Reusable Menstrual Pads and Menstrual Cups -- save your money and help save the environment

Image
  June 14, 2020 "refuse what you do not need; reduce what you do need; reuse what you consume; recycle what you cannot refuse, reduce, or reuse; and rot (compost) the rest." We all want to live greener but I think we could all agree that the situation we live in makes it difficult to do so. Convenience is comfort, and convenience entails a lot of waste most of the time. If you think about it, we throw a lot of stuff. This had been bogging me for a while so I have started to change my lifestyle little by little.  I am not a green warrior, I admit I still use a lot of stuff and throw a lot of trash. However, I found that I can actually change some of the products I have been using in order to lessen my waste. One of that is the use of sanitary napkins. Women use a lot of tampon or sanitary napkin on their menstrual cycle. It irritates me to see how much I put on the waste bin. I invested in a menstrual cup. You would find a lot of detailed articles about it on the internet but ...

The Oil That Will (Might) Save You From Your Skin Problems

Image
May 15, 2020 Yesterday, I wrote about my new skincare product for summer. Today, I want to tell you about another product that could help you ij your skin woes. Tea tree oil came from the, you guessed it, tea tree. It has a strong aromatic smell and aside from that, it is an all around oil that can be used for many purposes.  As for me, the main function of the tea tree oil is as armpit deodorant. I haven't used drugstore deodorants or antiperspirant for many years now since I have learned that antiperspirants just block the sweat glands in our armpits. I do not quite like the sound of that so I decided to read more about it. J read that sweat doesn't really make us smell bad, it's the bacteria that eats them that do. So, what better solution than kill the bacteria? I used sanitizing alcohol ever since then.  When I ventured into the world of oils, I have realized that I can add tea tree oil to my armpit routine. Tea tree oil is an antibacterial oil that thas other benefits...

A REVIEW • LUMIERE ORGANICEUTICALS MULTIVITAMIN FACIAL SUNSCREEN GEL SPF60

Image
Summer is finally here! And thanks to the location of the Philippines in the globe, we get an extra dose of sunlight! For some, it is a good time to bask in the summer sun. For me, well, it is time to get covered with extra clothes and shades and hats! I have a quite fair skin that tends to burn easily under the sun. I am also very prone to hyperpigmentation that makes me a "stay-at-home" girl. However, staying under a roof still proved to be challenging since the heat can enter and it makes my face red. Due to this, I set on a journey of looking for the best organic sunscreen. Luckily, I did not need to search for long as I've found the Multivitamin Facial Sunscreen Gel SPF60 by LUMIERE ORGANICEUTICALS.

Summer Skincare Routine for a Tropical Climate

Image
 June 1, 2020 I wasn't into skincare until 2018. My old trusted brand was Pond's which I had been using since high school. However, I have decided to level up my skincare arsenal.  I have this philosophy that it is better to spend more money to things that go to your body like food and skincare. Because of this, I do not have a habit of buying expensive clothing, bags or shoes. I spend most of my money to food, skincare and bodycare and hobbies. My beauty products are not a secret. I often post them on social media for other people to try them if they want.  So, as a reference for the people who ask me, here is the (almost) complete set of my facial skincare. I apply them to my face and neck as the neck is often overlooked.

Hair Products in Big Bottles -- save money, save your hair and help save the environment

Image
 July 11, 2020 I've known long ago that investing in your hair is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Invest more on your health, skin, hair and body rather than on expensive bags, shoes or clothes.  Today, I want to share with you  big bottled  shampoo and conditioner products.  I have been using  Love, Beauty and Planet  products for a year now. I mainly like them because they use clear, big plastic bottles. If you haven't heard, only clear plastic bottles get the chance to be recycled and most colored shampoo bottles we get from the store almost never get recycled. I also love them for their great aroma! Your head and hair have a big influence on how you smell. If you want to smell good without perfume, consider looking for mild but great smelling shampoo, conditioner and soap.  It was only last month that I stumbled upon  Human Nature 's big bottled shampoo and conditioner. They are significantly bigger than Love, Beauty and P...
