Equal introduces Naturals Stevia, a sugar alternative at the Shopee Brand Spotlight

Sugars are an important ingredient in both the food we make at home, and the manufactured foods we find on our supermarket shelves.

Protect your Skin this Summer with Beach Hut Suncare Products Available at Shopee

Skin is the largest organ of the body that protects us from different threats in the environment. With its major function to act as a barrier, the skin provides protection from variations in temperature, micro-organisms, mechanical impacts and pressure,  radiation and chemicals; to name a few.

While the skin protects us, we should also protect it as it is the body's first line of defense. We should keep the skin healthy so it functions well. The more we take good care of the skin, the better it takes care of us.

One way of protecting the skin is by using sunblock and sunscreens. Usually, these topical products come in the form of a lotion, gel, foam, or spray. They absorb or reflect some of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation, thus helping to protect against sunburn, reduce the risk for skin cancer, and reduce further skin damage or problems from occurring.

Contrary to the belief of others, these topical products are not only used during summer or when going to the beach or doing outdoor activities. Even when you are inside the house, there is a risk of damaging your skin, with ultraviolet rays from the household lightings. It is therefore advised to use sunblock or sunscreens daily.

The benefits of Legánde Inc.'s Argan Oil

When you hear Argan Oil, you immediately think of beauty, creams, serums, and anything that would enhance the physical aspect of a person's skin. We can’t blame you though. Argan oil has long been associated with beauty products and used to enhance aesthetics and all these claims are true. 

Argan oil is actually a plant oil produced from the kernels of the Argan tree that is endemic to Morocco. In Morocco, argan oil is used to dip bread in and eaten for breakfast or to drizzle on couscous or pasta. Thankfully, someone found another way of using argan oil and this time, it’s for our hair, face, and body.  

Argan oil as a stretchmark saver. For pregnant women, this can be used to prevent the formation of stretch marks or make it less visible with prolonged use because it moisturizes the skin. Stretch marks form because the skin gets stretched to its limit and when it bounces back after giving birth, elasticity is no longer present, leaving marks that look like a cat dragged something in. With the continued use of argan oil, this can be minimized. 

Argan oil can also be used to treat acne because it is a major contributor to skin hydration which is important in acne prevention. If you use it regularly, it will definitely improve the overall look of your skin and help make sure that you don’t get as much acne as you used to. 

Lastly, it contains essential nutrients such as OMEGA 6 and VITAMIN E which helps in promoting healthy skin, hair, and eyes as well as powerful antioxidant properties. This means that it supports the repair and maintenance of healthy skin and increases skin elasticity and hydration in postmenstrual women. 

All these benefits can be found inside the Legánde Argan Oil because it uses pure Moroccan argan oil. You can purchase Legánde’s Argan Oil via www.Legánde.com or visit them at Suite 406, West Tower, Philippine Stock Exchange Center, Ortigas Center, Barangay San Antonio, Pasig City, Metro Manila, Philippines, 1605. Legánde’s Argan Oil comes in three variants: Hair, Face, and Body. You can also check their Facebook Page to send them a message.

Food Influencing amidst COVID19

Food touches our lives in every possible way. It provides comfort, brings us together, unlocks new experiences, and has the power to send us miles away into childhood memories with just one bite.

Food provides nutrients, substances that provide energy for all the functions of the body that are essential to growth, repair, and in keeping the immune system strong.

Being healthy is part of our overall lifestyle as it helps prevent chronic diseases and long-term illnesses. Feeling good about yourself and being healthy also depends on the quality of the food we eat.

Food is not just there to sustain our life and provide our body's needs for growth, development, and function. Food has social and emotional relevance as well. Food keeps families and friends together. It's an expression of our cultural identity and a reflection of a community's unique history, lifestyle, values, and beliefs. Food helps you release tension and stress and it can even heal your soul.

With the many roles food plays in our lives, the rise of food influencers is not surprising at all.

According to the study, it was in 2017 when food influencers started to become the biggest food trend. Since then; foodie influencers, vloggers and bloggers proved that chefs and food critics are not the only ones who could shape their lives around the passion for food. Today, social media has made it so easy to dive into the food culture and share it with the rest of the world.

Food influencers center their content around any subject concerning food and drinks. Most of them started their foodie journey as a fun way to share pictures and comments about the food they ate at home, in fast-food chains, and even from luxurious and lavish restaurants. Then it became their enjoyable pastime rather than something to stress out about. These foodie influencers simply turned their passion for food into something educational and informative for their followers.

