LAC Philippines Celebrates Its Third Thanksgiving with Aromatherapy, Creative Workshops, and Meaningful Connections
As the pace of everyday life continues to demand more of our time and attention, taking a moment to slow down can make all the difference.
For LAC Philippines, that moment came through an afternoon filled with soothing scents, hands on creativity, heartfelt gratitude, and meaningful connections.
LAC Philippines recently celebrated its third annual Thanksgiving gathering, “Wellness Artventure: Scent & Story with LAC,” at Fifty Nine Flower Cafe in Makati. Bringing together media partners, key opinion leaders (KOLs), content creators, and friends of the brand, the intimate event offered a refreshing break from busy schedules and an opportunity to reconnect in a more personal setting.
Held in October, National Mental Health Month in the Philippines, the celebration highlighted the importance of making time for personal well being, creative expression, and the relationships that bring meaning to everyday life.
A Thanksgiving Celebration That Goes Beyond Business
For LAC Philippines, the annual Thanksgiving gathering is more than a simple year end celebration. It is a chance to express appreciation for the people who have helped shape the brand's journey through their stories, collaborations, and continued support.
Now in its third year, the event has become a meaningful tradition that brings the LAC community together beyond professional commitments, creating space for genuine conversations and shared moments.
“It’s hard to believe this is already our third Thanksgiving together. What makes this gathering special for us is being able to spend time with the people who have become such an important part of the LAC community, outside of our usual work conversations,” said Evelyn Teo, Chief Marketing Officer of LAC Global.
“This year, with October being National Mental Health Month in the Philippines, we wanted to create an afternoon where everyone could step away from the usual pace, enjoy themselves, and give a little time to their own well being.”
The gathering reflected a simple yet important message: caring for yourself does not always have to involve grand gestures. Sometimes, it begins with slowing down, trying something new, or sharing a memorable afternoon with people who make you feel connected.
Aromatherapy and Personalized Blends for a Moment of Calm
The afternoon began with an aromatherapy session that invited guests to explore the relationship between scent, personal preferences, and relaxation.
Participants experimented with different fragrances and created their own personalized scent blends, turning the activity into an opportunity to pause, engage their senses, and enjoy the process of making something uniquely their own.
Amid the conversations and activities, the session encouraged guests to be present in the moment and appreciate the little things that can make an ordinary day feel more refreshing.
The experience also offered a fitting reminder during National Mental Health Month that setting aside time for relaxation and self reflection can be a valuable part of an everyday wellness routine.
Turning Creativity Into a Personal Keepsake
After the aromatherapy session, guests put their creativity to work through a leather journal making activity.
With an assortment of charms, trinkets, ropes, and notebook inserts, each participant had the freedom to personalize a journal that reflected their individual style. A live engraving booth added another thoughtful touch, allowing guests to make their creations even more personal.
The activity became more than an arts and crafts session. It gave everyone a chance to slow down, enjoy a hands on creative process, and bring home a keepsake with a story of its own.
To make the experience even more meaningful, guests were invited to begin their journals by responding to a gratitude prompt: write down one thing they were grateful for that day.
The simple exercise encouraged a moment of reflection amid the festivities, reinforcing the idea that gratitude can begin with something small and personal.
Together, the aromatherapy and journal making activities brought the event's theme to life, showing how creativity, reflection, and moments of relaxation can become meaningful parts of a more intentional approach to well being.
Celebrating the People Behind Every Story
At the heart of LAC Philippines' third Thanksgiving celebration was its community of media partners and KOLs, whose contributions have helped bring the brand's wellness conversations to a wider audience.
A special appreciation video highlighted the stories, content, and collaborations shared throughout the year, recognizing the creators and media partners who have continued to support LAC.
The tribute served as a heartfelt expression of gratitude for the relationships built over time and the collective efforts behind every campaign, conversation, and shared story.
In a world where professional relationships often revolve around deadlines and deliverables, the gathering offered a welcome opportunity to connect on a more personal level and celebrate the people behind the work.
“Every year, we look forward to this opportunity to simply be together. We’re grateful for the relationships we’ve built with our media partners and KOLs, and for all the conversations, stories, and collaborations we’ve shared over the years,” Evelyn Teo added.
“We hope everyone leaves today with good memories, a little more time for themselves, and something personal to take home with them.”
Supporting Everyday Wellness With Science Based Formulas
Beyond the creative activities and community celebration, guests also had the opportunity to learn about three of LAC's best selling nutritional supplements, each formulated to support different aspects of everyday health.
LAC MASQUELIER® French Pine Bark Extract features French pine bark extract, known for its antioxidant properties. The formula is positioned to support circulatory, immune, eye, respiratory, joint, and skin health.
LAC BrainSpeed® PS combines phosphatidylserine, Ginkgo biloba, and DHA. These ingredients are associated with brain health and cognitive functions such as memory and alertness.
LAC ACTIVATED® Liver Protector™ features a blend of traditional herbs, including turmeric, ginseng, and hawthorn, as part of LAC's range of nutritional supplements designed to support overall health and well being.
Together, the three formulas illustrate LAC's approach to nutritional supplementation, with targeted formulations intended to complement different wellness needs.
Their introduction added another dimension to the celebration, connecting the event's emphasis on personal well being with LAC's broader commitment to offering science based nutritional products.
As with any supplement, individual needs may vary, and products should be used according to their labels and appropriate professional guidance.
Making Time for What Matters Most
LAC Philippines' third annual Thanksgiving celebration brought together the many elements that make well being personal: a calming scent, a creative project, a moment of gratitude, and the company of people who make a difference.
Through “Wellness Artventure: Scent & Story with LAC,” the brand created an afternoon where appreciation went beyond words and became something guests could enjoy, create, and take home.
The gathering also reinforced the value of nurturing relationships outside the usual work environment, giving media partners, KOLs, and friends of the brand an opportunity to reconnect and celebrate their shared journey.
As LAC Philippines continues to build its community, its annual Thanksgiving tradition serves as a reminder that well being can be woven into everyday life through small, intentional choices. Whether it means taking a few quiet moments for yourself, expressing gratitude, exploring your creativity, or reconnecting with the people around you, even a little time can make a meaningful difference.
And sometimes, the most memorable afternoons are the ones that remind us to pause, appreciate the present, and make room for the things that truly matter.
