeMeadows, if your friend eats gluten free or health foods, then she will like the brownie. I avoid eating regular brownies or cupcakes and have tended to go part raw (I make my own flours and nut butters) to help with migraines and I LOVED it. 

If you are busty, I wouldn't recommend a Nike sports bra, at least not without trying it on. Maybe one of the new Victorias Secret double ones?  I just know a lot of the ladies at my gym who are busty have issues with most sports bras and tend to stick to specific brands (to which I can't remember), but they hate the main brands. 

I guess I was happy because I didn't feel I lost money on this box, I do feel it was centered around the scarf though.

I hate to say this - but those chocolates are actually amazing. Chocolate + salt. Yum.

Still waiting on my box - My Fed Ex tracking shows it won't be delivered until the 18th... [sigh].  I'm not super excited about this box, but I want to see the scarf in person before I decide /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />.

i actually bought a bar of the ghirardelli chocolate at cvs cause i can't wait for the chocolate in my box! it's very tasty! i def want more!

 

[Krystyn Lowe]

Got my box today four days ahead of schedule! I really love the scarf, it's delicate but more expensive scarves are IMO. I like the muted colors. The rest of the box is just ok for me. Everything will get used but nothing super exciting. Bout to dig into those chocolates right now. Gave my daughter the earbuds and I received the Jurlique serum as my extra so that was nice!

Edited for fat fingers on an itty bitty screen!

Thanks mcculsta. I did look at the bras on the nike website and after seeing that they carry my size I checked the reviews and the only people who liked it were smaller chested and said it was best for light workouts like yoga. People were complaining that the website description isn't accurate and that it is not a supportive bra. Sigh. I still haven't found a sports bra that actually works. Lol I use one that is waaaay too small so that it crams them down so much they can't go any where which isn't healthy but it's only for a 1/2 hour run once in a while. I would exercise more if it wasn't such an issue! Just thinking about getting in and out of that thing stresses me. Maybe I should try cycling and give up on running all together. Haha. So anyway, rant over, I got a shirt I instantly liked instead. It's nice they gave a code for free 2 day shipping. I got a $30 shirt that was marked on sale for 24.95 after the codes I paid 4.95 and it will be here Tuesday.

I'm not too excited now that I got the box. My scarf is the brown color rather than the purple and that's pretty disappointing. My headphones are also boring black. I don't really think I will use anything in this box except maybe the notecards and maybe the nike giftcard. August spoiled me with popsugar.... I think I might finally unsub unless there is a good code and spoiler for October.

Felt like I need to chime in on this because it has been an issue for me my entire life. After I sorta out a proper sports bra, I realized I loved exercising & lost 35 pounds. This past year has been so much fun. Stylish clothes & new beauty tips thanks to all of you. I'm a 34 DDD and the Natori Sports bra is super-supportive & comes in great colors. It's expensive, but I stalk the clearance rack at Dillards & buy "last season's" colors. I've never paid more than $20. Hope it helps!

I would love a perfect sport bra (so hard to find for busty women) but I'm afraid to look.

I wear a 34g and Freya sports bras are the best! They are expensive but they work. They have underwire and lock the girls down well enough for me to jump rope. The give me nice enough lines that in a pinch, I can wear them as a good looking ultra supportive bra. I have friends who love the Enell, but I can't get past feeling like I'm in a straight jacket. If you are buxom, avoid Victorias Secret at all costs as they will fit you incorrectly into a larger band/smaller cup size that they say is equal, but isn't as they don't carry large cup sizes.

I got a 2nd box and am going to send to a niece that just started college. It's a great care package if you know anyone who went off to school. the cards and cute pencils for keeping in touch. the headphone. the scarf. the chocolate. 

 

[QuixoticGirly]

I second Natori & Freya for sports bras. I'm a 34DDD+ & I swear by them. Freya also makes amazing swim tops that look pinup hot & you can be confident the girls will not fall out-Haha. Nike has some cute T-shirts on the site & I was also looking at socks & the kids section. You can search entire sections by price so it's easier to stay around the $20. I really wish we could combine the gift cards, but I'm still excited to get mine. The free shipping was a really nice touch.

 

[pooteeweet213]

I loooooved my box this month. I literally haven't taken the scarf off since I got it yesterday. Also glad that the pencils came with a sharpener, because otherwise I wouldn't be able to use them. I might just donate them to my friend who is a teacher though. 

But did anyone notice that the box this month was like half the size of previous months? I wonder if that means to expect smaller items in future boxes?

Just placed an order with Urban Remedy, the shipping is free and you can pick the delivery date. I think this a great way to introduce themselves to people, I had never heard of them. I picked a few random items to try that I thought would work for my 12hr shifts at work so I wouldn't eat crap. Here is good thoughts!

Do they have nutrition facts on their site? I'm scared to try the brownie since I have no idea how many calories are in it.

 

[Traci Ann]

They list ingredients for each, I never looked at the calories. I care more about the ingredients than the calories these days. If it has it on the labels when they arrive I will let you know.

 

[sldb]

There is no calorie or nutrition info on the product. I'm on Weight Watchers, so I looked first thing.

Here is the nutrition info for the brownie: https://www.urbanremedy.com/snack/brownies/almond

I was surprised at the calorie content.
