Modess Girl Talk

                                                                   “GIRL, TALK”

MODESS® Gives Young Girls the Chance to

Make Their Move and Break Stereotypes

Manila, 30 May 2013 – To culminate the nationwide campaign, “Your Voice, Your Move,” MODESS® Philippines unveiled at The Mind Museum in Bonifacio Global City a special edition publication called “Girl, Talk” – a compilation of messages for the country’s leaders from teen girls who were too young to vote in the recent elections. The clincher? These books will be delivered to the offices of our senators for their serious consideration.

“Sana bigyan nila ng pansin ang mga kabataang nasa kalye,” said Joyce.
“Hopefully we can have enough equipment like books, electric fans, and desks in every school,” said Yssa.
Deannie says: “Lahat ng sinasabi ng running senators ay importante sa tao. So, sana lahat din ay galing sa puso.”

Common themes ranged from responsible leadership, to improving education, to cleaning the Pasig, and caring for the sick and malnourished. If the breadth and depth of the youth’s comments collected in this book are any indication, then today’s youth are made of more serious stuff than we think.

“It is unfortunate that young girls are commonly viewed by adults as self-absorbed, indifferent and shallow. But MODESS® found an eye-opening insight about teenagers that challenges the way adults see them. We found that teens actually want to do big and meaningful things. What hinders them from moving and making that impact is the limited perception that society has of them,” explains Nikka Arcilla, MODESS® Assistant Brand Manager and Campaign Lead. “We at MODESS® believe that young girls have a huge potential to make a meaningful difference in the world around them. They just need a little nudge and the opportunity to make their move.”

There are roughly eight million teenage girls in the Philippines, comprising almost 10% of our population. These eight million girls represent a potential eight million innovative ideas that can benefit the country.

Sangobion Promotes Iron Deficiency Awareness with Salaminkera

The body needs specific vitamins and minerals to stay in tip-top condition. Although needed in minute quantities on a daily basis or in larger doses in certain instances, these essential substances are what make the system’s inner workings remain in perfect balance.

According to the World Health Organization, iron deficiency anaemia is the most common nutritional disorder in the entire world, particularly among women and children. In fact, three out of every five women of reproductive age are prone to iron deficiency, although they may not necessarily be aware of their body’s iron shortage.

Ironis a necessary element for optimum health. It is needed to replace blood loss during menstrual cycles, cure bouts of dizziness caused by anemia, correct weariness and fatigue, help gain more focus & concentration, and aid in periods of gestation, lactation, pregnancy, and such periods surrounding childbirth. It is also required for the normal functioning of the immune system.

Some sources of iron in our daily diet include red meat, eggs, liver, oatmeal,nuts, as well as food supplements and formulations like Sangobion.

Chic Nails third branch in Sct. Tuazon, Quezon City

CHIC NAILS: PAMPERING IS A REWARD

The lives of Filipino women have evolved extensively, such that they are not merely responsible for a few things at home or at work anymore. There are women who have chosen to make a career out of being a full-time homemaker or stay-at-home mom. There are others who are part of the workforce, whether as employees or as headstrong leaders of industry. And then there are those who do both, managing both home and career. With all these responsibilities to juggle, the modern Filipino woman is practically left with no time for herself, to indulge in luxuries and pampering.

“I was one of those women. I had a job and a family to take care of. I had longed for some form of reward for myself. One that would not take a lot of time or cost a lot of money,” Angeli Ebdane, proprietress of Chic Nails Hand, Foot and Body Spa, shares.

It was from Angeli’s experience as a working wife and mother that the idea for Chic Nails came to be. She recognized that she was not alone in her plight, and that many of today’s women were, like her, in search of ways to reward themselves. She says, “Pampering is not just about luxury anymore. I see it as a bonus, a reward for women who, more often than not, do all things for their family, but forget to take care of themselves.”

Angeli opened the first branch of Chic Nails in Don Antonio in July 2009.  She felt that a nail spa provided women an affordable respite from the demands of the daily grind. It was a convenient rejuvenating escape that did not have to take too much of their precious time. Her goal was to provide unparalleled service to clients, to “relax them into a better state of well-being”. She started by employing only well-qualified and experienced staff. Nail technicians and massage therapists at Chic Nails undergo extensive training upon hiring, and even during their employment, to hone their skills and become updated with latest techniques. The training also includes proper customer-relations, so that the staff are always polite, accommodating, honest and friendly.

Hand-in-hand with well-trained staff is the use of products, tools and equipment that are up-to-date with latest trends and of the highest quality available in the market. New nail polish colors are introduced every season. Trendy nail grooming techniques such as gel nails and popular nail art are offered in the spa. But more than fashion and trends, Chic Nails boasts of the strictest standards in cleanliness and sterilization. It puts the highest premium on the safety and well-being of its clients, always.
