Saying "Yes" to Beauty Inclusivity: Inspiring Stories of Women who Embraced their Individuality through Livestreaming

Tweet

Coming to terms with yourself, flaws and all—and in the age of social media, no less—can be difficult. When unrealistic beauty standards are reinforced everywhere you look, self-acceptance doesn’t always come easy.

As a top beauty and personal care company in the country, Unilever acknowledges its role in championing a new era of beauty. Through projects such as Dove My Hair, My Say and Real Beauty, Unilever resolves to make beauty a positive and inclusive experience for all. As its next step towards celebrating the beauty in diversity, Unilever launches Yes to Positive Beauty on Shopee this May 17-19. The campaign aims to encourage Filipinos to embrace their unique beauty, support inclusivity, and say “Yes” to Positive Beauty. 

Need a little inspiration saying “Yes” to Positive Beauty yourself? Follow two Shopee livestreamers’ journeys to self-love below:

Bianca Umali

Bianca Umali calls her foray into livestreaming ‘a leap of faith.’ A year later after taking the plunge, however, Bianca shares that pushing the boundaries of her capabilities was one of the best things she’s ever done for herself. “Embracing yourself, I've realized, is not about staying in one place. It's also about branching out to the different facets of your being.”

Bianca admits that she used to hate her chinita eyes and longed for double eyelid surgery. Now that she recognizes that she does not have to follow unrealistic beauty standards, Bianca is determined to create authentic content as a public figure. She frequently goes live sans makeup. “My viewers can see me raw and unedited, and in turn, they get to see me as a real human being. They’ve seen me with dark circles, blemishes, and puffiness.”

One simple step towards embracing yourself, according to Bianca, is to filter your media consumption. “Our self-image only gets shattered when we are made to believe we do not measure up. Fight this belief by being in command of what you take in, and you will always see yourself as beautiful.”

Mary Grace Khu

Mary Grace Khu used to believe that only people with model-esque features could land jobs as on-cam talents. She eventually realized that her shape, size, and skin tone shouldn’t hinder her from going after her dreams, and thereafter snagged a job in the industry.

As a public figure, MG still feels self-conscious from time to time about strangers’ opinions, but for the most part she has found a supportive community in her viewers. She credits this to her authenticity and drive to advocate self-love online. “I am taking this as an opportunity to share my experiences and stories. I will always be real about it, as it would be hard to sustain if you're trying to pretend or be like someone else.”

MG also believes that beauty isn’t one dimensional. “I see beauty in a holistic manner: being healthy, having a positive mindset, and being confident in my own skin.” She adds that it is through one’s personality that true beauty radiates, and so she endeavors to bring sunshine to others by spreading positivity through her content.

BRIA Homes adapts to millennials’ growing demand for affordable housing

Tweet

Millennials, that generation born roughly between 1980 and 1995, used to be stereotyped as young adults that dislike roots, are constantly on the move, like to job-hop, and blow their savings on travel, gadgets, and other trappings of the good life.

You may now banish these labels. More recent studies and considerable anecdotal evidence suggest that millennials are adapting well to the exigencies of the times. With restrictive quarantines and travel bans in place, go-getting millennials are putting their money where their smarts are—the thriving local property market. 

And now real estate industry experts assert that because—not in spite of—the pandemic, this goal-driven, ambitious young generation is liking what they see. Lured by the affordable housing options and innovative features offered by Philippine property developers, millennials are earnestly looking into purchasing their dream homes—now rather than later.

Quite expectedly, leading real estate developer BRIA Homes is right up there offering their superior-quality, affordable house and lot units and condominiums as homes of choice for this generation of property seekers. 

BRIA Homes’ residential units have features designed to suit millennials’ lifestyles: layouts that optimize living spaces and easy access to essential establishments such as hospitals, government agencies, offices and workplaces, transport centers, and retail hubs. BRIA has likewise been quick to respond to this market’s demands for optimized residential spaces that encourage flexible work arrangements.

Because of the proximity of BRIA projects to major roads and highways, these also perfectly serve young professionals or entrepreneurs whose work or business compel them to commute or drive every day. 

All BRIA communities are kept safe and secure by gated entrances and exits, 24/7 CCTV coverage, solar lighting at night, and perimeter fences. A competent property management staff sees to residents’ property-related needs and ensures everyone’s adherence to the current health and safety protocols. BRIA’s 24/7 digital customer relations management is likewise on hand to assist homeowners. 

To fulfill the millennials’ much-vaunted need for work-life balance, BRIA communities across the country offer recreational facilities such as basketball courts, multi-purpose halls, and lush landscaped spaces for casual strolls. 

As for residents’ and homeowners' utmost productivity and remote learning needs, BRIA Homes has set up reliable Internet connections across all its fifty-plus projects nationwide. Thus, BRIA homeowners are spurred to use digital options in processing local and international transactions through BRIA’s partner banks. To help keep themselves safe and stress-free, they can also do cashless payments for online shopping and food deliveries with All Easy, GCash, and PayMaya.

