Human Heart Nature has been my go-to brand for 100% organic products since I first discovered them in 2009. Their shampoos and conditions do wonders to my hair, and I feel good every time I buy from them because the proceeds go to the Filipino farmers that supply the ingredients. Today, Human Heart Nature just got better with their amazing new lineup of hair and body care products!

First up is the new Natural Moisturizing Shampoo with CreamFoam Technology, which is without a doubt the best shampoo I’ve tried. My hair feels salon-soft and smooth after every shampoo! Infused with Coco Nectar, the Moisturizing Shampoo is filled with amino acids, minerals, and vitamins which the body uses for cell repair and regeneration. When used on hair, Coco Nectar adds moisture, healthy shine, and thickness, giving you naturally luscious locks. Shampoos with these ingredients are priced at around $30 in the US, but Human Heart Nature was able to release these shampoos at P129.75 for 200ml. If you’re tired of having dry, lifeless hair, you should give this a try along with its matching Moisturizing Conditioner.

The Moisturizing Shampoo works best with the Moisturizing Conditioner, which also has the patented CreamFoam Technology. Actually, any shampoo works wonders with this conditioner. I experimented using it with an organic honey shampoo from a different brand, and my hair was just as silky-soft and smooth. Definitely a must-try!

I haven’t given the new Passion Fruit Hydrating Lotions a try yet, but everyone in the Human Nature Facebook page seems to adore it. It’s just as moisturizing as the body butter, except the application is a lot easier and the skin absorbs it faster. If you love lotion, this one is worth a look.

Last but certainly not the least is the new Human Nature Bug Shield. I haven’t tried this out either but I do love the minimalist design on the packaging! Their newest insect repellent comes in the form of an absorbent lotion that’s 100% DEET-free and pleasantly scented. Make sure to get this for yourself and your kids – dengue season is coming.

Grab these new products from a Human Heart Nature seller near you, or buy them online at the Human Nature website (they accept Paypal!). Have you tried any of these products yet? What do you think?————

Amazing New Products from Human Heart Nature is a post from: Shopping Finds

Wouldn’t it be great if you woke up with softer, whiter, more radiant skin? You can make this happen by getting enough sleep and by using products that rejuvenate your skin while you peacefully dose off. Current research on the science of sleep shows that sleep is the best time for beauty and renewal. During the deep sleep stage of the night time sleep cycle, the body replenishes its energy supplies, releases growth hormones, and renews body tissues and cells – including those on the skin.

Enhance your body’s natural ability to rejuvenate your skin with the new Gluta-Milk Whitening Night Cream from Eskinol. This amazing night-time moisturizer is enriched with all sorts of nutrients your skin will love, including milk essentials that soften silk, a Glutatione Complex that whitens using four powerful antioxidants (glutathione with vitamins E, C, and B3), and an Overnight Renew formula that helps whitening agents penetrate deeper. These nutrients go to work the moment you shut your eyes. When you wake up in the morning, you’ll definitely see and feel the difference.

Night creams that promise these benefits are normally priced in the thousands, but Eskinol Gluta-Milk Whitening Night Cream is affordable to every Filipina. A 30ml tube only costs P89 while the 10ml sachet is priced at P10. Grab one at the nearest supermarket, drug store, and department store and wake up to better skin tomorrow. ————

Brown Bag Market On Nov 20 at The Collective is a post from: Shopping Finds

Getting a full body massage at The Spa is one of those luxuries worth working for. I love their soothing atmosphere, the aroma of scented oils lingering in the air, and the attentiveness of the staff. There’s good news for The Spa members near The Power Plant at Rockwell, because they just opened a new branch at the R2 level of the Archaeology wing.

Like the other branches, The Spa at Rockwell is exquisitely designed. Each branch has a unique theme; the one at Rockwell has plush beige, chrome, crystal, and velvet interiors.

They carry the same extravagant range of massages, body treatments, and facials as the other branches of The Spa.

