OLX Possibili-tree Launch

     Christmas is the time of sharing and giving. We all feel 'blessed' during the holiday season because we have received the following: the most awaited 13th, 14th, and 15th month pay, salary bonus, sales commission, new gadget, new car, new house, one or all the material things that's on our wishlist. Don't get me wrong but this is the reality. We all have worked hard for it and we deserve to be rewarded this season. But aside from the material things that we receive, there's another way of making holiday season 'blessed' and meaningful. This is by sharing our blessing to the less fortunate families here in our country.

     I was invited by OLX last December 15 at Gateway Mall to join the launch of their advocacy this holiday season entitled Pay it forward this Holiday season with the OLX Possibili-tree. This Christmas, OLX has partnered with Save the Children in raising funds that will go to programs dedicated to creating better lives for children and their families here in the Philippines. This shared goal has led to the creation of the OLX Possibili-tree. Details of this fund raising and highlights of the event below.

OLX Possibili-tree Launch

     OLX Possibili-tree fund raising campaign was created to to reward ourselves while extending support to others at the same time and the full amount that they will generate from selling these second-hand items will be turned over to Save the Children to assist them with their disaster response programs that are especially focused on education and health.

• Clothes, books, home appliances, bags, office supplies, and gadgets are just some of the quality second-hand items that will be up for sale.  
• Aside from buying or donating items, you can also help spread the word by taking a photo of the OLX Possibili-tree and share it on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram with the hashtag #OLXPossibilitree

Bio Oil 2nd Year Anniversary + 125 ml Bottle Launch

     Some of my friends asked me if I have the so-called batter scars around my abdomen, and my answer was a resounding yes. Even though I splattered anti- stretchmarks lotions and creams on my belly area religiously when I was pregnant six years ago, I still have them and it's really obvious. Filipinas have few options on how to solve this problem way back but with the launched of Bio Oil in the Philippines two years ago, the hopes of improving the appearance of scars and stretchmarks come alive.

     I was invited to Bio Oil's 2nd Year Anniversary last December 1, 2015 at the Power Mac Center Spotlight in The Circuit Makati. It was an 'all white'- themed cocktail event dubbed as “The Beautiful Unveiling : The Bio-Oil Bash”, where the organizers gathered friends from television, print, social media and trade partners in an evening of great food, world-class entertainment and, of course, unadulterated elegance. It was an evening of two celebrations – the Second Anniversary of Bio-Oil in the Philippines and the reveal of a much awaited addition – a bigger bottle at 125mL! More details of the celebration and launch below :)

Bio Oil 2nd Year Anniversary + 125 ml Bottle Launch

     During the launch, we got to know more about Bio Oil- the ingredients, its uses and benefits, and testimonials from the real users. To make the event more memorable and festive, we were entertained by awesome performances of poi and silk rope dance.

Bio Oil 2nd Year Anniversary + 125 ml Bottle Launch

     After the performances, the bigger 125 ml of Bio Oil was introduced to us. According to ASPEN’s President & CEO, Ms. Ace Itchon, “The launch of Bio-Oil’s bigger bottle is our way of thanking our loyal customers for their unwavering support for our product. Their stories have definitely inspired us and validated that we are definitely on the right track. And as we reached our second year in the Philippines, we are more motivated to aim for greater heights in terms of customer satisfaction. Those who just can’t get enough of Bio-Oil will really be happy that the 125mL bottle is now available. With a bigger bottle, there’s a whole lot more of Bio-Oil to enjoy!”

     Bio Oil is one of the skin care products on my wish list for a very long time now. I was planning to purchase a bottle months ago but I set aside my urge to buy one because I'm still using a skin care product that time. Now that I already have a bottle, not just the small 60 ml but the bigger 125 ml- methinks that I now have a bigger chance of improving the appearance of my stretchmarks and other skin problems. So what makes Bio Oil different from other oils, creams, serums, and skin care products in the market?

Bio Oil 2nd Year Anniversary + 125 ml Bottle Launch

• Bio-Oil takes pride in the combination of plant extracts and vitamins suspended in an oil base. Vitamins such as Vitamin A and E and plant extracts including Calendula Oil, Lavender Oil, Rosemary Oil and Chamomile Oil aid in soothing and moisturizing the skin. 
• Let’s not forget the breakthrough ingredient, PurCellin Oil™, which changes the formulation’s overall consistency making it light and non-greasy. 
• All these ingredients work in synergy to help improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, ageing skin and dehydrated skin. 

