Human Nature brings together beauty and social enterprise

For many residents of Quezon City, finding a world class beauty store usually means going to crowded malls or braving traffic in the Ortigas and Makati areas.
This is one of the reasons why Human Nature decided to put up their flagship store in the northern metropolis—to give residents a new and classy destination for their health and beauty needs.
Designed by young, talented Filipina architects, Mau Adraneda and Joyce Angara, the store concept is reminiscent of an enchanted forest in the midst of a concrete jungle.
“Quezon City is a fast-developing city with humble beginnings, very much like Human Nature,” said Human Nature owners Anna Meloto-Wilk and Camille Meloto. The two are daughters of Gawad Kalinga founder Tony Meloto.
“(The brand) all started out as a humble idea to provide natural and organic personal care products to each and every Filipino,” recalled the sisters. “We are very thankful, that in just three short years, Human Nature has now spread all over the Philippines and has even reached the United States.”
They proudly added that the label has become the largest producer of genuinely natural personal care and cosmetic products in the country.
The new Human Nature hub concept store is located at 460 Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City. It is a one-stop shop for all things natural, and all things Filipino. Some of their best sellers include hair care products such as shampoos and conditioners, lip balm, hand and foot salve, day and night moisturizers, bug sprays, and hand sanitizers. Their Natural Sunflower Beauty Oil and cosmetics line have also been getting positive reviews.
The new concept store also marks another huge milestone for Human Nature as it provides a venue for other world-class Filipino Social Enterprises to showcase their idea of a first world Philippines.
The store houses natural and organic personal care products from other social entrepreneurs such as Golden Eggs: salted eggs, a Filipino favorite, without the toxic food color; Café de Sug: Gawad Kalinga’s famous coffee from Sulu; Enchantea: healthy iced tea from GK Enchanted Farm; FilBambu: Shanghai Expo winners that offer food containing bamboo; Theo & Philo Chocolates: 100 percent bean to bar Filipino artisan chocolate; Jacinto & Lirio: luxury bags made from leather and water Hyacinth; Red Carpet, Blue Bamboo, Salabatea and many others.
Visitors of the flagship store also get to enjoy free-flowing locally-grown brewed coffee like barako, mountain blends and Sulu Coffee.
“Do drop by and support 100 percent Filipino goodness, because with every purchase from these social enterprises, not only are you buying world-class Filipino products, you’re also helping in being a part of the solution to our nation’s poverty and bringing us closer to the first world,” invited the Melotos.

Seattle's Best Coffee's milk tea.
I am gaga over milk teas for the past year, name it i had it even the brewed ones, i am milk tea turned human, anything catch my fancy , i will get a taste on, this was bought by a friend, and the addict in me sipped on and lo and behold it is very very sweet to my scrutinizing taste. I dont know i asked for a half glass of ice and poured it on top but still the strong sweet taste is still raging, it is made up of caramel with a little hint of tea i dont know if its earl grey but definitely not green tea, red tapioca pearl reminds the taste of maraschino cherry, maybe they dipped the chewy pearls in it, and that saved the day for this SBC’s milk tea. But if you are into sweet teas then this one is for you. Enjoy and let me know=)
Urban Junket it is in Hot Pink=)
I have been eyeing this tote bag for some months already, little did i know that this would land in my hand, this tote bag is available in white, green, blue and of course pink, thanks a lot The Travel Club.=)
Human Nature..read the label..
an all natural products that is rocking the green in me, Sunflower oil their bestseller is available at 100ml. This is my holy grail next to their lotion and peppermint lipbalm. Their flagship store is now open at Commonwealth QC, now there is more reason to visit QC after SM, Trinoma and Technohub=). Spotted at their launch is Ms. Isabel Roces a PETA advocate and Vice Mayor Joy Belmonte.

Their hand sanitizer fruit burst is a permanent replacement for the alcohol gel that im using for years.

Do you know who that picture is of? That’s Marilyn Monroe. They’ve considered her the most beautiful women in the world. She’s gorgeous, and beautiful, right? But look at her stomach. Is it completely flat? Does she not have love handles or, perfect long skinny legs? No. She doesn’t. And wanna know something? Her pants size, was a size 9. She wasn’t some fucking 00 or 1. She had CURVES. You all worry about your pants size, and your weight when, in reality, who cares? Why not live your life and be happy instead of counting calories in your head? Trying to “Be skinny”? You think losing weight is going to automatically make you feel better? It won’t. No magical fairy is gonna come flying outta fucking wood work, declaring, “You’re now officially hot! Boys love you now! You can be accepted by society!” No. Utter, bullshit. You’re fucking beautiful; it’s society that’s fucked. Love yourself, because if you cant love yourself, you can’t love anybody, or anything else. Be free, and be happy. Fuck what the media says, you want that double cheese-burger with bacon? GO FOR IT. Until your weight starts to affect your health, you’re perfectly fine to eat what you please. ♥
THE REAL MODEL..no edits, just all YOU
