PopSugar Must Have September 2014 *May Contain Spoilers*

[sldb]

I calculated the points for the brownie. Eating the whole brownie would be 14 (!!!) Points. After the reviews on here, no way am I eating that brownie. If I was going to blow that many points on something, I'd eat a piece of pumpkin pie or something.

 

[MoiSurtout]

So if you eat the whole thing, it's 510 calories and 27g fat? That's on par with two scoops of Haagen-Dazs.

This was my first box, and I'm really pleased with it!

I wore the scarf to work yesterday, and got a ton of compliments. The cards & pencils will go to my sister for Christmas, I quite like them but I know she'll like them even more, and I have plenty of cards with designs I prefer. I never say no to an extra pair of headphones, and the blue color is nice since cobalt is an "in" color this season, but doesn't really suit my coloring. I gave the "brownie" and the chocolates to my boyfriend, and I haven't decided what to get from Nike yet, but it could be a nice pair of workout leggings... or socks as someone else suggested. Never enough socks. I've always wanted to try Oribe, and the small hairspray is great to toss in my purse. 

Overall a hit! Can't wait for next month now...

Holy crap the calories on that brownie! 

 

[Traci Ann]

Glad I didn't know before diving in! On the other hand, the only somewhat bad thing in there was sugar so I don't feel bad about it. I ordered another. I wish there were more codes, I want to try a cleanse.

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

I was surprised at the calorie content.

Thanks! I assumed it was something like that! Glad I didn't try it. It's not only the calories that are bad, the fat and sodium are pretty horrible too.

Thank you everyone who chimed in to point me in the direction of sports bras. I will definitely look into natori and freya. I plan to start a more dedicated exercise routine this winter and a great bra is essential. I'm going to go all out and have a workout wardrobe instead of old Tshirts lol it will make it more fun. And really the point of it is to look and feel healthy and beautiful so I may as well. I already have a fantastic gym bag. If anyone is looking for a great bag I got the everything fits bag from gaiam. It goes on sale every year around Christmas for 39.95 and free shipping. It has a place for everything and a separate section for your sneakers.

I like how everything in this box was sort of paired. The scarf with the spray. Notecards with pencils. Headphones with work out gear and 2 chocolates.

 

[Traci Ann]

Shayleemeadows, I lost over 50lbs in the last 6months, I know how important the right support and right gear can be. I still feel like I am in the "fat" category, but who knows. I am hoping these boxes help me fit the new me and my current schedule. Goodluck! You can do it!

Quick question for everyone who used the extra product code. Did it come in your box or ship separately? I used the towel code and sadly there wasn't a towel /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[Traci Ann]

I used the towel code too! I didn't get a towel so posted on their fb and they said to email them. I did that, now waiting to hear back. Try emailing!

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.

Wait.. who do you wear for normal bras? All I do is struggle, and I'm in your size range.

I wear Natori, Freya & Chantelle exclusively. They are really beautiful, comfortable & supportive. They are spendy, but you can try different styles in the store (I recommend Nordstrom - ask for the lingerie manager or someone that has worked in lingerie for several years to fit you) and once you know the styles & sizes that work they aren't too hard to find online at a discount. You can even find new ones with tags on eBay.

I can't wait to get my Sept box! The more I see photos and read reviews, the more excited I get. I'm so glad I got two with the codes. Now I'm searching for desk accessories to display my new pencils & notecards.

Just a heads up... anybody who wants to buy stuff from Urban Remedy's website, if you sign up your email with them, they send you a 15$ off your order code.  I'm kind of surprised they're giving better discounts at their website for email sign up than they are in the boxes with their card.  They aren't stackable codes though, but an extra 5$ is an extra 5$. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Awesome!! Thank you! I'll definitely check those out!

In Popsugar news, this box couldn't move slower!! Please bring it to me, mailman!

can't wait for popsugar's site to open up so I cancel.

I have a porcelain cast of a tin can...it's so beautiful and the black pencils are going to look GREAT in it.  Now if my box would EVER arrive, I could snap a photo.  Here's a pic of the can from the etsy site:

I never got that, even after my order. Hmmm

Thanks, I got the offer when I signed up for email this morning too. Was shipping free with the $15 off offer?

 

[Traci Ann]

Mine is shipping today, I think most things there ship free so you won't need a code, at least that is what I saw when I ordered. 

As far as shipping, it looks like it ships overnight priority in an eco cooler with icepacks. They guarantee it fresh and cool for 24hrs from ship time. I hope it is okay when I get it. Fedex comes to my house late and no one is home during the day tomorrow. 

 

[Shayleemeadows]

Grrrrr. Wore scarf a total of 2 hours this morning and when I took it off it lightly snagged on my sunglasses. Already has a hole!!!! If I don't sew it quickly it will pull and unravel into a bigger hole. No amount of careful sewing is going to actually fix the way it looks since the scarf is so thin and delicate. I will have to hide it when I wear it. Warning! Be very very careful with it!

Side note: lol I went to walmart today and I was browsing the 3$ clearance rack and found a bunch of work out clothes, a walmart staffer came up to me and said they were changing all the clearance clothes to $1 so to come back to her to change the price when I was done. She didn't want a panic so she was quietly telling people who were already getting stuff lol. So I just got a ton of new exercise clothes for a dollar each after saying just last night that I wanted a new exercise wardrobe. This is a great start haha.
