MOONETTE – Organic Skincare for Mature Skin: Indulge in timeless self-care this Valentine’s Day with Moonette’s organic skincare. Elevate your skincare ritual and let love glow, exclusively for our dear 60 plus QUEENS!
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.

SPAIN

Tractors choke Spanish city streets as farmers protest EU policy:
– Spanish farmers drove tractors through city streets disrupting traffic on Thursday as they stepped up their protest against soaring costs, bureaucracy and cheap competition from outside the European Union. The protests, which started spontaneously on Tuesday after spilling over from other EU countries, are backed by the country’s three main farmers’ associations.
– Dozens of tractors surrounded the regional parliament in Barcelona after their drivers spent the night in the city centre.
– Farmers disrupted traffic in smaller cities all over the country, including central Avila, Vitoria in the north and Antequera in the south. Since Tuesday, Spanish farmers have blocked highways and ports in Malaga and Castellon and boulevards in Barcelona and elsewhere.
– The protests prompted the government to distribute an additional 269 million euros ($290 million) in subsidies for as many as 140,000 farmers and for the European Commission, the EU executive, to scrap a plan to halve pesticide use in the bloc.

MALAGA PROVINCE

Tense night during farmers’ protest in Malaga province as lorry set on fire – police charge at demonstrators firing tear gas cartridges and rubber bullets despite the presence of families with children:
– Farmers’ protests across Malaga province intensified overnight after a lorry was set on fire in Antequera on Wednesday evening (7 February).
– Tractors formed a blockade in front of a Mercadona logistics centre in Antequera yesterday despite a heavy police presence. They also cut off the A-92 motorway in Antequera for almost an hour, leaving traffic backed up for several kilometres. Tension escalated about 8pm when riot police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to clear the protesters. SUR can confirm that amid the chaos a lorry carrying chemicals and plastics was burnt at the entrance to the Mercadona logistics centre.
– Lorries forced to queue outside the area were finally able to enter about midnight after the protesters dispersed. Farmers have since criticised police for their action. “There were whole families and children here.” Full article: https://www.surinenglish.com/malaga/farmers-protest-police-clash-20240208211026-nt.html

MALAGA CITY

Cinema tickets break 10 euro barrier for first time in Malaga, making the province one of most expensive in Spain to see a film on the big screen:
– A glance at the billboard next weekend shows the new trend with two Malaga cinemas that break the psychological – and economic – barrier of ten euros per seat. To attend the premiere of Ferrari next Saturday, which stars Penelope Cruz and Adam Driver, or to go to see the Spanish hit film El Correo in Plaza Mayor or the Vialia cinema and an adult ticket will cost 10.40 euros with these Yelmo chain outlets.
– This is the most expensive ticket price in Malaga, and coincides with the most in-demand weekend screenings. The next most expensive rates in Spain are in Madrid and Barcelona where the same tickets cost 12.40 and 11.40 euros, respectively.
– Malaga has held the most expensive box office prices in the Andalucía region for decades, ahead even of Seville, which in the last ten years has taken the lead in public attendance figures thanks to offering cheaper tickets. With the latest rate update, Malaga province further increases its gap with the rest of the region since, in addition to Vialia and Plaza Mayor, three other cinemas will set you back more than nine euros: Kinépolis La Cañada (9.50 euros) and Red Dog Puerto Banús (9.20 euros), and Marbella and Mk2 Miramar Fuengirola (nine euros). The Yelmo cinema in Rincón de la Victoria, the cost is 8.90 euros.
– It’s worth noting that the Albéniz cinema in Malaga city offers premiere films in original version with Spanish subtitles at six euros, and Multicines Rosaleda costs 5.90 euros. Full article: https://www.surinenglish.com/malaga/cinema-tickets-break-euro-barrier-for-first-20240207230126-nt.html

Iceland volcano erupts again, spewing huge lava fountains into air:
– A volcano in southwestern Iceland erupted on Thursday for the third time since December, pumping lava up to 80 metres (260 feet) into the air and threatening to disrupt life in Reykjanes peninsula. Video footage showed fountains of bright-orange molten rock spewing from cracks in the ground as daylight broke.
– The latest eruptive fissure, the sixth outbreak since 2021, was roughly 3 km (2 miles) long, Iceland’s meteorological office said. Intense earthquake activity began around 5:30 a.m. and the with the eruption itself starting 30 minutes later, it added.

Spain’s paella rice could ‘disappear’, say farmers angry at EU rules:
– A Spanish rice variety traditionally used to make paella is under threat from a fungus after the European Union banned a pesticide farmers said they relied upon, in another example of how the bloc’s environmental rules are angering growers.
– Three rice producers in the Valencia region said their harvest of arroz bomba, or bomb rice, a variety grown almost exclusively in Spain, was half the 10-year average in 2023 as a result of the Pyricularia fungus which causes rice blast disease. Bomba rice “is very likely to disappear,” said Miguel Minguet, a rice farmer in the Albufera Natural Park in Valencia. “Our crop is going to be lost to regulations.” Full article: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/spains-paella-rice-could-disappear-say-farmers-angry-eu-rules-2024-02-08/

Renfe cancels hundreds of trains ahead of planned national rail strike in Spain on Friday:

The CC OO union has called a day of strike action from the early hours of Friday until 11pm on the same day to demand the unblocking of the collective agreements already agreed between the unions and the company and which the government has paralysed.
– For passengers whose train is not operating on the list of minimum services, Renfe will allow them to travel on another train at the time nearest to the one purchased, as long as there are seats. The ticket can also be cancelled or changed to another date free of charge, said the state rail operator.

The reason why caps are now attached to plastic bottles: {Translation, summary}
– The new caps are the implementation of several regulations of the European Union, and at the state level, that seek to minimize environmental impact of this waste.
– From 3 July 2024, all bottles of up to 3 litres shall be required to have caps permanently attached to the container. This new packaging design is an application of “ecodesign”, which prioritizes the environmental criterion in addition to the basic functions of the packaging.
