POPSugar Must Have Box- January 2013

Finally! I felt like I was waiting forever to get my favorite sub box in this month :) I was so excited to see what POPSUGAR had in store for their first box of the year.






I saw one big box and then a little section full of goodies. What could they be? Their theme for January was "getting a fresh start on that fitness resolution while still indulging in warm treats"




A stability ball! I have a bunch of these at the house already, but it is always nice to have one more. There was a card included with some at-home exercise suggestions which was nice and this will be great to keep in my room for some stretching after work. Maybe it will even inspire me to do some of the suggestions on the card in the evenings before bed!
This ball goes for $38.99 on the Merrithew.com website.



This REMIX watch was so cute! I love the all white look and since I now have to wear a watch for work, this was perfect. I was reading the cards included and there is a hidden button under the silicone case that is supposed to make the LED lights inside light up.....

....but when I pushed my button nothing happened :( No lighting up or anything. I emailed POPSugar's  customer service and I am waiting to hear back on a replacement! Last month they did great at getting me a replacement for a broken item, I hope that this time its just as awesome. Will update when I hear back!
These watches go for between $45 and $50 at RemixWatches.com

UPDATE: PopSugar sent me a replacement watch set! It had a baby blue watch in it with a fuchsia band and a baby pink band to switch it out. I have to say I am loving it! My wrist accidentally hits it all the time and it puts on a very cool light show. The white face watch part still tells time, it just does not light up. I have moved it to the fuchsia band and I am still enjoying the fashion statement it makes.
Mmmmmm I loooove any kind of lip balm so this Discovery Lip Balm from Epicuren was much appreciated. It is made with SPF 15 as well as tea tree oil for healing. It is nice and minty and very smooth on my lips. I have been using it every night before bed! They had included a lotion from Epicuren in the Lux Box in December which ended up being very hydrating.
I had a hard time finding this, but I think it goes for around $5 but I do not have a website that sells it. The product info can be found at Epicuren.com


These are the cutest things I have seen in chocolate yet! These PopBar Hot Chocolate on a Stick look so yummy! The directions on the back say to microwave some milk and stir with the bar on a stick...pretty simple! They come in dark and milk chocolate.
These go for $2.99 a piece on Amazon but you can see other awesome chocolate treats on a stick at Pop-Bar.com


And of course you can not have hot chocolate with out Mallow Bits from Kraft in Vanilla! These are what I used to pick out of the hot chocolate packs when I was a kid....but in a resealable tub instead! YUM! They are delicious and I am not above telling you that I was eating them right out of the container LOL.
While looking for the price (that is around $1.50) I found that they also come in other flavors like peppermint!

I have tried Think Thin bars before and they were sooooo good. These other versions, like Crunch and Divine were a nice surprise! I am going to pack them for a busy day at work and give them a whirl. The divine bar is like a candy bar with a healthy twist, and this crunch bar looks like a granola bar.
There are a bunch of other high protein bar flavors that I want to try like lemon creme pie and tangerine creamsicle. I hope I can find these in stores! These go for about $2 a piece.




The voucher for this month's box was for Casetagram....an app for your phone where you can use your Instagram or camera library pictures to create a case for your phone, from your phone! So neat! This was a voucher for $15. I downloaded the app and put my case together....



And here is a screen shot of my order! Of course I did a "Bentley" theme for my case. They had a TON of layouts too choose from and many effects for the pictures. With my $15 credit, it ended up being $19.95 and did not show the break down of how it got to that price on the check out screen. This could be addictive...if I could more cases at that price! When the case comes in, I will post pictures and update my review!












That is the entire box! I think that POPSUGAR knocked it out of the park again this month and curated a great box. I really love that they find items that are a bit obscure. When I show up to work with a (hopefully working) Remix watch and my very own personalized phone case, I am sure I will be the envy of the office!
