Human Nature

I've read about Human Nature in some fashion blogs I hopped on last Friday.  The company claims that the ingredients they use in their products are biodegradable, at least 95% natural, and come from renewable resource (no petroleum compound).  For me, who has sensitive skin, this is good news!  So I ordered a few just to give it a try.  

I purchased the products pictured above through their website last Friday afternoon. It was shipped almost instantly after paying thru paypal.  They also accept payment through g-cash (wallet to wallet), bank deposit, and credit card.  They emailed me that the package will arrive a day or 2 after the shipment notification.  And true enough, I received the package yesterday (Saturday) morning.  That was less than 24 hours!  Kudos Human Nature and LBC for a very efficient service!

As for the products,  they came sealed and wrapped in a very nice brown box.  The products' packaging materials are also unbelievably beautiful considering the products' prices.  I tried the baby wash and the sunflower beauty oil instantly on my little one's bottom because he has a diaper rash.  His rash is a lot paler now and he no longer reach for it to scratch.  The deet-free bug shield on the other hand has a tolerable scent and Perry didn't show any negative reaction towards it when i used it on him this morning.  The facial wash is for me.  I ordered the smallest bottle because I have to check first if it will suit my skin.  So far, it's good.  My face is not dry nor oily.  I will try to pair it with the sunflower oil during nighttime.

If Perry's rash is totally gone before the week ends,  I'll order their baby lotion.  But for Perry's before and after bath oil, I'm sticking with Aceite de Manzanilla.  It hasn't failed us yet.  Hmmm...I just wondered why I didn't try it on Perry's rash?

Anyway, I'll post updates regarding the effectivity of Human Nature's products on our skin.  I am hoping that I finally found a product line that works for me and my family. :D

P.S. HM does not test products on animals. So, Yay! It's a PLUS fo me!

One of Our Dreams - a Public Library of our Own

Have I told you that my hubby and I are both librarians by profession?  Well... we are!  And we love books and reading!

We also dreamed of having our own public library to share with the people in our town.  And then as I was surfing my friend's tumblr, I discovered this...

Mr. Hernando “Nanie” Guanlao started the Reading Club in  Balagtas Street in Barangay La Paz, Makati where he shares all these book 24/7 to anyone.  According to the article, he lets people take the book/s of their choice for free believing that these will come back a thousand fold.  You can read the full article here.

I admire Mr. Guanlao for starting this.  It inspired me even more to start working on our dream of putting up a library like this in our town.  I better start now 'coz we will be doing this from scratch.    

Running back on track

It's been months, 2 1/2 months to be exact, since my last post.

I've been feeling out of focus for quite sometime. Felt really bad to lose my muse.

But now, I'm back! I have set some life goals for the coming months. My list is supposed to keep me focused and inspired. I really hope it does.

For starter, I jogged 2 rounds inside the campus yesterday. And 3 this afternoon. And am going to add another tomorrow. I am determined to do this daily even for a short 10-minute jog. My body badly needed some exercise. And my skin enjoyed a breath of fresh air after jogging too. I added a round today because my skin haven't excreted enough sweat like yesterday's. I felt really refreshed after that 3rd round.

Aside from the reason of getting fit and healthy, I am also aiming for a bikini body by May 2013. Yep, that's right! Even my CS scar won't stop me from strutting my stuff next summer! Ha! Just wait and see. ;)

Oh, I plan to share some highlights of my long hiatus in the coming days. They're really important to me so I want to document them here.

That's all for now. Good night lovelies!
