this mum is turning green

Not green with envy, of course, but green, as in green-living ^_^

I have been meaning to visit the local Human Heart Nature branch since I became a member in September, but have not found the time to do so as am either tired from too much running after the little man whenever we do our errands or laden with a bagful of grocery items whenever we passed by the building on our way home. With the little man in tow, I took advantage of the pre-Christmas downtime + went but the shop but it was closed for their Christmas party.

Finally, after the Christmas break, I was able to visit the shop on Tuesday. It actually looks more like a spa or a very cosy living room of a very close friend, homey + inviting, but, instead of the usual photographs here + there, the place is peppered by various Human Heart Nature products + items. To indulge the visitors, you can even try out the products as I saw samplers of each item on display that you can try out for free.

The staffs are also very warm + accommodating, with one of them {am actually guessing he’s the shop owner} even offering Polvoron to the little man {which I politely declined, as Jared would just shrug the treat off!}. He even allowed Jared to play for a bit in the private nook of the shop, as my little man excitedly ran there when he saw another kiddo, Nemo, whom he can play with. A lady also assisted me as I browse through their display.

Another thing I love about the place is that they hand you actual baskets {yes, the ones you can put fruits into} to hold your goodies while you shop around + at the check out till, your purchase will be wrapped in earth-friendly brown bags, too. Truly, there is no use for plastic in this place.

I am even surprised when I paid my bill. I spent P480 {about $12} for my purchase that include these:

• Foamy Bath + Shaving Oil – Eucalyptus {100ml}
• Spray Sanitizer – Citrus Burst {50ml}
• Hand + Foot Salve – Banana {50ml}
• Sunflower Seed Beauty Oil {50ml}
• Kids Shampoo + Body Wash – Tangerine Tarsier {200ml}
• Balancing Facial Wash – Elemi {50ml}
