January 2017 PopSugar Must Have Box Review

Hey, friends. I meant to show up here yesterday, but this weekend was a tough one with spending time with my best friend and going to her mom’s memorial. Thank you for all of your kind words on her passing.

Today, I wanted to share the contents of my PopSugar box. This was one of those months with a high value item I loved, which made everything else feel like extra. Overall, it was a nice combination of fun and useful items.

Note: This post contains referral links. If you decide to purchase a PopSugar box, I would love it if you used my link.



GOLDFADEN MD Fresh A Peel Multi Acid Resurfacing Peel ($85): 
I have heard so many good things about the GOLDFADEN MD brand, but at $85, I could never justify the price. I am so excited to try this peel. My favorite part of it is it only takes one to three minutes to work.

Manduka eQua Mat Towel in Playa ($38): 
I don’t do yoga, so I didn’t even know you need a towel for your yoga mat. I definitely think I can repurpose it, though, because it’s so soft!

May Designs Desk Calendar and Notecard ($25): 
I was so excited when I saw this item in the box! All of the designs are adorable, and I love that you can flip the card over and cut on the dotted line to turn each page into a notecard. Items like these are why I love PopSugar so much.

Daily Concepts Your Hair Wrap Towel ($18): 
I’ve never really used a special hair wrap towel, but this one says it helps eliminate frizz, so I am willing to give it a try.

Dean & Deluca Peppermint Loose Leaf Tea ($10.75): 
I love tea, but I don’t like peppermint tea. I’ll probably pass this on to my mom.

Sourcebooks Inc Instant Happy Notes ($8.99): 
This little book includes 101 sticky notes you can tear off to brighten someone’s day! I can’t wait to use these.

Special Extra: Glade No 3 Coconut and Beach Woods Candle ($4.99): 
This item is a special extra, which means it doesn’t count towards the value of the box. I am sensitive to a lot of strong smells, and I really hated this one. That said, it doesn’t bother me that this was in the box since it doesn’t contribute to its value. I’ll definitely pass it on to a friend who will enjoy it!

The total value of this PopSugar box was about $186. That’s a huge value for a box that only cost me $20 during the Black Friday sale.

If you are interested in a PopSugar subscriptionPopSugar is currently offering $5 of your first box with the code “MUSTHAVE5.”

  1. I think that candle sounds delicious! Haha! But it also sounds like it's one of those scents you have to really like :) I use a towel wrap on my hair every day. I don't know about reducing frizz, but it does save me a towel and it's smaller than having a huge thing on my head.
    Is the yoga towel/cover the size of the mat? If so it's typically used in hot yoga :) It keeps your hands and feet from sliding when you're covered in sweat... Hahaha! I have one :)
    Sounds like a great box this month!!

  2. I used to subscribe to this box and stopped when I felt like their items were getting kind of crappy. It looks like they're stepping up their game again!

  5. I just reviewed the January box too! My favorite item was definitely the peel. I already tried it and loved it! I also really liked the candle. Here's the link: https://txtanya.blogspot.com/2017/01/popsugar-january-box.html

    I'm so sorry to hear about your friend's mother. I'm glad you were there for her at the memorial.

  6. Hooray for loving the expensive item this month! I actually just got a May Designs planner for the first time this year and I love it! So I think that receiving their desk calendar is so awesome! I'm glad that this month was such a hit!

  7. I'm interested to hear what you think about the peel. $85 is steep but if it's very effective then having a product you can use at home within minutes sure beats going to a salon and paying more.

  8. Overall looks like a great box! I have a hair wrap towel and absolutely love it! I love that you got some great high priced items, but sometimes those strong candles and scents are awful!

  9. I love hair wrap towels. I didn't know they sold some with a specific purpose in mind lol, I definitely need one. The frizz is real in Georgia.

  10. Bummer about that tea because that's a yummy flavor, but I'm with you on trying that head wrap towel will be interesting to see if it works!

  11. Wow - that's a quick peel (and an expensive one!)... what a great thing to be able to try at that price point!!

  12. Awesome! Glad you loved most of the box. I can't do fragrances or chemicals that aren't natural... so I wouldn't keep the candle either. I'm sure someone will love the candle, and it's good that you can pass the tea along to your mom! XO - Alexandra
