PopSugar for September is all about doing it yourself, whether that means starting a new project making something for your or a friend, beautifying your home, or tackling an endurance workout. Style is on our minds as our team takes on yet another Fashion Week, but we’re also focusing on our homes as we look ahead to the chillier months.

MUST HAVE HOME

Barr-Co. Original Scent Reed Diffuser ~ Fresh, clean, and beautifully designed, this diffuser will make a gorgeous addition to your home. The scent is a blend of milk, oatmeal, and vetiver. SMELLS AMAZING!

Rifle Paper Co. Coaster Set ~ Add a touch of floral to your living room with this set of floral coasters. We just love this colorful, delicate, and girlie design that will keep your table protected time and time again.

This are beautiful, but not my thing. Will make a perfect gift! 🙂

(Not pictured) $25 Gift card to Shoptiques. An online shop where you can find amazing boutiques from all around the world in once place. I found a lot of beautiful, but pricey items that are surely on my wishlist. 🙂

MUST HAVE BEAUTY

Kitsch Headbands ~ These headbands will be kind to your hair and look cute, too!  YaY a bigger size finally! I can’t get the small ones to work in my uber thick hair.

MUST HAVE FOOD

That’s It. Bar ~ Check out the ingredient list on these fruit bars. That’s right – the only ingredients are fruit and fruit!  This bar is Apple/Mango

MUST HAVE FITNESS

Sharkies ~ For a quick energy boost before or during workouts, we’ve been snacking on Sharkies. These electrolyte chews are made from organic ingredients.  I got watermelon scream.

This isn’t one of my favorite PopSugar boxes, but hey, they can’t all be perfect. I love the diffuser (retailes $45) the headbands and snacks. I’ll hopefully be able to find something on Shoptiques as well. They do have a SALE section. 🙂

I personally paid $35 for this box and the retail value is around $115. NOT BAD! If you want your own PopSugar <– click here. Don’t forget to use REFER5 to get $5 off your first box!

I remember when I first started getting Bulu Box. It was one of my first subs. I was always so excited to see the orange box in my mail. Not so much now. The boxes used to be STUFFED with awesome products, now… Not so much.

Super excited that I got my Ipsy bag today! This month’s theme is “Classic Beauty”. The bag itself is a STURDY dark  blue with  black flowers. I have to say, so far I haven’t had a bad bag. They have all been great quality bags and I can use and use and stuff with ummm stuff. 🙂

As you know Ipsy is curated by Michelle Phan. She recently launched her own make up line EM. She gave us a little bonus this month. It’s a picture of her “Life Palette” BUT at the bottom is a sample of blush and eye shadows for us to try.

Sorry for the picture quality. This was a last minute decision to take a picture of this and do to a sleeping boyfriend I couldn’t turn the light on brighter. 🙂
