We just wrapped up today's PH meeting for @aia_alliancearomatherapists covering Bamboo Hydrosols by @bambusalubreph

Thank you Dr. Anneth for imparting your wealth of knowledge with us today. Your passion in promoting Bamboo is truly inspiring. 🎋🎋

𝘐𝘵'𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘧 2022! How are you holding up? 😛

I choose to start my day with something really healthy and #ProudlyPinoy—this very comforting cup of Bamboo Tea from @bambusalubreph

Had a quick catch up with Dr. Anneth and she taught us how to prepare her Bamboo tea. It tastes milder than earl grey, I'd say you can drink this at any time of the day.

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙚𝙖? Well, if you joined our 𝙒𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝘽𝙚𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙙 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙊𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 2021 PH Aromatherapy Summit, you'd know how the bamboo tea has helped Dr Anneth in bringing her hair back post-surgery. Also, it's been keeping her crowning glory away from looking like salt and pepper!

What are the Benefits of bamboo tea? Well, bamboo tea has natural silica. Silica is found naturally in our bones and fast-growing tissues such as hair, skin, and nails, which are especially dependent on the compound for strength, resilience, and collagen production.

So silica helps in strengthening your bones, hair, and nails. The compound is essential for controlling the flow of calcium in and out of our bones, assisting with proper bone maintenance. Silica also helps promote collagen.

Curious to try this cup of tea? DM @bambusalubreph

Brunching on a Sunday with Lou (@lourdesmargarita_c) and Dr Anneth (@bambusalubreph).

Visiting Dr. Anneth's bamboo farm with Lou was truly one of my highlights in 2021. So glad to be able to have this Sunday brunch session with these ladies.

PS thank you @gourdos for the Wellness Baskets we distributed to our Live speakers for the Ph Aromatherapy summit. 🙏🙏

Say hello to my Chamomile cold processed soap—not bad for a first-timer! 🧼

After 36 hours, I was able to unmold my soap, albeit the corners are still a bit soft. I'm letting this cure for the next 6 weeks and see how it goes in the sink. The properties of the oil I selected are intended for efficient cleansing with amazing lather, yet it's gentle on the skin. So, hopefully, it turns out as expected after its curing time. ⏰

On the other hand, I'm also glad that the fragrance still holds despite the critical 24-48hr saponification process. I just love the androgynous minty fresh scent—with notes of peppermint, eucalyptus, thyme, amber, ginger and musk. This batch went into gel phase, which would probably burn off most of the volatiles in your fragrance oil, moreso if you've used essential oils. So, again, hopefully, the fragrance would still be there after the 6 weeks curing time.

So glad I was able to squeeze in a meet up Sesh with @lourdesmargarita_c right before our impending lockdown (yet again!😔😔). We were able to film a quick #SniffSesh together as we compare @_nature2nurture oils and hydrosol

Today I made my maiden batch of soap. 🧼 I used some pretty basic oils like coconut oil, sunflower oil, olive oil, and castor oil. Since it's my first time, I went with this petite-sized 4in loaf mold from @brambleberry

I was initially planning to do some swirls but my batter siezed after adding Brambleberry's Wasabi fragrance oil so I ended up making this mountain peak texture top design.

Can't wait for its unmolding after 24-48hrs 😍😍😍

The true blessing of Christmas is not in the gifts we receive, it's in the family that sits around the tree and makes this festival one of joy and happiness.

May the joy of this festive season fill your life with happiness, peace, and be full of all things wonderful. 🎄🎁⛄🎅

I had to take a few days offline to center myself from all the rush in organizing this year's #WBIO2021 PH Aromatherapy Summit.

I appreciate all the attendees who saw the value of it all through and through. And I'm still so grateful to all the speakers who took time to be with us this year—be it for the pre-recorded classes or the LIVE sessions, you all made our Philippine aromatherapy summit worth all the time and effort in preparation, organizing, and execution.

Sharing holiday aromatic things with Aromatherapists all over the world. 🎄🎁

Yesterday we had the holiday #TeaThyme with @icanaroma where I shared about Star Anise (𝘐𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘶𝘮). Today I decided to talk about Date Stones with Frankincense from @nawa.arabia
at @aia_alliancearomatherapists holiday meeting as my Christmas beverage for this year.

Tonight, we'll be spreading some holiday cheer with Aromatherapists and essential oil enthusiasts in the Philippines! What should I dress up as? 🦌🎄🎁🎅

It's taking me an awfully longer time to finish my vlog edits... Although I'm super excited to share them with you as I haven't vlogged much for the entire 2021 so being able to squeeze some in before the year ends is something I'd love to share before the new year.

Here's a snippet of our boat ride to the latest dive spot we enjoyed last week in Batangas.
