Investing During the Pandemic

Times are hard and it's been a year since we were all locked down in our homes due to the rising case of COVID-19. The rising cases this year is scary and I hope you've managed to still save a buck or two, or maybe thinking really hard where to invest your extra money during these times. Let me suggest a few!

Invest in Healthcare. If you haven't had one, make sure you do as the rising cost of hospitalization doesn't just cripple you, but the economic standing of your family. There are plans, ones that are affordable and if you do invest in one, make sure you get recommendations from family and friends that have benefited from it. There are tons out there, but choosing one that has proven easy to deal with especially on emergency cases would be better in the long run, so choose wisely.

Start a Home Business. Tons of entrepreneurs have already started cooking, making things, doing services from their own homes. If you're a good cook, maybe start by sharing what you cook first to friends and family, because chances are, when you sell them later on, they will be your first customers. Aside from that, it's easy to have deliveries done these days, so no need to go out that much even if you start your business in your own turf. 

Invest in a laptop or PC. If you're running a business, you would need things like these to start taking orders and getting organized. Aside from that, you can play games, stream them, or perhaps make marketing materials that you would need for your business. A handy laptop that you can take anywhere or a more powerful PC that you can make as your station when you need to do your business at home. Choose something that you can utilize in the future, it's a hefty amount you are spending for it so make sure it will last for years.

Invest in Jewelry. Things that you can buy these days are gold and diamonds, or just any precious stones that have worth when you pawn it. Good people like Cebuana Lhullier even have been selling it. If it went through their strict appraisal process and saw it on sale, it would be nice to get them from an entity that has been doing it for 30 years. Best of all, they're accessible as they have over 2,500 branches nationwide! You can also check their services or what they sell online via  https://www.cebuanalhuillierjewelry.com or https://www.cebuanalhuillierjewelrypremium.com/ because they too want things to be convenient. 

I'm sure you do too.

Charo Santos and My Diamond

A dazzling affair with great company happened at the Manila House Private Club as jewelry brand My Diamond announced their newest endorser Ms. Charo Santos. JP Paglinawan their Marketing Manager says "My Diamond has been a success because of people who want the finest, affordable and authentic jewelry in the Philippines. Whether it's your first one or something you would use for weddings, it has been part of the Filipino way of showing affection, make them feel special and that's exactly what we want to convey in every piece of My Diamond jewelry. This is also why we chose an apt ambassador to showcase it's timeless appeal. She's brilliant and successful, she's Ms. Charo Santos. Expensive is relative, it doesn't cost as much as your mobile phones but if you are giving it to someone special how can you keep a price tag on that right?"

Ms. Charo says "A pair of fabulous earrings, rings or necklace is something empowering. Women should be kind to one's self, to make yourself feel good sometimes; and owning one is a good thing. It exhudes elegance and I remember buying one for my Mom a few years ago. We should shine at every stage. We can also make it an heirloom, pass it down to my daughter, in laws or someone special."

She also shared "Take a break, no matter how busy you are you must use simpe lines, look at the context of the event you are going to. Diamond Studs would be fine the whole day. My advice, believe in yourself, work hard and pursue your dreams. Owning jewelry is not just a luxury, it's an investment. I also wish men would love diamonds more, to appreciate it's value because it looks good on them too."

Ms. Charo will be endorsing the brand as a whole with Liza Soberano. If you would like to know more, visit https://m.facebook.com/MyDiamondPH/ and their branches nationwide!

Karat World x Gretchen Barretto

Elegance, Refinement and Timeless Beauty. These are some of the words that were lingering that afternoon when we went to the Karat World event at CAV in BGC. Karat World has been able to transcend the norms of the jewelry business by bringing in more intricate designs, thinking of consumers and making each of their products affordable by the masses. For a company made to become something that makes luxurious pieces of fine jewelry, it's not that normal to be in the price points they put in on them. From their humble beginnings in the Visayas, they're now a force to be reckoned with in the jewelry business nationwide, and now they're amping up the ante and bringing in someone that's got the same characteristics as the brand itself. Elegance, Refinement and Timeless Beauty must be only related to one person in the showbiz industry right? Your guess is as good as mine...

 

Oh yes! She's the new endorser of Karat World, the one, the only Gretchen Barretto. She was so glad she got introduced to the family that's running Karat World. Beyond the endorsement, she wanted to have a genuine relationship with them because they have been truly good to her. The photoshoot which happened a few weeks before this endorsement only spelled how understanding they were when she cancelled it the first time because of family matters. That meant a lot, the understanding that they gave her, even shooting on a Sunday where employees were supposed to take rest... she appreciated that a lot and how courtesy was still given to her. Now, she's going to make sure to promote the brand even better as they embark on Karat World's journey to greater heights as they celebrate their 20th Year in the business!

Gretchen says "You don't really need expensive things to look classy. I love the pieces I got from Karat world especially the earrings and bracelets I've seen in the shoot. My pants are from a local store and my top is expensive (then we laughed), but everything looks "sosyal" on me effortlessly. You don't have to buy expensive jewelry because at the end of the day, it's how you carry it." which I totally agree with.

She also goes on saying "Thank you" to the family that owns and manages Karat World, and thanks them as well for treating her like family. True to the brand's promise of making affordable and quality jewelry to Filipinos, Karat World will be the go to brand on wedding rings, engagement rings or for any occasion for that matter. You'll all enjoy the best international and locally designed jewelry for a fraction of a cost. Congratulations Ms. Gretchen Barretto for being the new face of Karat World in the Philippines! Watch out for the ads and bts coming on stores soon.
