September Must Have Box + New Foodie Favorites

September 16, 2014 by Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 29 Comments

My last POPSUGAR Must Have Box was pretty cool, but I didn’t realize just how cool it was until after I published that post. To catch you all up, POPSUGAR’s Must Have Box is a monthly subscription box full of hand-selected full-sized “must have” items in fashion, beauty, decor, fitness, and food from the POPSUGAR editors. It costs $39.95 a month, but the items you get always value the box over $100 dollars. This box values over $220! That’s how cool this subscription box is. None of those sample sized cheap finds, but real quality goods with real value.

Let us take a look at the goodies I got in the September box…

MY LATEST VIDEOS

From left to right:

Model Gradation Scarf in Raisin from Tilo Scarves: $125 ~ Totally pretty and perfect for me! I live in scarves come fall, winter, and spring!

Stereo Earbuds from Nicole Miller $20 ~ Now I just need to start liking music…

Almond Brownie + $10 off discount from Urban Remedy $6 ~ Mmmm 😉

From left to right:

Superfine Purse Size Hair Spray from Oribe $21.50 ~ This is useful since I forgot to bring hairspray down to college with me…

Gold Foil Arrow Pencils from Letter C Design $5 ~ Well these are super cute! Perfect for class 😛

Garance Dore Assorted Girls Set from Rifle Paper Co. $18 ~ This pretty little cards are perfect to hand written letters in!

Gift Card from Nike $20 ~ Well…I do love this! Not sure whats with the random measuring tape though, haha!

They also sent some Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Sea Salt & Almond Minis as a special extra. But milk and soy = not for me. Thus, I left these for my roommates to enjoy with a note saying Merry Christmas to whomever wants these! This box was totally fun and I can’t wait until I get to test out the next box sometime! You can all get $10 off a 3 month subscription now until 9/30 when you use the code: SEPT14SELECT at check out!

And now for some other awesome foodie related finds I have been loving and need to finally share! A new city = new food and finds 😉

New Foodie Finds | Strength and SunshineFrom Top left going clockwise:

Pomegranate Chips from Simply 7 ~ Whole Foods had these babies! Finally! After my love for Simply 7 Quinoa Crisps, I had to get these. Pomegranate CHIPS!? They are melt-in-your-mouth-creamy and slightly sweet! I love these so much!

Baking Mixes from Zenero ~ I have been in contact with this new company for months and they were finally ready to launch their products and send me some to try out! However…I didn’t realize I don’t have any baking pans to make this stuff just yet…but I will.

Crazy Richard’s Chunky Peanut Butter and Dastony’s Hazelnut Butter ~ Everyone has been raving about Richards lately so I had to pick some up at the Safeway down the road to try. This hazelnut butter I got in one of my last Vitacost hauls but have yet to try it! What am I waiting for?!

Veganic Sprouted Brown Rice Cacao Crisps from One Degree Organic Foods ~ This.Cereal.Is.Crack. Enough said.

Coffee Cacao and Lemon Goldenberry Power Snacks from Navitas Naturals ~ They randomly send me these and I love them!

NuGo Free Gluten-Free Vegan Carrot Cake Protein Bar, Kit’s Organic Cashew Bar, Open Nature Mixed Sesame Fruit and Nut Bar (from Safeway), Ginny Bakes Karma, Love & Apricot Bar ~ The NuGo and Open Nature bars are new to me, and the others I just really love 😉 They are all steller!

Frieda's Produce | Strength and Sunshine

The above pictures can basically tell you all you need to know about my mood on Friday. My beautiful friends at Frieda’s sent me a box of produce and not just any produce. PSP SEASON IS BACK! I can’t handle myself right now. They sent me 4 gorgeous Stokes Purple Sweets (I ate one before I took this picture…it was delicious. Topped with Dastony Coconut Butter and Cinnamon). They also sent two Carnival Squash and 2 large Garnet Yams. But the PSPs are all I care about right now. The sad thing is, I don’t think any store in DC cares them, which means I am going to need to beg Frieda’s to keep the shipments coming, or hope my grocery store back home in Jersey still gets them and then have my mom ship me some. I can not live without! These last few months have been rough without these lovelies in my life. I can’t wait to make PSPcakes this weekend (hopefully my care package(s) from home will get here with my vanilla protein powder though!). Until then I am just going to make these last as long as possible and savor each and every bite!

So tell me:

+ Tell me you latest and greatest foodie finds!

+ Have you tried any of the products/foods above?

+ Are you a scarf wearing lover like me? I really do feel naked without them. Just like my headbands. I need them to feel normal!

**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. It’s the honest truth!**

    Oh, I received one of these Popsugar Must Have Boxes a while back when I won a contest from their website–it was the February box–and I fell in love with it! I think it’s an ingenious idea and they always have nifty products.

    PURPLE SWEET POTATOES?!?!!? WHAAAAAAAT? I have never had one! What makes them so special?! I don’t have them around here, but now I want one 🙁 And that crack cereal! My fun foodie find was a donation of GINORMOUS CUCUMBERS literally the size of a paper towel roll from my boyfriend’s cousin’s garden!
