Human Nature Read the Label Campaign

i was able to attend the Human Nature magalogue turnover last Saturday. despite the rains, a lot of people still turned up. they are now launching a new campaign, which is very much apt with the times, what with all the sickness and ailments arising from the use of hidden chemicals prominent in commercial personal care products. 

did you know that our skin absorbs 60% of what we put on it? these compounds go straight to our blood vessels and may result in certain cancers, hormonal disorder, and other sickness. but we can all prevent that by simply educating ourselves into what are in the products we use, and by READING THE LABEL. below are some toxic chemicals commonly found in your regular personal care products, risks that may occur from using them, and their natural and safe alternatives. do not be deceived by the word "natural" in commercial products because they can use the term on their products even if they only use 0.99% of a real natural ingredient.

i swear by Human Nature products, as they have a heart for the people who make and use them as well as the environment. their products are 100% natural and free of harmful chemicals, and are safe to use even for babies. i have definitely made a switch to using these products instead of products readily available in the market, and my son and i are enjoying the benefits. and now, i'm sharing them with you! :)

for more information about Human Nature, please ask me. :)

one way to green your party

here's an interesting and very green way to serve drinks: edible cups! to me it looks like 'gulaman', a seaweed-derived jelly in the Philippines. they also come in flavors to complement your cocktails. and when you get tired of chewing your cup, you can throw them in the garden as they are very biodegradable. read more here.
