Unleash Your Inner Water Tiger: Financial Tips from 2022’s Chinese Zodiac Sign



In a few days, we'll be celebrating Lunar New Year and ushering in the Year of the Water Tiger. Depending on the representative Chinese zodiac and element, it is said to impact one's luck and chances to become successful. Take charge of your own destiny and learn the traits of the Water Tiger in order to become more financially savvy and prosperous in 2022.


Here are some financial tips to keep in mind this Lunar Year:

Don’t be afraid to be experimental and adventurous.
Water Tigers tend to be very open to new ideas. If you're feeling stuck in an area of your life, this is the year to change things up. You can start small, such as listening to music genres that aren't on your typical playlist, enrolling in a new hobby class, or taking on a new project at work. Soon you’ll find that you’re more courageous as you make bigger life decisions. 

When it comes to finances, being receptive to non-traditional ways can help you become more prosperous and independent. E-wallets are a game changer in the financial world. This year, introduce yourself to ShopeePay, Shopee’s all-in-one e-wallet that enables you to buy load, pay bills, send money, and scan to pay at thousands of merchants nationwide. It only takes a few steps to enroll. Activate your ShopeePay account here


Adaptability is key.
Water Tigers can quickly shift to improve their circumstances, making them ideal role models during a time of unprecedented changes. For businesses to continue thriving, entrepreneurs need to be more creative and strategic when it comes to running their operations. If you own a physical store, join ShopeePay’s growing list of Offline Partner Merchant’s for safe and convenient cashless transactions. ShopeePay’s Scan-To-Pay feature enables secure and real-time payments for your goods and services in-store via QR code. Enjoy the many benefits of ShopeePay by signing up to be a ShopeePay Partner Merchant. For those running an online business, chances are fund transfers are your primary means to get payments. Encourage your customers to transact using ShopeePay as it offers free and real time money transfers to any Shopee user or bank account.


Resourcefulness can help you go a long way.
Being resourceful like a Water Tiger means you're able to find solutions to deal with problems or search for more efficient ways to perform a task. It’s actually one of the best traits to imbibe when it comes to money matters. Any good financial decision maker would weigh options and search ways to spend wisely and save more. Start by exploring your e-wallet’s features and keeping tabs on scheduled promos and ongoing deals. 

Making sound financial decisions also means setting a budget and tracking expenses. With ShopeePay, you get access to exclusive promos and deals to help you stick to your budget. If you need to transfer money; whether it be to your family and friends, or to your own bank account, you can do so without the added transaction fees through ShopeePay’s free transfers feature. From January 26 to February 3, send personalised Angpaos and stand a chance to win   up to ₱220,000 when you send at least ₱1 to any Shopee user with ShopeePay. You can even get the chance to win an additional ₱88 via ShopeePay when you cash in for free with your linked BPI Online Account. Finally, schedule your shopping and bills payments on January 30 in time for ShopeePay Day - where you can get up to 50% cashback on bills, discounts on load, and discounts on groceries and essentials with ShopeePay ₱1 Deals. 


Those of the Tiger zodiac portray courage and leadership. They're determined to do anything to achieve their goal. 2022 is all about taking those traits and channeling them into opportunities to be more successful. After all, Water Tigers are action-based people who value hard work and don’t hesitate to make things happen.

Mekeni makes #TimplangAtin experience more delightful this 2022

“Something big is coming your way this year and we could not be more excited for what is to come. We are bringing the Timplang Atin experience to a whole new level in the coming months. We’ve been in the food business for over 35 years that is why we think it is high time for us to show that we are continuously innovating and making improvements to the brand. We are making significant changes in the next months, and we encourage our customers to stay tuned for what is in store for them.” ~Prudencio S. Garcia, Mekeni President
The newly unveiled Mekeni Marketplace located in Balubad, Porac,  Pampanga


Mekeni started its #TimplangAtin campaign to convey what the brand has to offer to Filipino families here and abroad—quality and taste that can capture hearts and palates, satisfying the different taste preferences of Filipinos. Through this campaign, Mekeni highlights its long-time commitment of delivering flavors that truly represent the Filipino palate.

The Pampanga-based food manufacturing company has already started teasing its customers about what they will be launching this 2022. On its Facebook page, the brand posted an 18-second teaser of a song, suggesting an imminent launch of a campaign jingle. Prior to that, Mekeni also shared that something is coming to get the whole family moving and grooving.