One of the coolest parts about being a food influencer is being invited to exclusive events and openings of restaurants and other food establishments. They are invited to try a few of the menu items and talk about them on social media. Attending such exclusive events is a great opportunity to get to know the people who have put all of their energy, love, and pride in the food business and hear about their experiences along the way.

Being a foodie influencer is not all about free food. Food establishments and brands nowadays, tap foodies to feature their business on social media, blogs, or vlogs and they either pay the influencers cash or ex-deal for the collaboration. Additionally, brands or businesses don't only give opportunities to accounts with a high-following or reach. Although large accounts can hold more value because they reach a wider audience, local businesses also look for smaller accounts because they typically can engage better with followers.

Being a foodstagrammer is exciting as it forces you outside of your comfort zone. You constantly stay up to date with the latest trends, newest restaurants, and events going on in your city. You look forward to trying to new foods with friends and family and then sharing it on social media. When you post a photo, you are sending a wave of curiosity through your followers who are looking for new places to eat and your opinionated content influences their decisions. By being updated with a lot of food events and openings you become the go-to-source of your followers for specific recommendations about food and dining.

How will 2020 shape the fate of food influencers?

Amidst the virus, expect more food influencers to shine in their craft as this pandemic has taught us to value and be careful of what we eat, what we put inside the body; as the food and drinks determine how strong our body can fight against the invisible enemy. For sure, they will continue to reinvent the digital landscape so they can continue to thrive in the influencer marketing industry. They will stay relevant as food is what makes us alive and kicking.

Five daily habits to adopt for a healthy life

Adopting a healthy lifestyle is the best way to achieve physical, mental, and emotional health. However, following them can be challenging, especially for those who have formed unhealthy habits over the years.

The key to success is to slowly integrate changes into your life. Once you get into the habit of maintaining healthy practices and making them a part of your routine, you will start to see its benefits to your well-being. To help you get started, Santé listed five daily habits you can start integrating into your daily life.

Get moving

Daily physical activities are essential to maintaining a healthy body and reducing the major risk factors for chronic conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, non-coronary heart disease, hypertension, among others.

Exercising is not only good for the body, but also for the mind. According to FNRI-DOST, exercise helps enhance psychological well-being, improve self-esteem, and maintain motivation.

Simple activities like walking, running, biking, or even stretching, can help maintain weight loss. Committing to regular exercise may be challenging at first, but over time, as you continue doing it, you will start to see the benefits it can provide to your body.


Get more sleep

Sleep, just like exercise and a healthy diet, plays an important role in health and well-being. Loss of quality sleep not only impacts your mood and performance but, can also result to health problems, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity.

Getting enough sleep – seven to eight hours -- poses tremendous benefits to achieve both mental and physical wellness, so you can be at your best every day.


Manage distress

There are many factors in our lives that can lead to distress, such as work, school, traffic congestion, and relationship problems. Distress is a natural reaction and, is the body’s ways of responding to the mental or emotional strain or tension from adverse or demanding circumstances. However, chronic or long-term distress can be a precursor to issues such as depression, anxiety, and even memory loss.

Thankfully, distress is something that can be managed. One good way to deal with it is through a balanced schedule. Try to find time for yourself in between work and social life. This allows you to have a new perspective, so you feel less overwhelmed. Having a social support where you can share your concerns can also help relieve distress. However, it is important to note that everyone is different. Thus, it is essential to experiment and find out what best works for you.

Avoid smoking

It is no secret that tobacco has negative impacts on health. In fact, smoking remains as one of the leading causes of death worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), tobacco kills more than seven million people each year. More than six million of these deaths are the result of direct tobacco use while around 890,000 are caused by second-hand smoking.

By refraining from smoking tobacco, you get to reduce the risk of getting illnesses, such as lung cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, asthma, among others. In addition, you also get to protect the people you love from the dangerous second-hand smoke.


Make better food choices

We’ve all heard of it before, but it’s true—eating healthy is good for you. By making smart, healthy food choices, you help your body get the nutrients it needs every day and lowers your risk to health problems.

The key to eating well is to enjoy a variety of nutritious foods from the five food groups namely: (1) vegetables and legumes/beans, (2) fruit, (3) grain (cereal) foods, (4) lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts and seeds and legumes/beans, and (5) milk, yoghurt cheese and/or alternatives, mostly reduced fat. Consuming foods from every food group help support optimal health and prevent diseases.

