Running across TikTok and Instagram, the challenge encourages participants to foster a more positive environment on their social media feeds by posting optimistic moments and selfies featuring the “finger heart” gesture – a popular symbol among K-pop idols created by forming a mini heart with the index finger and thumb – using the hashtags #Lifesgood and #Optimismyourfeed.

“LG is committed to delivering on its promise of ‘Life’s Good. This social media challenge aims to uncover and share what ‘Life’s Good’ means to our customers,” said Kim Hyo-eun, vice president and head of LG’s Brand Management Division. “We believe there is real power in approaching life with an optimistic attitude, and our Optimism your feed campaign’s social media challenge is all about embracing the opportunity to inspire more positive activities in the virtual and real world.”

Created in collaboration with global influencers known for their positive impact, the playlist offers users the opportunity to experience more uplifting and encouraging posts. Within just three weeks of its release on TikTok, YouTube and other social media platforms, the playlist has garnered over 1.2 billion views.

The social media challenge invites users around the world to join influencers including Tina Choi, Victoria Browne, Josh Harmon, Team1llusion, Lenna Vivas and Samuel Weidenhofer in spreading optimism across social media feeds.

LG believes in spreading the campaign’s message of optimism to employees as well as the outside world.

“We are all brand ambassadors of LG,” said CEO William Cho. “If each of us starts brightening our surroundings one step at a time, I believe LG will one day become a company that truly radiates positivity, helping to create better lives and a better world.”

Recognizing the growing importance of online shopping authenticity in the Philippines, Shopee Mall is implementing significant changes to its platform. These changes focus on providing users with an unparalleled shopping experience that guarantees product legitimacy and a seamless shopping journey.

Strengthened Customer Safeguards

Shopee Mall has always been synonymous with authenticity. All products on the platform undergo rigorous verification to ensure they are 100% genuine. Now, Shopee Mall is going a step further by introducing a groundbreaking triple money-back guarantee. If a customer receives a counterfeit product, they will be reimbursed three times the value of their purchase. This industry-leading initiative underscores Shopee Mall’s commitment to user protection and sets a new standard for online brand authenticity in the Philippines.

Shopee Mall has simplified and extended its return and refund policy. Users now have 15 days from the date of receipt to initiate a return, double the previous window. As long as the returned item meets the established Return Terms & Conditions, a full refund will be issued.

Shopee Mall’s commitment extends to delivery as well. The platform’s Guaranteed Delivery program ensures orders are not canceled. In the rare instance of a cancellation, users will receive compensation vouchers. Additionally, the new Shopee On-Time Delivery feature offers voucher compensation for orders that exceed the estimated delivery timeframe.

Upholding the Highest Brand Standards

Shopee Mall takes a multifaceted approach to maintaining a trusted environment for genuine products. The platform enforces stringent measures to identify and eliminate unauthorized sellers and counterfeit goods.

Since July 2023, Shopee Mall has witnessed a significant rise in seller applications, exceeding 1,000. However, only sellers who meet specific brand quality standards are granted access. These standards include possessing credible trademark registrations or authorization letters from authorized distributors.

Shopee Mall’s commitment doesn’t end there. The platform continuously evaluates its existing brands and sellers to ensure they maintain compliance with its high quality benchmarks. To date, over 3,000 sellers are undergoing this evaluation process to guarantee a comprehensive selection of authentic products.

For an extra layer of security, Shopee has launched the Brand Intellectual Property (IP) Portal. This one-stop platform safeguards the interests of both sellers and intellectual property owners. Sellers can leverage the portal to validate their brands’ IP rights and report suspected cases of IP infringement for investigation.

Streamlined Shopping Experience

Watsons Launches Naturals by Watsons’ Blue Beauty Range to Combat Ocean Plastic Waste

In commemoration of Earth Day, Watsons, the leading health and beauty brand under AS Watson Group, proudly introduces the Naturals by Watsons’ Special Edition Blue Beauty range. This special collection, initially launched in Hong Kong, Thailand, and Taiwan markets, is now expanding to Malaysia, Singapore, and soon to the Philippines.

The Plastic Predicament

Every year, a staggering 14 million tons of plastic find their way into our oceans, equivalent to the weight of over 140,000 blue whales. With projections indicating that by 2050, the weight of plastics in the ocean will surpass that of fish, urgent action is needed to combat this crisis. Ocean-bound plastic, defined as abandoned plastic waste within 50km from shores where waste management is lacking, wreaks havoc on marine ecosystems, impacting at least 700 species and causing the deaths of 100 million marine animals annually.

A Sustainable Solution

Malina Ngai, CEO of AS Watson, underscores the far-reaching impacts of ocean-bound plastics and Watsons’ commitment to sustainability. The Naturals by Watsons’ Special Edition Blue Beauty range features bottles made from 100% recycled ocean-bound plastic, marking a significant milestone in their sustainability journey. Ngai emphasizes the importance of raising awareness and invites customers to join the movement in protecting our oceans and marine life. “Ocean-bound plastics have far-reaching impacts, not only on the ocean but also on our habitat. To raise awareness of ocean-bound plastic, Watsons has launched Naturals by Watsons’ Special Edition Blue Beauty range. It features bottles made of 100% recycled ocean-bound plastic, representing an important milestone in our ongoing efforts to promote sustainability. The new range encourages our customers to join us in protecting the ocean and marine life, inspiring them to love their skin while loving the planet.”

The Blue Beauty Collection

The Naturals by Watsons’ Special Edition Blue Beauty range includes shower gel, body lotion, shampoo, and conditioner, each formulated with over 94% natural origin ingredients. Crafted from 100% recycled ocean-bound plastic, these products offer customers the opportunity to actively contribute to the fight against plastic waste while indulging in sustainable personal care.

Coming Soon to the Philippines

Launching in Watsons Stores across the Philippines by mid-May, the Blue Beauty range offers clean beauty products devoid of 20 unwanted ingredients. Enriched with certified organic Algae sourced from Portugal, each formulation provides powerful results through natural ingredients with deep hydration benefits.

Embrace Sustainable Living

Ngai encourages consumers to make sustainable choices in their everyday lives, emphasizing the importance of small decisions in protecting our planet. With 9,700 Sustainable Choices products available, ranging from skincare to personal care, Watsons aims to make sustainable living more accessible. By choosing Naturals by Watsons’ Special Edition Blue Beauty range, customers not only look and feel great but also contribute to a cleaner, healthier planet. Join the movement and empower positive change with Watsons today.
