Popsugar Must Have - June 2014

June's Popsugar Must Have box just came in and I think this is a great selection of items for summer.  I tend to like items that will be useful or can be used up and this fits the bill.

The One and Only by Emily Giffin - $28 value

I've read other books by Emily Giffin and have enjoyed them, so this will be a nice summer read.  I especially appreciate the hardcover version…I hate creasing my spines of my paperbacks and I treat them like they are loaded with C-4.  I also hate lending out my paperbacks for the same reason…this is sturdier so it looks like I'll be able to share this with someone when I'm done.

Sachajuan Body Lotion in Shiny Citrus - $24 value

I own a lot of lotions.  Like a LOT.  And I really hate slathering on lotion for some reason (especially on dry skin) so I tend to use moisturizers or oils in the shower.  That being said, this smells nice and sweet and citrusy without being overly cloying or artificial, and the simplistic packaging makes it look schmancy.  Therefore, this will be regulated to the gift pile or the visitors-are-coming pile.

Turkish T Towel in turquoise stripe – $32 value

I've been hearing about these types of towels so I am thrilled to have one to try out.  This is lightweight yet still absorbent = perfect for beach bags and for traveling, since it won't take up so much space or weight.  Doesn't hurt that its cute, too…they recommend using it as a sarong or a scarf or wrap, too.  Straight out of the package, its a little rougher than I expected, but at 100% cotton it will soften up after washing and use.  I will be swapping for a second with someone so that I'm set for vacationing this summer!

You Smell Wet Wipes in Lemon – $5 value

This is a new brand to me…their packaging is cute and they will be handy to throw into my bag.  I was expecting a more natural lemon scent, but that's okay.  They are approved because they meet my useful requirement.

One Potato Two Potato Kettle Chips in Hawaiian BBQ – $1.50 value

Already ate these (lol).  I will never say no to yummy treats in my sub boxes.

Lollies Hair Ties (colors may vary, mine were black/white/green but I saw grey options) – $8 value

I like these, they are made of a kind of swimsuit type material.  At first I was bummed about the olive green color but realized I have several pairs of shorts that will match.   I'll most likely use the green and black, the mixed color one is too juvenile for public for me.  I like that they can double as bracelets too. Again, they meet my useful requirement, so I approve!

And a Native Union Gift Card/Coupon Code – $15 value

This is most definitely an extra and not to be considered a part of the box value, as it does require you to spend money to use it.  I've been eyeing the monocle though, so this might be the chance to pull the trigger.  

Total box value came in at around $99 dollars, which isn't bad for a $40 sub.  The towel alone is $32, so for $8 more for everything else, I'm satisfied!  If you are interested in signing up for Popsugar and you liked my review, please consider using my referral code.  You can also use REFER5 to save $5 off your first order, or JUNESELECT10 to save $10 off a 3 month sub.
