What’s on your calendar on October 17?

I’m writing this post to give you a heads up for the upcoming National Pampering Day by Nailaholics, the country’s pioneer in bringing specialized nail salons and spa outlets. This is an annual event that Nailaholics pioneered and it is now in its fourth year.

What makes this year’s National Pampering Day extra special is that Nailaholics linked self-care to caring for the environment by making Save Philippine Seas Organizationa beneficiary of this annual event.

On October 17, 2019, from 10 AM to 1 PM, all Nailaholics branches NATIONWIDE will be giving FREE SERVICES to its customers who will make a P50 donation to its cause. Donors may avail of a FREE manicure, foot spa or foot massage with every donation, where all the proceeds will go to its partner beneficiary.

Isn’t that an amazing treat?

With only P50, you get a relaxing self-care treat from a reputable nail salon and spa!

Moms and dads, let’s make time for this! Yes, dads can also come and enjoy a foot spa or a foot massage. We all deserve to give ourselves a treat every now and then, after all the hard work that we do for our families. This National Pampering Day is a great opportunity to do that.

I love that they partnered self-care with supporting an environmental advocacy. This is close to my heart because I also have an advocacy that is related to the environment, #IsayGoestoSchools, wherein we donate copies of my latest children’s book Maliit na ang Palda ni Isay to poor children. This book teaches kids to reuse and recycle to help their parents save money and to save the environment.

Thus, when I was invited to support this event, I didn’t think twice about it. I love companies that have a heart and that support advocacies on education and the environment.

I also took it as an opportunity to have some me-time, away from my kids, my husband, my work and the household chores. 😉

I had a pedicure and hand spa at the Nailaholics branch at Robinson’s Galleria last month.

I also had a wonderful time meeting new friends who were either bloggers or writers like me.

“This year, we want to go beyond the usual discounted promotions we give to our clients. This year is all about encouraging our new and loyal customers alike, to engage in this more meaningful act of self-care — a self-care that saves. Contrary to the common perception, caring for oneself is not a selfish act. And we want our customers to feel that while they take care of their own bodies and prioritize their well-being, they can also simultaneously value our environment and summon changes in our lifestyle to protect the planet,” says Ms. Abby Borja, Head of Marketing of R2 Group of Exclusive Brands, Inc.

The advocasea does not end there, however. In aiming to have a holistic approach, Nailaholics will literally dive into action. A special raffle promo awaits the participants of this year’s National Pampering Day. One lucky donor will win an ALL-EXPENSE PAID TRIP TO SIARGAO! And that winner can bring one companion!

Siargao Island is named the best island in the world. It practices respectable eco-tourism.

Wow! Who would not want to win in this raffle?

The winner and her/his companion will have a chance to experience the splendor of our own Philippine seas as well as join a beach clean-up program led by S.E.A. Movement, and volunteer at the Siargao Art Recycling Studio.

So, seas the day! Mark your calendar and get ready to make waves by doing your share in saving our Philippine Seas. Your P50 donation will surely make a difference.

Feel free to share about this event also to your family members, relatives and friends. It’s so affordable and it’s for a good cause on top of taking care of yourself.
