Coffee + Honey Facial Mask

I am really not into any beauty regime since I was young. 

I never like the idea of wasting time for beautification or whatsoever you want to do with you face. 

But since I have some coffee grounds available at hand, I decided to create a mask, just to try what is the after effect. Plus, I am currently having some issues with sprouting tiny pimples on my chin and forehead. 

Take a full big tbsp of coffee powder and add in one tbsp of honey. Mix well and apply on the faceand neck in circular motion. Keep for 20 minutes and rinse off. Along with gentle exfoliation, it will give you anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory benefit and honey as always will moisturize your skin.

Nippon Paint establishes Gennosuke Obata Fellowship Fund

The NIPSEA Group, otherwise known as Nippon Paint throughout Asia, announced the establishment of the Gennosuke Obata Fellowship Fund at the prestigious Harvard University Graduate School of Design (GSD) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.

The fund will provide financial aid to GSD students in Asia, with the hopes of attracting, enrolling and supporting talented design scholars from the Asian region as they work to become leaders in transforming the social and built environment.

NIPSEA Group Chief Executive Officer Wee Siew Kim said they are humbled to be able to have the opportunity to partner with Harvard University Graduate School of Design to invest into the future generation of design students through the Gennosuke Obata Fellowship. “Nothing can be more rewarding than to be a small part of creating an impact or making a change in the lives of Asian students and returning home bringing with them a better future for themselves and for their country.”

Nippon Paint’s gift of US$300,000 dollars (Php 16,000,000) to establish the Gennosuke Obata Fellowship Fund includes US$50,000 (Php 2.6 million) for immediate use to benefit students at the GSD. The remainder of the gift is invested in the Harvard University Endowment, leveraging these dollars for future support. As part of its “Grounded Visionaries” campaign, the Harvard University GSD has increased the number of student fellowships by over 50 percent, and there are now 24 endowed funds, expanding further the opportunities for talented design students.

The Harvard GSD partnership brings with it an additional program for the regional winners of Asia Young Designer Award (AYDA), rewarding both from the Architecture and Interior Design categories, a six-week, all-expense paid learning opportunity at the Harvard GSD “Design Discovery” program. At the “Design Discovery” program, winners will have the privilege to learn and experience intensive studio work, lectures, workshops and field trips.

Nippon Paint (Coatings) Philippines (NPCP), thus, is very happy to announce this significant development in Nippon Paint’s Asia Young Designer Awards (AYDA), a design competition for students NPCP has been doing since 2014.

“This partnership with the Harvard Graduate School of Design provides local student winners an opportunity to learn from one of the best institutes in the world, further enhancing their skills as future professionals that will be responsible in defining and shaping construction projects in the Philippines,” declares Michael Francisco, NPCP General Manager.

PHILIPPINE AIRLINES SET TO FLY CLARK, PAMPANGA - SAN VICENTE, PALAWAN ROUTE

The country’s longest-operating airline is set to fly the Clark-San Vicente route beginning July 16, 2018. The domestic route will connect Pampanga and Palawan and is expected to boost the economies of the two provinces focusing primarily on the growth of the local tourism industry. Pampanga is known for gaming and other leisure destinations while Palawan is best appreciated in its nature-inspired destinations such as pristine beaches, clearest waters and tropical islands that captivate visitors the world over.

Palawan Governor Jose Ch. Alvarez underscored the significance of the air connectivity noting that tourists from northern Luzon will now have easy access to hassle-free flights en route to Palawan.

Taking into account the traffic congestion leading to major airports in Metro Manila, the alternate route will offer travelers brief respite from long queues and missed flights due to traffic woes.

The picturesque town of San Vicente known for its 14-kilometer long beach line is a “stone throw away” from neighboring local tourism hubs like El Nido and Taytay wherein tourists can get a short hop from the airport direct to these townships.

The development of local infrastructures swings forward in steady pace to prepare the township on the influx of visitors that is expected to hit the local shores in the days to come.

The idyllic town of San Vicente is gradually shaping up as the new tourism hub in northern Palawan and is projected to catch the attention of adventure seekers and nature lovers from both domestic and overseas tourism markets.