Last month, Mekeni unveiled its flagship store called Mekeni Marketplace in Porac, Pampanga—the place where founders Felix and Meding Garcia first envisioned the family business. The store offers family favorites such as Mekeni Picnic Hotdog, Mekeni GoLite Gluten-free Chicken Longanisa; and Mekeni Classic Sweet and Tamis-Alat Tocino. It also has sections for ready-to-cook and fresh meat products that are perfect for every Filipino family meal.


The Mekeni Marketplace’s new and homey interior


From being a backyard enterprise in 1986, Mekeni has become a world-class meat processing company and a homegrown brand loved by Filipino families here and abroad.

Ever Organics - Choosing the right sheet mask for your skin type and needs

Ever Organics sheet masks are available in different variants to address different skincare needs.


Sheet masks have become one of the staples in skincare because they’re easy to use and effective in addressing different skin concerns. One of the most significant benefits of sheet masks is the ability to increase the absorption of active ingredients into the skin. However, a sheet mask can be less effective if it does not contain the ingredients that address your specific skincare need or worse, if one of the ingredients causes irritation or allergic reaction. This is why choosing the right sheet mask that suits your skin type and needs is important.
 
From relieving dryness and soothing irritated skin to removing impurities and improving skin tone, Ever Organics sheet masks have got you covered. A Korean-inspired skincare line, Ever Organics are made in Korea using nature’s organic remedies. It is vegan, cruelty, alcohol, and paraben-free. 
 

Here are different variants of Ever Organics sheet masks to address different skincare needs:

Aloe Vera Soothing Sheet Mask. Aloe vera hydrates and soothes irritated skin. It also helps control the skin’s excess oil and reduce breakouts. Ever Organics Aloe Vera Soothing Sheet Mask is suitable for those who have sensitive skin type.

Snail Moisturizing Sheet Mask. Do not let the snail in the product’s name intimidate you. Snail secretion filtrate, or snail mucin, naturally contains hyaluronic acid, and antimicrobial properties, which help lock in moisture and reduce the skin’s hyperpigmentation. Ever Organics Snail Moisturizing Sheet Mask helps make the skin firm and even out skin tone. This sheet mask is suitable for normal and dry skin types. 

Vitamin C Antioxidant Sheet Mask. Ever Organics Vitamin C Sheet Mask is perfect for those looking to brighten their skin while protecting it from harmful ultraviolet rays. This sheet mask also has an antioxidant feature that encourages skin regeneration. It is also safe to be used by most skin types. 

Green Tea Detoxifying Sheet Mask. Green tea naturally has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial properties which help protect the skin from premature aging, redness, and irritation and also fight bacteria that can lead to acne breakouts. To those with oily and acne-prone skin, Ever Organics Green Tea Sheet Mask is for you.

Collagen Revitalizing Sheet Mask. Collagen helps smooth out wrinkles by plumping and firming the skin, making it appear glowing and smoother. It also helps the skin heal from acne faster to give you more even radiant skin. Collagen Revitalizing Sheet Mask is ideal for those who have dry skin type. 

Charcoal Purifying Sheet Mask. Activated charcoal is one of the best skin cleansing agents for the skin. It gently draws out skin impurities such as dirt and oil from congested pores and helps reduce the appearance of dull skin.

Scholastic Asia taps Mayani to extend aid, supports community library for Baseco

“As Scholastic celebrates its 100 years, it’s in our roadmap to strengthen initiatives that will promote learning and reading. We’re active in partnering with organizations with the same goals as ours when it comes to giving back to the community. Every Filipino child should be able to be given a chance to strengthen their love for learning and eventually live a life that they've built for themselves in the future. We are happy that Mayani sees this eye to eye with us.” ~Jane Tiongco-Aguirre, General Manager for the Philippines of Scholastic Asia


The world’s largest children books publisher Scholastic Asia has launched Project Aklat at Pangarap with agriculture marketplace Mayani to provide relief assistance and push community literary among the children of 196 indigent families affected by a massive fire breakout in Barangay 649, Baseco. 

Scholastic is known to be the publisher of the children’s favorites Harry Potter and Clifford the Big Red Dog. They are an active partner of schools in the Philippines in strengthening student reading proficiency through their word class and effective Literacy Program, Prime English and their remarkable numeracy program, Prime Math.

