It took me a few weeks to nail down exactly what I wanted, as I'm an indecisive type (silly Libras!). The site is loaded with healthy baking goods (like Bob's Red Mill products), gluten-free foods, bath and beauty products, and loads of vitamins and supplements. My goods came in last week. See what I found for $50:
I chose Kiss My Face Rough Thyme shower gel because I'm runnin' low on bath products, and this stuff contains scrubby bits to help exfoliate my dry, dry skin. I've been looking for raw buckwheat groats forever (to make raw cereal) but can't find them in stores here. So I was so pleased to find Bob's Red Mill Buckwheat Groats. The prices at iHerb are super low compared to what I'd pay at Whole Foods, so the Nativas Naturals Raw Cacao Powder was an amazing value. I plan to use the Amazing Grass Green SuperFood powder in place of my daily green juice when my cleanse is over. And the Now Healthy Foods Soymilk Powder will certainly find its way into homemade vegan hot cocoa mix.Now iHerb wants to give one lucky reader the same opportunity. Here's what ya gotta do: Go to iHerb.com and look around. Come back and post a comment letting me know what product or products you'd most love to score in a shopping spree. On Friday morning (Jan. 22), I'll use a random number generator to choose a winner.
To earn an extra entry, tweet about this contest and link back to my blog. Then leave another comment letting me know you tweeted.
Oh, if you don't have a way for me to contact through a blog, please leave an email address in your comment (if you write it like this — name[at]wherever[dot]com — it should save ya from spammers.
Good luck!

I would get a lot of my supplements from there including http://www.iherb.com/Gaia-Herbs-Liquid-Phyto-Caps-Thyroid-Support-Extra-Strength-60-Liquid-Filled-Capsules/15543?at=0. That would help me a lot because my supplements aren't cheap and I go through a lot a month.

iHerb rocks! I've ordered from them before and just heard that they have an affiliate program. I have a moratorium on online ordering for Jan but soon enough I know I would want to order bars since their sooo expensive and my naturopath told me to get some Silica for my hair & nails.
I would definitely get chia seeds and Amazing Grass. I live in a small town in Texas, and it's really hard to get these kinds of products locally.
I would choose chia seeds and amazing grass powder.

Dang, girl! Nice giveaway. I'm a silly Libra, too, so this was tough... :) (P.S. I love Kiss My Face products! I use their shower gels & love them!)
I'm sure I'd pick out lots of awesome stuff, but one of the big things I'd buy is some chia seeds! They're a fantastic deal on that site! I'd also like some of that Amazing Grass Green Superfood. I have looked at that at my co-op, but it's kind of expensive & I'm not sure that I'll like the taste, so I've been procrastinating.
Oh, P.S. That raw cacao powder rules. I bought some on Amazon & it's delicious.
P.P.S. I tweeted this giveaway. www.twitter.com/domesticvegan

Wow, iherb has sooo much to offer! It's ridiculously hard to pick. I think I would choose things that are much harder to find in stores (or are super expensive at tiny health food places). I would love to try the VEGA chai protein powder, Bob's Red Mill coconut flour, anything from Navitas Naturals (like the yacon syrup, goji powder, or lucuma powder), and I could also restock my manitoba hemp butter.

Dried Blueberries! I can never seem to find them in our local store. It would be an awesome family treat. http://www.iherb.com/Eden-Foods-Dried-Blueberries-Organic-4-oz-113-g/15702?at=0

What an awesome prize! I would spend it all-- and probably a little extra-- on vitamins! My kiddo doesn't like the ones I picked out for her and I could use some new ones myself. Their vitamin prices seem pretty reasonable too. I would probably also get a new face moisturizer since I'm almost out of that too. I'm sure I wouldn't have any trouble spending it!! :)
I would buy raw cacao nibs and raw cacao flour, chia seeds, hemp protein powder, amazing grass powder, lucuma powder, and, and ...

I'd like to get some cacao powder, coconut oil, and chia seeds--definite staples of mine. :) But I'd probably mix it up a bit and try something new... maybe acai berry powder. Never tried it, and I'd think it would ROCK in my smoothies! :)
