Two boxes arrived in a row! yahoo.
First box

Neocell liposome Collagen+C serum -
 great stuff! texture is neither greasy nor dry. From the reviews, this stuff is potent and excellent enough to feel the effects of tightened/ skin firming and radiance in a short period of time! let's see if this stuff works...... here's the description

DGL, Now Foods, for soothing stomach irritation...................
these are lozenges and immediately upon opening, i regret big time. I thought these were pure herbs with no sugary taste etc, i wanted capsules and i got these highly sweetening lozenges. Eeew, the sweetness is unbearable and instead of soothing the stomach, i got more irritation from the sweetness of it.

Mastic gum, by Jarrow Formulas...........
for the stomach again. Stomach ulcers/ H.pylori are supposed to benefit from these...........

Marshmallow root, soothes the stomach lining.........

EO clarifying conditioner for oily hair:
Stocked up 1 bottle of non-silicone conditioner............. no cones in this one , only all goodness and natural ingredients.
There are no no-silicone conditioners in my country, if there were, they would be expensive too.

Wormwood combination:
For parasite cleansing. This is imperative for everyone and is good for detox, especially if you keep pets at home, parasite cleansing is a must!

Bought and extra bottle of Stone Free for the just-in-case days.

Freebie: 5-htp, supports good sleep and anxiety/mood disorder.

Box no. 2:

Loving brown rice milk powder....vanilla flavour. I have this everyday and no irritation/allergies from it. This is my second pack and it finishes off fast....................

Ginger organic candies. I could get it here, but it's always out of stock, so i decided to get some directly from USA. Kind of like the ginger taste minus the "hotness".

Zinc L-carnosine to soothe and protect/heal stomach lining.

Hyaluronic Acid,
 tried it today right after i tore open the box. I could feel my skin plump up in a few minutes!! or is it just my imagination??
This is great for skin! it's supposed to plump up your skin from within providing moisture, suppleness and elasticity! Good for overall joint health as well especially if you have joint pain or creaky joints.

Freebie: 1 sachet ginger tea.

Nicely wrapped in bubble wrap for more fragile items, iHerb gets all your stuff delivered in the most safest manner,!

Marine phytoplankton,
one of the most highly raved product for all time nutrition! very very high in nutritional value and supports all diseases by promoting the immune system and promoting healing.
Plus, reviews were given on how it cleared up hyperpigmentation on skin!

Skin eternal Hyaluronic Acid serum:
accidentally clicked 2 on the quantity and didn't know this until i opened the box. I was wondering why they sent me two of these.

This has the strongest most pungent scent! can cause a headache with those who have sensitive noses! but my oh my,  i used on the first night  and ,hehe, skin plumps up nicely. Kinda like these now and don't regret getting two bottles of this stuff. It works beautifully for hands too. I have dry dry dry hands and they seem to give my grandma hands and instant makeover. Feels more plumped with less dry lines. Wonder if i use it for long term, will my hands turn back to how it used to be when i was 15?

however, they do give a greasy look so i suppose i'll only use this at night. Quite happy for my first impression with the serum. I have a feeling that these might clog pores so deep pore cleansing would be necessary.

Freebie: glasses wipe cloth in white. It's so nice and white , i am hesitant to get it dusty and stained by wiping my dusty glasses with it!

No Poo update 2: success!!

Success!! I finally  made it!! finally finally finally. After approximately 3 months of struggle with grimy hair, i'm now able to be poo free. I now use just baking soda on my hair and if i'm not lazy , i'll use the vinegar as conditioner. I hardly do vinegar rinses because it is time consuming due to the fact you have to rinse rinse and rinse. And also it adds "oiliness" to my very greasy hair.

Sometimes i would use a non-SLS shampoo or shampoo bar because they are far more convenient. Just lather up and go instead of the the baking soda where you have to carefully get it into your scalp section by section to make sure the entire scalp is covered.

I would also use a non-silicone conditioner for convenience, but over here, i can't get any no-silicone conditioners, so i get mine from iHerb. (PS:  PROMOTION CODE TO GET $5 OFF: GEH463)

I'm so glad to have finally pulled through! yeah! after months of struggling with  terrible hair.

My hair now looks washed and feels and looks normal after a baking soda shampoo. I can go a day in between without having to shampoo but not when i'm majorly sweaty like after exercise or even after a day in the kitchen trying to cook.

If any Asian is trying to go no poo, even in our hot climate this is manageable. Go for it!
In any case if you want to know why i'm going no poo, check out my first post on it: shampoo-wary-noo-poo-for-your-hair

iHerb shopping experience review

Heard of iHerb.com?

They have an extensive range of health supplements and natural products ALL under 1 roof.
It's great to shop there and I have personally done all my health supplements shopping there. They even have a whole range of organic, natural skincare (yup, skin care!) and even body care products!! And all natural as can be without all those harsh chemicals, there's a wide wide range to choose from.

I am on a journey to detox my body and improve my health as i find my health deteriorating each year. I'm now slowly switching to all natural products including shampoo, skin care and body care like body moisturisers, body washes etc. And definitely health supplements! I get mine ALL there as the prices are very much cheaper and most of the items are not available in my country.

There's limited supply in my country and so I am very very very happy when i stumbled upon iHerb. What's more they have a full range of advantages that cannot be missed:
1. best overall value - really, their prices a relatively lower than other sites
2. leading brands and huge selection - yup, majority of health supplements i'm looking for, no matter niche or not, i can find it at iHerb
3. they put the expiry dates of the products up, so you can check the freshness
4. Very friendly system for ordering and no fuss at all! did not encounter any difficulties so far and all transactions are smooth.
5. Shipping - very convenient and cheap! $4 for international shipping all over the world!!!! what more can you ask for!!
6. They do have a rewards program as well.
7. Very efficient - they provide same day shipping, well almost, maybe up to 2 days.
8. Very reliable - over 16 years since 1996, iHerb has been in operation. I really like them and its my first choice for all my daily needs.

Disadvantages:
1. The only drawback is the time for the parcel to arrive. It takes up to 11-12 working days (excluding public holidays and weekends) to reach me............... very very long wait especially if I urgently need the products. You can opt for DHL which is faster but pricier. Of course, iHerb offers heavily discounted DHL shipping prices, but it's still expensive for me. I prefer the cheapest $4 for shipping.


I'll be posting up some of my hauls from iHerb so stay tuned......................... so far i've gotten a large number of supplements like liver supports ones, detoxifying ones, immune system boosters, protein drinks/powders, etc.

I've also gotten some organic/all natural skin care as i know the whatever i put on my skin will get absorbed into my system, so yeah, i've changed my entire skin care routine and products already. Learn to read the labels/ingredients list, very important! Know what you are putting into your body. You may not need to go to this extent but i have a need to because of my health. I'm on a journey to heal myself.

The Korean skin care that i've been using in the past is not to say bad, but i can't read the ingredients so it's better to leave them out. Some of them do contain the conventional parabens and other chemicals more so than the natural/organic products.

So yeah, let's go on a journey to detoxify the body! i'll post up my iHerb hauls here............. no worries.
