A toner, as the term suggests, sets the skin tone for radiant and glowing skin. It’s a crucial part of anyone’s skincare routine and most of us are guilty about skipping the habit of toning. Little do we realize the benefits of such practice.



Claims:

• A safe and mild acidulous toner that moisturizes and soothes the sensitive and delicate skin healthily and smoothly.
• The fresh toner fills the skin deeply with ample moisture, soothing the skin with Neem Leaf & Flower Extracts.
• Corrects the pH level and condition of the skin, adjusting the oil-moisture balance of the skin healthily.

Ingredients

• Melia Azadirachta (Neem) Leaf Extract: Has antiseptic,  anti-acne and anti-aging properties .
• Melia Azadirachta (Chinaberry) Flower Extract: mosturizes the skin
• Centella Asiatica Extract: strengthening the skin and increasing blood circulation
• Lemon Extract: brigtens  skin
• Green Tea Extract: soothes the skin
• Tea Tree Leaf Oil: minimize the swelling and irritation of the skin

Recommended Usage:This toner is recommended to be used after using chemical peels or So Natural's red tingle serum to maintain the moisture of the skin.

Why should you use a sub-acidic ph formula toner?
After you cleanse your face, it turns the  to an alkaline state. This toner helps you to adjust to the original PH level of your skin thus maintaining the water-oil balance.

So Natural PH5.5 Red Water Toner Review:

My skincare regimen is quite simple and only consists of two steps which is cleaning my face with a gentle soap and moisturizing afterwards. But I have to admit that I often skip on moisturizing my face. I'm not acne-prone but my biggest concern is my dry and flaky skin. When So Natural PH5.5 Red Water Toner was sent to me, I was eager to adjust my regimen.  After using this toner for two weeks, I can say that it did lessen the flaking on my nose area.  It is mild, hydrating and did not break me out. If I needed an extra boost of hydration I just use this as a mask. This toner is not sticky and it is easily absorbed upon application. The packaging is also great as it comes in a transparent bottle and it does not use any artificial dye. The red hue of this toner comes from various plant extracts.

Would I Repurchase this again?
I would definitely repurchase this toner again because it helped hydrate the dry areas on my face.

Where can you buy this?

There will come a point in one’s lives that their wardrobe will be dominated by corporate clothes, seeing that 80% of their days are spent in the office. But this doesn’t mean one has to get stuck with uptight outfits that do not exude style.



Here are wardrobe staples that will keep you looking professional and confident without sacrificing style.



The Classics

Nothing says classy more than the classics. Make sure to have on hand a pair of pumps in black and nude, as these can match any attire and give off a sleek look. Likewise, it’s a must to have a well-fitting little black dress that can easily go from day to night.



A professional tote

A tote bag that’s big and durable enough to fit all the work files and possibly even double as a laptop bag is another OOTD staple. It’s ideal to get this all-time favorite work bag in black to suit any occasion and outfit.







Smartphone with deluxe design
An item that goes hand in hand with one’s nine-to-five is a smartphone. Leave complicated color schemes behind and stick to those in neutral colors. Embrace simplicity with Vivo V17Pro’s models in Knight Black and Crystal White, this Vivo phone sits upon translucent glass and automatically gives off distinctive taste and style. After all, it’s always a good idea to pair excellent function with polished form.



Lightweight blazer
This is the easiest trick in the book if one wants to pull together a professional outfit fast. Secure a piece that’s dressy and corporate at the same time.

These are the staples that one must have in their wardrobe whatever industry they’re in. Stay fashionable and be confident in professional looks that are simple but stands out.

A heartwarming video featuring Jollibee Chickenjoy will remind you why Christmas spent with family is always the best

The SM Store’s Share Movement recently brought the magic of Christmas to the children of the Looc Elementary School as it launched this year’s Share a Toy project.

Away from the bustling city lights, Looc Elementary School lies in the heart of Nasugbu Batangas where it is the second home to hundreds of little children. Every day, these kids go to school and attend their basic education classes. On break times, they spend their time running around the vast school grounds while overlooking the unobstructed scenic view of the nearby mountains. Some also play hide and seek while others happily take turns and play around their little school slide; nothing fancy, it’s a life anchored in genuine simplicity.

But on this special day, there was more fun, laughter and excitement as employee volunteers from The SM Store Lipa and The SM Store Batangas played Santa and transformed the school grounds into a big function- just like a real children’s party. They distributed adorable and cuddly plush toys, clothes and grocery items to the little children of this humble community.




Aside from the toys that the children received, they also experienced the magical and festive spirit of Christmas as they were treated to a day of fun activities such as: face painting, interactive games, magic and puppet shows as well as bubble shows. On the sidelines, there were also hotdog stands and ice cream booths were children enjoyed some delightful treats.

Mikko, one of the grade school students of Looc Elementary School, shared how much he enjoyed the activities and his new stuffed toy. According to him, such treat happens rarely in their school community.




“Masaya po ako sa natanggap ko na regalo. Masaya at maganda din ang program kanina, nagpa face paint pa nga po ako. Minsan lang po kasi may ganito dito sa amin.” Mikko said.




Meanwhile, Luciana Tulagan, Principal of Looc Elementary, also expressed her joy and gratitude for the fun filled day and the value of sharing and gift giving that The SM Store was able to embody through this activity.







“Malaki pong kaligayahan ang naibigay ng SM dito sa mga mag-aaral ng Looc Elementary School. Dahil sa Share A Toy ng The SM Store, maimumulat namin sa mga bata na dapat hindi lang tuwing Pasko ang pagbibigayan, kundi lagi. “ Tulagan said.







Christmas is indeed the most wonderful time of the year with all the bright and sparkly city lights and high ceiling Christmas trees enveloped with enchanting decors. It’s also the best time of the year to spread the joy through gift giving and sharing.




Here at The SM Store, celebrate this joyous season with a generous heart by donating new or pre-loved toys at the Share A Toy booth located at SM City Baliwag, SM City Marilao and SM City San Jose Del Monte until December 31, 2019. For every donation made, shoppers will get a Php 50 discount coupon. Toys collected will be donated to selected SM Foundation beneficiaries.








Share A Toy under the SM Share Movement campaign is one of the ways that The SM Store creates a culture of sharing and purposeful giving together with its customers. Early this year, The SM Store also conducted its Share Shoes and Donate A Book campaigns which gained overwhelming support from its shoppers.

Mandaluyong, Philippines – November 19, 2019 –Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI), the number one motorcycle manufacturer in the country, through Honda Foundation, Inc., the corporate social responsibility arm of the Honda Group of Companies, recently donated motorcycle units to Philippine Red Cross (PC) to help mobilize and support its advocacies.






Last November 7, the Honda Philippines team, headed by HPI President Susumu Mitsuishi and HPI Executive Consultant Armie Reyes, handed over a total of 21 motorcycle units, particularly ten (10) TMX125 Alpha and eleven (11) Wave 110 Alpha, to the board members of the PRC, headed by Senator Richard Gordon, the organization’s chairman and CEO.






The project aims to help the PRC in providing quality life-saving service to the community through Honda motorcycles that can serve as the quickest mode of transportation. The motorcycles will also help enable on-time delivery of services to its beneficiaries and donors, especially during emergency situations. A total of 104 motorcycle units will be donated to PRC distributed to 104 PRC chapters nationwide.
