It's Christmas!

Published: Jul 30, 2013 · Modified: Dec 30, 2015 by Rebecca Pytell · This post may contain affiliate links.

Don't you always feel like it is Christmas when you get a package in the mail. I do, I love placing orders online and then checking the mail each day until it arrives. Well I placed a much needed order on iHerb.com on Thursday and the order would  have come the day after Friday but it was the weekend so I sadly had to wait until Monday. Well it arrived yesterday and I was so happy! Yay! I am pretty sure iHerb had been getting tons of business lately since they have been out of a lot of my staples for quiet a few weeks now. However, I was able to order a few things I need and some need to me products I have been dying to try!

iHerb Haul

So here is a closer look at what I got in my latest iHerb order:

 New to me: Protein Plus, Roasted All Natural Peanut Flour

New to me: (So excited to try. I just need to get some loose leaf tea now!) Just a Leaf Organic Tea, Tea Infuser, Glass Tea Cup with Strainer, 8 oz Tea Glass

IMG_4443

 New to me: St. Dalfour, Organic, Ceylon Vanilla Tea

IMG_4438

(I am drinking this as I type this blog post and it is so good! It's light and sweet, a traditional classic tea taste.)

Erewhon, Crispy Brown Rice, No Salt Added

IMG_4430

 Now Foods, Real Food, Raw Pumpkin Seeds, Unsalted

IMG_4439

 Now Foods, Real Food, Raw Pecans, Halves & Pieces, Unsalted

IMG_4440

New to me: New York Superfoods, Inc., Chia Peanut Butter, Gator Grit (Smooth Peanut Butter)

IMG_4437

(This is such a cute 2oz sample! I love that I was able to buy a cheap sample instead of investing in something I may not like (unlike my Nuttzo flop. My mom ordered the Red Label Nuttzo for my birthday and it was...terrible and made me feel nauseous. I was so disappointed; I had looked forward to trying it for weeks! I wish I could have tried it before hand. But I am also mad since I think I would have liked the Blue label better (the Pumpkin Seed taste was way overpowering in the Red Label). I have never heard someone not like Nuttzo so I really want to be able to redeem them and like the Blue Label, but I don;t know if my mom will go with buying it again. One day...)

Simply Organic, Turmeric

IMG_4435

A fun Freebie: Sierra Bees, Organic Cocoa Butter Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin E

IMG_4436

(Interested in iHerb? Use my coupon code, KNT152, for $10 off your first purchase of $40 or more OR $5 off your first order of less than $40! You can also see and click on my side bar widget.)

So I am a happy girl! I can not wait to try some of the other new products! I hate online shopping for clothes and shoes because the things never fit...ever. Does anyone else have that problem cause it seems like a lot of people don't (not fair, haha!) But I love online food shopping since my local grocery store kinda sucks for specialty foods. I already have an order ready on Vitacost.com waiting to be checked out haha!

IMG_4445ip

So anyway, yesterday I posted about my new bike and today I went out and took some of my own pictures, got the seat adjusted (why do they make bike seat so hard! I bought a seat cushion, I just didn't put it on yet. But you would think by now they would just make the seats more user friendly and comfy...it is 2013 right?), and I tested it out ona quick run. It seems good so fingers crossed I will like it when I go out on my first ride!

IMG_4446

I like the purple and white. Simple, not to flashy or girly, perfect!

IMG_4449

Well that's all I have today! I hope your Tuesday is treating you well! See you tomorrow!

Do you like ordering stuff online? like I said I like ordering food but...that's it, haha!

Do you like Nuttzo? Am I the only person who had a bad experience with it?

O ya, and do you use Peanut Flour? If so how? I think i will try it in smoothies and the new Quinoa Flakes I bought to try to replace my oats!

    Oh I love getting packages in the mail - I'm like you, it always feels like Christmas when they come and I excitedly tear open the packaging. Jesse will try and open my packages if I'm busy working which is totally evil as it means I miss out on all the unwrapping joy haha.

    I love the Madre Bees Lipgloss and I have that exact one too!

    As for peanut flour, I'm obsessed - as you can probably tell as it features in so many of our recipes! iHerb is my favourite online shop - but I also now order online at Victoria's Secret and jewellry stores in the US and have my MIL mail it over. The jewellry purchases are the most nerve racking but the choice in the US is so much better than here in Australia!

    I've never tried Nutzo but I'm totally steering clear of the red label now ;P

      Haha, o that red label :P. How do you store your peanut flour once you open it? I usually put my flours in the freezer, but I think I will be using this one more frequently. Would the refrigerator be a good idea?