To complete your balanced diet, consider drinking natural and organic Santé Barley – available in powder form or in vegetable capsules. Sourced from Santé’s New Zealand farms, Santé Barley is a good source of niacin (vitamin B) that provides numerous benefits to the cardiovascular system. Niacin can help reduce bad cholesterol, lipoprotein (a), and free radical. It also reduces the risk of blood clots. And since it is high in fiber, it can help promote bowel movement for optimal health.

Leading a healthy life may be difficult at first, but if you establish simple daily practices now, then the end result will definitely worth it. Integrating these five daily habits in your life not only makes you feel great about yourself but can also help manage your daily life better. Thus, allowing you to be more productive, so you get to live more and do more.

UN Women celebrates female sustainability champions National Women’s Month 2022

UN Women celebrated 66th session of the Commission on the Status of Women and International Women’s Day 2022 by hosting “Eco-Fluencer", a virtual panel discussion to spotlight female leaders championing sustainability and gender equality in their organizations.

This year, in honour of and the 66th session of the Commission on the Status of Women and International Women’s Day theme, UN Women put a spotlight on the intersectionality of gender inequality and climate change with an event on the theme: “Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow,” underscoring how women and girls continue to bear the burden of climate change while leading empowerment and sustainability efforts across the globe. 

 
Through “Eco-fluencer”, a virtual round-table discussion on female leaders and sustainable businesses, UN Women brought together Filipina champions of sustainability and gender equality to talk about achieving sustainability for women, by women in the Philippines.

The event, hosted by Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEP) Youth Leadership Champion awardee and AGREA CEO Cherrie Atilano, featured ECHOStore CEO, Chit Juan; Messy Bessy CEO, Krie Reyes-Lopez; and Unilever Philippines Head of Digital Commerce, Anna Mangilin, who shared their visions towards a more sustainable future and their advocacy in promoting women’s empowerment in their organizations.


Making sustainability a lifestyle

“When we founded ECHOStore, we wanted to show others that it is easy to live well while we make others live well,” explained Chit Juan. “Since the founders are all women, we wanted to create more opportunities for women producers, suppliers and partners.”

The sustainable lifestyle brand, ECHOStore, led to the creation of its non-profit arm, Empowering Communities with Hope and Opportunities through Sustainable Initiatives (ECHOSI), which supports marginalized groups, women entrepreneurs and cultural communities to create their own products through the sustainability value chain.

“Sustainability should always be reflected in the leadership. In the course of our daily business at Echo Store, we make sure that all of us — from the CEO and board members to the staff — live it, eat it, drink it and see it every day,” said Ms. Juan.



Creating scalable change for women

Messy Bessy, a pioneering local brand the produces eco-friendly personal care and home goods, creates social impact innovation through sustainable products and poverty-alleviation programmes.

“The future of sustainability is in regeneration – being able to replenish and restore what we use up, and building economies and communities that thrive, while allowing the planet to thrive as well,” said Krie Reyes-Lopez.

While creating products that are friendly to the environment, Messy Bessy also empowers underprivileged young women to become self-reliant through education and work opportunities under their work-study programme.

“These past two years, we shifted our focus to scaling and replicating our programmes. Faced with the reality of our own sustainability during the pandemic, we pitched our model to bigger organizations to ensure that we can continue providing opportunities for women in our communities,” said Ms. Lopez.


Building brands that care

As one of the world’s largest and most influential consumer goods companies, Unilever also places sustainability at the core of their business and operations.

“Unilever is driven by a purpose of making sustainable living commonplace,” said Anna Mangilin. “Our brands are our gift to the people, and we make sure that our products are made and created with sustainability in mind. We do this by sourcing materials responsibly and shifting to renewable energy.”

Through their Condition for Greater Online Learning programme, Unilever leveraged their wide network of partners to provide women access to learning and resources at the beginning of the pandemic. “We always pivot our advocacy in order to serve the needs of our communities and consumers. At Unilever, we believe in both equality and equity and that everybody should be given what they need in order to succeed,” said Ms. Mangilin.

“Our focus now should be more on intergenerational well-being,” said Cherrie Atilano. “Business is no longer transactional. More importantly, it should be transformational. It should help transform us to be better, make us more mindful of our business and individual actions, and it is in this way that we can convert sustainability to resiliency in our communities.”

Eco-fluencer was organized by WeEmpowerAsia, a UN Women programme funded by the European Union that aims to increase sustainability and women's participation and leadership in business.
