Held during National Mental Health Month in the Philippines, the intimate afternoon let guests step away from their usual routines and make time for creativity and meaningful connection.
More than a year-end gathering, the event was LAC’s way of recognizing the people who supported the brand through stories, collaborations, and conversations throughout the year.
Now on its third installment, the thanksgiving celebration has become a cherished tradition for LAC to reconnect with the media and KOL community in a more personal, relaxed 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 to reconnect people with themselves in different ways. Guests began with an immersive aromatherapy session, exploring scents and creating personalized blends. This sensory experience offered a simple yet effective opportunity to unwind and be present in the moment.

Guests then moved on to leather journal making, where they built and customized their own journals using charms, trinkets, leather cords, and notebook inserts. A live engraving booth allowed attendees to add an extra personal touch, while a gratitude prompt encouraged them to inaugurate their new journals by writing down one thing they were grateful for that day.
Together, the activities reflected LAC’s holistic approach to well-being—proving that wellness can be nurtured 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 touching 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 backed formulas. LAC MASQUELIER’S French Pine Bark Extract provides powerful antioxidant support while promoting circulatory, immune, eye, respiratory, joint, and skin health. LAC BrainSpeed PS combines phosphatidylserine, ginkgo biloba, and DHA—ingredients famously associated with brain health, memory, and alertness.

Meanwhile, LAC ACTIVATED Liver Protector features a thoughtful blend of traditional herbs, including turmeric, ginseng, and hawthorn, to support overall vitality and well-being. Together, the products highlight LAC’s commitment to supporting daily 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,” Teo added. “We hope everyone leaves today with good memories, a little more time for themselves, and something personal to take home.”

Through its annual thanksgiving gathering, LAC Philippines continues to foster genuine connections beyond the boardroom while encouraging a more intentional approach to everyday well-being.
With this year’s celebration, LAC gently reminded everyone 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.
