November POPSUGAR Must Have Box

L to R | Wine Glass Writer | Tiny Prints Thoughtful Hearts Stationery | The Secret Recipes by Dominique Ansel | K. Hall Simpatico Ambergris Shea Butter Cream | Sorial Saffiano Wallet on a Chain | G.H. Cretors Chicago Mix Popped Corn

This POPSUGAR Must Have Box had me at "Hello." I was so excited about everything in it. 

The Tiny Prints Thoughtful Hearts Stationery and the Wine Glass Writes I have not used yet. The stationery cards I will more than likely save for a special occasion. The Wine Glass Writers will more than likely be used for other arts and crafts projects. I don't have a lot of parties right now so writing on wine glasses isn't really a priority. But making cute notes, that's another story. 

I'm sure excited about using the Secret Recipes by Dominique Ansel. Who may I add is the creator of the Cronut, the most delicious snack EVER! I love how the book is broken down in recipes for beginner, intermediate and advanced cooks. The book is filled with great stories and amazing pictures. I'm super excited to try the Chocolate Pecan Cookies, Popcorn Chouquettes and the Purple Tart. All in the beginner section, don't want to try and get all fancy just yet, but this Marshmallow Apple is calling my name.

I wore the Sorial Saffiano Wallet the other day and it was perfect for running errands. This navy color goes with everything and theres a surprise leopard lining on the inside. There is just enough room for my wallet, keys and lipgloss. Luckily I had pockets so I put my phone in my pocket. I love this small bag because it's just big enough, there's a small pocket that I can put money or cards in if I don't want to carry my entire pouch and theres a metal strap long enough to wear it crossbody. 

The G.H. Cretors Chicago Mix Popper Corn was my second favorite thing in the box. The popcorn is a mix of caramel and cheddar popcorn. I mostly separated the two flavors when eating and my favorite had to be the caramel. I did try it a few times together and it was quite good. I think it was more of a mental thing thananything. But I would definitely buy this again as I ate the bag in a few days after receiving the box. No Judgement Zone lol.

MY FAVORITE is the K. Hall Simpatico Ambergris Shea Butter Cream. I use this lotion everyday and carry it with me everywhere. It's perfect for my purse but I do use it on my entire body. I call this my "Grown Woman" lotion. The cream is the perfect thickness and the scent is heaven. It's great for my dry skin and the fragrance isn't too much. It's like having perfume on. I love a two in one product. 

So that's it for this month's POPSUGAR Must Have Box. I appreciate them sending this over to me to check out. You can subscribe to the monthly box for $39.95 a month.

POPSUGAR Open House

Dress Rachel Pally | Necklace Zara | Bag Gregory Sylvia | Heels Mossimo | Earrings Forever 21 | Bangles Downtown LA

A few weeks ago I was invite to the POPSugar offices for Blogger's Office Hours. In true fashion I was late, as I usually am smh. I promise to be on time next time. :) Anywho my fellow bloggers and I were educated on various blogging topics including scheduling, brand partnerships and collaging. Drinks were provided by Pressed Juicery and Fiji water. To conclude the afternoon we were given our choice of goodies from the Sugar Babies Cupcakery Food Truck. I choose cheesecake and 3 cupcakes, Sweet and Salty, Red Velvet and Bacon. To top all of that off we were gifted the cutest Dogeared Key necklace. I can't wait to wear it, please see below.    

As far as my outfit. I wanted to be comfortable and ladylike at the same time. The dress is the best combination of femininity and comfort. I added a subtle pop color with my silver and blue statement necklace. I kept the rest of my palate neutral and added a berry lip to finish the look.

POPSUGAR Must Have Box


Earlier this month I recieved the POPSUGAR Must Have Box (https://musthave.popsugar.com/) in the mail. The box included some great full size products for the summer. My favorite products have to be the Sacha Juan Body Lotion, You Smell Body Wipes and the One Potato Two Potato Kettle Chips.

The Sacha Juan Body Lotion has to be my ultimate favorite. I call it my grown woman lotion. The light fragrance and non greasy formula are perfect. The fragrance I have is Shiny Citrus and the lotion retails for $24. 

I was a little hesitant to try the You Smell Body Wipes because the fragrance is Lemon. Last thing I want to do is smell but I definitely do not want to smell like a lemon wipe you get from a restaurant. It almost smells like sweet lemonade versus a lemon. A box of wipes is $5 and now I want to try their other products too.

Anyone who knows me knows I love kettle chips. The One Potato Two Potato Kettle Chips caught my eye immediately. The fact that they were Hawaiian BBQ intrigued me. They were almost a sweeter form of honey BBQ. Needless to say they were delicious. You can build a box of 24 for less than $1 a bag.


POPSUGAR provided me with a complimentary POPSUGAR Must Have box. The opinions I have shared about the box are my own and POPSUGAR did not tell me what to say or how to say it.
