Feel Yourself Pink: Avon Empowers the Youth Through Campus Tour for Breast Cancer Awareness

Feel Yourself Pink: Avon Empowers the Youth Through Campus Tour for Breast Cancer Awareness

Avon brings the message of early detection to students across the Philippines

Every October, the world turns pink in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month but this year, Avon Philippines is making sure the message reaches a younger audience. Through the Feel Yourself Pink Campus Tour, Avon is empowering Filipino students to take charge of their breast health early, breaking the myth that breast cancer awareness is only for older women.

Why breast health awareness matters now more than ever

Breast cancer remains the most common cancer among women worldwide, with 1 in 8 affected during their lifetime. What’s more alarming is that more women in their 20s and 30s are being diagnosed—proving that it’s never too early to start self-checks and learn the signs. The good news? When detected early, localized breast cancer has a 99% five-year survival rate.

For over 30 years, Avon has been leading the fight against breast cancer globally. Since 1992, the beauty brand has donated over $951 million, funded screenings for more than 20 million women, and educated 180 million people about breast health.

Avon’s Pink Campus Tour: Making awareness accessible

Avon’s Feel Yourself Pink Campus Tour takes its advocacy straight to where the next generation lives and learns—our universities. The initiative is designed to normalize conversations about breast health and equip students with lifelong habits that promote self-awareness and early detection.

The tour is part of Avon’s Pink movement, alongside the Avon Pink Bus mobile clinic with the Philippine Cancer Society (PCS). While the Campus Tour focuses on education, the Pink Bus brings free consultations and screenings to local communities, ensuring that awareness is matched with access to care.

Celebrity ambassadors Kyline Alcantara, Kaori Oinuma, Maymay Entrata, and Enchong Dee will join select stops to amplify the message and inspire young Filipinos to “feel yourself” through regular self-checks.

Campus tour schedule

Catch the Pink Campus Tour at these universities across the Philippines:

• October 17 – University of Santo Tomas (UST)
• October 21 – Far Eastern University (FEU)
• October 24 – Ateneo de Manila University (AdMU)
• October 27 – Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) Sta. Mesa
• October 28 – Adamson University (AdU)
• November 13 – National University (NU) Manila
• November 14 – De La Salle - College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB)
• November 21 – University of the Philippines Diliman (UPD)
• November 28 – West Visayas State University (WVSU)

Voices of empowerment

Avon Ambassador Kyline Alcantara shared that she’s proud to be part of this movement.

“It’s never too early to take care of your breast health. I hope more young women feel comfortable talking about it and remind each other to ‘feel yourself’ through regular self-checks.”

Marion Limlengco, Head of Communications at Avon Philippines, added “For 139 years, Avon has been more than just a beauty brand. Our Breast Cancer Promise is about empowering everyone to act early because early detection saves lives.”

Avon’s efforts are supported by partners including ThinkPink.PH, GrabUnlimited, and Move It, forming a community that champions awareness, access, and safe spaces for women’s health. Bea Bravo, Deputy Country Marketing Head at Grab Philippines, echoed the importance of the cause, “Early detection should be a habit, not a privilege. Awareness saves lives, and routine protects them.”

Shop pink, save lives

Throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Avon will donate a portion of proceeds from select products to the Philippine Cancer Society, including curated beauty, fashion, and body care essentials. It’s a meaningful way for customers to support the cause—simply by shopping their favorite Avon items.

A legacy of care and action

Beyond this campaign, Avon continues its partnership with PCS through the Avon Pink Bus, providing breast health consultations and screenings to its representatives and communities nationwide. Together, these initiatives embody Avon’s mission to make early detection a normal part of every woman’s life.

As Avon reminds us, “Feel Yourself” isn’t just a slogan—it’s a call to prioritize your health and take the first step toward saving lives.

Belle de Jour Celebrates 20 Years of Empowerment with the Launch of Big Dreams Journey

Belle de Jour Celebrates 20 Years of Empowerment with the Launch of Big Dreams Journey

For two decades, the Belle de Jour (BDJ) Power Planner has been more than a stationery staple—it has been a trusted companion for dreamers, doers, and believers. This 2025, as BDJ marks its 20th anniversary, the beloved brand unveils a bold new chapter with the launch of Big Dreams Journey, a transformative movement that goes beyond planning and into purposeful living.

Held on October 8, 2025, at The Astbury in Makati City, the milestone event celebrated BDJ’s evolution from a pioneering planner brand into a purpose-driven empowerment ecosystem, one that continues to guide Filipinos in designing, pursuing, and living their dreams.

From Pages to Purpose: The Evolution of BDJ

When BDJ first launched its Power Planner in 2006, it quickly became a symbol of empowerment encouraging Filipinas to organize their lives with intention and courage. Over the years, BDJ has grown alongside its community, offering vision boards, guided journals, affirmation decks, and inspiring BDJ Fairs that have turned goal-setting into a creative and joyful ritual.

This year, BDJ takes another leap forward with Big Dreams Journey, a reinvention that reflects how empowerment has evolved in a post-pandemic, purpose-driven world.

“We’re expanding what we’ve always stood for,” says Darlyn Ty-Nilo, founder of Belle de Jour. “For 20 years, the planner has been our foundation. Now, we’re building on that legacy by offering more tools, more experiences, and more ways to help people live their dreams.”

Introducing the Big Dreams Journey: Tools, Workshops, and Community

The Big Dreams Journey is built on BDJ’s new Dreampowerment System, an integrated approach designed to help people move from vision to action.

This new era of BDJ focuses on three key pillars:

Tools – The iconic BDJ Planner, Vision Board Kit, and Dreampowerment Journals remain at the heart of the journey, helping users reflect, plan, and manifest their dreams.

