iHerb.com Singapore, Eurasia Express, Now Joint Support Powder & Avalon Organics CoQ10 Wrinkle Defense Serum Reviews

I'm a big iherb.com fan now!!! 

Use my code VEW578 or click here to enjoy a 5USD off for purchases below 40USD and for purchases above 40USD, you'll get an instant discount of 10USD!

I tried their Eurasia Express Shipping which was made free in October 2011 for purchase of 60USD and above and was smiling broadly when my purchases arrive. It took them a mere 7 days to have my items delivered into my hands. And this is inclusive of the weekends too. I'm impressed and delighted! =))

I bought 6 items back then and 1 of them was the Avalon Organics CoQ1O Wrinkle Defense Serum which was disappointing. I expected to see visible results but none whatsoever. However, my facial lady and her staff did comment that my eyes look better and it might just be this serum...

The good thing was that the serum is non greasy and it's good for a base to pile on other eye creams.

The Avalon Organics Eye Serum also comes in a pump bottle and it can be a little messy on the caps. You can see the white serum on the inside of my bottle cap above.

Now, I'm on the hunt of a more effective anti-wrinkle eye product. Do recommend me if you know of one.

Another new product I tried this round was the Now Joint Support Powder. I got 1 for bf since he has knee problems and this product had a better value than Viatril-S. But boy, the smell is a killer... It has a a strong shellfish smell that cannot be masked even when I put it into my fruit juice. :(

We can't tell whether it works because it's such a drag to take it on a consistent basis. :P

The cute thing about iHerb.com is they give away free samples or freebies with every purchase. Lately, I've been receiving stationery and it's cute. That's a pen and a highlighter above.

I've shopped with them 8 times and have never encountered missing parcel.

iHerb.com Promotions & Reviews

In addition to the existing promotion where first time buyers get a 5USD off when using a member's code on iHerb.com and that member earns a 4% of commission of the purchase, iHerb.com has another promotion! 

From now until 17 August 2011, there's free postage for purchases of 40USD and above as long as the weight doesn't exceed 1800g.

Just last week, I received some unexpected free samples from the generous people from iHerb.com. What a pleasant surprise!

It consists of the following:

- 1 box of 25 bags of organic Mandarin Orange Green Tea

- 1 Strawberry Champagne Lip Balm

- 1 tin of Natural Stress Relief Rescue Pastilles in black current flavour

- 1 sachet of Cafe Cordyceps

After dinner, we tried the Mandarin Orange Green Tea and it was simply lovely. It has a tinge of vanilla mixed with mild orange smell to me and the taste of the orange rolls in your mouth as I sip the warm tea. I really love the smell of the warm tea when I brought the cup up to sip.

It was also the first time I came across stress relief sweets and it tasted nice! I don't know whether it worked as I wasn't feeling particularly stressed out after dinner, hehe... I'll definitely keep this tin close by for stressful emergencies. Maybe the sucking action of the pastilles is enough to focus your mind a little off your problems. Who knows? ;)

The Strawberry Champange is divine. It tasted really heavenly with the mild strawberry smell and the texture wasn't too oily or waxy. Besides days of needs, I'll use this every night so that I can be reminded of strawberry fields before I sleep. Ah... what bliss! =)

iHerb.com Website Review: Quality, Low Priced & Reliable Health Supplements Online Website

I've never tried buying health supplements online until 2 months back. iHerb.com was introduced by a Korean friend who uses it regularly and a stranger who recommended the natural herbs website in a forum I frequent.

So, I casually surfed the website and realised iHerb.com has a very wide range of heath supplements for both health and beauty needs.  A Vitamin B&C supplement that suits mine and bf's needs caught my eyes: 

::Stress Relief:: 

It was priced at a very value rate of 10.92USD and had many good reviews! So, I click on the "buy" button and opted for normal international airmail.Not knowing whether the website was reliable or not back then, I   didn't want to pay extra for UPS postage. The normal international airmail cost is very low and seem like a lower risk at 4USD only.

You may be surprised to know iHerb.com has tracking service for USA, Japan & Korea so I guess their business is huge!

I've been taking Hi-Stress B&C and would say that it helps for me. I don't feel so lethargic if I start my day with 2 tablets of this.

They even gave me a free sachet of Cococeps with my purchase.

The only drawback  with iHerb.com is that using the normal international airmail took the product more than 2 weeks to reach me here in Singapore.

But it's not a big issue 'coz I'll simply opt for UPS mailing in future. I've decided to just buy most of my health supplements from iHerb.com now if they're cheaper. I'm sure it'll be more value to use UPS the more I buy each time.

Pros
-Low Priced
-Wide Range of Health Supplements
-Quality
-Reliable Website
-Stock Status
-Free Sample
-Loyalty Program

A Cure For Sore Throat?

As advised, I went to buy a coconut to drink as it's supposedly cooling and cures sore throats.

I was in a rush and had to balance the big coconut all the way out of the shopping mall into the car.

And it tasted yucks! Now, I remember why I dislike coconut juice so. The after taste is very similar to yam. Nonetheless, I forced half of it down my throat.

My throat feels better this morning. I'm not sure whether it's because I've just completed my course of antibiotics or because of the wondrous coconut juice.

No harm giving the yam-like tasting coconut juice a try if you have sore throat! ;)

I Am So Sick Of Being Sick!

I have been falling sick on a monthly basis since Jan 2010.

It seems like my immunity is really weak. Every time the babies or someone close to me is sick, I'll bound to get it too.

I am SO sick of being sick... I just recovered from my high fever and was unable to work today. It's so tiring to be sick.

Besides exercising and taking multi-vitamins, how else can I boost my immunity?
