Since this blog's inception, I've been a huge lover of subscription boxes. From Birchbox to Ipsy to NatureBox, I've loved and tried a lot of the boxes on the market.

My favorite, by far, has always and probably will always be the PopSugar Must Have box. It costs $39.99 a month but comes with at least $100 worth of product inside... and it's all full size and lifestyle products, so you get a mixture of everything.

*I've reviewed so many Must Have boxes over the years.. check out some past reviews!



PopSugar Must Have is celebrating their 5th birthday with a stellar, spectular August box. They were kind enough (like they always are) to send me the box and ugh, I was pleasantly surprised when I opened it.




First up is a mask I've been wanting to try since it came out but never pulled the trigger; the First Aid Beauty Bouncy Mask. This is an all in one mask that will just make your skin look and feel better and I can't wait to try it out.

Next up was my 2nd favorite thing in here... a gorgeous blush colored, leather bound notebook from Fringe Studio. The last thing I need is a new notebook but it's just so pretty!

In the past year since I started loving interior design, I've wanted a breakfast tray or similar item so when I saw this 'Cheers' lacquered tray from Pasatel, I nearly keeled over. My mom already stole it from me and put it on the living room coffee table.



Some other fun items inside the box were a Shoptiques $25 gift card, some gorgeous long stemmed gold glitter candles from Meri Meri (which I will be using for my 25th birthday), Goodie Girl Chocolate Chunk Gluten Free Cookies (which I ate as soon as I opened the box) and an adorable Dogeared Friendship Bracelet.



This was a really great box, one of the best I've seen in a while and I'm happy that I was able to receive it and show it off to you all!

Must Have is really the only subscription box I think is worht it nowadays; the market is saturated with boxes but this has clearly stood the test of time and keeps getting better and better!

If you want to try out Must Have on your own, use the code PARTY for $10 off your first box -- trust me, you won't regret it!

POPSUGAR sent me this Must Have box to try but all opinions are my own!

I love reviewing subscription boxes because even though the market is flooded with them, they're still exciting to receive and see what is stuffed inside.

POPSUGAR, like I've mentioned in the past, is one of my favorite subscription boxes. For $40 a month you can receive this lovely little box, and it's filled with all full sized products in a variety of categories, and the value is always so much more than the $40 you pay.

I was so excited to receive another box courtesy of POPSUGAR and review it for you!

I received the July box and it was filled with all kinds of summer fun. Sunny.Retro.Fun.Vintage.Playful.Cheeky.Warm is what it says on the card which is definitely the vibe I get from the box.




The beauty products I received were the Sachajuan Hair in the Sun and European Wax Center Oh My Brow Highlighter. I love the idea of Hair in The Sun, a treatment that protects your hair from the UV rays and helps keep it healthy post sun. The brow highlighter is also gorgeous, definitely a step up from any other highlight I've seen.

Those were probably my favorite items but this next item is a close third. House of Pom Emoji Cocktail Napkins are so cute and such good quality! I don't host that many cocktail parties so I figured I'd keep these in my room and use them as coasters. Improvise, people!




I won't get that much use out of the Sunnylife Inflatable Swan Drink Holder because I don't have a pool, but if you do, it's such a cute summer idea!

I already tied the Michael Stars Porcelain Skinny Scarf along with the Pintrill Pineapple Pin on my Tory Burch Perry Tote, as an added decor item.

Some fun extras in the box were Joe Chips Sea Salt Potato Chips *which were delicious* and a $20 gift card to Trove, which has gorgeous, dainty jewelry.

This was such a fun box and honestly, there is hardly anything in these boxes that I don't find a use for.

If you're in the market for a subscription box, in my opinion, the only one to go for is POPSUGAR Must Have. PLUS, you can use code SHOP5 for $5 off your FIRST BOX!

Happy subscribing everyone!

This product was sent to me in exchange for a review but all opinions are my own.

I've been out of the subscription game for a while; I stopped my Birchbox subscription a while ago, I don't receive any food boxes anymore. I am receiving the Sephora Play box (post coming soon) but I'm unsure if it's worth it.

As much as I love getting a present delivered to my door every month, I just don't have the budget and sometimes getting too much every month makes me feel overwhelmed.

Also, everyone has a subscription box now and the market is very saturated -- how can you possibly just choose one to receive?

The ONE box that I do love and recommend if you're in the market for a new subscription service is PopSugar Must Have. I just think the value always beats everyone else & the price is a medium mix: $39.99 per month and usually the box is valued at AT LEAST $100, if not more.

I've partnered with PopSugar in the past & they've sent me boxes for review, and we're back at it again. I was so excited to receive the June box, I always feel like the summer boxes are exciting at PopSugar.

Side note: If $39.99 a month is too much for you, PopSugar just recently released their mini subscription box for around $18 a month. You get 2 items and the box is valued at around $50. I subscribed to this the first month it was offered and I received a candle & a Farmacy Lip Bloom. I was pretty happy with it but quickly canceled because it's just not in my budget. Once I get on track, I probably will subscribe to that because I like the idea of a cheaper box but still a good value.