Workshops – Through goal-setting challenges, journaling workshops, and Spark Sessions, BDJ empowers dreamers with practical guidance and emotional support.

Community – Staying true to its roots, BDJ fosters spaces where individuals uplift one another through shared stories and collective inspiration.

“Every season of BDJ brought us closer to what we were truly meant to be: not just a planner brand, but a movement,” Ty-Nilo shares. “This 20th year marks an expansion and reaffirmation of our mission to support dreamers in even more powerful ways.”

A Legacy of Dreams, A Future of Action

The launch also introduced the 2026 BDJ 20th Edition, a commemorative planner that honors 20 years of inspiration while serving as a springboard for BDJ’s next evolution. Through the Big Dreams Journey, the brand aims to turn reflection into real action proving that dreams don’t have to remain on paper; they can come alive through purposeful steps and community support.

“Dreams aren’t meant to be pursued alone,” Ty-Nilo emphasizes. “They flourish in community. That’s what Big Dreams Journey is all about creating spaces where each person’s growth fuels another’s courage to dream.”

As BDJ moves beyond the pages of its iconic planner, it embraces a deeper mission to empower individuals not just to plan their dreams, but to live them fully.

“If the first 20 years were about empowering people to plan their dreams,” Ty-Nilo concludes, “the next phase is about helping them live those dreams. We’re not just in the business of making planners anymore, we’re in the business of supporting dreams.”

With Big Dreams Journey, Belle de Jour transforms from a brand into a movement—a living ecosystem of inspiration, tools, and connection. From guided planners to meaningful experiences, BDJ continues to remind dreamers everywhere that empowerment begins with clarity, grows with action, and thrives in community.

When I first unboxed the MagFlow, I was instantly impressed by how polished it looked. Its modern, compact design that actually looks like a cute mac mini which fits perfectly my minimalist work desk and  it even complements the cozy vibe of my home office. 

Folded, it’s small enough to fit into a tote or travel pouch. The matte finish feels smooth and premium. The hinge feels solid and glides smoothly when I unfold it into stand mode. The magnetic pad instantly locks my phone into place so no more adjusting angles or guessing if it’s charging.

It’s simple, clean, and quietly elegant. It's the kind of gadget that fits right into your lifestyle instead of cluttering it.

My phone charges up to almost 45% in half an hour, which is perfect for quick top-ups before heading out. I also love that it stays cool to the touch, even during longer charging sessions. That tells me it’s built with safety and battery health in mind.

During workdays, I keep it beside my MacBook and my phone stays upright for easy viewing while charging. I use the StandBy Mode to display my calendar and reminders, which actually helps me stay organized.

Alexa Ilacad Radiates Confidence as UNIQLO’s New Bra Top Ambassador: Celebrating Comfort, Support, and Self-Expression

Confidence starts with comfort—and UNIQLO is once again redefining effortless style with its latest Bra Top campaign, featuring the ever-inspiring Alexa Ilacad as the newest Local Celebrity Partner. In an intimate and empowering event, Alexa joined host Bianca Gonzales-Intal and stylist Kat Cruz-Villanueva in a heartfelt conversation about finding inner strength, embracing self-expression, and the beauty of built-in support—both in life and in fashion.

A Celebration of Modern Women and Effortless Support

Held in Manila, the event brought together women from all walks of life to talk about what “support” truly means. For Alexa, it’s a balance between embracing vulnerability and growing through experience. “Growing up in front of the camera, I was always conscious of my looks,” she shared. “People tend to compare you to others, but over time, you gain wisdom and learn to handle it with grace.”

Kat echoed this sentiment, noting that confidence is something you earn through perseverance. “When you’ve done your best and learned from mistakes, you can stand tall in who you are,” she said.

Together, their conversation reflected UNIQLO’s philosophy—celebrating women who are strong, stylish, and unapologetically themselves.

Comfort That Moves with You

In true UNIQLO fashion, the Bra Top Collection combines elegance with functionality, offering comfort that feels natural and liberating. Alexa described it as her go-to piece for busy workdays and shoots. “When I wear the Bra Top, I can just focus on my work because I feel secure and comfortable,” she said.

Stylist Kat Cruz-Villanueva added that the Bra Top is a versatile essential for her fashion toolkit. “It’s something I always include in my styling gigs,” she explained. “Models love it because it moves with them—it’s effortless, flattering, and easy to pair.”

The Iconic UNIQLO Bra Top Lineup

UNIQLO’s latest Bra Top collection celebrates body positivity, comfort, and timeless design, offering something for every woman:

Ribbed Cropped Bra Top – Features contouring ribbed fabric and 360° chest support, designed to flatter all body types.

Washable Knit Bra Top – A stylish sleeveless knit piece that’s machine-washable and perfect for layering, as seen on Bianca during the event.

AIRism Bra Series – Includes the AIRism Bra Camisole and AIRism Bra Sleeveless Top, known for their cooling fabric, sleek fit, and invisible support—ideal for tropical climates like the Philippines.

According to Jan Jizelle Ang, UNIQLO Philippines Marketing Director, “The Bra Top is more than just a clothing item—it’s a timeless essential that effortlessly gives you confidence and style.”

Continuing the Conversation: Confidence Beyond Fashion

The event’s meaningful exchange didn’t end there. The discussion between Alexa, Bianca, and Kat on confidence and comfort will soon be featured on Bianca Gonzales’s Paano Ba ‘To? podcast—available on Facebook by the end of October and Spotify by November. It’s an inspiring listen for women navigating their own journeys of self-discovery and empowerment.

From its design to its message, the UNIQLO Bra Top Collection empowers women to move with confidence and ease. Whether you’re running errands, attending meetings, or performing under the spotlight like Alexa, this wardrobe essential gives you the freedom to be your authentic self—supported every step of the way.
