Just this Tuesday morning (June 24), I got a text message from someone inquiring about my handmade soaps. It was nothing unusual because I normally get texts like that. But with this particular inquiry, I just had to ask the sender where she learned about my handmade soaps. She texted me that she read it from Manila Bulletin. That was how I found out that the article on BY NATURE Handmade Soaps has been featured that day. I was very thankful for that inquiry.
That time, my brother and I were checking out this place along White Plains (where, hopefully, I’d get to resume doing yoga) while waiting for my son who started going to school somewhere near the area. So when I learned about the news, we immediately rushed to the nearest gas station to buy a copy…I mean copIES. I bought five (5) which was all that they had, hehe! 
Enjoy the article!

Oooh yeah…I sure would want to get a massage every night (how I wish!), but this post is not about me. It’s about our little big boy, DL1 (he’s such a big boy now even if he’s only 3.7 years old , sigh…).
I remember the time when I introduced to him a good night’s massage session. He loved it and kept asking for it night after night. When he would be ready to go to sleep, he’d say “I want massage, mom”, and I would gladly oblige. I’d use the Moisturizing OiLotion, and before pouring the oil, I would always shake the bottle first in order to get some of the aloe vera gel in it. The shaking sound would get DL1 all excited because he knows that his massage is coming 
He would also say that he likes the scent of the oil. I’m really glad he appreciates these things.

I am dedicating this post to all mothers out there who have gone through a whole lot of sacrifices (physically and mentally) in order to bring their children out into this world in the best way they can.
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!
———–
This post has been loooong overdue! I told myself that I should share about my experience on active birth for moms-to-be who read my blog to encourage them that it is very, very doable and that there’s nothing to fear, even just to give it a try. Of course, there should be the consent of your OB-gyn, that you have no risky health conditions and that you are physically able to deliver your child this way. If you think you are a strong and healthy mom-to-be and you would like to give this a try (especially for your first child), I’d say go for it, girl!
By the way, I was also inspired to share about this after I read the blog of a fellow mommy who ended up having a C-section which MAY BE because the anesthesiologist told her that she needed an epidural to feel relaxed and to relax her baby as well. You can read her blog here.
Anyway, on with my post…

All BY NATURE Handmade Soaps can be used for our face and our body, even on our hair! They are made with all-natural ingredients (except for the fragrance oils) so using it all over will not cause any harm on our skin.
Like any other skin product, it is always best to check if you are allergic to any of the ingredients. In BY NATURE Handmade Soaps‘ case, it would help to know if you are allergic to any of the natural ingredients they contain. For instance, if you are allergic to honey or milk, then it would be best to avoid the variants that contain those ingredients. But you are left with a lot of other variants to choose from
It really makes me wonder why people are more skeptical to use all-natural products on themselves, but would readily use products with synthetic ingredients. Well, I can’t blame them, too, because we grew up with these products, thinking that they’re the best man can offer and come up with. I can only be so happy for our children. They are fortunately growing up in an era where natural products are becoming more preferred over mass-produced and commercialized products, which are loaded with potentially harmful synthetic ingredients.
For the skeptic people, they just need to be educated about the hazards of using chemical-laden products, that’s all. And I hope that my website is effectively doing just that. I may sound like a broken record, but going natural is one of the best things you can do for yourself and your family. It’s never too late to shift. Do it one skin care or hair care product at a time or replace them all in one go! The important thing is that you’ve taken that step in going all-natural. Nothing could be better.
Again, all BY NATURE Handmade Soaps can be used for our face and our body, even on our hair! Do give them a try and let them be part of your first step of going all-natural!
