The Spice is Right Contest Winner Runner-UP = ME!

Merry Christmas to me!

Last I posted, I had entered myself into the Mambo Sprouts The Spice is Right Giveaway.  I regularly checked back at the website to see if they had drawn the winners, and then in early December I received an email from the Mambo Sprouts marketing team indicating that I was a runner-up and would be receiving a 10-item sampler set.  SWEET!  Who doesn't love free stuff, and who doesn't love GOOD free stuff?  I sure do.  I happily received my package prior to leaving for the holidays and was so jazzed.  Here's what was in my stash:

from L to R:
peppermint flavor, vanilla bean, almond extract, cardamom seed,
lemon peel, cinnamon, ground cloves,  nutmeg, and ginger (not pictured: vanilla extract)

I even received a set of coupons, which I'll be sure to take advantage of.  The paper in the picture might look a bit disheveled--I believe an item or two tarnished the final package I received, but the coupons are still definitely useable!

This nourishing newbie also received an ice cream maker from Santa, so the vanilla bean came in just the (St.) 'nick of time.  Can't wait to share more nourishing tips with you all in 2011.

Happy New Year!
