When I blogged about Amu'in, a lot of you (locally and internationally) expressed interest with the products, so the wonderful people from Amu'in are nice enough to both me and my readers that they generously give 2 of their Amu'in Travel Packs.
Did you know?
Tradition Woven Into Fabric:
The Bangar Abel
“Abel” is the Ilocano term for a process of weaving. Bangar, La Union is a sleepy town in Northern Philippines where the exquisite and century-old tradition of Abel weaving continues to this day in the townspeople’s backyards. The Abel blankets -- with their distinct rich colors and beautiful designs -- were once used by Philippine President Manuel L. Quezon for his bed covers. Today, however, with the ready availability of cheap machine-made fabrics and the migration of the youth away from Bangar, the Abel tradition is in danger of dying out.
In the hopes to keep this wonderful craft alive, AMU'IN is commited to using Abel fabrics for their kits and holders. They hope this will give the weavers from Bangar reason to keep this tradition going.
Each pack consists of ---
AMU'IN Alaga Natural Hand Sanitizer 50ml
AMU'IN Sigla Body Mist 50ml
AMU'IN Alaga Natural Insect Repellant 50ml
AMU'IN Hulay Body Mist 50ml
AMU'IN Alaga Stress Relief Balm 10gms

Usually my way of relieving stress after a day of work is to watch TV and prop my feet in a stack of pillows :)
Sometimes I read a book ;)

After a hard day of work, I would always light my favorite candle. It has a scent of apple and it instantly energizes me.
At the end of a stressful day, I look forward to lying on my soft bed surrounded by 5 pillows and 2 stuffed piggies :D
