Human Nature Mineral ColorCreme Lipstick in Coral Charm

When we went to Human Nature concept store in Pasig a few weeks ago, I grabbed some of their new products - sunblock and this new colorcreme lipstick (Php295)

I haven't changed my lipstick ever since I discovered that their sweet nectar shade suits me very well.

I noticed that the corals or pinkish nude shade looks great on me.

100% Natural :)

Bottom - "Coral Charm" LipCreme,  Up - "Sweet Nectar" Lipstick

They look almost the same but a closer look at the coral charm seems it is more pinkish.

The coverage is amazing, even though I have pigmented lips the color still shows and no need for a lip concealer. It also glides smoothly and has a shiny/glossy finish, makes my lips look soft and moisturized.  aylabit! 

This is the same lipstick I used at my friend's wedding and this is now my new everyday lipstick :)

Shop for a Cause

I already started wrapping Christmas gifts last month.

Last year, I shopped up to the last minute! So this time, I am feeling organized and started shopping early.

In case you still need to buy gifts, consider shopping for a cause :)

I already bought some of my gifts from Domesticity .

I still need to buy some of my gifts and personal stash from Human Nature. 

DECEMBER 7: Goodness Rising Launch

10AM and 2PM, Human Nature Flagship Store in Commonwealth 

To launch the Goodness Rising project, on this day, 100% of the profits from the sales of all Human Nature products will fund the building of the Human Nature GK Village.

via

There are many shops out there that we can support because part of their sales will go to the victims of typhoon or will help the marginalized sector.

 December is the busiest and stressful month for me for the past years as there are meetups to attend, mall/bazaar hopping for gifts, year end deadlines, traffic etc., so I have to think of ways to eliminate stress such as preparing gifts early, buying online if possible, have something to read during traffic /waiting lines, enjoy Christmas treats and sweets while being conscious; in other words, "Don't sweat it!", after all that is the fun of Christmas rush ^_^

 In other news, showbizbalita, how sad that one of our fave movies Fast and Furious star passed away after a charity event for our country (hmmm what will happen to Fast7? T_T )

 Life is indeed fragile and we must live every moment of it...

Cafe De Sug, Kape Maria

 Though I'm trying not to drink coffee, because it inhibits iron absorption, which is not good for my iron deficiency problem, I think sipping half a cup every morning is not that bad ;p

I bought these coffees together with my HumanNature goodies, the last time we went in their main branch.

They costs Php295 each but because I have discounts I only got them for less Php250 if i remember.

They come with really great packaging which is nice when you're giving them out as gifts.

Cafe De Sug

I loved the quirky notes on their packaging.

"Mulat Magdamag" - :)

 We were expecting it to taste bold and strong but, compared to Folgers, it was not.

I'm thinking maybe we should brew it longer but I don't know how to do it in a drip coffee maker. Maybe boiling it with water and then filter the coffee beans afterwards is worth a try.

"Café de Sug is a social enterprise founded by Xilca Alvarez with the vision of providing a sustainable means of livelihood for farmers in Sulu. They hope to bring a radical change in our perception of Sulu, while uplifting young minds from the trauma of war, one cup at a time."

KAPE MARIA

We tried the Sierra Madre Organika Blend. It is more powderized/ground compared to Cafe De Sug.  

It is brown in color when brewed. I think I like this better bec it taste stronger than Cafe de Sug. 

I love the simplicity, eco-look of the packaging

"Kape Maria is a social enterprise founded by Julia Sevilla that believes in cultivating our local coffee industry through fair trade practices. With every cup you drink, you're not only supporting our local coffee farmers and roasters so that they receive fair wages – you’re uplifting our entire coffee industry! So drink up!"

It feels good to wake up in the morning with coffee aroma filling up the room and at the same time helping the farmers community (^_^)

Enchanted Farm Cafe

I finally visited the new Human Heart Nature store in commonwealth when I replenished my stocks.

They have new products! Dishwashing Liquid , Detergent liquid and for our furry friend - All Natural Dog Shampoo- brilliant!

Located at the second floor of the same building is the Enchanted Farm Cafe. 

They serve foods that are naturally grown produce from GK Enchanted Farms.  Check out their menu here

Products from their partner social enterprises are also available.

We're not yet hungry that time so I just bought Sabanoffee Pie. Yep they used "saba" :)

infairness masarap siya!

wooden interior

  I also bought their "Golden Eggs" (salted duck eggs) and served it one morning with tomatoes and lettuce.

