The Body Shop Summer Sale!!!



I've always been an avid fan of The Body Shop. I believe in its advocacy about environment protection and at the same time endorsing beauty in its highest level. This summer, The Body Shop Philippines has partnered with the Tahanang Walang Hagdanan Inc. (TWHI). 



The story behind The Body Shop sale crates

This summer as you visit The Body Shop's summer sale, take note of the wooden crates that contain and display their wonderful products. Continuing its long tradition of helping global and local communities, The Body Shop Philippines has tapped Tahanang Walang Hagdanan Inc. to create crates from wooden pallets, used in the shipment of their lovely beauty products from the United Kingdom.



Through these simple crates, the brand is able to live its core values especially activating self esteem, protecting the planet, and supporting community fair trade. Through these wooden boxes, The Body Shop is proud to take part in the livelihood program of Tahanang Walang Hagdanan and strengthen the sense of purpose of orthopedically challenged Filipinos.

Tahanang Walang Hagdanan, Inc. is a non---stock, non---profit and non---government organization that aims to uplift the lives of the orthopedically handicapped persons. It was founded by Sr. Valeriana Baerts, ICM.A Belgian nun who was assigned as a volunteer nurse here in the Philippines. Located in Cainta Rizal, it has five workshops, six dormitories for trainees who came from far provinces. It is a rehabilitation and skills training center with sheltered workshops where the people with disabilities are trained to be productive and self-reliant members of the society.




Made from used pallets from their cargo, the crates are tangible proof that The Body Shop practices the 3 Rs it espouses --- reduce, reuse, recycle. Turning the pallets into wooden crates is a testament to the many ways The Body Shop tries to protect our planet.


As The Body Shop is one of the first companies to engage in community fair trade, this arrangement with TWHI is a local initiative that exhibits support for community fair trade, one of its five core values.

Visit one of The Body Shop stores this summer and pick one of their great sale offers from these unassuming but values-filled crates and know that as you enjoy your wonderful summer finds from The Body Shop, TWHI residents and mother earth are smiling with you.







Here are some of the exciting products which are on sale this summer from 
The Body Shop 



















The Body Shop Glorietta 4 , Makati


....where we had our "BODY SHOPping" hihihi 


with fellow blogger-friends Jenny and Bedalyn and amazing peeps behind The Body Shop (Angel, Issa Danica and Dan)


I told Danica, "Everytime I come here at The Body Shop, I really feel like this place is a haven of goodness and beauty, it's like heaven hihihi kulang na lang tumira ako dito, pwede bang tumira na lang dito?" (funny :P) 


It's "BODY SHOPping" time! ;)) hmmm...


I've got a Tea Tree Oil! - A medicine cabinet must. A pre-blended oil which can be used in many different ways to help soothe blemished skin. Dab directly onto skin at first sign of a blemish. Size: 10ml. (from The Body Shop)


TRIVIA: Tea Tree Oil The Bundjalung aboriginal tribal group have known about tea tree oil's healing properties for years - around 40,000, give or take. More recently they established the Bunjum Co-operative to market their fantastic tea tree oil and protect their rights. Their aims of restoring pride and vitality in the community are already being met, and the young now have work opportunities without having to leave for the city.



I also got myself a "Skin Primer Matte It" which is a perfect find for me since I've an oily skin and an "always on the go" person. It reduces oil production on my face so, I don't have to re-touch my powder as often like the way I used to. 


TRIVIA: Perfect your skin and lips with a mattifying gel that helps absorb excess oils for a silky, shine-free finish. Cleanse, tone and moisturize your face beforehand using products from our Skin Care range that are suitable for your skin type. Try our Tea Tree Oil Mattifying Moisture Gel for normal, oily or blemished skin or Seaweed Daily Shine Control Moisture Cream for normal to oily skin. Use with a foundation, a Lip Color and other great products in The Body Shop make-up range to complete the look.  ( from The Body Shop)


Special thanks to Dan of The Body Shop, my shopping buddy :-), who'd been so helpful and very generous in sharing some make-up and beauty tips all through-out my shopping...



With The Body Shop products in my hand...   I get to help others, support its advocacy in environment protection and have the perfect match for my beauty regimen and skin care as well, what else could I ask for? See the "big" smile? hihihi Thank you The Body Shop! More power! 'Til next! ;* wink* wink*

Special thanks to my blogger/ friend/ kumare Bedalyn of dress up & down for some of the beautiful pics I've posted here.
