$HAREHOLDER INVESTIGATION: The M&A Class Action Firm Continues to Investigate the Mergers of AE, EVGR, CCRN and BRKHConventionally known as K-Beauty, Korean skincare has transformed beauty routines around the world, and it shows no signs of slowing down. The demand for said products is strong in the Philippines thanks to two big factors: the global hallyu wave, and a focus on natural ingredients and scientific breakthroughs to achieve healthy, hydrated, and glowing skin. Fueled by a personal love for K-Beauty brands and the desire to make them more accessible to Filipinos, Rianne Tan started My Beauty Story — an online store offering premium Korean skincare at affordable prices. Her entrepreneurial journey began back in 2016 when she started reselling K-Beauty items online. After three years of selling on her university’s community Facebook group, she opened My Beauty Story on an e-commerce platform which has since become a K-Beauty go-to on the app with one of the largest product selections available for purchase. Building a K-Beauty Powerhouse While Rianne delights in the success she now enjoys, getting My Beauty Story off the ground didn’t come easy. Limited capital and logistical hurdles were problems she had to face during the early days of her business. Rianne also had to balance managing the store with her corporate job — resulting in sleepless nights spent juggling both responsibilities. To overcome those obstacles, Rianne set out to maximize efficiency with her time. After transitioning from social media selling to signing up on Lazada, Rianne streamlined her operations with automated shipping processes, allowing her to focus on growing her business and making it easier to expand My Beauty Story on the platform. Rianne also took the opportunity to explore various platform tools and join different programs curated for growing sellers like her. Since then, Rianne continued to join campaigns, steadily boosting her store’s presence on the platform where she hit the Top 1 spot in the Beauty category during an 11.11 sale. This achievement gave Rianne the confidence she needed to become a full-time entrepreneur. Connecting with Customers, Continuing the Story Not one to rest on her laurels, Rianne hired new team members and introduced new processes to keep the business running smoothly. She keeps watch of beauty trends and sources products directly from trusted brands and distributors — allowing her to shave costs without compromising quality. To complement curating and offering a diverse range of products, the store remains focused on fast, reliable shipping and excellent customer service. For Rianne, being a Preferred Seller on Lazada enhances My Beauty Story’s credibility as a trusted destination for authentic skincare products where customers can confidently shop knowing they are getting genuine items. Through Rianne’s passion for scaling her business and commitment to maintaining a high level of quality and service, she now has a loyal customer base who spreads the word about My Beauty Story, helping her reach even more potential buyers. Recognizing that skincare stories vary from person to person, Rianne and her team also create guides, recommendations, and other content tailored to different skin types and concerns. These resources empower customers to make more informed decisions and create a personalized shopping experience that goes beyond sales — positioning My Beauty Story not only as a retailer, but also as a trusted skincare partner. Looking ahead, Rianne says her team’s goal is to expand and offer a wider selection of K-Beauty products while keeping them within reach of Filipino consumers. One day, she hopes to open a physical store to continue growing relationships with K-Beauty lovers across the country. Asked whether she had any tips for anyone hoping to start their own online businesses, Rianne says, “My advice for them is to focus on a specific niche and understand their target audience. Prioritize excellent customer service and stay adaptable to market changes and feedback. Building trust is crucial — loyal customers will choose to return to you even if your prices aren’t the lowest.” Level up your skincare routine with LazBeauty!

Texas Supreme Court overturns ruling that state Attorney General Ken Paxton testify in lawsuitIs Freeport-McMoRan Stock Underperforming the Dow?By JOSH BOAK WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden said Tuesday he was “stupid” not to put his own name on pandemic relief checks in 2021, noting that Donald Trump had done so in 2020 and likely got credit for helping people out through this simple, effective act of branding. Biden did the second-guessing as he delivered a speech at the Brookings Institution defending his economic record and challenging Trump to preserve Democratic policy ideas when he returns to the White House next month.

The president laid out favorable recent economic data but acknowledged his rare public regret that he had not been more self-promotional in advertising the financial support provided by his administration as the country emerged from the pandemic. “I signed the American Rescue Plan, the most significant economic recovery package in our history, and also learned something from Donald Trump,” Biden said at the Washington-based think tank. “He signed checks for people for 7,400 bucks ... and I didn’t. Stupid.” The decision by the former reality TV star and real estate developer to add his name to the checks sent by the U.S. Treasury to millions of Americans struggling during the coronavirus marked the first time a president’s name appeared on any IRS payments. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris , who replaced him as the Democratic nominee , largely failed to convince the American public of the strength of the economy. The addition of 16 million jobs, funding for infrastructure, new factories and investments in renewable energy were not enough to overcome public exhaustion over inflation, which spiked in 2022 and left many households coping with elevated grocery, gasoline and housing costs. More than 6 in 10 voters in November’s election described the economy as “poor” or “not so good,” according to AP VoteCast, an extensive survey of the electorate. Trump won nearly 7 in 10 of the voters who felt the economy was in bad shape, paving the way for a second term as president after his 2020 loss to Biden. Biden used his speech to argue that Trump was inheriting a strong economy that is the envy of the world. The inflation rate fell without a recession that many economists had viewed as inevitable, while the unemployment rate is a healthy 4.2% and applications to start new businesses are at record levels. Biden called the numbers under his watch “a new set of benchmarks to measure against the next four years.” “President-elect Trump is receiving the strongest economy in modern history,” said Biden, who warned that Trump’s planned tax cuts could lead to massive deficits or deep spending cuts. He also said that Trump’s promise of broad tariffs on foreign imports would be a mistake, part of a broader push Tuesday by the administration to warn against Trump’s threatened action. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen also issued a word of caution about them at a summit of The Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council. “I think the imposition of broad based tariffs, at least of the type that have been discussed, almost all economists agree this would raise prices on American consumers,” she said. Biden was also critical of Trump allies who have pushed Project 2025 , a policy blueprint from the Heritage Foundation that calls for a complete overhaul of the federal government. Trump has disavowed participation in it, though parts were written by his allies and overlap with his stated views on economics, immigration, education policy and civil rights. “I pray to God the president-elect throws away Project 2025,” Biden said. “I think it would be an economic disaster.” Associated Press writer Fatima Hussein in Washington contributed to this report.
