“Self-care is never a selfish act -- it is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on earth to offer to others.” – Parker Palmer . For a lot of folks, we feel guilty about taking the time to care for ourselves, whether it's preparing a healthy meal, getting some exercise, going on a trip, reading, having a spa day, or spending time with friends, when we feel we should be getting shit done or making a difference in the world. . But we often forget that we cannot give from an empty cup, and that we need to rejuvenate our spirits in order to better give to others.😊 . Remember that in our quest to create a more mindful world, we should always be mindful of our own health and well-being too. . On Feb. 24, we're hosting a #MuniMeetup on #ZeroWaste Ways in Self-care, talking about different ways we can add healthier, less wasteful products into our daily personal care regimen, because we owe it to ourselves and the planet.💚 . You'll learn new things with folks from @bodyfoodallnatural @zerobasicsph @gotheartshop, eat healthy snacks, and be among like-minded people who can help re-energize you.

While in New York for a week in mid-July, I visited a few stores for friends who were quick to maximize my trip to NYC. 😜 One of them being a visit to @patagonia for @farmerenzo to trade in his worn out jacket, as part of the company’s #WornWear initiative, which allows you to trade in old or damaged items for store credit. . Although not a Patagonia clothing owner myself, I’ve always been a fan of the brand, so I was more than happy to oblige. Initially, I went to their store in Soho (5th photo) but it was unfortunately closed because it was their staff field day (“Let my people surf,” as founder Yvon Chouinard might say). 😍 . So, I made my way to their Bowery branch (1st photo, with me wearing a beautiful Esmeralda skirt from @anthillfabric, another lovely, eco-ethical clothing brand) where I was met with signs of their new water-saving, low carbon dyeing technology, and their accommodating staff who swiftly facilitated the exchange (or at least as soon as Enzo replied with what item he wanted in exchange, which took a bit of time hence a quick photo op with @yassanchez 😜) . I really didn’t feel I needed anything in the store, so I didn’t proceed to look, but if I ever realize I do need outdoor wear, I believe that money spent on Patagonia would be money well spent. . [P.S. When I was in NYC back in 2015, I also stumbled upon a roving repair caravan of Patagonia’s, making its way through a neighborhood in Brooklyn, mending clothes for free as part of its #WornWear campaign throughout the country. How can you not love these guysss?] . . . . #bcorporation #mindfulbusiness #consciouscommerce #consciouscompany #scp #sdg12 #responsibleproduction #sustainableproduction #lowcarbon #waterfootprint #patagonia #outdoor #outerwear #sportswear #athlethic #ethicalfashion #consciousconsumption #responsibleconsumption #socialenterprise (at Patagonia)

Friyay, and we’ve got our #MuniTravels trip to Negros on our mind! 😊 . More than just another beach, @danjuganisland is a conservation area that practices low volume, low impact tourism, and has the interests of the island’s initial inhabitants in mind: the wildlife. 💙 . And more than just another travel & tour package, MUNI Travels aims to connect a small group of travelers to changemakers in conservation, sustainability, organic agriculture and social enterprise all over Negros Occidental. . Slots for the trip are closed, but if you’ll be in Bacolod or Negros Occidental on March 9, we’d love for you to join our #MuniMeetup on Zero Waste Living in collaboration with @hamsa.earth.consciousness and @freshstartorganic! Sign up for the meetup until March 5 only via the link on the @muni_ph bio! 💚 . . . . #zerowaste #zerowasteph #zerowasteways #danjuganisland #responsibleproduction #responsibleconsumption #ourchoicesmatter #sustainabletourism #responsibletravel (at Danjugan Island)

#MUNIonThis: Find your tribe. Keep on learning. Go back to why. . Yesterday's #MuniMeetup may be over, but change and learning doesn't stop there. In fact, it's only the beginning. :) . Each meetup connects us with more of our like-minded fellow "weirdos" or our tribe of bright-eyed but pragmatic idealists; we're a friendly bunch who just want to keep finding and sharing ways we can live as more conscious inhabitants of this planet. . Each meetup, we come with our questions, but we also come away wanting to know even more because of all the thoughts and ideas other people share in this time and space that we've created for exactly this kind of exchange. . And each meetup, we get validation, both in our personal and professional pursuits, that this is indeed a worthwhile endeavor: to be mindful of our daily decisions, to find ways to keep doing more, and to empower others to live more mindfully as well. . The lessons, connection and empowerment don't stop here, and they will continue on in our upcoming events and endeavors, and before then, we stay connected with the community through our Facebook group (MUNI Community) as well. Come say hi! :) . . . . . #causedrivencreatives #community #zerowaste #mindfulliving #consciousconsumption #responsibleconsumption #responsibleproduction #consciouscompany #findyourtribe #keeponlearning #gobacktowhy

“I realized that our options for zero waste products are not many, and its inaccessibility and elitist reputation make this lifestyle hard to achieve [...] Zero Basics aims to offer the basics that we truly need, that actually work, that don’t create unnecessary waste, and are affordable to all.” - Jana Sevilla, @zerobasicsph founder . We had their products as part of our package-free pop-up for a corporate event last month — and we ran out of their plastic-free, fluoride-free activated charcoal toothpaste and 3-in-1 face wash/mask/scrub, and remineralizing tooth powder! They’ve also got a face serum, deodorant, toner and repellant made with essential oils. . You can learn more about them, their products, meet other like-minded folks and learn other Zero Waste Ways in Self-care at our upcoming #MuniMeetup on January 13, 2-6PM at Penbrothers in Makati! . Sign up via https://muni.com.ph/2017/12/13/muni-meetup-zero-waste-ways-in-self-care-on-jan-13/ to join by January 8 while slots last! 😊 . 📷 c/o @canonphils . . . . #zerowaste #zerowasteph #plasticfree #packagefree #toxinfree #nontoxic #natural #vegan #consciousconsumption #mindfulliving #responsibleproduction #responsiblebusiness
