The first Must Have box of 2013 arrived today! I was notified two days prior via email, which is great because then I sit here in anticipation of the arrival of the box. When it arrived, I noticed right away that it was a bit larger than previous boxes. Once I opened it up, I knew exactly why.
The bulk of the box is due to the 65 cm stability ball from Merrithew. I already own an exercise ball like this and hardly ever use it. However, mine is a different brand, and I don’t know if there’s a reason why this particular ball is “The Professional’s Choice.” I’ll have to test it out and see if there’s a difference! Hopefully the 65 cm one is the right size for the exercises in the workout included in the box.

Must Have Food * Popbar Hot Chocolate on a Stick * Jet-Puffed Vanilla Mallow BitsExtras * Think Thin Bars * Casetagram
I don’t like the contents of this box as much as previous months. Perhaps it’s the abundance of snack items when the only one I’d enjoy are those Popbars?
While I AM getting the value as promised, this month’s items are not as appealing/useful to me. The Remix TimeBomb watch is neat, but I don’t really wear watches. You can create cases for your gadgets with your Instagram and Facebook photos using Casetagram. The gift certificate is a $15 discount on any of the cases they make. Unfortunately, I don’t own any of the gadgets on their list, and $15 off doesn’t put a big enough dent for me to order a case for someone else. Glad it’s an extra, rather than something that counts towards the box.
I am pretty excited about the lip balm from Epicuren though. In the December Luxury box, there was a lotion from Epicuren that I fell in love with. I use it EVERY day!
PopSugar is an online lifestyle brand targeting women between the ages of 18 and 39. The Must Have box curated by its editors really struck a chord with me.