Core to the initiative is utilizing Mayani’s community campaigns expertise and its platform for the online giving of food packs sourced from local farmers, after which free books were donated by Scholastic Asia upon meeting the total target food donations. 

The endeavor also drew the support of volunteer group No One Left Out, outdoor advertiser HDI, and Sto. Nino De Baseco Parish, who led the on-ground relief distribution.

“One of our platform’s broadened use cases is empowering our customers to give back to causes that they personally care about. As an impact-driven organization, we open our platform for a multitude of partners to anchor their social drives on and tap other value points in our ecosystem.” ~JT Solis, the Co-Founder and CEO of Mayani



Over one metric ton of fresh produce and chicken, as well as 500 books and technology-enabled learning materials have been donated via the project. The books have been turned over already to the Baseco children’s community – an effort that will complement their alternative learning programs.

“We truly value education and holds this strong belief of promoting grassroots literacy as a top priorty.” ~Raoul Buencuchillo, HDI Adventures’ President

The campaign was also given boosting by Mayani’s billboard collaborator HDI.

How to Avoid Dry Skin: 7 Hydrating Foods to Try This Season


Nutritionist, Member of the Dietetic Advisory Board and Outer Nutrition Advisory Board, Herbalife Nutrition

There are many different ways to ensure your skin is well hydrated, such as using the right skincare products for your skin type and consuming foods that support skin health.

Letting your body become dehydrated is one of the fastest ways to get dry skin. These conditions occur because the skin contains around 30 percent of water, which contributes to its plumpness, elasticity, and resiliency. A well-hydrated skin can help promote healthy-looking skin.

If your skin looks dry, flaky, or irritated, it may be time to take a moment to evaluate your hydration and eating habits.


7 Water-Rich Foods to Try This Season
Every day, make sure you drink at least 8 glasses of fluids, which include beverages such as tea, milk, and coffee. Your skin will also thank you if you eat a diet rich in antioxidants such as vitamin A, C, and E.


Wondering where to get started? Here’s a list of water-rich foods you can try this season:

1. Watermelon
Watermelon is a fruit high in water content (more than 90 percent) and contains minerals and phytochemicals such as lycopene, vitamin C, and beta carotene – all of which can support skin health. In fact, compared to tomatoes, strawberries, or guavas, watermelon offers a good amount of antioxidants. You can enjoy watermelon year-round as a snack or blend it with other ingredients for a delicious, refreshing smoothie.

2. Orange
Fruits come in a variety of flavors, like sweet or sour, and they also have different textures. Oranges are always good to have on your grocery list or your fruit bowl at home. Like watermelons, they contain a lot of water (80-89 percent) as well as vitamin C. You can take oranges anywhere and even peel them without a knife.

3.  Vegetables
Our parents often tell us to eat our vegetables, but did you know that veggies also contribute to our skin’s health? Certain vegetables have high water content, such as spinach (90-99 percent) and carrots and broccoli (80-89 percent). Try incorporating these into your everyday meals.

4. Yogurts
Has it ever crossed your mind that in addition to supporting your digestive health, yogurt also contributes to your fluid intake? One portion of yogurt contains around 80-89 percent water.

5. Pickles
Pickles are usually seen as a relish to complement a meal and as flavor enhancers. Did you know that they also contribute to the overall water content of your food? Pickles contain more than 90 percent water. This volume comes from the fermentation process that often includes adding other forms of liquid and seasonings to help maintain or increase its water content.

6. Fruit and vegetable salads
Establish a new habit, such as serving salads as appetizers before your main course. You can try a fruit salad, vegetable salad, or a combination of both. In addition to improving your appetite, salads that contain fresh fruits and vegetables also contribute to your fluid intake. In fact, lettuce, commonly used in salads, contains more than 90 percent of water.

7. Soups
Soup is another appetizer you can add to your meals. A bowl of warm soup before dinner could help ease your digestive system, making it ready to receive the main course.

8. Smoothies or Protein Shakes
Shakes are a great, convenient way to improve your fluid intake. You can customize them depending on your taste, so if your favorite fruit is not on this list, you can blend your own ingredients and even add protein powder. Many fruits are not only high in water content, but they also provide fiber.

If you haven’t done so, try an exotic, tropical fruit at least once. Durian is a local favorite in Southeast Asia and provides vitamins C and B and lots of potassium.
