POPSUGAR Must Have Box. Get good things in your mailbox.

Hi friends.
We are currently in the process of moving.  Again.
This year has been a crazy town mash up of remodeling, graduating, selling, moving, looking, job-hunting, travelling and moving.  Again.
There have been numerous trips to the Goodwill, tons of full recycling bins and more cardboard boxes than I can count.
"I am SO sick of boxes", is a phrase most definitely uttered from my lips.

But 'Moving Sucks' is an old story that everyone knows.
So instead let me tell you about a box of awesomeness.

Box of Awesomeness.

Between all of those endless cardboard boxes, this was a box I was happy to see.
This is a POPSUGAR Must Have Box.
This is a box of goodness.

Let's open it together.

Hi DIY Box?!  Seriously.  I am on a mission right now to clear out my cardboard and start on the swirling mecca of DIY projects I have planned.  The Cyclist thinks I'm nuts.  I probably am.
However, I have a design bug itching and I'm going to scratch it.
It could potentially end in disaster.

Or maybe not, now that I have this book to help me!

A Shoptiques gift card.  Sweet. Shoptiques is a collection of boutique items from around the globe.






A fancy Reed Diffuser from Barr-Co.

The scent is a combination of milk, oatmeal, vanilla and vetiver.  To be honest I can't tell yet if I really love it or really don't love it.  I'm on the fence.  The scent is real though, we moved it from this table to our mantle.  I was surprised how fragrant it got so quickly.

Treats!  Of course I like food in the mail. It would be wrong if I didn't.

Super cute paper coasters from Rifle Paper Co.!

And last but not least......

Kitsch Headbands.  I'm really hoping these don't sproing off of my head.  Don't laugh.  I can hear you! I have a cone-head or something because these things usually go flying off like a sling-shot.  It is good for a laugh though.  At my expense of course.

SO!  Thank goodness for one cardboard box of fun stuff this week!  I may have gone cray without it.
You can get your box of awesome stuff here.  At $35/mo this is a super deal - based on my calculations the goods shown here would retail at over $120.  This would make a great gift too!

Thanks for opening with me.  Now I will return to my house of boring cardboard boxes, so many in fact, that my evening is filled with multiple trips to the recycling center.

****OH. MY. GOSH!!****
All of this moving has apparently really gone to my head because I totally forgot to give you the coupon code for your very own must have box when I originally posted this!  Here you go:

Cool Thing Friday - Rent the Runway

Not.  Even.  Kidding.

I first told you about Rent the Runway here, though at that point I had no occasion to try it myself yet.

Enter my dad's wedding for which I was asked to wear red, with whatever shoes I wanted.
Seems pretty easy right?  I even created a Pinterest Board to help myself out.
Alas, I was still having trouble.  And then I remembered Rent the Runway.

Here's the scoop:

• Choose a designer gown to rent at a reasonable price.
• RTR will ship you TWO sizes.
• Ship the dress to your location.
• Wear the dress.
• Send it back.

DONE!

This was honestly such a great service.  The website is user friendly and filled with reviews from real women who have rented and worn the dresses.  Most reviews include the ladies height (and sometimes weight) and what size they wore.

I was a little leery of my plan to use RTR for a wedding.....I didn't have a back-up dress.  My RTR dress arrived the day before the wedding, which was in another state.  But in the end, I just went for it and it was so worth it.  I didn't have to cart the dress around with me in the car.  Both sizes arrived beautifully packaged in a garment bag (which I got to keep) along with some bath samples.  The dresses were returned in a UPS envelope that was provided.  RTR also sent e-mail reminders before the event, when the dresses were shipped and reminders to return them.

SO.  If you have an event - including a wedding of your own (this would seriously be so awesome for bridesmaids!!), I highly recommend RTR!  Oh, and did I mention you can also rent jewelry chosen by a stylist? And now I see RTR is also doing Halloween costumes!

BTW - this is not a sponsored post.  I paid for the dress for myself and I'm just sharing the goodness of my experience with y'all.

Happy Cool Thing Friday!!

P.S.  I kicked another item off of my bucket list with this wedding!

#9 Give Away the Groom

Congratulations Dad & Tracy!!
