Sustainable Living by Tina is a brand birthed by Ms. Tina Baron for her accommodation units. Currently, she has 10 listings around Makati and one ten-bed boarding home in Parañaque. Here are our Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Stay in her accommodations.

1.) She Uses Eco-Friendly Products

She has at least 5 eco-friendly brands in most of her properties. They are Ritual PH, Mr.Koala PH, IVO Water Filter, Econest PH and ATOA Toothpaste tabs.

Sustainable Living by Tina uses a plant-based dishwashing sponge (made from natural coconut husk and wood pulp).

E. ATOA Toothpaste Tabs

ATOA Toothpaste Tabs are 100% plant-based products for teeth cleaning. They are free of preservatives, such as parabens, and made from natural ingredients that are good for your teeth and gums. Take one tab, bite and chew it like a gum, sip a little water if it will help, then brush your teeth. It will take a little salty at first, but your teeth will start to feel clean.

2.) She Offers a Variety of Clean Accommodations Depending on Your Budget

In all of her properties that we have stayed in, we are confident to say that cleanliness is topnotch (know more about their vendor, www.helpmeet.com.ph).
