MOONETTE – Organic Skincare for Mature Skin
We are a Torrox-based company specialising in the creation of formulae which help prevent premature skin ageing. We are committed to making effective products at affordable prices.
Your skin health matters to us. How you feed your skin is as important as how you feed your body. Why settle for anything less than natural and organic?
As our skin is the first layer of our defence against microbial infections, ultraviolet radiation and environmental contamination it plays a vital role in our health. As we grow older, however, our skin becomes thinner, wrinkled, and more sensitive; hence it requires the use of treatments containing specific ingredients to the care of treating mature skin.
Recognising this need we have created a range of formulae which help
-slow down ageing process by smoothing fine lines and wrinkles.
-improve facial complexion and eliminate blemishes.
At Moonette, we are passionate about health, beauty and plants. Your skin will benefit from the properties of botanic essential oils combined with a selection of nutrients for deep hydration, cell revitalization and antioxidant effect, all sourced from the finest natural ingredients with gorgeous fragrances.
Naturally, we care about our planet and feel the need to help reduce the sheer volumes of plastics waste that are generated daily around the globe. Presently, we are minimizing the usage of plastic materials in our production while seeking alternative forms of packaging. To help reduce pollution we are asking all local customers to recycle or reuse their Moonette skincare containers, and offering a small discount on future purchases to customers recycling containers.

Filling a car’s petrol tank now costs around 13 euros more than it did a week ago:
– The Spanish government subsidy of 20 cents per litre at petrol stations ended last year and is only in place now for sectors linked to transport, agriculture, livestock and fishing.
– Adding the additional costs now that the subsidy has been scrapped for private motorists, filling up a 55-litre tank (the capacity of an average car) now costs 93 euros, on 27 December it cost an average of 80.30 euros; while petrol has gone from 76.67 to 89.65 euros. With both fuels the cost increase equates to a rise of 13 euros. Full article: https://www.surinenglish.com/malaga/fuel-petrol-diesel-prices-20230105103519-nt.html

Who can benefit from discounts on the electricity bill through the electric social bonus?: {Translation}
– The General Directorate of Consumption reminds consumers and users in a situation of economic or social vulnerability or at risk of social exclusion that they can benefit from a discount on their electricity bill through the so-called electric social bonus, from which they can benefit if they comply with a set of requirements.
– These are discounts on the Voluntary Price for Small Consumers (PVPC) that can be up to 40%, depending on the case of each consumer. By virtue of Royal Decree-Law 18/2022, of October 18, the discount can range between 65% and 80% if the invoice contains any day of electricity consumption between October 20, 2022 and December 31, 2023.
– The people who can benefit from the electric social bonus are the so-called ‘vulnerable consumers’, the ‘severe vulnerable consumers’, the ‘vulnerable consumers at risk of social exclusion’, or, until December 31, 2023, the person consumer member of a ‘low-income household’.
– There are various requirements that applicants must take into account, from their level of income, the contracted power, that it is covered by the PVPC -and not the free market-, as well as income multipliers can be applied in the case of recognized disability, situation of gender violence, condition of victim of terrorism, situation of dependency, or that the cohabitation unit is made up of a single parent and, at least, one minor person.
– The requirements to be considered in each case, the documentation to present, the reference marketing companies, application deadlines and renewal conditions are detailed on the Consumo Responde website.
– It must be remembered that the social bonus will be applied for a period of 2 years, unless there was a prior loss of any of the conditions that give the right to its perception.

The price of electricity rises again: {Translation, summary}
– The average price of electricity for regulated rate customers linked to the wholesale market will rise this Monday to 85.23 euros per megawatt hour (MWh), which represents an increase of 893.36% compared to 8.58 euros/ MWh on Sunday. Source, Spanish:

MARBELLA
They find the body of a woman without head or hands on a beach in Marbella: {Translation}
– The body of a woman without head or hands was found this Sunday floating on a beach in the Malaga municipality of Marbella, a case about which no further information has been disclosed and which is currently being investigated by the National Police . A police patrol car initially traveled to the scene of the events, after the notice made by an individual.
– The Cimacc 091 room received a call at 5:00 p.m. this Sunday alerting them to the presence of a corpse on Las Cañas beach in Marbella, near the Club 200 restaurant. The same sources have reported that it has been opened an investigation to clarify the facts, which the Civil Guard is in charge of .
– The lack of hands and head will make it extremely difficult to identify the corpse, since neither fingerprints nor dental pieces can be taken as a reference. In these cases, the first step in the investigation is to analyze the missing persons file, to try to find a person who matches the physical characteristics of the body that has appeared.

EUROPE
Most EU countries, including Spain, increased their imports from Russia despite sanctions: {Translation, summary}
– Between February and August 2022, Spain increased its ‘purchases’ from Moscow by 51%, according to Eurostat data.
– Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, Denmark, Estonia, Sweden and Ireland are the ones that have broken ties with Putin the most.
– Faced with the small group of community partners that partly cut off the tap to the Kremlin, the remaining 20 have increased imports to a greater or lesser extent. The case of Spain is significant, since it increased them by 51%, with a value of 4,700 million euros in the aforementioned period. Much more relevant are the increases in Slovenia (346%), Luxembourg (262%) or Austria (139%) , which lead that classification. Also Hungary, Greece and Hungary are in that part of the list. The Hungarian case, however, is not too surprising since the government of Viktor Orbán is considered Putin’s ‘Trojan horse’ in the EU and has boycotted greater harshness in the measures against Russia.
