My new favourite online shop!

This post is about my second order.
As I am writing this post my 3rd order is on it's way.. :P

There's so much I want to rave about this shop and no this is not a paid/sponsored post, however if you use the coupon code that I will be providing I do get some form of rewards. The coupon code TBC541 gives you discount of up to $10.00 off your first order!


My current favourite online shop is the awesome iherb.com!


Located in the US however not to worry cause shipping to SG is actually quite affordable!

I paid USD4 for shipping this big box of items!
Really affordable right?
It's even cheaper than most door-to-door courier in SG!

Only USD4 you must be thinking the delivery confirm took very long and there's no tracking right?
Sorry to break it to you.. It took less than a week for these lovelies to be delivered to my doorstep!
and tracking code is available once they shipped out. Having a tracking code that I can track online is very helpful! I can keep checking on the status so I would roughly know when to be home for delivery!

Ordered on 28th Feb.
Shipped out on 2nd March.
Arrived at my house on 5th March!


Next I want to talk about their products. :D

If you have walked into any of those "health shops" or shops selling organic stuffs you will know that these imported organic items are usually very pricey. After the birth of my cutie pie, I start to be more wary of the items I am using on/around or giving to my child. I cut down on processed food and try to give her as much fresh food as possible. Toddler snacks / kids safe cleansers are either too expensive or difficult to find in Singapore, so when I found this online shop it's like finding gold!



This is my 2nd order. I will roughly describe the items I bought and why I bought them.
The reason why I don't want to talk about the first order it's because it's mainly essential oil and I don't want to talk about EOs. So yups here goes.. :D



BabyGanics, The Grime Fighter, All-Purpose Cleaner, Lavender, 32 fl oz (946 ml) (Discontinued Item)

I bought this product when my cutie pie had a bit of eczema and I wanted something good, safe and non toxic to clean the house and when I saw the last bottle at kiddy palace, I bought it. Halfway through the bottle I find that it's very helpful in cleaning up messes and I use it all the time to clean toys, floor, tables, her play area and even walls! Unfortunately after that bottle I can't find this exact same product all over SG anymore. :( When I saw that iherb is selling this I order it immediately! After they send out my order the product is discontinued! Now I'm down to this last bottle I hope it can last me long enough till I find another good product.

Price wise on herb it's less than S$10 (SGD6.99) but when I bought at kiddy palace it cost me around $17+-.

Sierra Bees, Organic Lip Balms, Variety Pack, 3 Pack, 0.15 oz Each

I bought this under the product trial and this pack of 3 only cost me USD1 ! If I didn't remember wrongly 1 piece cost around $4 in SG shops! iherb have this product trial listing page that with every order you can purchase 1 product trial item. Some items are tester size, some are full retail sizes, example there's a tea sample pack that has 3 different tea bags and that only cost $0.10, then there's this pack of 2 facial mask sheets for only $0.50.

Method, Glass + Surface, Natural Glass Cleaner, Mint, 28 fl oz (828 ml)

Bought this to try out cause I have some dirty windows and Mirrors at home. :P
Cost S$6.95 on local website, on iherb it's USD3.82 (approx SGD5.29).
Used it almost immediately and I love it. It cleans well and the minty smell is quite refreshing too.

ATTITUDE, Floor Surfaces, Tiles & Wood Cleaner, Citrus Zest, 35.2 fl oz (1.04 L)

Bought this to try out mainly because I have wooden floors at home and this cleaner is suitable for both tiles and wood. I wouldn't recommend to purchase this from iherb though cause I just found out that it's cheaper in some of the online shops in SG. Googled and there are shops selling this at SGD7.50 (not including postage though) and I paid ard SGD8+ (after discount).

Peanut Butter & Co., Smooth Operator, Creamy Peanut Butter, 16 oz (454 g)

I love peanut butter and saw a friend instagram-ed this so I bought it. Love it! :D
Comparing to my usual peanut butter this one feels less sweet (I could eat a huge spoonful of it on a slice of bread and not feel like it's sinful or what.. Price wise it's slightly more expensive than my usual peanut butter but I feel that it's still quite worth it. :D

Earth Mama Angel Baby, Organic Milkmaid Tea, Fragrant Fennel Herb, Caffeine Free, 16 Tea Bags, 1.23 oz (35 g)

Recently decide to re-lactate so decide to purchase this to try. Most SG shops selling at around $7.90-$12.50 per box! It's only around SGD6.91 on iherb and currently for Earth Mama Angle Baby products they have this volume discount, like if you purchase 2 for 10% discount, purchase 4 for 12% discount or if you are drinking it very often or you want to share the already super low shipping with other mummies you can purchase 12 boxes for 15% discount!

---

Chocolove, Almonds & Sea Salt in Dark Chocolate, 3.2 oz (90 g)

I bought this as a gift for my husband but I got a bite and I love it! It's not sweet, not really bitter and not very salty, somehow just perfect for me. I love it and would probably purchase it again with my 4th order?

Those who knows me, knows that I'm a sucker for free gifts and so far with every order from iherb, they will include a little gift with the order. For my first order they gave me a letter opener, for this second order they gave me a bookmark that can be used as a ruler. Can't wait to see what they are giving me for my next order. :P


Just a reminder if you are a new customer, do remember to use this coupon code TBC541 to get your discount! You will save USD5 on your first iHerb order (regardless of order amount!)
If your order totals $40 or more, you will save USD10! and if you purchase above $40 you will get an additional 5% discount on top of the USD10 off!


Enjoy shopping! :D
