About Greenwich 

Greenwich’s story began in 1971 as a small, family-owned store selling a selection of pizzas at the then Greenhills Commercial Center. As the brand’s pizzas grew in popularity, Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC) took notice. In 1994, JFC acquired majority shares in Greenwich, infusing what was a family business with industry-leading competitiveness. New pizza variants and a variety of products were introduced through the years, creating a reputation for Greenwich as a maker of mouthwatering pizzas and pastas for the Filipino “barkada.” Today, Greenwich is the country’s biggest pizza and pasta chain with over 270 stores and counting, and home of the best-selling Hawaiian Overload®, All-in Overload®, and Lasagna Supreme®.

Nicotine Pouches: A safer alternative to smoking?

Nicotine Pouches

The demand for nicotine pouches is growing in various European and American nations, and market analysts predict significant market growth for this product by 2028. 

Adult smokers in the Philippines are still looking for various ways to smoke, which has increased demand for Reduced Risk Products such as e-cigarettes or vapes. Is there a chance that nicotine pouches could serve as a lower risk alternative or complement for adult smokers in the Philippines given the market's desire in goods that reduce the risks associated with smoking combustible tobacco?

Nicotine Pouches in the Philippine Market

The availability of nicotine pouches in the local market is still limited. Access of Filipino adult smokers to these non-combustible products is restrained to independent shops that carry mostly Swedish nicotine pouch brands like 77, Helwit, ICE, Klint, Loop, Nordic Spirit, and Paz.

Understanding the prospective risk reduction of nicotine pouches may eventually entice Filipino adult smokers to consider this nicotine product as a convenient and practical choice.

A Look into Nicotine Pouches

Nicotine Pouches offer a modern and unique nicotine experience when smoking or vaping is constrained. A nicotine pouch comes in a soft, white pillow pouch made from plant-based fibers and gum base that houses nicotine extracted from tobacco leaves and flavor blends using food-grade ingredients. 

Each pouch is discreet and simple to use – it is placed between the upper or bottom lip and gum, depending on which will be a more comfortable fit. One can enjoy the nicotine experience on any occasion for a maximum of 60 minutes, lessening the prohibitions of using the product – in one’s commute, while working, or during socializing occasions. 

Because nicotine pouch is non-combustible making it free of smoke, vapor, and smell, the product lessens the ingestion of and exposure to harmful chemicals found in burned tobacco products. 

Despite this, it's still critical to recognize any potential negative effects of nicotine pouches. First-time users of nicotine pouches may still suffer some nausea and lightheadedness, even though experienced smokers and vapers are used to the side effects of smoking combustible tobacco or using e-cigarettes. 

Despite the fact that nicotine, a highly addictive drug, is present in the product, nicotine pouches nonetheless present a positive argument for being a healthier alternative to or addition to smoking. 

Using Skin Poem Hydrating and Brightening Mist this summer, give your skin a little bit of goodness!

This summer's humidity and muggy air make it necessary to seek for something cool. Drinking lots of water is a good rule of thumb, but what else can we do to combat the oppressive heat of the season?  When we go outside, our skin will be the part of us that feels the heat the most. Our skin during the summer is susceptible to irritation and pain in addition to being sweaty. The good news is that I have just discovered the ideal hydrating mist that is suitable for all skin types. In addition, this moisturizing and brightening mist from Skin Poem also has a cooling effect that will undoubtedly bring a dash of goodness to your complexion this summer.

Before we dive into the good effect of this product, allow me to commend its packaging. At first, I thought the packaging is just like a typical bottle of mists that I already tried before that’s made out of plastic. But this hydrating and brightening mist was made out of black tinted glass, so aside from being sustainable, the tinted glass bottle also protects the product’s ingredients from the sun damage.

What I liked too about the packaging is the poetry that’s included. As someone who has an interest in beauty and skincare all my life, I am used to seeing products that have only ingredients lists, and the instructions written on them. But for Skin Poem’s Hydrating and brightening mist, it has poetry; a perfect reminder to all the people who’s using the product that despite how busy life gets sometimes, you should allow yourself to step back.

Aside from these tiny details of the product, why do I recommend this mist from Skin Poem as your go-to this summer season? Well, I already mentioned one of the reasons earlier. It has a cooling effect, that you can instantly feel once sprayed to your skin. Here's a trick I discovered myself, I am not just using this one for my face, but on my hands and legs as well. Especially when my skin already feels so uncomfortable because of the hot weather.

This Brightening Mist, is a perfect combination to the sunscreen I am currently using.

Let’s face it, when reapplying sunscreen, sometimes the feeling is so tacky, especially when we have makeup on our face. That’s why on my end, I no longer need to reapply my sunscreen on top of my makeup, I just need this good mist, and I am good to go once again.

To complete my sentiments about this Hydrating and Brightening Mist, I would wrap this up by saying that this is a type of product that you can just include in your on the go beauty bag. If you have a travel trip, this mist from Skin Poem is definitely your best friend all throughout!
