PopSugar Must Have: August 2015 (First impressions)

This is my second month of subscribing to the PopSugar Must Have Box. And let me start off by saying: another impressive box that I am totally thrilled with! This months inspirations were: Organization, morning routines, celebrations, caffeine, and back to school. And lets be real, as a nursing student these are pretty big themes in my life. While I am technically always in school (a week off every six months with no summer breaks) I love the feeling of "going back to school".  And as a student caffeine and organization are pretty much top on my list of needs. Morning routines are a serious struggle for me. So this box seriously hit the nail on the head for me! Lets get into it!

Mediterranean Plaid Scarf by American Colors: This scarf is definitely designed after what you see people wearing all over the Middle East. When I was in Israel I wore scarves all of the time, and this style you could get everywhere. The scarf itself is beautiful. I can see it will match a ton of things I own. Its also incredibly soft as it is made of 100% cotton gauze. American Colors also included a 20% of coupon. Suggested retail is $79.

Royal Apothic Tea Balm Firming Eye Treatment: I have always had puffy dark circles under my eyes. They are pretty hard for me to cover up. I am very excited to try this cream, which claims to firm and rejuvenate skin, smooth fine lines, and get rid of dark circles. At first glance its a nice thick eye cream. Although it says "tea balm" I went ahead and did the smell test, and there is no strong smell. So for those of you with sensitive skin/eyes, I think you'd still be able to enjoy this product. Suggested retail: $36

Pastel Best Day Ever Mug: I'm a coffee lover all the way. The mug is dishwasher and microwave safe. I know I will be getting good use out of it! Suggested retail $12

Happy Jackson Yay Lunch! Lunch Box: A very cute little piece of tupperware. Unfortunately it does not have separate sections if you want to pack things separately. But it would be perfect for storing a salad, fruit, pasta, etc in! This will be great for taking my lunch to work with me. Super cute and I know I will get good use out of it! Suggested retail $10

Southern Culture Shortstacks Pancake and Waffle Mix: I loveee waffles! My roommate got a waffle iron as a gift, and I have already texted her about breakfast for dinner tonight! Plus the mix is "birthday cake" which is a flavor I totally love when it comes to ice cream/baked goods! Can't wait to try it out! Suggested Retail $7.99

Meri Meri Too Sweet Pink Strip Napkins: The napkins are very cute. I do not usually purchase this sort of thing, but it will be nice to have for when we have guests over! Suggested retail $5.95

MyYogaWorks 3 month trial: I have never really gotten into yoga. But I always hear how amazing it is for you. I think that this could be great for my half marathon training. I really need to work on stretching and strengthening. It says there are over 700 classes online...so I feel like there should be something for everyone! Definitely will be giving it a try. May also give it to a friend :) Suggested retail $45

And for the special extra: Folgers Iced Cafe Caramel Macchiato Flavored Coffee Drink Concentrate- I love me some Caramel Macchiatos. I drink iced coffee all year round. And the product is 10 calories per serving. So if you make it with skim milk or almond milk, you will be saving so many calories by skipping the Starbucks version (though those are a great treat and I won't give them up completely). When I opened this I literally got up and went ahead and made one with almond milk, and I actually really like it! Suggested retail $4.99

So there you have it! That is what is in the August PopSugar Must Have Box! The total value of the box is $200.93! At a cost of $39.99 that is a pretty amazing deal! You can sign up for PopSugar's Must Have Boxes at https://musthave.popsugar.com/ . You can order the box on a monthly basis so if you end up not loving it (but I think you totally will) you can cancel at anytime! You can also sign up for 3 month and 6 month plans. Definitely something that would make a great gift too!

What do you think of the August box??
