POPSUGAR Must Have Box | December 2014

December 10, 2014 by Hillary 3 Comments

Don’t miss the GIVEAWAY! Thank you for your support!

* * *

I had a fun surprise show up at my door early this month – the December POPSUGAR Must Have Box! It was as if Christmas came a few weeks early.

As a POPSUGAR Fitness Blogger, I enjoy working with PS on various projects, so I was excited when they offered to send a Must Have Box my way. (And, as you may know from my Weekly Workouts posts, I am also a fan of POPSUGAR workouts!)

Subscription boxes are quite the “in thing.” Unlike most subscription gift boxes, however, POPSUGAR boxes are packed with full-sized products. PS Editors hand-select the best items in fashion, beauty, food, fitness, entertainment, home, and more. At only $39.95 per box, you really get an amazing value for high quality products.

Inside the December 2014 POPSUGAR Must Have Box

SPUN by Subtle Luxury Speckled Metallic Scarf | $62

My favorite item of the entire box – I can’t wait to dazzle up simple winter outfits with a bit of gold sparkle. I appreciate that there’s a lot of fabric to go around.

Sparklepop Sydney Necklace | $42

Not necessarily my style at first sight, but I do like the surprisingly long length. Would work as an easy accessory for a holiday dress. 18K gold-plated.

Canvas Dauville Platinum Bowl | $29

Could sit subtlety on a dresser to hold jewelry or a watch. Hand-painted platinum interior.

Smashbox Be Legendary Long-Wear Lip Lacquer | $24

I’m not sure how I feel about long-wear lip lacquer (they are not kidding when they say it lasts a while!), but the dark, rich color is certainly winter party appropriate.

Knot & Bow Parcel Tags | $4

Cute, crafty, classy. Not sure when I’ll use them, but not a bad thing to have around.

Williams-Sonoma Cupcake Mix in Vanilla Bean | $14.95

It’s no surprise that I’m not a boxed mix kind of a girl, but I could see how someone could dress up this simple vanilla bean mix for a winter celebration. Williams-Sonoma is a favorite of mine for sure though.

Seeing as that it’s the holiday season and all, there is a Special Edition Holiday Box for Her and for him, but boxes make wonderful surprise gifts all year round.

If you want in on the Must Have Box action, use the code DEC14SELECT to save $10 on a 3-month subscription. Expires January 2, 2015.

Disclosure: 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. This is not a sponsored post.

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of a pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
