A Wellness Artventure with LAC Philippines: An Afternoon of Scent, Stories, and Meaningful Connections

There’s something special about being invited to events that allow you to take a break from your usual routine, meet familiar faces, make new friends, and discover something new about yourself. Recently, I had the pleasure of attending LAC Philippines’ third annual Thanksgiving celebration, “Wellness Artventure: Scent & Story with LAC,” held at Fifty-Nine Flower Cafe in Makati.

It was my first time attending an LAC event and their annual celebration, so I was genuinely happy to be part of this special gathering. One of the highlights for me was seeing my fellow OG mommy bloggers again! It was also wonderful to meet new content creators and connect with people who share the same passion for creating stories, sharing experiences, and inspiring others through their platforms.

More than just a Thanksgiving party, the event was a lovely reminder that taking care of ourselves also means making time for creativity, relaxation, and meaningful connections.

A Celebration of Wellness and Gratitude

LAC Philippines brought together its media partners, key opinion leaders (KOLs), content creators, and friends for an afternoon dedicated to well-being and appreciation.

Held during National Mental Health Month in the Philippines, the gathering encouraged everyone to slow down, step away from their busy schedules, and enjoy activities that promote self-expression and mindfulness.

According to Evelyn Teo, Chief Marketing Officer of LAC Global, the annual celebration is an opportunity to reconnect with the people who have supported the brand throughout the years. For its third edition, LAC wanted to create a more personal experience where guests could relax, enjoy themselves, and spend time focusing on their own well-being.

As someone who spends a lot of time creating content, managing social media, and working on different projects, I truly appreciate events like this. Sometimes, we get so caught up in our daily responsibilities that we forget to pause and enjoy the little things.

Creating My Own Perfume: A Scent-sational Experience

One of my favorite parts of the afternoon was the aromatherapy and perfume-making activity!

We had the opportunity to explore different scents and create our own personalized fragrance. It was such a fun and refreshing experience because I don’t always get the chance to try something like this.

Choosing scents and putting together a fragrance felt like a little creative adventure. I enjoyed the process of discovering combinations that suited my preferences and creating something that felt uniquely mine.

It was also a lovely reminder of how our senses can influence our mood and how taking a few moments to enjoy a pleasant scent can make an ordinary day feel more special.

A Journal Made by Me!

Another activity I thoroughly enjoyed was making my own leather journal.

We were given the chance to personalize our journals using different charms, trinkets, ropes, and notebook inserts. There was also a live engraving booth where we could add an extra personal touch to our creations.

What made the activity even more meaningful was the gratitude prompt, which encouraged everyone to write down one thing they were thankful for that day.

I loved that we weren’t simply given a ready-made souvenir. We actually got to create something ourselves and make it personal!

As a blogger, I also appreciate having a journal where I can write down ideas, inspirations, and little reminders. It was nice to spend time doing something creative with my hands instead of focusing on a screen.

Between making my own perfume and designing my leather journal, I went home with two personalized creations and wonderful memories of the experience.

Reconnecting with Fellow Mommy Bloggers and Content Creators

Of course, no event would be complete without the people who make the experience memorable!

I was especially happy to see my fellow OG mommy bloggers again. We’ve all had our own journeys in the blogging and content creation world, and it’s always nice to reconnect with people who understand the joys and challenges of this space.

At the same time, meeting new content creators was equally exciting. The digital community continues to grow and evolve, and it’s inspiring to meet people with fresh ideas, unique perspectives, and their own stories to share.

It was a wonderful afternoon filled with conversations, laughter, and opportunities to build new connections. I’m grateful to LAC Philippines for bringing everyone together in an atmosphere that felt more like a gathering of friends than a formal event.

The celebration also included a special appreciation video recognizing the KOL community and the stories, content, and collaborations shared with LAC throughout the year. It was a thoughtful gesture that highlighted the importance of the relationships behind every partnership.

Getting to Know LAC Philippines’ Wellness Products

Aside from the creative activities, guests also learned more about three of LAC’s popular nutritional supplements and their intended wellness benefits.

LAC MASQUELIER® French Pine Bark Extract is known for its antioxidant properties and is marketed to support different aspects of health, including circulation and skin health.

LAC BrainSpeed® PS combines phosphatidylserine, Ginkgo biloba, and DHA, ingredients associated with brain health, memory, and alertness.

Meanwhile, LAC ACTIVATED® Liver Protector™ features traditional herbal ingredients, including turmeric, ginseng, and hawthorn, as part of its nutritional supplement formulation.

The product introductions offered guests an opportunity to learn more about LAC’s approach to nutritional supplementation and its range of wellness products. As always, supplements should be chosen according to individual needs, and their benefits should be considered alongside a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

A Meaningful Afternoon to Remember

What I appreciated most about LAC Philippines’ Wellness Artventure: Scent & Story with LAC was how it brought together wellness, creativity, and community in one afternoon.

The event wasn’t just about celebrating another year of partnerships. It was also about reminding us that self-care doesn’t always have to involve grand gestures or expensive experiences. Sometimes, it can be as simple as exploring a new hobby, creating something with your hands, writing down what you’re grateful for, or spending quality time with people who inspire you.

My first LAC annual Thanksgiving celebration turned out to be a memorable one. I’m thankful for the invitation, the chance to reconnect with fellow OG mommy bloggers, the opportunity to meet new content creators, and the fun experience of making my own perfume and leather journal.

Thank you, LAC Philippines, for a lovely afternoon filled with creativity, gratitude, and meaningful connections!

Here’s to more opportunities to learn, create, connect, and take a little time for ourselves amid our busy everyday lives.
