Unique and Special "Menu of Services" at Kitchenails: A Fresh Toss on Hand and Foot Care

Tweet

Loving yourself and taking care of yourself is something fundamental. Your decision to pamper yourself is just a reflection of whatever you’re feeling inside.

After all, you work hard, enjoy with a treat every now and then. Whether you’ve achieved a long-term goal that you have been working toward or simply had the most productive day ever, just give yourself a “Me Time” , pampering yourself,  you’re worth it and that you deserve it.

Getting a mani-pedi makes me feel instantly better. When my nails are done I feel so much better – It's the little things that make me so happy, and you literally feel polished, feeling beautiful inside and out!

Last my"Me Time", I experienced and enjoyed a unique pampering myself at the Kitchenails, with the chefs! 

Kitchenails is a fresh new concept in hand and foot care. Kitchenails located at the Robinson Galleria had a grand opening and blessing last July 28, 2018. Thanks to Mplify’s Miguel Dela Rosa, KitcheNails Marketing and PR Consultant, organized the the grand opening and give us the opportunity to experience the fresh toss on hand and foot care.

It offers a wide variety of flavorful scrubs, nail polish and oils that are organic and hypoallergenic. Its “Menu of Services” are a play on words associated with food like Honey Glaze for Paraffin Wax and Aperitif for Massage. The most recommended service would be a “Chef Specials” complete pampering service, choose your own flavor (Lemon Square, Candied Oranges, Spiced Plum Pannacotta, Verry Berry Muffin and Key Lime Pie).

At the grand opening of Kitchenails at Robinsons Galleria, Ortigas, personalities were Samie Anne Legaspi, Miss Lumiere International 1st Runner Up, Cindy Madduma, Miss Scuba International 2015 & Miss Scuba Philippines Pageant Owner, Ruel Rada, Mr Philippines, GMA Cavite, Atty.Minnie Bautista-Aldave, Atty Mark Aldave, Myrna Dela Rama, Operations Manager, Miguel De La Rosa, Marketing Consultant.

Kitchenails  started on December 2015 in Alabang Town Center. An innovation from a classic nail salon, Kitchenails added scents, flavors and ingredients from your mom’s and/or grandma’s kitchen. Month after, it opened a branch in Trinoma, Ayala Mall’s premiere mall in North Metro Manila. #ColorTheSouth for Alabang, South of the Metro, #ColorTheNorth for Trinoma became its hashtag in all of its social media accounts. #FeedYourSenses, is the mission of Kitchenails, to provide the overall experience of a nail salon with a home kitchen approach that would tickle all your senses. 

After two years of operations, Kitchenails is now open for franchise and looking for more locations in the Metro and key cities in country. Last July 28, 2018 opens its first franchise store located at Robinsons Galleria, one of the premiere mall in Ortigas Center. Its official hashtag #ColorTheEast, as the mall is located in the boundaries of Quezon City, Mandaluyong and Pasig, the eastern part of the metro. It would be in the newly revamp East Wing of the mall along with all other health and wellness stores.

"A concept nail salon made impact to me as a client much more as franchisee. I have always looked up to the dedication given by the owners and team members of Kitchenails. I know that with proper guidance and support, I will grow with them as embark on this journey to business success. Being part of a family is what they've made me feel even from the start and that alone assures me that I have made the right decision." Atty. Minnie Aldave, Kitchenails Robinsons Galleria Franchisee.

Kitchenails are located in Alabang Town Center (UGF Main Mall, 815-6350), Trinoma (3F Near Mindanao Parking, 625-2804) and Robinsons Galleria (Level 3, East Wing).

HMD Global brings accessible mobile communication technology with new Nokia phones

PHILIPPINES, 31 JULY 2018 — Today’s fast-paced, digital-driven world may connect and empower people in new and exciting ways not known nor explored in the past. But it also creates a gap for those who find it difficult to keep up with the latest technology. Sometimes some find new technologies and devices inaccessible and complicated, causing them to be left out of the digital world.

HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, brings reliable mobile phones that deliver not only innovation but also technology with a purpose—technology that is accessible to everyone.

Shannon Mead, country manager of HMD Global Philippines, said:

“We make sure that at HMD Global, we provide mobile experience customized to the needs and style of our diverse markets. More than the promise of innovation, we create technology that is accessible and reliable without compromising premium quality. The Nokia 1 and Nokia 8110 4G are innovations designed to optimize experience with functions and features that can keep up with any pace.”

Nokia 1: The complete first smartphone

Designed for first-time smartphone users, the Nokia 1 is equipped with a quad-core processor, front and rear cameras, 4G connectivity and dual-SIM support, elevating the feature phone experience in an accessible smartphone package.

With the Nokia 1, stepping up to smarter mobile experience has never been easier. Packed in a refreshingly familiar design and promising the reassuring quality of a Nokia phone, the Nokia 1 also brings back Xpress-on covers, allowing users to personalize their phones through a range of playful, vibrant colors.

Running on the latest Android Oreo™ (Go edition), a version of Android for devices with 1GB RAM or less, the Nokia 1 comes with a new range of apps from Google designed to run faster while consuming less data. With fewer pre-installed and much lighter apps on Android Oreo™ (Go edition), you get 2x more available storage out of the box.

Nokia 8110 4G: The hero sidekick

Whether it’s to minimize the daily digital buzz or to find the perfect companion phone that’s ready to take on everyday challenges, the Nokia 8110 delivers more than an ordinary feature phone can offer. This newest member of the Originals family brings a familiar and easy-to-use classic interface with an intuitive tactile keypad and slide-to-answer and end-call features, plus an addictive upgraded Snake game.

The Nokia 8110 is a durable phone that delivers crystal-clear VoLTE calls. With its 4G connectivity, users can access apps such as Google Assistant, Google Maps, Google Search, Facebook and Twitter while performing basic tasks such as sending and receiving emails, importing contacts, and syncing calendar with Outlook and Gmail. The Wi-Fi capability lets Nokia 8110 serve as a portable hotspot, letting you share internet connection with up to 10 devices at once.

Reliability amid changing times

Packed with all the qualities expected of a Nokia phone, the Nokia 1 and Nokia 8110 4G are breakthroughs of accessible technology focused on elevating user experience. The phones’ design and performance emphasize durability and reliability to cater to the needs of their target users.

The Nokia 1 is available in Warm Red and Dark Blue while the Nokia 8110 4G comes in Traditional Black and Banana Yellow. Both come at an affordable price of PHP3,990.
