LAC Philippines brought together its media partners, KOLs, and friends for its third annual Thanksgiving celebration, “Wellness Artventure: Scent & Story with LAC,” held at Fifty-Nine Flower Cafe in Makati. Set during National Mental Health Month in the Philippines, the intimate afternoon made guests step away from their usual routines and make time for creativity and meaningful connection.

More than a year-end gathering, the event served as LAC’s way of recognizing the people who have continued to support the brand through stories, collaborations, and conversations throughout the year. Now on its third edition, the Thanksgiving celebration has become an opportunity for LAC to reconnect with the media and KOL community in a more personal setting.

“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 afternoon featured two activities designed around different ways of reconnecting with oneself. Guests began with an aromatherapy session, exploring different scents and creating their own personalized blends. The sensory experience offered a simple opportunity to unwind and be present in the moment.

Guests then moved into leather journal making, building and personalizing their own journals with charms, trinkets, ropes, and notebook inserts. A live engraving booth allowed attendees to add another personal touch, while a gratitude prompt encouraged them to begin their journals by writing down one thing they were grateful for that day.

Together, the activities reflected LAC’s approach to well-being as something that can also be supported through everyday moments of relaxation, creativity, and reflection.

The celebration also featured a special appreciation video dedicated to LAC’s KOL community, highlighting the stories, content, and collaborations shared throughout the year. The gesture recognized the continued support of the creators and media partners who help bring LAC’s wellness conversations to wider audiences.

Guests were also introduced to three of LAC’s top-selling, scientifically based formulas.  LAC MASQUELIER’s® French Pine Bark Extract provides antioxidant support and helps support circulatory, immune, eye, respiratory, joint, 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 a blend of traditional herbs, including turmeric, ginseng, and hawthorn, to support overall health and well-being. Together, the products reflect LAC’s approach to supporting different aspects of everyday health through targeted nutritional supplementation.

“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.”

Through its annual Thanksgiving gathering, LAC Philippines continues to create opportunities for its community to connect beyond the usual work setting, while encouraging a more intentional approach to everyday well-being. With its 2026 celebration, LAC reminded guests that caring for oneself can take many forms, from engaging the senses and creating something by hand to simply making time to connect and enjoy the company of others.