To sustain the momentum, BRIA Homes has come up with more options to meet millennials’ growing demand for affordable housing. For instance, BRIA’s newest condominium brand, Astra Vertical Villages, is ideal for hardworking and ambitious millennials who wish to invest in properties. Located in vibrant suburban cities such as General Trias in Cavite, and Calamba in Laguna, Astra condominiums are bright alternatives to dreary residential tower blocks seen in big cities. 

Featuring BRIA trademarks such as stylish design, strategic location, and modern amenities, units in Astra Vertical Villages come with a ‘starter pack’ price tag—perfect for aspirational young Filipinos with big dreams and busy schedules. 

To check out BRIA projects, prospective residents can simply head to BRIA’s website for 360 virtual tours or inquire online through the BRIA Facebook page. They can also make online reservations for a BRIA house or Astra condominium unit.

BRIA Homes is a subsidiary of GOLDEN MV Holdings, Inc., one of the largest real estate companies in the country. BRIA Homes is primed to bring quality and affordable house and lot packages and condominium units closer to ordinary Filipino families. This is the goal that drives every single employee in the company, for which the ultimate fulfillment is seeing a client happily moving into BRIA’s homes.

“Our commercial activities began with 15 cities na sinimulan natin doon sa Cebu at sa Davao with our ongoing CSR program of providing free service to our front liners in ten cities as one of the pillars of our launch. Last April 16, we added 21 more cities. In just another two weeks, 18 cities were added, reaching as far north as Nueva Ecija in Central Luzon for a total of 54   cities.”

Prior to DITO’s NCR launch, DITO had already opened close to 2,000 stores in various areas nationwide, including four DITO Stores in Cebu and Davao as well as online via Shopee and Lazada.

“Network optimization has been happening at full speed. Tower and infrastructure roll-out have continued unabated despite the pandemic to ensure that our subscribers numbering close to half-a-million Filipinos continue to enjoy top notch experience --- speed and service we truly deserve,” Mr. Uy further mentioned.

The announcement was greeted by Department of Information and Communications Technology Secretary Gregorio Honasan II and National Telecommunications Commission Commissioner Gamaliel Cordoba with much satisfaction as they spoke of the hard work and partnership with DITO to make the dream of a third telco possible.

Eco-friendly ways to save money

Tweet

 

Save money while helping the environment along the way.

There’s a common misconception that going green can be expensive, but that is not always the case. Making a few environment-friendly changes to your lifestyle may be more cost-efficient in the long run. AXA Philippines, one of the country’s leading insurance providers, is encouraging you to try these energy-saving tips:  

Use reusable water containers. It takes a tremendous amount of energy and resources to produce plastic bottles. Not only do they have a large carbon footprint, but they are also ruining the ocean and killing sea life when disposed of improperly. By having your flask, jug, or tumbler with you all the time, you can just simply fill your bottle with potable water from tap -- no need to spend on single-use plastic water bottles when on the go. 

Go paperless. If you have the option to go paperless for items like your bills, documents, and insurance policies, go ahead and choose that option. This will save a ton of trees, cut down on pollution, reduce transport, and even save water. What’s more, you can control the clutter in your house, and you can also easily access your documents anytime and anywhere through your gadgets. You save on storage space—win-win.

Switch to energy-saving light bulbs. You can instantly make your homes eco-friendly by switching all your lights to energy-saving light bulbs. Some of the great options you can consider are LED lights or compact fluorescent lights. Up front, they might be more expensive than the regular light bulb, but they will last much longer. 

Line-dry your clothes. Using the dryer to dry your clothes may be quicker, but it’s one of the home appliances that uses a lot of energy. It also has the tendency to shrink your clothes or ruin the fabric. Your best solution is to line-dry your clothes. Not only are you saving on electricity, but you’re also preserving the quality of your clothes, making them last longer. At the same time, you’re saving money from not constantly buying new clothes. 

Use eco bags when shopping. These days, more and more retail establishments are charging customers for shopping bags. This is part of their initiative to encourage customers to bring their own eco-bags instead of using plastic bags; thereby lessening plastic waste. Avoid this extra expense by bringing your own eco bags. They’re stronger than the ordinary plastic or paper bags, which means you can use them over and over again when shopping. 

Reduce, reuse, recycle. These three “R’s” are great initiatives that can make a big difference for the environment. Before throwing something away, think of creative ways to give it a new life. For example, use plastic bottles as plant pots or, instead of throwing away scratch paper, maybe you can make art out of it. Also, reduce your packaging consumption by buying goods in bulk and reusing materials, such as reusable grocery bags, mason jars, or microwavable containers to store food. Think before you throw! 

At AXA, we try our best to do our share in helping save and care for our planet by implementing “Go Green” initiatives such as the use of tissue paper recycled out of office paper waste. We also recently implemented an eco-friendly switch to minimize physical document touch points. The company is promoting contactless delivery as it transitioned to fully paperless issuance of statements and notices since December 1, 2020. Customers may view an electronic copy of their policy when they register and log in to the MyAXA web portal or via the Emma by AXA PH app. Download the app for free via the Google Play or App Store or at bit.ly/emmabyaxa.
