Sparkle Artists Elle Villanueva, Sophia Senoron and Ysabel Ortega: Officially "Nailandia" Franchise Owners

Self-care has never been more important especially after what we've all gone through these past few years. Ms. Noreen Divina often go to salons and spas to take care of her nails and well being. Her husband often joked about always seeing her in these establishments and said she should have built her own one instead of spending much for it weekly. This started her interest in this big business venture.

She knew her husband made sense, which is why she put in the legwork and started learning the ropes of doing and managing a nail salon. Aside from that, she also went to school and learned how to put up her own spas (it involves several courses and took them all) prior to building her own business. Putting her foot where her mouth is, she now even visits franchisees to do work for customers to this day; which at this day and age is quite admirable. To date, Nailandia now has several branches across Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. There are also plans to put up more of these branches in other countries like UAE and the US pretty soon.

Nailandia is certainly growing. Some of her brand ambassadors like Sparkle Artists Elle Villanueva, Sophia Senoron and Ysabel Ortega (who initially were just sponsored with nail services as celebrities) took interest too and now; are full time franchise owners of the brand. They saw how important it was to take care of themselves and loved everything they did during an event. Today, they are officially building their branch at Tomas Morato's Il Terrazzo which would probably be done during the last quarter of this year.

Ms. Noreen loved how they saw value with their brand, and now these Sparkle Artists and Voltes V: Legacy stars will be a great addition to their stellar line of franchisees. She also says "I'm very thankful, to the Lord above for all these opportunities!"

They were also hit hard during the pandemic, but Ms. Noreen felt lucky that much of the branches were able to re-open with the care of franchise owners too. Despite hard times, they were also able to provide for their employees in their own way. They stopped royalty fees during that time too which they know would help businesses survive during a very difficult time.

Primetime Queen Marian Rivera-Dantes continues to be the brand's official endorser. They also attribute their success with her trust, and the people, franchisees and customers who believed in them all these years. Hope you see Nailandia in a different light when you hear this story.

Missed this event but it doesn’t stop us from telling you about it. 

I’m sure the ladies would appreciate something new, something about that one thing they go to salons for, it’s their nails. I received an invitation a couple weeks ago about ORLY, have you heard about them? I’m sure you do.

They are a nail care brand from LA, and just a few days ago started a campaign called “Strength in Color”, to which they recognised some extraORLYnary women in the Philippines to represent who they are in the industry, some pretty good ones in fact.

By the way, SprintAsia is the exclusive official distributor of ORLY in the Philippines. If you are into nail polish that’s  matte, gel or classic ones, ORLY is your best bet. They also have breathable types, animal cruelty free process, halal certified and some vegan types too. They have been doing this since 1975 so obviously they’ve got the experience to back them up.

They also showed us a thing or two about nail art and the advancements in this particular segment in nail care, they scoured the country and announced a winner that evening.

Eu'Genia Shea: More Than Butter, A Way To Empower Women

We all have our own way of taking care of ourselves, but there's always some really good regimen we can do for skin, hair and just about any part of our extremities that can make it all better. I've been reflecting on it all day while in the bath tub. Men and women have seen the remarkable benefits of using skin care butters as it alleviates the problem of dry skin, hair, wrinkles, cracked lips, stretch marks, cracked heels and nails. I'm taking There is certainly nothing wrong with skin care butters like cocoa, but when you're looking for the ultimate nourishing and natural cream, shea butter is one of the finest products known to man. Packed with numerous antioxidants and vitamins like A and E, shea butter is very beneficial to the hair and skin. It takes care of everything from head to toe which would be beneficial for the entire family.

Unfortunately, not all shea butters are created equal. From source to methods, it really is different especially on how they extract the precious shea oil from shea nuts.

Luckily, the world has the Eu'Genia Shea company. It's a family run business with roots in Ghana and America. Mother and daughter embrace the generations and a long tradition of shea butter knowledge. They have long seen the superiority of raw, unrefined Ghanaian shea butter.

Harvard graduate Naa-Sakle Akuete launched the Eu'Genia brand in 2014, naming the shea butter line after her mother. In fact, Ms. Eu'Genia is the former president of the Global Shea Alliance, which includes some 400 members from 31 countries. In addition, Akuete's grandmother was a well-known mid-wife who used rich shea butter in her practice for years. Shea is healing, very nourishing and known for reducing stretch marks.

Eu'Genia Shea is a wonderful business filled with pride, self-empowerment and exceptional Ghanaian shea butter imported to America. The company's headquarters are based in Brooklyn, New York, and the gorgeous variety of shea butter products can be purchased through e-commerce at their website https://www.eugeniashea.com/. The luxurious shea butters are sold in three strengths, including Everyday Shea Butter, Pregnancy Strength Shea Butter and Dermatological Strength Shea Butter. Each butter comes filled in colorful tin containers and can also be purchased through a monthly subscription if desired.

Eu'Genia Shea butters are also in a quality class of their own. The brand uses at least 95% shea content, while their competitors use less than 25% shea. Another aspect that allows the Eu'Genia Shea company to stand out is the mission behind the brand and the compassion that goes with it. Akuete and her loved ones are strong on family values and social responsibility and have labored hard to ensure that rural Ghanaian women workers receive benefits and proper job security and employment opportunities.

Eu'Genia Shea has since established a co-op of female pickers in northern Ghana that provides sustainable wages and training to their employees. The family run enterprise also donates 15% of their profits back to the co-op in the form of an education fund.

It's an amazing way for Akuete to give back to her country, she says and to introduce people in America to the magical, natural goodness that shea butter has to offer.

That's just remarkable.
