Mother Earth is kind of like a real mom. She shields us from horrendous rain and flood. She wears many hats to ensure that our basic needs in this lifetime are met: nature, air, agriculture, and more. Significantly, she is also the epitome of resilience as she shines regardless of how we treat her bountiful resources.
In color psychology, green is a cool color that symbolizes nature and the natural world. Green also represents tranquility, good luck, and health. (Toyota Prius is Hybrid- totally eco-friendly).
This month, we celebrated Mother’s Day; but we should celebrate Mother Earth everyday. To do so, why don’t we ditch unnecessary packages like those plastic wrappers from candies, chips, and chocolates? Help Mother Earth by reducing your carbon footprint through these eco-friendly products:

Pregnancy changes everything, including your body, mind, and skin. Your body becomes more voluptuous or your skin becomes more oily. Therefore, the more we put chemicals on our skin, the more it becomes frail or exposed to skin diseases. To maintain your healthy and beautiful skin, choose organic makeup products! Organic Tita’s products are 100% vegan and proudly (hand) made in the Philippines!
