Ilog Maria stash refill

Back in November, we went to Ilog Maria bee farm to get soaps for our entourage's giveaways. Lou and I never got anything for ourselves that time, except for the leftovers ...which were all so good, effective and addicting!!! Sadly they were too few that we didn't enjoy the BEE-nefits that much! (haha!)



And so we were happy that last week, "day of valor" holiday came -- we had a chance to go on a road trip to Silang Cavite! We shopped this time for ourselves and for our home! We got the following:

1) Kalamansi and Ginger soap - Fights itchiness, scaly dry skin and all forms of dermatitis. Circulatory stimulant, Slight deodorant, has Bleaching & whitening effects.

2) Lavender Honey soap (my favorite.) - Soothes and relaxes tired muscles. Good before bedtime. Calms away stress, exhaustion, fatigue and nervous tension. Promotes restful sleep. 

3) Honey Glycerin Face soap - filled with loads of honey (that the soap can bear) for cleansing and softening effect. formulated for use on the sensitive skin of your face.

4) Feminine wash (for me, of course) - has Propolis Gold for added anti-fungal, antibacterial and antiviral action. has peppermint oil for an added cooling effect, and pure sampaguita oil for long lasting fragrance.

5) Propolis pet soap (for kitchie!) -  hand-grated soaps, carefully re-batched for pets. Has added Propolis gold and natural pine oil for antibacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal action.

6) Lip Balm - made from refined beeswax, Propolis Gold, Virgin Honey and a medley of fruit oils, for kissable lips with fresh minty twist.

7) Beeswax Pillar candle -  fragrant, smokeless and drip-less candle made of beeswax.(I also bought a small bottle of orange scented oil for this. It gives our place a nice citrus-y smell, which I really love especially during my yoga sessions!)

8) Fresh Bee Pollen (health supplement -- Lou's favorite.) - fresh pollens collected before bees enter their beehives - contains all vitamins, minerals and trace elements for life. Increases stamina, alertness, mental capacity, burns fats, eases fatigue and hypertension, and more!

9) Healing Massage Oil (for our spa visits, yes we'll be bringing our own massage oil from now on. We both love this.) - An aromatic & soothing blend of essential oils of herbs, flowers, fruit and nut oils with the zing of citrus. Excellent for siatsu, reflexology and deep, healing massage.

10) Stingless Mosquito Repellant - Citronella, lemongrass and other plant oils that naturally repel mosquitoes. Safe for kids.

11) Propolis Liniment - for overnight relief of persistent aches, pains, sore tendons & muscles, and rheumatism.

I know you're probably thinking that I shopped like crazy, but believe it or not, Lou was the one who picked more than half of these! haha! My items were just 2, 4, 7 and 9!

Anyway, for more detailed descriptions of these (and other products), you can check out the "shop" section in their website! This saves time, especially if you're a first timer who have no idea what bee-product suits your lifestyle.

We got worried that it could take months before we can visit this place again, and so we got a basket full of items! We shopped like there's tomorrow - now our home is now filled up with bee-products, and it smells scented beeswax all over! I think this stash will last for another 5 months :) hahaha!
