Their website is still down, and they haven't sent me a shipping email, yet. *pouts*

I don't have tracking info, and nothing when I do backdoor tracking. I ordered later than most, so I assume that is why.

I got my box. I'm not digging the smaller actual box, I hope that doesn't indicate a move towards smaller contents.

Chocolate: surprisingly bland. And I love chocolate of all types. Even my husband didn't like it.

Scarf- very beautiful. Odd texture. It doesn't really seem heavy enough to be a cold weather scarf. Seems like just a fashion scarf.

Pencils and notecards- meh. I do like that they included a sharpener. I don't think the pencils are cute, I just got black pencils. Were there other colors?

Brownie- after reading posts on here I was curious if I would like this. It's good, not great, but good.

Nike-oddly enough this is my favorite item in the box (wha?!). I'm going to buy some super fancy workout socks.

Earbuds- cute color. They feel cheap. I love my Apple ear pods, so I'm won't use these. I showed them to my husband and he liked the blue and asked me to keep them as a back up. Neither of us is very hard on our ear buds, so they don't break often. Maybe we need to exercise more /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Overall. The box lacked a wow factor for me. I thought I'd love that scarf, but once in hand I didn't really know if/how I'd wear it. I usually find atleast one item to be somewhat excited about. I guess this time I'm most excited about going online and ordering some socks.

Oh wait! I just remembered the hairspray. I actually am looking forward to using that. I think it was a great addition to the box because I can't afford that brand. I was also pleased that the beauty item was hair related. So, I change my vote on this box to a definite Like /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got my box yesterday.

Loved the:

Scarf: wearing today,

Brownie: split with the bf,

Hairspray: smells great, I use hair spray often enough and purse/travel size is always a win. My hair is thin and fine, will certainly use this,

Nike gift card: I can't wait to shop around for something fun, anyone know if they're stackable?

Just ok:

Headphones, whaaaa I wanted to love you but I found the sound quality lacking big time. Love the color of them, they'll be a good backup pair.

Chocolates: Have already tried them, like them just fine, however 5 of those tiny chocolates are 210 calories vs 220 in in the brownie.  No one complained about "drug store" chocolate this time?

Meh:

Pencils: I work for a software company, I barely even use pens and paper. Will trade or send them to my niece for Christmas,

Note cards: blah, already working on trading them.

The Nike gift cards are absolutely stackable. I used the two from my duplicate boxes this month in one order.

Per the Urban Remedy website: https://www.urbanremedy.com/snack/brownies/almond. The entire brownie has 510 calories.

I only ate half of it, as I mentioned I split it with my boyfriend.

Is there a code for free shipping from Nike.com? Right now the site says free shipping with $75 plus purchase.

The Nike gift cards from the September box come with a free 2 day shipping code that can be used in conjunction with the $20 off.

 

[Moonittude]

I think the card comes with free 2-day shipping.

Jinx.

Maybe it's because I'm from Colorado, but when I first saw a brownie from a company called "Urban Remedy" I got confused as to why PopSugar was sending me a marijuana brownie. 

But aside from that, I really like the box.

Being from CA, I has the EXACT same thought.  Plus the packaging is the same as that stuff.  Gave me a laugh!

 

[Ruffinette]

I wish they'd hurry up and get the website back up so I can see how much money I will be throwing at them every month.

Maybe it would've tasted better if it was what we Californians and Colorodians thought it was.....

:lol:

The other looks pretty too, but I'm really hoping for purple. It's my favorite color! I just bought a teal ombré shower curtain to match my popsugar Turkish towels, so I love the style either way. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> That being said it may be a spring scarf for me! Already 46 degrees here in Wisconsin today! Broke out the Michael stars scarf from last Nov and it won't be long before I use the LE holiday one either. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

46 degrees?!?! oh my! it makes me cold just thinking about that! i do miss the snow at times and the more normal people outside of my state! no offense to FL, the weather is rocking but the crime is really bad here....

as much as i want to do holiday LE i don't know if i could DEAL after the fall LE, nothing wrong with each item just not a LE, and the scarf works as a sarong for me, yup! i don't even have my sept box now to confirm that i like the monthly scarf better! 

i need to get my sept box as i am furious with PS after fall LE! if I feel the monthly scarf is nicer than i can add that to my complaint! has anyone ever been able to speak with PS? just curious....

totally agree with everyone on allergies + such but nuts are a pretty common allergy and a lot of places + schools and such don't have nuts anymore - i deplore peanut butter + nuts in any baked goods but i'm not allergic! i do like pistachio's but only plain as is! 

 

[pbpink]

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!!

did you like fall LE scarf? 

btw, my friend bought a bunch of nike socks for her hubbie, free ship + paid nada

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.

scarf addict here! there is a free scarf tying app on iTunes by Hermes, it is a really good app and has little movies showing a million ways to tie all styles of scarves 

download here both iTunes + android

http://silkknots.hermes.com/index.php?lang=undefined

also, a great blog to tie scarves (both are her blogs)

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

love this SCARF!! uh no.......considering my fall LE is a sarong, i could always use another!

btw, our turkish towels were in coastal living magazine, i don't think anyone is reading old thread so here ya go:

love the serena + lilly ones, def my fave of all!

So I hate that their site is still down. Upside, they emailed me saying that they would send me out the towel I was suppose to get, shipping will just take up to two weeks.
