Look what I got in the mail in time for Valentine’s? A surprise treat from Russian Cookie House. I won in their Russian Cookie House Valentine’s Giveaway + true enough they sent me my prize on Valentine’s Day! I fell in love with the elaborate packaging comprised of a heart-shaped red box complete with a “Just for you” note, a red rose + a very beautiful brown ribbon.

Who wouldn’t fall head over heels for this beautiful packaging. The box is made of sturdy carton + I will be re-purposing it to hold some of my knick-knacks once the goodies are gone, which won’t be too long now 😀

I love the simple yet delicious taste of the white cookies {whatever you call them?} + I especially enjoyed the yummy + crunchy taste of the chocolate ones! This is something I’d enjoy long before Valentine’s is over.

Big thank you goes out to Ms. Gina of Russian Cookie House for sending the goodies promptly!

Am sharing these delectable browns to Thursday Brownies, by the way! 🙂

Earlier this month, I got an invite from Soyami for an event-and-awarding ceremony for their Snacking Without The Guilt Contest, which I joined last December {check out my entry here}. I have always enjoyed going to Soyami events {in fact, the first ever event I attended was hosted by Soyami! ^_^} not only for a chance to mingle with other mum bloggers but also to sample their tasty soya chips + my new favorite,  the Soyami Stix. I was invited once to a Soyami cooking demo + I simply loved the idea of using their chips as healthy alternative ingredient for some dishes.

Who wouldn’t love these healthy chips? They are made with real soya + are very high in protein + calcium. Apart from that, it contains no MSG + has 0 trans fat, that you can even give it to the little ones during snack time. These nacho-chip like healthy-goodness snacks also come in three different delicious flavors: Original, White Chedder + Pizza {my favorite}. + what’s even better is that Soyami teamed up with Lightwater {a no-flavoring, no-salt, no-sugar water drink} + Vit. Boost {best tasting vitamins with antioxidants}, by Suncoast, in promoting a healthy lifestyle. A perfect way to start the year right, would you agree? 🙂

I guess you can tell that I have been meaning to go to this particular event {who would ever pass on the chance to see Marc Nelson in the flesh, right? ;)} but, sadly, no one’s available to look after the little man if I do. Hopefully I will be able to make it in their future events.

Meanwhile if you want to check out Soyami goodness for yourself, you can check them out at leading supermarkets + convenient stores around the Metro. + don’t forget to like their Facebook Page + follow them on Twitter {@healthysoyami}, or visit the Soyami website, for more information on their products.
