MIKA SALAMANCA is the New LUXE ORGANIX Brand Ambassador

After a really great week for Mika Salamanca, she's not stopping anytime soon as she gets signed with beauty brand LUXE ORGANIX. The event was graced by GMA AVP for Talent Management Mr. Vic Del Rosario, Ms. Anne Puno the AVP for Talent Sales Branding and Marketing, Ms. Joy Marcelo the FVP for Sparkle, Mr. Eugene Yap and Ms. Diane Yap the CEO and President of Luxe Organics.

Mr. Eugene Yap says "It's her authenticity that made us have her as our endorser. We are a brand that remains affordable but effective. She is inspiring and has influence, this is an exciting partnership"

Mica says "I always see them in stores and I personally use their product. I didn't really have to make an effort because I knew, one day, that I would be part of this brand. I am super happy because a lot of brands approached me but this one works for me. I like the cleansing balm, but I'm a fan of the Aloe Vera and Rose Scented products that they have. I need to show them my skin, and that's because of LUXE ORGANIX."

When asked about the things she could suggest for those starting skincare or makeup, she says "Before you even put on something that would cover your skin, you have to make sure it's hydrated. I get little breakouts when I use things that are not in a gel form so Luxe Organix is the perfect solution for me."

She also suggested to use the spray on Sunscreen because we need to always look young. Sun damage certainly isn't a part of that, so she gets points for choosing that among the products that they have.

Luxe Organix is available in Watsons, leading stores and online too.

That Nordic Spirit Flavor City Party was Epic!

I've been partying non-stop and gracing different clubs every weekend for years now. While I'm still in the mood for it, some of my peers are all trying to embrace family life and adulting, which is not a bad idea. I on the other hand have not stopped, and I am so glad about it. It brings me endorphins, and I love it. 

I was invited a little over a week ago to Nordic Spirit's Flavor City party at the POP UP place in Katipunan Avenue. They're a brand of t0bacco free nic0tine pouches that are designed for no fuss, very discreet use. I used to sm0ke occasionally but stopped cold turkey about a decade ago and things like these weren't available in the PH market. It's a Swedish brand and available in different flavors like Fresh Frost, Lush Red, Lush Crimson, and Green Frost. It's used by tucking under the lip, left or right side cheek and could last you around 40mins. They didn't encourage using it but I did, and I think it's a pretty good alternative. They also had several booths and activities to try out, so it was fun to see all that happen.

Anyway, the party was sick because Denise Julia and Sam Concepcion performed on stage. Crowd was quite young but their music was universal. I loved what they dished out including the DJ who was there til the wee hours of the morning. Thanks for the epic party Nordic Spirit!

MIKA SALAMANCA Becomes Stellar Face of J Spray Fragrances

 

This isn't the first time we've had the opportunity to meet Mika Salamanca. Luckily we've had the chance to talk with her during post PBB stints, several endorsements, and now for J Spray Fragrances. They're a home grown brand that's involved in beauty, cosmetic and personal care products. She is their first ever endorser which Mika felt so honored about. 

Mika says "If a brand trusts me like this, I do get encouraged. This huge brand trusted me to be the face of their product and it's something that reminds me, to always be a good person. It's not just my image that I have to think of, it has to be all the brands that put their trust on me too. I am so flattered when these things happen. Now that I'm more matured, I grow, I make sure that when I say something in social media, it's the truth from me. I make sure I believe in my statements because in the future, when things get magnified, I can stand by it."

She also shares their upcoming projects coming out next year... she says "I've been looking forward to do Hotel88 which will show next year. It will be shot this month as we're going to be in a locked in taping for it. I'll be with the other housemates in the show so I'm so excited to do it because it wouldn't be awkward since we've been together inside the PBB house. I would like to see how our dynamics work now that we'll be together in a series. I've already done the workshops with them, but this is real life so I want to see what will happen. We need to talk, deliver lines and learn from each other." 

She also says that when someone compares them with other housemates, she gets flattered because they're both busy and established, she thinks it's a matter on how you see it. She believes that people have their own preference. About her new book "Lipad" she mentions how she's so thankful receiving a lot of good reviews about it. She lifts it all up to God. The one she remembers was in National Children's Hospital where a cancer patient thanked her for giving him a book. When she gave the copy, he told her that he will treasure it and remember her. She told him not to do that but just remember the lessons in the book she gave.  

Here's the press conference on video:

 

 

Mika loves the scents because they've got a lot of variants. They've got ones named "Glamour", "Admire" and "Charm", or "I Do", "Be With You", or "Love Fantasy". They also have the pastel themed "Everyday With You", "Uptown Girl" and "Mi Amore", and for the boys "Blue Water", "Aqualic" and "Wave" or the Constellation themed "Prince Charming", "Boy Next Door" (which Mika wanted Papa P to wear) and "Rockstar". These are all available on online shopping platforms and their Facebook account JSprayOfficial. 

Congratulations Mika! Here's to more of these in the future!

SISTERS Welcome New Sis MEGAN YOUNG

She's still so beautiful and has a certain glow after giving birth to a baby boy, she's the one and only Miss World 2013 Megan Young. She is the new Sis of popular feminine hygiene brand Sisters manufactured by Megasoft Corporation.

Megan says "If I'm going to be honest, I didn't get to take care of myself after giving birth. Mikael was there when I was getting overwhelmed, and that reassurance from him got all my Mom guilt out of my system. Sometimes you just want to take care of everything but we have to learn to share the responsibilities. Now I get to taking care of myself and my baby. I always say I am a strong follower, but when he got injured I saw how I was able to lead. Sisters is a brand I truly believe in, and use too. We're happy to share this to other folks, my management knows about it."

She adds "My last project was Royal Blood, but I'm excited to take on new projects because now we can do content, a show with all of us together. For now there will be one parent with Leon, we want him to grow extra happy. We're mostly at home taking care of Leon, we have minimal time to go out but plan to travel with everyone soon because my baby already has his passport"

Megan wasn't briefed yet but so eager to be part of the school visits they do to teach those of age about feminine hygiene. She knows through experience how they often are too shy to be seen using pads which is a normal occurrence. This is also part of their efforts on Sister's 25th year anniversary. You will see Megan on activations, posters and commercials on their socials and TV.

Congratulations Megan on getting this endorsement and for baby Leon!