I was really happy with what was in the June box; it's a mixture of food, lifestyle, fashion, beauty, and it's honestly just a box of fun.

The theme of this month's box (every PopSugar Must Have is centered around a theme and all the items are related ) was "sunshine, cheers, joy, togetherness, outdoors, and festivities" so the start of summer, outdoor fun, and entertaining.




I have to say, everything really does scream summer & entertaining and I really like it.

First up, a Neutral Diamonds-Printed Sarong that is super cute, good quality and versatile. It can be used over a bathing suit, as a shall, on your head-- I may not get too much use out of this but I know my mom definitely will.




Some beauty products that I received was a NCLA nail polish in "Born on the Fourth" which is a red, white, and blue glitter polish. I haven't tried it out yet but I sure will once July 1st comes. Also, NCLA is a great, expensive high quality nail polish brand so my expectations are high.





I received Pacifica Under Arm Deodorant Wipes and these are very intriguing. I have never tried a Pacifica product but I have been wanting to for a while. I think the idea of this product is really interesting and it's ideal for the beach or the gym so I will definitely be trying these out and possible reporting back.

A lifestyle/beauty item was a Knock Knock "Are You Ready For Your Close Up" Compact. I have a few compact mirrors but I really like this one because it's one that you open & close, and it also has a magnifying mirror in addition to a regular one. This is my new go-to.



As for the entertaining items, a bottle opener that says "Cheers" and a "Wild & Wolf" Who Am I? Quiz, which my family & I played at yesterday's Father's Day BBQ.



And FINALLY, the food item in this month's box was a bag of 'Pressels', a lower calorie pretzel, in the Sriracha flavor. I haven't eaten them yet but I'm sure they're good -- I hardly ever do not like the snacks that come in subscription boxes.

And there you have it, everyone. The June 2016 PopSugar Must-Have Box. If you have the extra money and like a subscription box that isn't in one specific niche, this is the one you need. I promise, you will not be disappointed.

I am a bauble addict. Baublebar is my drug of choice but honestly, any statement necklace will satisfy my craving.

I have too much jewelry for someone who doesn't go out that often but I'll be damned if I leave the house to go to Starbucks and don't have a watch or ring on.

My love of jewelry is something that is not new, I've always been a fan but more recently, as I've started to really come into my own, I've started to experiment more.

As much as I love jewelry, I love subscription boxes even more. When you combine those two loves, you get Rocksbox.

I've been seeing this service all over the blogosphere (as I'm sure you have too) and I was always very intrigued by it. I didn't want to take the plunge just yet because honestly, I can't afford $20 a month of jewelry I can't keep.

However, my curiosity got the best of me and I signed up for a free box after seeing Katey's of Chronicles of Frivolity review (The blog is my everything FYI). I used her special code after taking the detailed quiz and my box was on it's way!

If you don't know, Rocksbox is a subscription service that sends you 3 pieces of high end jewelry a month, based off of a quiz you take before you sign up. It's $20 a month and you get to keep the jewelry for that amount of time.

At the end of the month, you can send the pieces back or buy them for a discounted price. The next month, you get a brand new box with new pieces and so on and so forth.

After you take the quiz, you are presented with a few different options that you can add to your wishlist. This helps your stylist(the person who puts your box together) find the perfect fit for your box.



I was really excited to see what was sent to me and so pleasantly surprised and awestruck when I opened the box. The pieces were gorgeous! And the way the box is packaged is so cute, definitely a nice touch. I appreciate good packaging in all aspects so its always an added bonus.



I received a delicate bracelet, a pair of stud earrings, and one of the most gorgeous statement necklaces I've ever seen.




The statement necklace was from Perry Street and it was the Jane necklace; as you can see it was gorgeous, blue flowers. I wore this to work one day with a plain black sweater and black jeans and it really just pulled together the whole look. I really considered buying this but I may find something similar with a smaller price tag.

I don't wear earrings too often so I thought this would be a good way to force myself too but eh, no such luck. The earrings were gorgeous, delicate gold studs by Gorjana. They were called the Pristine Circle Stud Earrings and they were really nice, just not on me. I don't know what it is but I hate the way my ears look when I wear earrings.



The cuff is something I wore almost everyday and I know I will be buying something similar to this soon. It was the Pave and Pearl Cuff from Jules Smith and it was stunning. A simple, thin cuff was so comfortable to wear daily, and it dressed up even the bummest of outfits. I was obsessed with this piece.



Altogether, I was so happy with the jewelry in my box and was so sad when I had to send it back.

Ultimately, as much as I loved the pieces, I cancelled my subscription. It's not worth it to me at the moment to spend $20 a month on jewelry that I can't keep. The idea is awesome and maybe in the future, when I have the extra money this will be something I really consider.
