In celebration of Women’s Month, we gathered an inspiring mix of strong, fabulous women for a day dedicated to strength, wellness, and self-care at The Editor’s Room featuring Fortima. The event unfolded in two exciting parts—an energizing All Women’s Run and an intimate brunch at Yu Lei, Okada. This thoughtful collaboration pulsed with unique energy, championing well-being and encouraging women to carve out time for themselves while embracing their many roles in life.
A Run to Remember
The morning kicked off with the All Women’s Run at the SM Mall of Asia Complex, a fun and empowering experience that gave women a chance to take a moment for themselves—regardless of whether they were seasoned runners or first-timers lacing up their sneakers for the occasion.
Many shared that joining a fun run had always been on their bucket list, but they never found the right moment to do so. This event became the perfect opportunity, giving them the push they needed to finally take that first step and make their experience even more meaningful. The event also featured a heartwarming Kids’ Dash, where moms got the chance to run alongside their little ones. Moms and kids alike enjoyed bonding, laughing, and cheering each other on, showing how much fitness doesn’t have to be a solo endeavor. The children, especially, embraced the challenge with enthusiasm, with some even placing in the top spots!
Wellness Conversations Over Lunch
After the morning’s adrenaline rush, we gathered at Yu Lei, Okada for a relaxing and insightful brunch session. We delved into a topic close to the hearts of many women: stress and the challenges of self-care. Amid the daily hustle, women, particularly moms and career-driven ladies, often find themselves juggling multiple roles. Between balancing jobs, family duties, and personal aspirations, many women tend to put their well-being last. The conversation shed light on the importance of self-care, particularly in managing stress and maintaining overall health.
Leading the conversation, Fortima Brand Lead Dani De Leon shared an all-too-relatable truth: Stress isn’t just something we feel, but it’s also something we see. Skin can reflect the effects of stress, like dull, tired-looking skin to sagging and loss of radiance. And let’s be honest, no one likes hearing, “You look haggard!”—especially when you’re already doing a million things at once.
Fortima, with its essential nutrients, serves as a reliable partner for women striving to stay strong and beautiful despite their many roles. With just a capsule a day, it helps strengthen immunity, fight toxins, and combat the visible effects of stress, showing that self-care doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s a simple habit, but one that can make a significant difference in how you feel and look. And as guests enjoyed a delicious meal, they also connected with one another, exchanging stories and tips on how they navigate their busy lives while prioritizing wellness.
The day served as a beautiful reminder that women deserve to take time for themselves, nurture their relationships, and invest in their well-being. It reinforced the importance of self-care, relationships, and well-being for women, and was filled with laughter, joy, and a strong sense of community, all of which represent true strength and beauty.
