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.

Your questions answered by Ruth from Compare Funerals Spain
– Why should I have a funeral plan? Having been funeral planning for over 10 year I’ve experienced some very sad and upset families when nothing is in place. A Spanish funeral plans will ensure that all costs are covered for your funeral service. Getting a prepaid plan will help you feel assured that your family will not be under any financial strain when it comes to paying for your funeral. A plan also means you can have peace of mind that everything has been organised in advance, so your loved ones do not have to make any difficult decisions.
– Why choose Compare Funerals? There seems to be a gap in Spain between independent funeral directors, offering plans at a good price but lacking the security of an established Trust or ability to cover a client overseas and Providers who seem to charge more than necessary. We want to be right in the middle and offer the best of both worlds. Our best-priced plan is only 2,250€ and does the essentials.
– Can I do a payment plan? All our plans are payable in full or over up to 5 years interest FREE. The interest free periods are based on initial deposit. The higher the deposit the less your monthly repayments will be.
– Can I transfer the plan? The answer is YES. You could name 2 people on one plan however if you had a friend/family member pass away we can transfer the plan into a 3rd party’s name.
– What happens if I move? All our plans offer the equivalent service in Spain (including the islands), Portugal, Republic of Ireland and the UK. If you moved to the UK, we would transfer the plan to one of our many partners at no extra cost to you.
– Is paperwork included? Yes, your family will receive a death certificate in Spanish and an international certification in English. We also provide a cremation certificate that allows the ashes on board a plane.

Vélez-Málaga celebrates its XLIV Pilgrimage this weekend in honor of the Virgin of Los Remedios Coronada: {Translation, summary}
– The events will start on Saturday, 18 may at 16.00 hours at the Ermita del Cerro and will continue until Sunday at the Finca de La Pola.
– “This weekend is the XLIV edition of the Pilgrimage of Vélez-Málaga in honour of the Virgen de Los Remedios Coronada and from the Delegation of Popular Traditions we are going to present the programme, which starts on Saturday at 16.00 hours with the Marian act in the Chapel of Cerro de San Cristobal and will continue at 17.00 hours with the descent of the Virgin to the Plaza de Las Carmelitas. Once there, the journey will begin towards La Finca de La Pola, where it is expected to arrive around 21.00 hours and where we will experience two intense days of devotion and celebration,” said the councillor for Popular Traditions.
– Lourdes Piña went on to detail the programme. “One of the most intense moments will be at midnight, with the traditional recitation of the Salve a la Santísima Virgen de Los Remedios in the chapel with the lighting of the candles. Sunday will begin at 13.00 hours with the campaign Mass in the Hermitage of the Finca de La Pola. And after a day of celebration among friends and brothers and sisters, at 18.00 hours we will start the return journey to the Chapel of the Cerro de San Cristóbal. I would like to point out that there is a free bus service on Saturday from 22.30 hours until 2.30 hours, from the Plaza de Las Carmelitas to the Finca de La Pola, in both directions. Finally, we would like to remind you that the drought decree of the Junta de Andalucía is still in force, so barbecues are not allowed in the Finca de La Pola. It has been forbidden since last year and is still in force”, concluded the councillor, who thanked the Hermandad for their work and dedication.

Do You Believe In Coincidences?
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico shot:
– The Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, was injured this Wednesday after being shot at the end of a government meeting held in the city of Handlova, in the center of the country, in an incident that his party links to the opposition. The president, close to the Kremlin’s positions, was talking with followers of his party outside a cultural center where the meeting had been held when he received several gunshot wounds.
– Fico has been rushed to the hospital. UPDATE: Fico is in serious but stabilized condition after one bullet went through Fico’s stomach and a second hit a joint.

Slovakia rejects the pandemic agreement proposed by the WHO:
– Just last week, the Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, gave this speech:
“I also state clearly that we (the Slovak Democratic Party) will NOT support strengthening the powers of the World Health Organization.”
“One study after another confirms the scandalous consequences of mass vaccination with experimental, untested vaccines”
“Anyone who had a different opinion about vaccination against Covid was a danger to society”

It is not a mistake- MRI appointments at two in the morning to reduce waiting lists: {Translation, summary}
– For the time being, this measure has only been implemented at the Regional Hospital, where there are three MRI machines. At the moment, they are in operation from Monday to Sunday and from eight in the morning until two in the morning. This measure was confirmed to SUR by the manager of the Regional Hospital, José Antonio Ortega, who justifies it by the need to “give maximum performance” to the machinery and staff.
– The deputy medical director of the Regional Hospital, Silvia Rodríguez, understands that for some patients very early or very late night appointments can be an “uncomfortable schedule”. However, she also assures that if there is a justified reason for not being able to attend in the early hours of the morning, they try to make an appointment in another time slot. However, she insists that an absence must be justified. Otherwise, the MRI appointment is missed and the patient is stranded in the limbo of bureaucracy. It can be a long time before he or she is called back.
– Several doctors consulted tell SUR that, at the moment, it is a “lesser evil” compared to the problems caused by the waiting lists. Source & photo credit, Spanish: https://www.diariosur.es/malaga/error-citas-resonancias-dos-madrugada-reducir-listas-20240514192657-nt.html
