Gifts that Give

Tis the season for gift giving but I think that it'd do the world a whole lot of good if we gave gifts that give--gifts that help our environment, promote a cause or give livelihood to the underprivileged. Here I've compiled a few of my favorites: 

Leyende Beach Bomb Cologne

Php450

Ever since the Leyende event (and ever since I discovered their products), I've grown to like this cologne a lot (I also like their Mother Butter Cocoa lotion, which you can also buy here). It smells so fresh and it smells better the longer it is out! BTW, I am running out of perfume too, so *hint, hint* ;)

You can buy this at Zalora (5% off with TheStyleReactor120), Green Options at Gaisano Mall (for Davaoenos) or through http://www.leyende.com/.

Leyende Giveaway Winner!

So, I just sent the prizes of Hazel and Aine today (they won my Accessory giveaway). I've sent everything else, I believe! Venos, I still owe you yours. My friend is working on getting the Lory's hair cream still. :) Sooo, the Leyende giveaway commences my 12 days of (late) Christmas giveaway. Sorry for so much delays!

CONGRATULATIONS

Eloesita Valderama!

Congratulations to ALL my winners! and thank you for following my blog :)

12 Days of Christmas Giveaway: Day 8 **CLOSED**

As I've said in my previous post, I'm giving away a gift set from Leyende.

Included in the giveaway is:

* A gift set which includes samples of Massage in a Bottle (Massage and Body Oil), Smoothie Operator (Bath and Shower Gel) and Kiss kiss Lipbalm in Froyo

*Cool Hand Soup (Hand Sanitizer)

*Clean Slate (Facial Cleanser/ make-up remover)

All of these will come in a Leyende cloth bag :)

Clean Slate is the one I mentioned here that was one of their gifts that give. For every purchase of Clean Slate, a portion goes to their SchoolH.O.U.S.E Program.

Leyende: the Story of Skin

I went to a blogger's event yesterday, hosted by Leyende and Green Options.

So, for all of you who are not familiar with Leyende, it's a Filipino brand that produces Philippine handmade, eco-friendly, natural and organic lotions, moisturizers, hair care and body care products. They had an event awhile ago to launch their partnership with Green Options, Davao. Green Options is the exclusive distributor of Leyende in Davao.

I really enjoyed! I love beauty products, much more those that I am sure will NOT harm my skin! Plus, when the owner/founder of Leyende, Neva Kares Tallendes spoke about the background and advocacy of Leyende, I was truly inspired! Among my fashion design/stylist/make-up artist dreams lies another one wherein I wish to have a sustainable eco-business. Most probably in cosmetics also cause I would love to apply my Chemical Engineering background. Such a waste if I don't put it to good use. I've been slaving around for how many years now in this course. :))

Leyende, came from the Spanish word leyenda, meaning "legend" or "story". It was born out of Neva's need. She shared that her first passion was truly writing, but then an adult onset of skin problems as well as a lack of natural and organic products in the market prompted her to start her own line of products.