Aside from that, The Spa Rockwell is also the location of the newest barre3 studio in the Philippines. barre3 offers a 60-minutes, full-body workout that combines the grace of ballet, the wisdom of yoga, and the strength of pilates. Together, these three disciplines will improve your balance, strengthen your core, and increase flexibility. And since the pace of the workout is not as frenetic as cardio, you’ll walk away with a calmer spirit and sound mind after each workout.

The Spa has branches in Acropolos, Alabang, Greenbelt, The Fort, Eastwood and Trinoma. Learn more about their services and rates at http://www.thespa.com.ph/. You can also take barre3 classes at their branches in Alabang, The Fort, and Eastwood. Find out more at http://www.barre3.com.ph.

20% Off at Organic Rituals Spa is a post from: Shopping Finds

For some reason, Filipinos are very particular about underarm color. Dark underarms are actually caused by physical irritation to tweezing or waxing, genetics, or a reaction to harsh chemical products, but we tend to associate it with being unhygienic or dirty. We’re quick to point out if someone’s underarms are darker than they should be, which can trigger body issues and low-self esteem if that person happens to be a woman. She is then limited to wearing sleeves despite the heat, or is afraid to raise her arms, which inhibits her from doing things she is perfectly capable of doing.

Research shows that women tend to avoid deodorants because if their supposed darkening effects, which is a shame because a good deodorant can prevent embarrassing sweat stains or body odor. The good news is that the causes of dark underarms (save for genetics) can be prevented with whitening products. The new Skinlight from Rexona is a convenient two-in-one product – it protects against body odor and reverses underarm darkening by sealing in moisture, which promotes skin cell renewal. It also inhibits melanin production, which is what causes the dark areas to begin with. If used everyday, Rexona Skinlight can give you visibly whiter armpits in just two weeks.

Available at all supermarkets and drug stores now.————

Rexona Skinlight Debunks the Dark Underarms Dogma is a post from: Shopping Finds

Remember the organic insect repellent from Human Heart Nature I recommended a couple of weeks ago? Aside from total protection from dengue sans the harmful chemicals found in regular insect repellent, there’s one more good reason for you to check this best-selling product out. From October 11 until December 31, 2010, 100% of the proceeds of Human Nature’s Citronella Bug Spray, will be donated to the Citronella farming community in Brgy. Kanapawan, Labo, Camarines Norte where Human Nature sources all of its citronella needs that go into each of the Bug Spray.

In addition to donating 100% of the proceeds of its best-selling product, Human Nature together with the Philippine Federation for Environmental Concern (PFEC) and the Kooperatiba ng mga Maliliit na Mangniniyog ng Barangay Kanapawan (KMMBK) have recently signed a MOA sealing Human Nature’s commitment to help the citronella farmers in their 1st phase expansion of their citronella farms from 7 hectares to 20 hectares.

You can buy the Citronella Bug Spray online starting at P79.75, or at a Human Heart Nature retailer near you.————

Sunsilk Co-Creations is a post from: Shopping Finds

Aside from the flood and traffic, the rainy season has one more thing to inflict upon us – malaria and dengue-causing mosquitoes. Protect yourself and your child with an organic insect repellent like Human Heart Nature‘s new citronella bug spray. Not only is it completely safe and effective; it’s also free from the harsh, toxic chemicals found in conventional insect repellents.

One such harmful ingredient found in the average insect repellent is DEET (N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide). It was originally created as a pesticide for farms until the US Army made use of it on their military after their jungle experiences in World War II. According to lab rat studies by the Duke University Medical center, long-term use of DEET kills neurons, which affects the functioning of the nervous system. This is very dangerous for children, whose developing nervous systems are vulnerable to the effects of chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Other studies from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry in Atlanta, Georgia discovered that DEET can cause skin allergic reactions, birth defects, and hormone disruption in the long run.

So keep your child safe from mosquitoes and toxins with this 100% organic insect repellent from Human Heart Nature. Ingredients include citronella oil, a natural insect repellent, virgin coconut oil for its moisturizing effects, and organic lemongrass, rosemary, and lavender essential oils for a pleasant aroma. Only P84.75 for a 50ml bottle at Human Heart Nature or a dealer near you.
