hi auntieM,


I thought I should share about what I know about vaccines. There are not as safe as we think. In fact, they are very harmful due to substances like mercury and aluminium which makes up the vaccines. We sometimes have bad reactions to these vaccines becos of these substances and of course the virus which is in the vaccines. It is especially harmful to our kids as their body and brain are still developing:

Ordered cupcakes for my girls birthday 2 weeks back from Cake Avenue. In the past we normally get whole cakes. They look really pretty but we were a tad disappointed with the taste. Or maybe all cupcakes are pretty much the same? Pretty to look at but not as tasty as cakes?

Are you looking for organic or non-organic ones? If non-organic, you can try the http://iherb.com/p/35700?rcode=yen647 ones.


I too have not been able to find affordable ones in sin. Have resorted to buying fresh organic blueberries occasionally when they are cheaper. But I must say the antioxidant level is awesome!

Hi mummies,


I just logged into my iHerb acc and if appears that they are offering free delivery for shipping via Global Mail by DHL. Not to sure yet whether it is a short promotion or a permanent feature. Let's hope it is for good. No harm making a purchase now if we need something. They seemed to have also lowered the DHL rates from $12 to $10 as a base amount. They have also introduced a new delivery option Euroasia catered for Singaporeans.

For those new to iHerb, I just wrote a detail blog entry on purchasing from them and some price comparisons. You can read about it http://wp.me/s1aTYr-469.

My elder dd used to eat really slowly. She can seat there like 2 hrs! Fainz. She also frequently complains of stomach pains. So my naturopath recommended giving her probiotics daily. After a few weeks, I can finally see light at the end of the tunnel! She started to eat better and faster. Apparently the probiotics helps to improve appetite. She no longer complains of stomach pains too. Finally we can stop wasting time on eating and spend those precious time doing something else


I give her this, in case any mummy is keen, recommended by my naturopath:

DHL: 3-4 days International airmail: 7-14days (a little longer during promo periods like when they offer foc delivery)

return policy is how stringent?
nope. just the other day, i rec some rancid organic coconut chips. i emailed them and they immediately refunded the cost of it to my credit card. you are not even expected to return the goods. best return, packing and delivery service around.

difficulty with our customs clearance?
used them for 2 yrs with no probs at all.

Hi Glade,


You should definitely consider getting yr supplements from iHerb. Local stores get their stock overseas too and charge double or more of the iHerb online retail prices. And you get fresher supplements by getting it directly from States. You have no idea how long the supplements have been sitting in the local stores before you purchase them. Supplements which has gone rancid would be a total waste of money. iHerb turnover is pretty high. I also love that they display the expiry dates of each supplement online unlike some other sites.

iHerb is running a 10% discount on all items (for purchases $60 & above). They dun run this straight off 10% discount too often. Maybe once a yr only. This is a great time to buy. But do it by 30 Sept USA time ya.

And actually, you can get $10 off for any first-time purchase of $40 or more if you have a discount code. Up from the usual $5. You can use mine if you wish: YEN647.

Feel free to PM or post questions on this forum if you have any other qns, am sure all the mummies here which are iHerb fans will be happy to help

vfong1:

Should fish oil be taken in the morning or in the night?

I would take it in the morning and if u take probiotics at night before bed.

imama:

Hi yeng, just wondering if you have ever encountered missing parcels from iHerb? My order was shipped out on 23 Aug and I have yet to receive it to date!

Hihi, I have not personally but I know of one lady from another forum who had experienced that. 23 Aug is a non-promo period I believe? That is more than a month since u placed that order. Oh dear. Really pray that it is just a delay. So sorry dear, not much help I know.

Mummies!
