Popsugar April Reveal 2017

The April Popsugar Must Have box just arrived and it was a total surprise!  I received an email that it sold out and I didn’t make the list.  ? Then I saw the first and then the second spoiler I was actually sad.  So when I opened my mailbox and found the April box it was like a childhood Christmas!  {Check out more of my Popsugar Box reviews!)

Popsugar Must Have box is a monthly subscription box of curated gift items.  Each month has a theme and around 5-7 items that match the theme.  The cost is $39.95 a month. Use coupon code SHOP5 to save $5 off your first box.

April Must Have Box:

Morning Culture Dipped Bamboo Cutting Board $22 — This was the first spoiler I received and I WANTED it the second I saw it.  The color is perfect in my kitchen and it is the perfect cheese board.  I plan on putting a bit of parchment paper just to be sure there aren’t any issues with the paint.  The board is so pretty in person and a really unique gift.

CocoLab Cocofloss $8 —  Ok, I know floss isn’t exciting but I saw this brand on Instagram and really wanted to try it out.  I actually opened it immediately just to try it out!  The blogger I saw that posted about it wasn’t lying; the Cocofloss does feel like it cleans better than normal floss.  The thickness, flavor, and packaging are all really nice.  I now want to try EVERY flavor.  ?

Pronamel $6 — I like getting things like this in my PS boxes.  It saves me from having to run to the drugstore and lets me try new brands.

Tonic Australia Lavender Sachets $15 — This box makes it tough to pick a favorite but if I had to these sachets would be in the top few.  The patterns are so stunning and perfectly my style.  I fell in love with lavender sachets in Croatia so these bring back travel memories.  I honestly plan on buying at least 10 more of these.  I like them that much!

The Cottage Greenhouse Carrot & Neroli Body Wash $22 — This body wash busted in shipment so when I opened the box it smelled delicious!  Sadly, the bottle is only 3/4 full because I really like it.  I used it as bubble bath and it left my skin and bathroom smelling like Spring.

Nourish Snacks Holy Habanero $2 — These were delicious and just the right amount of spice.

MakersKit Crystal Sand Art $32 — Ok, now this was AMAZING!!  The kit is so unique and really stunning when assembled.  I wish I could get one for my niece she would go crazy for this.

Overall, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVED this box!  The box was perfectly curated for a Spring.  I loved the garden/floral vibe and every piece was something I will use immediately.  My dream PS collab would be with Elle Decor and I feel like this is the closest that dream may come to fulfilling.

The total retail value is $107!

    I’ve been thinking of getting a pop sugar box and this makes me want to even more. I love the little sand garden, it’s perfect for an apartment.

I’ve fully fallen into the beauty of this novel. Spread over generations, the author weaves California history into the story beautifully. I love, love, love thinking about what Monterey/Salinas was like 100 or 200 years ago. If you want a story that sucks you in from the first page, hunt down this book, “In The Land Of Plenty” by  Mary Smathers.

Good morning!!! Did anyone else grow up eating or Good morning!!! 
Did anyone else grow up eating oranges and grapefruit every morning?  My obāsan (grandma) was convinced a warm bowl of breakfast fried rice and a side of citrus would make me do better at school. 😬 I'm still not sure how that worked out. But, even after I moved out and was in beauty school and college I would go by her house in the morning for breakfast and a chat.  The smell and taste of grapefruit always bring me back to those treasured memories. 

The new Grapefruit @thelordjones Body Lotion throws me right in the middle of all those memories!  The refreshing scent gives me such nostalgia and happy feelings each morning.  I use it every morning after I meditate (a habit I recently picked up) and before I start work.  With 100mg of CBD and 2 MG per pump, it is the best way to start the day.  I don't use it on my whole body but concentrate on my neck, shoulders, and scalp. 

If you have followed along with my skincare tips over the years you know I am very picky about CBD products.  There are so many out there and I get flooded with emails to try them all.  There is really only a handful I recommend.  The Lord Jones brand is consistent for me.  I use the bath salts every night, I carry the lotion around everywhere and the gummies are my bedtime treat.  I haven't tried their skincare yet but several pieces are on my list to try this year. 

The new Lord Jones Grapefruit Hight CBD Formula lotion is available @sephora and @thelordjones websites now!

PRESS Sample -- But I do buy plenty of their products from Sephora weekly. 🙈
Virtual learning is a challenge and not something Virtual learning is a challenge and not something I was prepared for a year ago.  Over the last several months I've researched and tried so many toddler online classes.  Several were duds and a few were really standouts.  This Twinkle Toes class from @hellosawyer was the cutest and really got Olivia engaged. 
Over on the blog today, I am sharing more about the classes we took with Sawyer and how I use their new FAVORITES List to keep track of classes I think Olivia will love in the future.  Pop over and check it out!

About Me

I started Haute Beauty Guide in 2008 as a way to stay in touch with my skincare clients between appointments. At first, I only covered skincare but HBG grew with me as my life evolved— from traveling around the world, heading back to college after taking a long break, buying our first home, to getting my first gray hair! Monterey is my home and I take the lifestyle here to heart.
