Get the shopping spree of your dreams! PLDT Home Rewards gives away five P100K shopping sprees at SM!

Tweet

The year may be almost over but there’s still plenty of time for those fresh starts and simple upgrades. From small pieces that spark joy to major furnishings that you’ve longed to have, it’s easy to find inspiration online to refresh your home, your wardrobe, and even your lifestyle, especially if you have a fast and reliable broadband connection from PLDT Home. It’s even easier to achieve these goals with the return of the PLDT Home Rewards Grand Giveaway promo.

This October, PLDT Home Rewards is giving away five (5) P100,000 SM Gift Cards to lucky members. All you have to do is register your PLDT Home account to the PLDT Home Rewards program and make the most out of your dream shopping list with these five tips.

1. Have fun with your furnishings.

Do your furniture and home accessories still spark joy?

Furnishings are the backdrop of our lives, not just pieces to sleep or sit on. Soft furnishings such as curtains, linens, and throws are not just there to make our lives comfortable; they also complete our home and highlight our style.

From color blocks or patterns to mix and match, fabric upholstery or leather, wood or plastic, single or king size, the SM Store’s Home Department has a wide variety of home furnishings that suit different budgets and styles.

Tip: When buying furniture pieces like a sofa, make sure you measure your space and get the scale right. To visualize it, put masking tape on the floor to outline the space where the piece will go and measure it. This way, you won’t need to ask yourself when you’re in the store, “Is this going to fit?”

2. Update your wardrobe.

As pandemic restrictions ease, most people are back at the office and are socializing too, so now just might be the best time to update your wardrobe with SM’s Women’s Fashion. Choose clothes that go from day to night as you go from boardroom meetings to bar hopping with friends.

Tip: For women, a solid-color tailored blazer shows you mean business at work even if you have a soft or printed fabric blouse inside. Remove the jacket and you’re ready to go partying in the Metro. For men, time to add some color into your lives whether it’s baby pink or light lavender. Pair it with jeans, leather shoes and a smart jacket, and you’re sure to turn heads.  

3. Be inspired in the kitchen.

Your personal design style extends to your kitchen, too. Should you go porcelain, stone, or clay? Crystal or glass? It depends on your budget but consider their use as well.

Don’t save the expensive wares for guests. Buy to use! Choose cookware that will inspire the inner chef in you, dinnerware that will give your meals a little more oomph, and storage to start organizing things around the house.

Tip: Always choose quality.  These are some of the most used pieces in your home, so make sure that apart from looking good, your dinnerware and flatware can withstand frequent washing and microwaving without fading or looking dull.

4. Treat the kids.

For two years, children were confined at home and couldn’t see their friends. To help them renew their social skills, throw a weekend afternoon party. Shop for toys or games they can use at Toy Kingdom. Better yet, if it’s your child’s birthday, invite their friends and the neighborhood kids to help them get reacquainted or make new connections.   

Tip: Children are easy to please. Make party favors for them to take home. It doesn’t have to be expensive. You just need to be creative.

5. Be active again!

Start your fitness journey by shopping for new exercise gear at SM’s Sports Central. From shoes to shorts, yoga pants to gym bags, you’ll find them at the SM Store. You may also check out the Electronics department for gadgets to make your active life more enjoyable—Bluetooth earphones for the gym, drones for your long runs outdoors, and watches to track your health.

Tip: One of the most common reasons people stop exercising is that they get bored with their routine. Mix it up! Find an exercise buddy, don’t stick to one sport, find different places to run or bike or play volleyball.

A FREE P100,000 shopping spree at the SM Store should help you try out new things and start that big reinvention. Find out how you can win by signing up for PLDT Home Rewards today.

 

foodpanda supports Avon’s #NormalForMe campaign on Breast Cancer Awareness

Tweet

 

Here’s how you can participate in this year’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month with Avon and foodpanda.

About 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. In 2019, Filipina women were even more vulnerable as it was estimated that the Philippines has the highest prevalence of the disease in Asia, and ninth highest in the world. The following year, breast cancer was still one of the top 2 most common among Filipino women with majority diagnosed at advanced stages.

This is why every year during October, the world observes Breast Cancer Awareness Month with global beauty brand Avon as one of top supporters of the cause to encourage more people to know more about this disease and be more proactive in regular self-checks that can help detect preliminary symptoms.

This year, Avon continues this worthy cause with a global campaign encouraging everyone to discover what’s #NormalForMe and by extension, inviting partner brands, including leading online quick commerce platform foodpanda, to raise awareness and raise funds on behalf of the Philippine Cancer Society. The campaign also encourages women to normalize regularly checking their breast for any changes that could potentially cause breast cancer.

“We are grateful to Avon for reaching out to us and trusting us to become one of their brand partners to promote this advocacy. We are more than happy to offer our support, even in the simplest way, to reach more audiences and raise awareness,” says Daniel Marogy, foodpanda Philippines Managing Director.

