I can’t wait to go to hubby’s family home down South to visit my MIL, hubby’s grandma and aunt.
When the kids had their month-long summer vacation there, they loved spending time in the garden and rooftop room where the air is cool.
Their house is a bit new, with wooden cabin furniture and white walls. The windows are always open to let the cool breeze in the house, something we don’t do here where we live. Here’s why.

We opted to use soaps from the (DOH) Department of Health‘s Philippine Institute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care (PITAHC) that have natural ingredients in it.
With a teenage daughter, we have to be careful what we use for acne remedy because facial skin is sensitive.
At first, using the soaps on my face gave me a bit of discomfort because my skin felt itchy. I asked my SIL about it because she was the one who gave me the soaps. She said I have to read the ingredients and sure enough, ingredients just listed the fruit or vegetable extract and vegetable oil. None of those 20+ lettered hard-to-pronounce words. So, yey! Must be those extracts doing what they are supposed to do on the skin.
So far I’ve used papaya, cucumber and carrot soaps for skin moisturizing. I forgot to take photos of these.
My daughter is using calamansi soap for whitening (rolls eyes) while we still have bayabas [guava] (skin protection against bacteria), akapulko (skin defense against fungus) and labanos [radish] (skin whitening and astringent).
We are almost out of soap so we need to order more soon.
