Popsugar Must Have June 2014

Here come the June boxes!  It seems like I get a little back logged early in the month when things start to arrive so I'm going to try do do one review daily to get caught up.  I'll start with the first to arrive, Popsugar Must Have.

Here is my box!


Sachajuan Shiny Citrus Body Lotion ($24)
I'm someone that definitely needs to be better at applying lotion daily.  This has a very soft citrus scent.  I might end up giving this as a gift unless I can motivate myself to use this to moisturize daily as I should be doing.



Turkish T Mykonos Breeze Towel ($32)

This is a super light weight towel.  The description says it can also be used as a wrap (seems weird).  I guess it would making for a good blanket for an impromptu day outside since it is small enough to fit in a purse. 



The One & Only by Emily Giffin ($16.52)

Emily Griffin is the queen of chick lit summer beach reads.  I've enjoyed all her other books so far and was excited for this one to be released.  Unfortunately I was so excited for it, I checked it out from the library last week and finished it.  I was actually thinking about doing a post to review this book.  Instead I think I'll post my thoughts below.  Don't read the bottom of this post if you don't want spoilers!!!!  ;-)  I'll be giving this book to a friend to enjoy.  



Lollies Hair Ties ($8) (may be variations)

My hair is in a ponytail almost every day so I have a wide collection of hair ties.  D enjoys finding them all over our apartment.  These are made of swimsuit fabric so they won't stretch out.  They also look cute when wearing them on my wrist.  



You Smell Lemon Verbena Aloe Wet Wipes ($5)

These wipes are designed to allow for freshening up on the go.  Basically they remind me of lemon scented baby wipes.  I do like how they are individually wrapped.  I can see these coming in handy during a full day of excursions.


Native Union Coupon Code ($15)

Eh.  Not really excited by this.  There are some interesting items on the website, but nothing I'm interested in for only $15.  And shipping would be extra.  I won't be using this.


One Potato, Two Potato Hawaiian BBQ Chips ($2)

These sound delicious.  Can't wait to try them!




As I was discussing with a friend yesterday, this is a fun beach themed box but no where near as awesome as the April box.  Like all Popsugar boxes, the value is impressive (~$87 not including the coupon card)  I do really enjoy the variety of items that come month in this subscription and think it's one of the best boxes out there.

My Thoughts on "The One and Only"
I was really excited for this book since the description reminded me of "Friday Night Lights" (one of the best TV shows EVER!).  It was a quick read and clearly kept my interest BUT, I'm a little weirded out about how Shea ended up with Coach Carr.  I appreciate the fact that 21 years is not a Hugh Hefner level age difference, but the fact he was a father figure to Shea, for her ENTIRE life, made this pairing seem wrong to me.  There is also the issue that it's her best friend's father.  It also bothered me how a relationship that clearly effected almost every character in the book was so nicely wrapped up and tied with a bow very quickly at the books end.  I've read some other reviews that complained about all the football talk, but I thought it fit well within the novel.

Did anyone finish this book?  Thoughts?