“For the last 30 years, we’ve committed to this cause to raise funds and awareness to help more women to join the initiative to battle breast cancer not just for themselves, but also for their loved ones,” shares Avon Head of Communications for Philippines & APAC, Marion Limlengco. “This is why we’ll always push for everyone to know the signs, know the risks, and know how to take action because early detection will help save lives.”

Pink it up with foodpanda

foodpanda is offering a special and exclusive discount for every checkout from their app starting October 15 to 31, 2022 using the code “AVONFP50”.

A portion of the amount of every order will be donated to Avon’s partner beneficiary, the Philippine Cancer Society, who is also offering consultation should you spot a lump or need more help in screening your breasts and pecs.

Apart from this, Avon’s #NormalForMe campaign has also prepared activities to raise funds on the campaign which include donation drives, free clinical breast examinations and dedicated fundraising products from Avon.

Download the foodpanda app now and support Avon’s #NormalForMe campaign.  For more information about this campaign, please visit bit.ly/avonbreastcancerpromise.

Discover how these inspiring local CEOs built their fab business on Shopee

Tweet

Founders of Pinoy beauty brands Jenna Essence and ISHIN talk about their entrepreneurial journey and what they’re offering beauty and skincare enthusiasts at the Beauty Budol Sale on Shopee this October 23 to 25

Starting your own business is no easy task– more so when this business is focused on beauty and health products. Not only do you need to have a keen eye on what’s trending, you also need to ensure that your items are effective and safe for your customers, and that ultimately builds a loyal community that keeps on using your products. Learn how two proudly local beauty brands Jenna Essence and ISHIN built their business and made waves among Filipinos in the last few years.

Jenna Reyes, the hardworking She-EO of Jenna Essence

Jenna had humble beginnings before starting Jenna Essence. Her entrepreneurial experience began at an early age as a “Batang Quiapo”, with her younger years spent helping out her grandma sell trinkets in front of Quiapo church. Growing up, Jenna was known among her peers as strong and hardworking, as she juggled different jobs to make ends meet for her family. She began to sell beauty products on a whim to supplement their household income, not knowing this would turn her life around.

Jenna was encouraged by her suppliers to start her own beauty brand when they saw her determination to sell their products on social media and through word-of-mouth. After testing the market with a few products, she finally hit her stride with the trending Cocoberry Beauty Essentials. Her business flourished even more when she partnered with Shopee to bring her distributors on the platform. Today, Jenna Essence has expanded to 500 resellers nationwide.

The true beauty of Jenna does not lie in her products, but in the way she runs her business with a strong sense of purpose. “For me, ang business ko ay hindi lang para sa akin, ito din ay para sa mga kapwa ko na gustong makagaan sa buhay [the business is not just for me, it’s also for those who want to have a better life], ” says Jenna.

Beauty enthusiasts can check out Jenna’s Cocoberry Soap at Shopee’s Beauty Budol Sale. Made from coconut oil, this soap has positive reviews on its effectiveness to moisturize dry skin, sweet scent on use and smooth texture that’s easy on the skin. This unique soap helps soften and remove dead skin cells to make your skin look fresh and glowing.

Check out more of Jenna Essence’s beauty essentials on Shopee this Beauty Budol Sale and get up to 25% off on top products.

Shirleen and Miguel Bautista, the power couple of ISHIN

Shirleen and Miguel did what most of us aspire to– they chased their dreams and followed through. Despite both working high-level corporate jobs, they still felt that they could do something more. Both had an affinity for entrepreneurship and knew that this was the path for them.

By chance, the couple came across a hot selling ointment among locals in one of their trips abroad and thought of selling it in the country. With this item, they became successful distributors in the country and gained international recognition that brought them in talks with a Japanese manufacturer who shared its formula which became the birth of ISHIN. By placing their products on Shopee, Shirleen and Miguel made the most of the benefits of the app such as its wide user base and monthly campaigns.

ISHIN became a popular brand among Filipinos who aimed for a healthy and glowing complexion with its unique glutathione formula. For Shirleen and Miguel, their brand goes beyond giving Filipinos premium yet affordable beauty products. “We consider ISHIN to be a heart-based business, not just because of the reasonable prices we have but also how we want our success to pass to our distributors as well,” says Shirleen.

Shoppers who feel inclined to support local businesses with a heart can check out ISHIN at Shopee’s Beauty Budol Sale and get the ISHIN Advanced White. This item is made from a Japanese-tested formula with a unique blend of pearl powder, glutathione, NAC, and collagen that nourishes your skin for a healthy look. Users can also get premium glutathione at up to 20% off and up to 25% off flash deals on ISHIN products when they shop at the Beauty Budol Sale.

From October 23 - 25, shoppers can enjoy up to 90% off and limited-time deals on health and beauty products from local beauty brands such as Jenna Essence, ISHIN and more, only at Shopee’s Beauty Budol Sale. Click here to know more.