Bio Oil 2nd Year Anniversary + 125 ml Bottle Launch

     Real users of Bio Oil were also present in the event to witness the unveiling of the bigger bottle. They were all excited to get hold of the 125 ml. One of the notable users of Bio-Oil is Mrs. Philippines Globe 2015 First Runner-up and Mrs. Bio-Oil herself, Mary Ann “Madz” Ternora. According to her, after winning the prestigious pageantry she has become more conscious of taking care of her skin— not just outside but also from within. She acknowledges that Bio-Oil has been a great tool in maintaining her stunning complexion. Her sun-exposed skin improved greatly and she can now flaunt her even skin tone.

Bio Oil 2nd Year Anniversary + 125 ml Bottle Launch

     Everything 'good' is inside the bottle of Bio Oil. I'm excited to try the product as more ladies gave their experiences during the event. Even certified beauty blogger, Kris Lumagui-Botor, and mommy slash entrepreneur, Janice Villanueva raved about the evident effects of Bio-Oil in their own skin with just a few use.

Bio Oil 125 ml is now available in Watsons and leading drugstores nationwide

     Every good thing about Bio-Oil is no surprise at all! No wonder it has won 247 skincare awards and has become the number 1 selling scar and stretch mark product in Australia. The product had also undergone safety assessments in accordance with the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on Cosmetic Product. I'm going to use the product religiously not only in my stretchmarks but also in uneven skin tone in pre-mature wrinkles on my face and will let you know my thoughts about Bio Oil soon!

How Cebuana Lhuillier Helps Micro Entrepreneurs Grow

     Hello dearies! I'm excited to share with you these tips from Cebuana Lhuillier on how they can help micro entrepreneurs grow in their chosen field. I'm a loyal Cebuana Lhuillier customer and I'm proud of that. In my opinion gone are the days when Filipinos would rather choose to seek financial assistance from their relatives because this results to 'utang na loob'. If you have jewelries and other resources that you can bring to a pawnshop, definitely do it. It's more practical these days. Aside from the Cebuana Lhuillier Pawnshop that we all grew up with, Cebuana is now a microfinance institution that will help you in all your bank and finance needs. 

     Most Filipinos dream of becoming an entrepreneur someday and they start early – the student who sells candies or pad paper to his classmates, or the girl who sells stationery paper to her peers. Then the entrepreneurial dream grows bigger to include home-baked goodies, a sari-sari store or small grocery, a fleet of tricyles, and other small-scale businesses.

How Cebuana Lhuillier Helps Micro Entrepreneurs Grow

     The country’s leading microfinancial institution, Cebuana Lhuillier, recognizes this potential and aims to help strengthen the chances of Filipinos succeeding in entrepreneurship through a financial literacy campaign that showcases the available support for micro entrepreneurs today.

     There are Cebuana Lhuillier products that provide for the needs and protect the resources of micro entrepreneurs – from micro insurance products to immediate financial assistance.

Keeping small businesses safe

     One of Cebuana Lhuillier’s micro insurance products is the Alagang Cebuana Plus which offers affordable personal accident and fire insurance. For only P25, the holder is covered from accidental death, dismemberment, and disablement for P20,000, with an additional P5,000 coverage from fire. The coverage is valid for four (4) months. 

    There are other Cebuana Lhuillier micro insurance products that help micro entrepreneurs protect their investments and resources against various risks.

Banking without the bank

     Nowadays, payment options available for businesses, no matter how small, include transactions that do not go through the banks. Social networking platforms have become the new marketplace that offers products ranging from home-baked goodies, imported candies and chocolates, second hand clothes and bags, and almost anything under the sun.

     Micro entrepreneurs are taking advantage of this to grow and reach a wider market. With the help of Cebuana Lhuillier’s 24/7 Pera Padala nationwide operations, they are able to receive payments sent from across the country, in real time, hassle-free and without the need to open an account.

Easy-Access Funds

     No matter how small the business, it is integral to have easy access to funds in the course of the operations. Cebuana Lhuillier offers a nationwide pawning service that can address the need for funds for sudden business expenses. Its high appraisal rates, low interest rates, flexible terms, hassle-free transactions and 24/7 operations for select branches, make Cebuana Lhuillier’s pawning services the perfect partner for micro entrepreneurs.

     Becoming an entrepreneur can be a challenging task, but with the right support from microfinance institutions like Cebuana Lhuillier, it can be a sweet success.
