Popsugar Must Have March 2014
This is how it usually goes for me and my subscription boxes:
Me: Ooooh, I like this box a lot! Let me look at all the previous months and choose whether or not to subscribe!
Then I subscribe. Beginning months are great! Then the boxes seem to go downhill. Maybe I get desensitized? Maybe I just get too greedy? Who knows. Months pass.
Me: These boxes are getting lame. I'm going to cancel my subscription.
Last box arrives.
Me: This is great! Maybe I should renew my subscription!

| PSMH March 2014 |
That is how PSMH went this month for me. It was great! I like this box a lot! It's making me reconsider canceling. I'm afraid that the April box will be FANTASTIC and I will miss out. But- I will be strong. I will stay unsubscribed... until a coupon comes out with a great spoiler attached. Then all bets are off!
So, for now, this is my last PSMH box. Prices have gone up, and most of the boxes have not reflected the higher price in their content.

This month's box contained:

| Real first look |
Activeforever Fusion Exercise Ball
 |
| Now, with handy dandy straw to inflate it! ActiveForever Fusion 7.5 inch Exercise Ball |
This is a tiny basket-ball sized (7.5 inch) exercise ball. I have NO IDEA what to use it for! It comes with a little straw to blow it up, and took all of three seconds to do so. Now what?
This is from Activeforever and suggested retail is $9.95.
Harvest Snaps Snapea Crisps in Lightly Salted
 |
| Snapea Crisps- Lightly Salted |
These have the texture of cheez doodles- the crunchy puffed up kind- with a subtle veggie (pea) flavor. They are strangely addictive! My boyfriend said they were weird, but he is not exactly a health-food connoisseur. If I happen to come across these in a store, and they have the wasabi-ranch flavor, I would probably pick some up.
 |
| This is what they look like. Appetizing? |
These sell for about $2 in various grocery stores. Here is their site.
Nature's Bakery All Natural Strawberry Fig Bar
 |
| Nature's Bakery Fig Bar in Strawberry Like a grown-up Fig Newton |
This was really really good! It's long gone...
You can get a 12-pack of these on Amazon for $7.50. That means this single bar is worth $0.63.
This month's big ticket item was the spoiler- a blue ikat scarf from Brokedown. This print was exclusively designed for PSMH, but this type of scarf retails for $72 on Brokedown's site. I have to say, this scarf is amazing!

| Brokedown Ikat Scarf |
I love the colors and the pattern, and it is just so darn soft! It is very lightweight, and I know I'll be able to wear it through the summer. Amazing.
Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum
 |
| Jurlique Advanced Serum |
It's a little unusual to see a non-full-sized item in PSMH, but it does happen. At least they send sample sizes that are very generous (this is half of the full size) and allow you to test out the product for a decent amount of time. I also think it's a little weird that they sent us a face serum (oil) last month, and then another one this month! That's ok- I send half of my oil from Nature's Organic (last month's brand) to my sister. This one might stay with me. This serum smells very strongly of roses, which I happen to like, and spreads out nicely. It absorbs pretty fast.
30 mL size on Jurlique's site is $54, making the 15 mL sample worth $27.
Dogeared Lucky Horseshoe Make a Wish Necklace
 |
| Dogeared Lucky Horseshoe Necklace |
This is a rather short gold horseshoe charm on tobacco silk thread. You are supposed to make a wish when you put this on, and then when the silk breaks, your wish will come true.
 |
| Blurry picture of the necklace on me. It's short. |
This is a cute necklace, but Dogeared has things that are much cuter! I would have picked a different design for myself, but it is still a nice idea. I might use the 30% off code to pick up some gifts! Everything is pretty reasonably price, which is nice.
This sells for $26 on the Dogeared site.
Baublebar Elephant Ring Tree
 |
| Baublebar Elephant Ring Tree |
This is adorable! I currently have my rings sitting in a tiny ceramic dish, but I think this will be cute next to my sink at home or on my desk at work (rings do not mix with continual rubber glove usage).
 |
| So cute! |
Baublebar has a number of really cute ring trees (that giraffe! omg!) that are all really reasonably priced! This was a nice addition to this month's PSMH box.
Ring tree, $12 on Baublebar.

| All together |
All together, this month's PSMH has an approximate value of $149.48. This box costs $39.95 per month, but lately they have been sending out discount codes for new subscribers (5 or 10 dollars off) each month. If you want to try it out, please use my link here. If one more person signs up with that link, I will get a free box!
