*Spoilers* October 2013 Popsugar Must Have Box

[caseybean025]

I'm actually loving this cookbook even though I haven't made anything from it yet. I wanna make the pesto pasta ASAP! My favorite meal at Noodles is pesto cavatappi (not sure if I spelled that correctly or not) and it looks/sounds identical. Soooo pumped to try it now that I have a couple days off!

So, I still have the Gorjana code, which may have expired, and the Charm & Chain code, which expires at the end of the year and I'm totally not going to use either of them... does anybody want to swap for their Stitch Fix code?  

Also, what range of colors did Julep send out?  I got the Coco color, which is a little dark for my tastes.  I got a dark purple (Gabrielle) in our Citrus Lane last month so I was hoping for something "lighter" but I'm not really that picky.   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

ETA: Found the swaps thread, posted there too!

It was delicious!

That looks really good, and I don't even like peas! I need to check out the cook book a little more in depth... I'm currently in weight loss mode of healthy eating (reaaaally trying to not call it a diet) so hopefully there are some recipes that will fit.

I seriously need to look through the cookbook and find some recipes before going to the market. And I seriously LOVE that wet brush! I have no clue how I didn't know about it till now. My hair has always been long and tangly. As soon as I brush it doesn't take more than 5 minutes to create tangly knots. But this brush glided through my hair and then added some hair oil and my hair has never look better. I actually really enjoyed everything in this box with the exception of the makeup! Crazy because I love makeup but I just really didnt like this months selection.

I have a stitch fix code if anyone wants to trade.

I'm still torn if I'm going to renew or not -- especially since I FINALLY got an invite for Yuzen, I've been waiting for that *forever*. 

 

[CuriouslyAmanda]

I received the upgrade email last week but my account is still not showing any tracking information. Has anyone else who got the upgrade had their box ship yet?

what are you looking to trade for??

 

[meaganola]

I intended to make turkey Bolognese yesterday/today and never got around to buying the ingredients.  Maybe next weekend.  I love that stuff, and I just don't think about making any unless I have a recipe RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.  The other versions I've tried freeze really well, and it's cook-big-batches-on-the-weekend-and-freeze-for-future-dinners season, so I might as well try this one.  I usually make a lot of soup and chili, so this would be a nice change of pace.

(The reason I'm not going to go get the stuff and make it at this point:  I'm *really* craving pizza, so I'm going to get that instead.  I kept saying I was going to get one last week to have for lunch/dinner for several days since I was on vacation all week and never got around to that, either.  Procrastination ahoy!)

I successfully used 2 stitch fix codes- my account credit is $40- is their a limit to the amount that can be applied? I'm hoping to snatch my sis's code /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Nice!  

Mine applied no problems, if anyone else is giving them up let me know.

 

[superhans]

if anyone wants to PM me, i'd be happy to trade my shoptiques card or G&J bracelet for a stitch fix card since it seems like they stack. sorry if this doesn't go here - couldn't find a popsugar trade thread /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[fairytale113]

I would like to trade my stitchfix card but I have never done this before so I have no idea how this works. If anyone is interested in the stitch fix card let me know.

I have the stitch fix card that I'm not planning to use. I will trade for a Shoptiques card or the bracelet or the wet brush or the two julep nail polishes. I've never traded though, so someone will have to walk me through it.

Have any of you contacted Popsugar regarding the fact that the Stitch card can't be used by plus-sized subscribers? I'm curious if they are actually going to make any accommodations for that. I recently had to contact them about a billing issue, so I don't want to be a pest. Otherwise I would probably email them, since I do think they specifically promised that items would not be size specific. As far as the box contents go, I have to say that my favorite item is the brush. It's amazing and has totally helped me to de-friz my hair. It's worth the price of the box alone just to discover the brush. Not sure how it works since it just looks like any other brush, but its wonderful.

This was my first box. I was disappointed but I had friends over this past weekend and they were SUPER impressed and blown away. I guess maybe stalking previous boxes set up my expectations but it was nice to see it through fresh eyes.

I was disappointed at first too... Basially with the brand of makeup. If it was higher end I would have loved the box. As I  started using the items I now love the box. It was my first box too.

 

[danator]

yeah I recently chopped off most of my hair so the brush was useless (would have loved it when I had long hair however) the bracelet isn't my style I typically use pinterest to search for recipes. That said I love the nail polish, the baked good was demolished immediately, and I've thumbed through the cookbook more than i expected. I originally signed up for a 3-month subscription, with the price change i'm still not sure if i'll renew, i keep going back and forth. I believe we have to commit and lock in the price before the next box comes out so it's a little difficult since I don't have a lot to base my decision off of.

hi! I am super new to posting on blogs; please forgive me of any errors in etiquette. The PS Must Have folks are amazing. Not only is my second (October) box amazing, the folks behind the scenes are amazing too! I emailed an issue I had an I promptly received a reply. Great customer service is always kudos worthy!