 25/pc, 140/half dozen

 It is not very salty compared to the "red" salted egg we've grown to know.   It is not very obvious in the photo above but is yellow/gold in color because of turmeric. 

From the flyer: "Social Impact: Golden Eggs create a steady source of income for duck farmers. We work closely with GK Enchanted Farm in Bulacan, employing GK Beneficiaries and sharing 30% of the profits to the Filipino NGO."

Eco-Friendly Gifts

I'm supposed to share this before Christmas :/ but then if you like to give eco-friendly gifts, not only for holidays, hope this helps. ^_^

I bought some of my Christmas gifts from Human Nature and Gkonomics

via

HumanNature also sell wrappers thus making it hassle free to give goodness gifts. :)

I did a bit of craft for my Gkonomics gifts , I wrapped them in a brown bag wrapper (reused from grocery bags) and added HeyKessy washi tapes I won from Etallasa. 

eco friendly ang peg!

I forgot to take a photo before I wrapped the silver wristlet, the photo above is the silver clutch. They are made from recycled doy packs (amazing!) and the quality is good!  Check out their products here. 

I hope to discover more eco-friendly and locally available products  from social enterprises and give them as gifts. By supporting these social enterprises, we help in sustaining a livelihood for their partner communities. :)

"When Human Nature was born in 2008, we envisioned it to flourish as one of 

the country's leading social enterprises. This meant our primary goal would be to use business 

to build a better Filipino society, especially for the poor, by operating a sustainable business that primarily benefited our country. We founded the company on three core principles; 

to be Pro-Philippines, Pro-Poor and Pro-Environment." - from HumanNature website

"GKonomics is building a new generation of producers.

Our mission is to build a culture of productivity in GK communities by helping build social enterprises that will make the Philippines a country of world-class products and services that does not leave the poor behind." - from Gkonomics fb page

A trip to HumanNature Cainta Store

I wasn't able to attend the opening of new HHN QC concept store because of busy sched ;(
I really hope to visit them soon and also try Enchanted Farm Cafe's organic and healthy food.


So today, after lunch, we went to Human Nature Cainta store (nearest HHN store in our place) to replenish daily HHN product - facial wash and pressed powder. ^_^ 


Our first time at Rublou Market Place, didn't know there were lot of stores,restaurants to try in that area. (next time)


Lookie! affordable delivery fee if you're near the area. 

I would really recommend availing of delivery service, traffic is really, really bad currently along Ortigas Extension because of some major road repairs.

But here's a map if you like to visit. If coming from Ortigas CBD, after you pass by Robinsons Cainta, Rublou Marketplace  is on the left side.

Meanwhile, blogger Ruthilicious is having an awesome giveaway where she will be giving away Human Nature gift pack, 3 Theo and Philo Chocolates, 3 bottles of Enchantea, 1 pack of Sulu coffee 6 pack of Golden Eggs salted eggs. ^_^ Join her giveaway here (Ends April 6 noon) Share this giveaway to your friends too!

Human Nature Shampoo with CreamFoam Technology

It took me ages to post another HumanNature product review :/
I just wanted to try both variant of their natural shampoo w/ Creamfoam technology before sharing their goodness.


Here's for a scare =P
Me and my long hair (+ mike's phone)

Meanwhile, here's my simple look for my date with mike last week  (photo below not above =p)

I already emptied the moisturizing shampoo and currently using their strengthening shampoo.
The strengthening shampoo has strong scent as compared to the other (which I like because it stays on)


Consistency is not that thick as compared to other brands. I prefer their dispenser type container before for the shampoo and bodywash. Plus, the clear container is somewhat helpful as just one look on it you'll know if you're half way thru the bottle.


First of, I don't have that perfect 3D, shiny, straight tv commercial hair. I stopped going to salon and shy away from chemical treatment for like, 4 years now. I wear it in ponytail every now and then so there's a visible 'body'. I love that the HumanNature shampoo makes it soft, manageable and not frizzy. It looks straight naturally and shiny.


I super recommend these gentle and mild shampoos especially after you have your hair styled or treated from the salon. (it will not make your hair buhaghag =D)

100% toxin-free!!!

Affordably priced at: 

50ml = Php44.75

200ml =Php134.75

500ml =Php289.75
